Yes but why now exactly? The only reason I see is GitHub but it’s not their competitor at all.

Why are they focusing on privacy now though? It’s always been private.

Way to go, Smith!

The “right to preserve fertility” is kind of a weird and wrong reason here but the intention and the implementation are great so still good enough. Letting minors make decisions like that is crazy and stupid. I’d say the legal age of adulthood (18 in most countries) is not big enough nowadays for this particular kind of decisions but it’s a completely different story.

Nothing can be considered a lie without proof which you guys most likely don’t have.

I think Windows 10 going EOL is a good opportunity for Linux. People know how objectively bad Windows 11 is and how intrusive Microsoft ads can be.

I’m all in for terminal games. GUI games are bloat.

It’s not really complicated. It’s called “pushing not ready software to production”.

What’s the point of removing NVENC support for Kepler? Is there a CVE in old drivers or something?

Hmm it could’ve been that. But also I saw a research paper and Intel won in almost every category there too.

I installed Debian at least 3 times and don’t remember ever seeing that message.

How can a new user know that? Same with the domain name that Debian installer asks you to enter.

The tests I saw reported significantly higher performance on Intel. I’m really bad at searching stuff ngl. But that means Intel has pretty much 0 benefits nowadays so AMD is simply better for regular users and gamers.

Well I personally think having to read documentation ,manually set up sudoers and add repos is worse for the first impression than installing a distro that mostly just works.

Debian is not a beginner distro. It requires some knowledge and advanced setup. Mint is the default for new users nowadays.

SteamOS for PC is long outdated and similar distros are made specifically for handheld hardware. Go for a general desktop or gaming distro instead.

As I said, only in high end. I’m talking about i9s here and whatever the new name is. AMD just doesn’t keep up. Though it could already change. I’m not so sure.

I saw some Reddit posts claiming AMD being not optimized for Linux particularly for arch related distros (I use EndeavourOS)

This is literally the other way around.

But in general it depends on the budget. Both Intel and AMD work perfectly on Linux. It’s more about the CPUs themselves. AMD is better in the budget category because of much more capable iGPUs and performance/price ratio but Intel is better in high end because of simply better technological advancement (as long as you can keep the chip cooler than 90°C).

But if it keeps working for a long time, like 6+ years, then I don’t mind investing.

I wouldn’t be so optimistic about modern laptops, especially ones with dedicated GPUs. They don’t live for more than 2-3 years without repairs.

That said, no idea why you would have this type of issue. Do you have BTRFS? With Timeshift? If so, you should have the option to boot into an earlier version, as it was before the update.

Other file systems have backups working perfectly fine.

I think that design is viable if it’s overhauled a lot. I’d make everything bigger, the color scheme more modern, the text actually visible and put all 3 window controls in one shape (like the title). Though it may not be possible without implementing heavyweight WM components.

I think I’m glad it never released. Just look at those window control buttons.
