The difference with Pop OS in particular is that they offer installation ISOs with the proprietary NVIDIA drivers preinstalled, meaning you don’t have to fuss with installing them at all.

The universe is trying to prevent me from doomscrolling this evening by filling my entire feed with cats.

I’m not complaining, mind you.

We did it Lemmy! We saved Palestine!

(/s, just clarifying because some people on here are mind-bogglingly fucking stupid.)

Oh, good, Warner Bros. is erasing more art that people slaved over from existence because its more financially convenient that way.

Am I having a stroke, or is this headline horrendously written?

Can’t wait for Doctor Who Season 1, not to be confused with Doctor Who Series 1, or Doctor Who Season 1.

GrapheneOS has been basically flawless for me, most of the time I forget I’m even using a custom rom. Using the Aurora Store, along with a few select apps in a work profile with sandboxed Google Play services goes a long way in terms of plugging the usability gap. I know there’s supposed to be issues with banks, but at least in my anecdotal experience, I’ve used accounts from 3 different banks and haven’t had any issues.

Have you ever considered going outside?

In my experience Arch is pretty unstable, though. I’ve never had an Arch installation that didnt break by the end of the month. Flatpaks allow me to use a stable base like Debian while having certain programs more up to date.

LibRedirect works for not only redirecting YouTube to Invidious (or Piped if you prefer) but also for alternative front ends for other services, like Nitter for Twitter.

Proprietary

I’ve actually had a pretty good experience with my NVIDIA card on GNOME Wayland, but KDE was unusable.

It has the brand recognition of being “the” Linux distro, even though it doesn’t deserve that title these days (if it ever did at all).

Didn’t even notice them until they were pointed out in another thread a few days ago, honestly they seem, at worst, harmless. I disagree with them ideologically in a lot of ways, but I don’t really think they’re actively harmful. It’s not as though they’re posting hate speech or anything like that.

Found a PDF of the complaint from another article, which says “since at least January 2023” on page 15, so, take that as you will.

Damn, I have one of these that I use a lot for work, it’s been pretty reliable so far, but this makes me think I should get something else to replace it…

Who would’ve thought that an incredibly dubious claim to “ownership” of a JPEG image would fall in value so dramatically?

“Bravephobes”

Maybe I’m just living under a rock but I hadn’t even heard of, let alone seen, Hexbear prior to this post and had to do a search to see what you were talking about. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
