If you want to talk about underrated look into POWER CPUs.
Motherboards like the tallos 2 are completely open source( except for an nvme storage controller) and they already offer x86_64 levels of performance. The only con right now is software support and the cost.
Lolcat, yt-dlp, hyprland. Honesty though most of what I find cool these days wouldn’t make any sense to a Windows user. Like DWM, ST, XBPS, lf, ly, neovim, etc.
I wouldn’t expect logic from the company that now acts like unreal and unreal tournament which made them the company they are today don’t exist. Like seriously you delisted all of it. What is wrong with you!
I recently made a post discussing my move to Linux on Fedora, and it’s been going great. But today I think I have now become truly part of this community. I ran a command that borked my bootloader and had to do a fresh install. Learned my lesson with modifying the bootloader without first doing thorough investigation lol....
I have often wondered if you can take an android phone, drill and rip out all the sensors and radio transmitters, and use wired Ethernet through a VPN router and still be able to use just banking apps as that seems to be one thing I keep a proprietary phone around for.
Edit: I forgot the speaker and the mic though the mic could be classed as a sensor
So basically nvidia makes their drivers on Linux a pain to install and use and Linux’s creator has called them out on it in the past. So PopOS is known for having tools that make getting them working easier.
AMD on the other hand has open source drivers so they are right in the kernel. So their GPUS are just plug and play like a USB mouse
I have been using PopOS for a while now (came installed with my S76 Lemp10), but now looking for a new distro (I want to try Linux Mint). I am looking for the easiest way to set up the new distro with most of my current applications installed....
I haven’t tried it yet so anyone tell me if there are serious problems with it, but you can have a separate partition mounted at /home with your home folder so you can keep all your files and config files between distros
I just finished my perfect st build after switching from kitty. So I’m not really interested in getting something even more bloated then what I used to use.
At least they aren’t going for the new user friendly marketing they were a few weeks back, as they have nothing that would of helped me as a new user a few years ago
If all the seemingly pointless discussions about which distro is better comes from attachment to a spesific distro and if a distro is just a way to interract with linux than all the discussion about witch distro is better etc. fundementally comes from a a place of love and appreciation for Linux as an OS....
I don’t exactly know why, but part of it could be that due to different open source licences they have to keep things separate, because the kernel is licenced under the GPL, and the Intel video libraries probably aren’t.
Another reason could be simply not wanting bloat, but with everything a standard kernel does come with I guess probably not
Been wanting to put Linux on my Surface Pro 7, but when i tried it with Ubuntu, it didn’t work as well as I’d like. I used the Surface driver kernel, but Ubuntu wasn’t really good with touch. It couldn’t give a pop up keyboard (only showed up when logging into my account, but never beyond that). Sometimes it wouldn’t...
Bluetooth audio is my least favorite part of using Linux and it seems like my coworkers agree. I hear a lot of praise for pipewire, but it doesn’t match what I experience. Does any system work well for anyone?...
For me on Arch and also, but a lot less frequent fedora I find that it works fine then every few months there’s an update that breaks it for a few days till it gets patched. But besides that it works fine for me. I use blueman in DWM BTW
