Dunno why this is being down voted, obviously they'll make their own fork and it'll likely be no different than the regular kernel and they'll just be constantly rebasing

Meh, I'll be honest and say that I'm not impressed by chrome in modern day. While I hate Microsoft, edge is a nicer browser to use than chrome, and that's saying something

An education focused Ubuntu distro, weird. Also getting into Linux because it's free is a great reason to get into Linux, if you get comfortable with it now it can help you in many STEM careers in addition to your own needs and proposes.
You mean Web3? Yeah Web3 is going to do jack shit to solve this, if anything it'll make it worse
Are you using snaps? Snaps are notorious for God awful performance.
Wine is available for Mac, and Apple has started work on their game toolkit which was shown to run cyberpunk (albeit not well)
So yeah, but you're probably better off just dual booting asahi tbh.
Whenever you have applications were implementations are plentiful the only real differentiation you can do without creating a different user experience is the technologies used to develop it. The importance of which in people's perspective is several things, mostly supporting technologies they like and want to see grow and possibly being skilled in the underlying technologies to actually contribute back.
Certain technologies are also just hot garbage, I swear to God if I have to install another electron app for some messaging platform I will shit myself.

Gaming laptops usually have atrocious battery life, especially ones with Intel i9s and comparatively weak GPUs. Means they put the whole budget of the laptop into the CPU and nothing else.
The hatred has nothing to do with the products but the lack of participation in open standards like OpenGL or Vulkan.
Their products are incredibly well made (though I'd fuckin hope so given the pricing) and their software experience (barring the lack of good graphics API support) is quite nice.
Yakuake, I can't use anything other than a quake based terminal. Because of my work I need 24/7 quick access to a terminal, yakuake is just that
Tried this myself, performance differences are non existent. In fact I noticed more regressions on speedometer than improvements.
Don't bother, use Floorp instead.
I'm really surprised at how much people are ripping on Linux here at lemmy. It's completely justified, I agree that Linux still needs some polish in a few areas before it can REPLACE windows, but I would've figured lemmy to be a bit more... I dunno red pilled and biased towards Linux.
I daily Fedora for ALL my games pretty much, save for Metro Redux: Enhanced Edition and SteamVR titles. Games with anticheat that don't work on Linux? I don't play them anymore, if they don't wanna play ball that's fine.
I actually came to this community to actually ask about the state of Wayland on NVIDIA lol. I have a laptop that has hybrid AMD/NVIDIA graphics and I want to FULLY switch to Wayland but it NEEDS to be stable enough to not cause issues while I'm working.
Why is this getting down voted? It's a genuine ask for help :/
You're not using any NVIDIA hardware...? Hmm, nope, that's all hardware that runs under Mesa. Give it a shot, if it doesn't work, you can always switch back.
The big advantage is improved support for new features, like adaptive sync, multi monitor support, display scaling, etc. You'll notice, new features (mostly gaming related features) will just work better on Wayland. There will be a performance hit though.
I made the switch because it's just plain better, adaptive sync works (it never worked for me on X11), oh yeah and the night color actually works. Night color on KDE just does not work on X11, AMD or NVIDIA, least for me.
For all two people who genuinely use edge on Linux, it's still a more private experience than Windows. Regardless, more power to them
TL;DR, ddosing AUR multiple times, poorly maintained certificates, and a generally bad take on Arch that causes lots of problems for the uninitiated.
So THIS is why teams doesn't work for me on Firefox anymore, Jesus. Welp, I can spoof my user string
Just hold your breath silly
Nobody's requiring you to use Wayland currently, I mean realistically name a Wayland-only app (excluding the ones like remote desktop apps that are replacing X11 apps that don't work at all on Wayland), they don't exist. But with new technologies will always be growing pains, the X11 -> Wayland transition will still be another few years I imagine, I mean at this point we're really only waiting on NVIDIA 🫠. It's a painful process, but one that is only so painful because it's been put off for so long, if we put it off for any longer it would've just been even worse.
You need to enable it in Steam's settings, under Steam Play
Honestly, this needs to go away, there is never a scenario where Linux gamers only want to play some of their games. There should be instead some pop up window for non proton verified games instead of an obtuse setting.
ProtonDB is the first place I go before buying a game, most of the time games work, but there's a few occasions where I have to change some configurations.
I would consider teaching them about a CLI shell, like Fish or ZSH (through oh my zsh), whilst they're not usually going to have the luxury of a nice shell on a remote server but they will if they're on a desktop. A good shell makes the CLI soooooo much easier, and faster, to use. Work smarter not harder, install a shell other than bash.
I would also HIGHLY consider teaching them about desktop app software development on Linux, there's a surprising number of developers who don't know about the different ways you can distribute software on Linux:
Teaching them about this is definitely a must imho, there are so many OSS projects out there that insist on distributing their software via native system packages (without supporting most distros). They're also likely to run into it even if they're just in IT, the server market uses Snaps quite a bit.
Bless the Arch wiki and everyone who has contributed to it
Kinda, we're all a little confused here.
uBlock will stop websites from tracking you.
uBlock will not stop your browser from tracking you
Only office is what I use for school and it's excellent, otherwise the full MS suite is available in the browser.
Nah, it's because $400 for a GPU enclosure is insane, at that rate I can just get the mid-range GPU built in with the regular price of the laptop
They haven't brought it back by supporting x11 itself, I don't see how this will be much different.
Effort is better spent making Wayland the X11 replacement it's supposed to be.
Not bad, just ironic
Hopefully talking about it more will interest more people in the project and possibly interest more people in contributing
Interesting, what WINE compat layer are you using for Satisfactory then? Proton, Wine, Wine-GE?
I also like hearing good news about Linux. With how negative social media can be hearing some good news, especially about something I like is just a generally nice change of pace.
As long as the drive the swap is on is an SSD, yeah absolutely
Wayland "leaves blind users behind" due to its security oriented design. A protocol or portal of some kind is going to need to be created to solve this problem, but progress here is severely lacking.
I agree, endeavor doesn't do anything special with its packages to make it any more reliable. In fact it's really just Arch but with a DE setup out of the box
Who would've thunk that big, for profit, tech companies don't care about us :T
This, you should always default to your package manager for app installs. I believe it's available on their Ubuntu repos
There is a variety of remote desktop applications that support Wayland, Brodie talked about them in his video regarding Wayland's lack of network transparency. Wayland does not need network transparency to be able to support remote desktop.
