narc0tic_bird, to linux in Canonical's Steam Snap is Causing Headaches for Valve

I don’t even want to hate on Snap, I just think Flatpak is probably superior in almost every way and it’s probably not great that there are three competing formats for “applications with dependencies included”. It was supposed to be “package your app to this format, dear developer, so everyone can use it no matter the distro they use”, now it’s a bit more complicated. Frustrating, as this means developers without that many resources will only offer some formats and whichever you (or your distro) prefers might not be available.

I know that you can get every format to work on every distro (AppImages are just single binaries you can execute), but each has their own first class citizen.

By the way, the unofficial Steam Flatpak has been working well for me under Fedora 39 KDE Spin, but an official one would be great to have.

narc0tic_bird, to linux in X11 tiling WMs

Maybe for you. Kernel 6.6, Nvidia driver 545 (also tried 535), RTX 3080, GNOME or KDE Plasma, two WQHD 165 Hz monitors. Got flickers in certain applications (for example Steam or some Electron apps), apparently related to how long they need to draw.

Along with Baldur’s Gate Vulkan API halving FPS compared to Windows/AMD on Linux, or getting black models in DX11 (DXVK), certain games straight up flickering or showing other glitches.

YMMV of course, but I find it hard to believe people have literally zero issues unless they have a very limited use case for their system.

I switched to AMD for Linux and while it’s not perfect either, it’s so much better.

narc0tic_bird, to linux in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS To Get 12 Years of Updates

Their long-term support variant (called LTSC) is supported until 2032.

narc0tic_bird, to privacy in best privacy security based email client that supports third part apps ?

You need to provide more context in order get a proper answer.

narc0tic_bird, to lemmyshitpost in Happy Same Year!

Reminiscent of Intel’s 14nm+++ process.

narc0tic_bird, to linux in New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux?

Some .deb packages actually include their repository and they can then be updated via the package manager. An example for this is the Vivaldi .deb.

narc0tic_bird, to programmer_humor in This is what being a Redditor does to your life

This. Instead of making commits time-based (for example once per hour or once per day), make them purpose-based (say, add a database migration in one commit, and change the color of a button in another one). This also makes it easy to cherry-pick or otherwise backport specific changes to different program versions gor example.

narc0tic_bird, to piracy in Me vs my ISP

Here in Germany I get a “real” (non-shared) IPv4 address and a /48 IPv6 subnet I think. With Telekom at least. Vodafone is another story. I think the user must be able to use their own router because of some EU law.

narc0tic_bird, to selfhosted in File size preference for Radarr?

Serviceable, but still not great quality most of the time.

narc0tic_bird, to linux in Can anyone share their experience with Asahi as a Daily Driver?

If you find that macOS and the software for it lead to good productivity, I’d advise against ditching it solely for having to allow unsigned applications to run. It’s a few clicks once per app.

I didn’t use Asahi myself. I’d imagine it works for quite a few people, but I personally wouldn’t use it as a daily driver, because the community support is much smaller compared to popular distributions. I’d get a non-Apple computer for using Linux. You could just try it out though, obviously.

narc0tic_bird, to piracy in RARBG like 4K rips, any group making similar sized movies?

They were HEVC irrc, but 5 GB for 1.5 hours will hurt the quality quite a lot.

narc0tic_bird, to privacy in Apple will require court order to give push notification data to law enforcement

I mean they can’t exactly ignore the law, can they?

I’m not sure how newsworthy this whole topic is, but apparently it sets some people off, so it generates clicks if nothing else.

narc0tic_bird, to piracy in Another reason for piracy.

Music purchased from the iTunes Store is DRM free though. I think they actually upgraded purchases made prior to this change to DRM free versions (called iTunes Plus or something).

narc0tic_bird, to privacy in Predirect: A manifest v3 web extension with minimal permissions to automatically redirect popular sites to privacy friendly frontends

No. Yes. Probably not for most use cases.

narc0tic_bird, to linuxmemes in Linus does not fuck around

Good point, didn’t even realize this was from 2012.
