does the desktop environment add the 1px border? I can’t remember which ones I used that had that but snapping windows to full or to the split regions or even manually to each other would leave a gap until I found a really obscure setting for the border gap.

I’ve been seeing a lot of people pushing catchyos lately. Has anyone actually tested if these optimizations actually offer any real world benefit?

I can’t even get rgb control on a 7800xt. It has a teal/purple/off switch though so I can go dark mode and just be sad about my permanently rainbow ram that works in openrgb in windows but not linux.

The first point of bazzite and other atomic/immutable distros is to prevent such breakages. updates aren’t applied over your existing installed packages, the base read only part is updated and your layered packages come after if you even have any. A kid’s computer won’t need it though. Most of my installed software is flatpak, appimage, or brew. I have maybe 3 packages installed via rpm-ostree. If I ever need anything not possible this way it’s not a job for my gaming pc.

I have to remember to check this out. its on my reminders in my self host calendar but its been offline fpr quite some time after moving.

because nobody is updating them and the one person that did before was seemingly the only user. Nobody could find any evidence of it being used. When was the last time you ever heard about fieldbus?

the article mentions support for a another interface is also being added, for lab equipment that actually does still get used.

this is so supremely cursed

I miss effort free gaming on windows too. It looks like they laid off everyone in that department and put everything in to AI and subscription begging which has made it a miserable experience lately. I had to click deceptively placed no buttons like 30 times just to get to the desktop so I could update the damned mobo rgb controller to detect and turn off the lights

it’s this. muh goadd. Its like going back to the days before blender was good and trying lightwave because your friend is convinced it was better than maya or 3ds max, and making thay whole experience four times worse. I guess every now and then you run in to a software so inconceivably counterintuitive that no tutorial can help you produce meaningful work. meanwhile I haven’t followed any tutorials apart from those for 2000’s era modellers meant for games and movies and I’ve been able to make what I need fairly easily in f360 or onshape.

i know this but i still think of the other drm first, every time

thanks. I was trying to find this out but I’d constantly slip up and let it shrink.

its easy, less gross than ubuntu/canonical, if mint specific instructions aren’t available for something then ubuntu or debian instructions will generally work without much adaptation if any, etc.

fuck that really sucks

Bazzite for my gaming pc, steam deck, and family members. It just works and they cant fuck it up. Even brother laser printers official drivers installed for my mom’s comp. Gotta check the details of that cups exploit though. My gamig pc is also the fallback pc I expect to always have working and for servicing any others if problems come up.

Arch or arch based, except manjaro which has screwed me over too many times, for having easy access to pretty much any software that can run on linux, or just stuff that requires too many hoops to jump through to get working on atomic distros like bazzite.

Dietpi on my SBCs like the ones running klipper for my 3d printers

Debian for my servers, homeassistant etc, but I’m planning on checking out coreos.

Also alpine just because.

instant pot, air fryer pot lid, deep fryer for things air fryer can’t do. Everything else has linux or is controlled from a linux server.

yes this needs details.

Oh I didn’t know about this. Is there an easy way to check if the current setup has proprietary firmware in use?

If there’s nothing wrong beyond the hideous consmetic damage sure.

Some distros have some very specific images like this one that I would install if I had the same computer:

That’s too bad. From what I can find online there are a bunch that have in kernel drivers but I can’t personally vouch for any of them. I haven’t seen any reports of linux compatible usb bt dongles above 5.0 so far but that might just be Google’s fault for making internet searching garbage.

what kind of computer? does it have wifi already? Its not usb but the ones I always get are the intel wifi+bt units. I bought a few wifi6e + bt5.2 recently each in different form factor for my laptop, desktop, and steam deck. apart from the deck which is soldered on and I don’t have time for yet, the pcie and m.2 wifi and bt combo cards work out of the box on bazzite.

If its a laptop or desktop that has antenna on the motherboard io panel then it probably has an m.2 card that can be swapped for a bt integrated one and you could jump to wifi 6e at the same time. or wait for wifi7 and whatever bt version will exist then I guess.
