That should be in the FAQ

I'm not sure the UI/UX is anyhow related to kernel development.

I3/Sway/Hyprland/other WMs are already much more superior to anything that can be achieved in Win/Mac desktops in terms of flow and performance. Only polishing is needed. Other desktop options like Gnome/KDE are fine and more lightweight desktops are okay too. They need polishing too, but already great.

As an unhappy user impacted by this and previous change(s) related to overclocking on RDNA3 I have highlighted the ongoing process.

JSDoc: am I joke to you?

I wish they had 10 inch option. Something like GPD Win Max 2, but without gaming features

sway - stable and productive. Hyprland - beautiful, but performance is worse. i3 - same as sway, but sometimes better for legacy X11 stuff or applications that are still buggy at Wayland

Well, Russian laws deteoriation towards the pro-government/oligarch interests is just de-jure confirmation of what was de-facto for a long time.

The huge amount of grind is what made it un-fun for me.

Typical loop in this case:

  • Oh, M$ is so disgusting, I never gonna switch to the new platform!

In a few months/years

  • Well, my apps/hardware are not working, time to switch anyway. Not because it's not working anymore, but because the platform is mature and I actually like it.

Gentoo LET'S GO

Typical M$. Pushing half-baked and bugged products just to take a market share.

I would recommend EndeavorOS too, easy to install, sane config, nearly pure Arch.

Testing out Artix right now - I wanted to try out lightweight init system.

FPS itself is not as important as consistent and low frametime.

If frametime graph is pretty much flat the stuttering would be low and overall experience is nice, but if it's janky one would like to drop the game or decrease quality settings pretty fast.

Please give a try for btop - not Rust based, but pretty good and seem to be superior to btm.

M$. M$ never changes.

Still requires 3rd party account and separate launcher, am I right?

Not only package manager - init system, wiki, display manager, community support, package freshness vs stability also play their role. There are many other points that are important too.

It's easy to change display manager (except the case of keeping multiple of them to test out, if they are big and complex, like Gnome and KDE - there are conflicts). Some distros may have worse support for specific display managers, but I cannot say as my experience was relatively smooth for Debian, Manjaro, Arch, Endeavour and Artix. In Ubuntu I had some issues, but I could live with them for a time being because I couldn't change the workplace OS.

But for init system it's usually PITA. Many packages, including critical for system operation may have dependency on systemd, for example. In case of Artix Linux there are separate versions of packages for each init system that's supported, if package has dependency on the init system.

In fact it would help game development as much as "similar" approach helps the web grow the way you don't need to reinvent the wheel every time. Although you can.

Although it's generally good idea, you will have hardware/software issues in the future. As I remember there is LTSB out there and it was pretty solid, but in times I used it long ago, I already had a lot of issues that required hours to find a workaround.

Arch/EndeavourOS. Updates for the recent hardware come pretty fast and they are stable. Most of the time I use gamescope from Valve to get better latency.

Be careful not to replace bash with fish as some systems fail to work with new shell. I usually init fish/nu shells with other instruments, like alacritty and/or zellij

Just to add: some folders' files might need modifications in the new system, e.g. .config/

M$ Inferior Bash *

I want to share though. AMD RX 7xxx do not have overclocking options along with fan controls. I track news since January and they probably won't have this stuff implemented till the end of the year or even later. Other generations are pretty flawless.

Overclocking on Linux for this generation is "deprecated" and no new mechanisms are introduced yet, so better avoid this generation at least for now. You will be able to only control power limit for now.

Edit: Regarding CPUs - all the required patches are merged and there is only work on further optimization at the moment.

There are no C/D/... drives in Linux. Steam and Lutris create their own environment ("bottle", right?) for every game. I think by using Lutris you will get the most user friendly approach.

Error: 'o' is not found in 'S.O.L.I.D'

Dynamic languages are good for prototyping, especially if a lot of libraries available

By "weird" hardware you mean proprietary modules like fingerprint scanner, gyroscope and etc?

Just to add - gitui doesn't (yet) have the commit signing, so for commiting stuff you still have to use command line, but other features are pretty useful.

"You have no power here" 😉

NTFS is pretty outdated, btw
