Windows 11 takes up 64 gb? Seriously?

Quoting: FrawoAnd in the next thread we as Linux users are crying again for market share and more attention in general... how does that fit?

That's exactly it. You can't have the "Year of the linux desktop" and also complain about some noobie safeguards. No one is forcing them to use discover and I bet they were never going to anyways. Some just like to complain.

Wow, some of you actually complain about Linux becoming more user-friendly. How have you not outgrown this edginess? I was like that as a teenager. I cringe hard thinking back on that time. Maybe you should try something more obscure than linux eh? Have you heard about the anti-mainstream super edgy OpenBSD? No apt nor discover you need to worry about. And I guarantee that Linus won't even consider using that ever. How does that sound? :wink:

More time (if not much) to work on the software side of things, which is more important than the hardware IMHO, especially since it will be running linux and customers expect their games to just work.

Quoting: gradyvuckovicIt's easy to be disappointed by the first episode of this series and view it as a disaster.

I found it to be absolutely hilarious. I don't care about petty squabbles. No distro is perfect, linux is not perfect, but that is not why any of us use it. I also find it funny how the linux community as a whole seems to behave like a corporate PR department, thinking of this in terms of a PR disaster.
I for one am excited for the rest of this series. I had a blast watching the first one.

Quoting: ElectricPrismNot only is it a thing, it's a pretty damn good thing. It plays well at many resolutions.

This is all I need. Fancy graphics be damned, but I cannot play something without decent support for modern resolutions. I have since found my cds and I'm ripping them right now. This is probably a mistake, since I have wasted too many hours of my life with Roller Coaster Tycoon already :grin:

I forgot this is a thing. I believe I still have it on CD somewhere though my cd-rom drive has not been used in quite a while. Best be buying it again :D

Quoting: BielFPsFirefox and Eletron-based programs too. The fact devs still didn't prepare the software to detect if a Wayland session is in use for dynamically change this is one of the factors that I think why Wayland session needs to become the default session in the main popular distros (using GNOME/KDE).

Well Firefox was fine for me out of the box with Manjaro. I did install EndevourOS now and it really is blurry. For Firefox (and Thunderbird as well) there is an easy fix though: just put MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 in a file caleld .pam_environment in your home directory and restart firefox.
I agree though, the applications should really set that automatically. Can't be hard to implement either.

Quoting: BielFPsSince some popular software like browsers still require some tweaks to use native wayland, this command can help you to identify it. Also make sure to change pulseaudio to pipewire for better compatibility.

Some browsers meaning almost pretty much all of them, or at least all chromium-based ones (which is a lot).
If you use fractional scaling chromium-based browsers become super blurry. You can set some options via terminal to use ozone to get around that, but then you get other issues. But hey, at least HiDPI support is slightly better on wayland :grin:
