“Millionaire hit with $20 antitrust fine in Spain”

I really, really don’t like the “games as a service” thing Microsoft is trying to shove into the industry. Just watch, it will pan out exactly like the streaming services. Once the golden years (equivalent of OG Netflix) of “burn money by throwing in more games than we can afford” are over, we will gradually see fragmentation, price hikes, cost-cutting, etc.

Fuck Microsoft.

I know I’m preaching to the choir, but whatever.

Suicide linux

So much talk, nothing to back it up. Blatant PR move.

Bold of you to assume anyone on here will be able to claim social security before it goes kaput

Haha, now I feel dumb needing the joke explained to me

I actually want to try a LFS install, mostly to gain a deeper understanding of how Linux works. To anyone who’s done an LFS install: good idea or waste of time?

Gentoo is the final boss of Linux installs. (Linux From Scratch is the raid boss)

I installed it last year. After watching it compile for half an hour, I decided that a source-based distro was something I have no interest in daily-driving.

There are legitimate criticisms of Manjaro, and these days there are better options like Archinstall or EndeavorOS, but yeah it’s mostly just become a popular distro to shit on.

Canonical deserves way more hate than the Manjaro devs tbh.

Mostly the admins. They’ve forgotten to renew their SSL certs multiple times, causing various issues, and they introduced a bug that briefly DDOSed the entire AUR.

The distro itself seems fine. Although, I don’t see why you wouldn’t just use Arch with Archinstall or EndeavorOS if you really want that GUI installer. Both are much better managed imo.

I understand what you mean, but I believe Reddit themselves confirmed the breach. If Reddit didn’t pay up, then the data has been/is being auctioned off on the dark web.

Oh no!

Anyways …

If you can set up and maintain an Arch installation, you can probably figure out Gentoo. It wasn’t too bad when I did it. It’s just not very convenient. in order to properly optimize, you have to set your use flags for each package. Not only that, but packages are compiled from source, rather than installed as pre-compiled binaries. So basically, you have to configure each package and updates take much longer.

In terms of optimization, Gentoo is the best you’re gonna get, but the word “convenience” makes me hesitant to recommend it to you.

Arch is minimal, and has many resources/guides on battery optimization (Especially for ThinkPads), but if you’d like to learn something else, Void is the way to go.

If you’re looking for a tiling WM, I can wholeheartedly recommend bspwm. Lots of control and customization, but pretty easy to configure when you understand it. Just know, it might be a hard change going from stacking to tiling.

Great explanation. The days of the “web 2.0” fantasy dream are officially over, investors needed their money back at a certain point and that point is now.

Hey, at least we have the option to fix things. My poor Windows friends end up reinstalling multiple times a year due to unfixable issues and bugs.

Yes. I don’t give a shit if it’s immoral.

Wow, it’s confirmed. Honestly so grateful they had an immediate and painless death. Imagine sitting in complete darkness for 4 days waiting to suffocate.
