  • Arch btw...

  • If your standard for being an elitist is that people can be bothered saying/knowing their distro's name then the bar is on the floor and the criticism is worthless. I'm not talking about people who say to their non-linux using friends that they use arch because its simple and recognizable. I'm talking about linux users saying they use arch to other linux users who would know endevour or cachy.

    When you’re troubleshooting packages, or whatever, there’s no functional difference between saying “It’s Arch” and “It’s WhateverTheFuck OS (Arch-based)”

    This is just wrong. Its terrible etiquette to go on the arch forum and ask for help and not mention that you're on cachyOS? Arch forum etiquette expects users to mention if they used arch install.

    You think people go around telling other what distro they’re using. You are elitist. It’s just an OS, bro.

    You're trolling, no one can be this dumb. We're in a community dedicated to an OS talking about people have an OS as their hobby/interest and anyone thats been in this community for more than 5 mins would see that telling other people what distro you use is extremely common. You probably think im an eltist because i dont call this place reddit when someone asks what im browsing.

  • I also play with no biters. I just dont see the point in having them enabled since i get past the rocket stag quickly and then end up working on a megabase for a few hundred hours and biters are just annoying.

  • Factorio: lazy bastard is not worth getting but there is no spoon is absolutely worth getting. People over estimate how much is required pre rocket and get bogged down in these over engineered designs. After finishing thre is no spoon you realise how little is actually required and its best to just go build something than try design the perfect system that lasts into the megabase era.

  • It should be viewed on youtube. The reasoning being: we are trying to get as many people to watch this as possible. Watching the video on youtube boosts it and shows it to more people at the moment its reached 75k people. Watching it on CCC.de is nothing but a few hundred nerds jerking themselves off about being decentralized.

    Most content should be watched decentralized where possible but for "messaging" posts we need them on mainstream platforms boosted by engagement as much as possible.

  • A lot of people genuinely find Fast Pair to be a big improvement over traditional Bluetooth pairing. So why is it such a bad idea for a company to design a protocol that solves the problem? I dont see that as wasting resources at all. Also Bluetooth pairing has had its own share of vulnerabilities over the years this issue isnt really unique to Fast Pair.

  • I Swapped to Linux to Play Milsim Games (And You Should Too)

  • The guy in the video is a mainly a Squad/Arma reforger player who is also dabbling in Bellum. He brought an extremely expensive PC to play these ultra realistic games at max graphics. However on linux max graphics will kill your performance because ray tracing is broken. He seems to be happy so I cant complain but I dont think it will last given my experience playing these games at a way more casual level and having a much higher tolerance for issues. But also the devs listen to his opinions so if he raises linux preformance issues they might actually be fixed which would be awesome.

  • Do you have to draw the line somewhere?

    Jump

  • Its not about other peoples opinions. Its about me looking at the way that I come to form my own opinions and wondering am i actually forming my opinion based on real logic.

    Based on the explanations in this thread Im going to say that no I wasnt. Even though it seems to be fine to draw a line I had no reasoning for why I was actually drawing the line.

  • The dems could move further left but these people would still find 1 irrelevant issue to purity test on. Its pointless to ever try and cater to them.

    Jump

  • I been playing milsims on linux for like 5 years and I honestly would not recommend it unless you're ok with running into issues, troubleshooting and just straight up being locked out of games. Other game Genres are fine, just milsims are finicky.

  • I Swapped to Linux to Play Milsim Games (And You Should Too)

  • I was really suprised to see Moidawg make a switching to linux video. Milsim games involve heavy ray tracing which has dogshit preformance on linux for both nvidia and amd. Popular Milsims (like squad) often break linux compatibility when they update and some dont even work at all. On top of that hes using cachyOS and recommending others do the same after only 7 days on linux. Its just a recipe for disaster all around. It was one of the few times I appreciated the person recommending dual booting.

  • CoPilot is a good feature and will be built into every major desktop OS

    Jump

  • I agree that phone operating systems are way to locked down and hostile to user privacy. I wasnt holding them up as an example of what we should strive to replicate. I was just pointing out that I find the assistant feature on phones to be useful with how it can handle natural language query and preform different actions and I've heard many people say the same thing. With linux yeah we have enough choice where there will always be non AI distros but I think once the tools become good enough they will get adopted by ubuntu, fedora, mint etc. A tool like https://github.com/qwersyk/Newelle could one day be shipped with ubuntu and I think it would be good. Giving users a local first private AI that can help them do things would be a huge usability improvement in my opinion. Just the calendar event booking alone would sell me.

    I also agree with you on AI productivity, sometimes its better and sometimes its worse and sometimes its catastrophically wrong. I'm mainly trying to make the argument that Copilot(and other AI assistant implementations) are a good feature/workflow for the users. I accept that their current state is unpolished and copilot is marketed to do way more than it can do. But I think its core concept is solid and the features are being built out and they will get to a point where its commonplace and in every major desktop. I've been following people who are using AI on their linux systems directly linked up to the terminal and it looks useful to be able to say "book and event on x day doing x" or "send John and email saying X" or "what was that file I downloaded yesterday". These kind of actions currently work with Claude + tools but unreliably at the moment and the safety aspect is yet to be solved.

    I'm sure someone will read this and say "but you could just send that email with a single command" but a normal user isnt going to send an email by typing in like thunderbird -s -t test@google.com -bcc mydad@google.com -m "hello" for sending an email but an AI can easily turn a natural language request into this command. So from the normal user perspective they go from having to open up a gui and enter out all the fields to pressing a button and typing out what they want or even saying what they want into a mic.

  • I think its fine to have by default but issue is that when people run into critical problems its not easy to restore from the back up. Currently if you cook your system you need to put a live USB in and then run timeshift and restore.

    I would consider it to be an easy to use backup tool if the timeshift backups are in the grub menu to be booted into if there is any issues with the main install. But I dont know if this is possible or not.

  • Arch btw...

  • If I’m talking with someone that only knows a few distro names saying you use arch gets what you are using across without having to explain what EndevourOS is.

    Yes I can agree with someone doing this and I wouldnt find that cringe.

  • Arch btw...

    Jump

  • Its not being elitist. I dont consider arch to be hard to install or maintain or anything. Its just cringe that people want to tell people that they use arch when they dont use arch. It means they are ashamed of the distro they run.

    If you want to go around telling people you use arch btw while on mint themed like arch thats fine but its not elitist to find that behavior cringe.

  • Arch btw...

    Jump

  • No I dont use arch and I've never claimed I use arch. I just point out that if you dont use arch its cringe to tell people you run arch. Thats just common sense I thought but there are many non arch users that are feeling attacked by me pointing that out.

  • Yes my phone does run samsungOS but it also runs the android kernel. We generalize when we say "android" the same as we generalize when we call all linux distros "linux"
