Apparently KDE users are furries who are into dragons.

Yeah they seem to be making a big deal out of nothing.

The world is built around the idea that people follow the rules. If you plug in an uncertified device, you are breaking the law. It’s as simple as that.

You realize you could fucking plug ANYTHING into electrical systems now? How many people make Widowmaker cords for generators and back feed the fucking grid during outages? This is not some new problem.

If you’re found fucking around, you find out with a big ass fine/jail. That’s how it works.

The certification on the product shows that it’s safe to use in grid-tie. What the fuck are you on about? Are you just being intentionally an obtuse pain in the ass?

Something to bear in mind is that this is EXTREMELY slow. It’s not practical right now and may never be practical.

I use Debian on servers, because stable.

I use Fedora on desktops, because I game and I like having fixes for mesa, the kernel, and amdgpu for my latest gen AMD GPU. My laptop is for work, but it’s just easier having consistency.

I don’t hate X11, but I do think it’s holding us back, so I get the sentiment that many people have. It’s also important to note that it’s human nature to dig our heels in and resist change, so you have to keep your own biases in check.

Wayland is technically more modern and secure, which is important. That said, X11 is still needed and I don’t think we should discount it yet.

I’m curious what “non-normal” things you’re referring to. I’ve found that Wayland and xwayland do everything I need them to and I have a few things I’d consider abnormal.

Every major DE defaults to Wayland now, bruv. You can give up the X11 pitchfork. Even holdouts like Cinnamon have added experimental support.

If the PC is running Windows, the spying is worse. Linux is a good choice, though.

No problem homie. LMK if you have any more questions.

Oh. To be fair, the PulseAudio days started off REALLY shit and JACK/ALSA had the limitations of “locking” an audio device to a specific process/application, so it used to be much rougher.

Ever since pipewire came along, it’s been really solid.

Newer kernel and drivers for graphics cards. Fedora runs a more close to bleeding edge kernel, mesa, etc. whereas Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Servicing) builds, so they don’t “rock the boat” as much with things like newer kernels as frequently.

Mint’s Cinnamon Desktop Environment also only supports the older X11 display server (Wayland is experimental right now) whereas GNOME and KDE desktops on Fedora default to Wayland. This translates to more modern and efficient window rendering.

Basically:

Mint: “Just works. Don’t rock the boat. This will be stable into the heat death of the universe”

Fedora: “Maximum speed and features at reasonable stability”

If you’re using your computer for web browsing, document editing, etc., Mint is a great choice.

If you are doing a lot of gaming, I’d suggest Fedora with either GNOME or the KDE spin.

I don’t think they existed then.

The dark days of fucking with xorg.conf files and ndiswrapper to get WiFi working are things I’m glad no longer exist.

The joke is they can’t hear them because their audio broke. You’re overthinking it. Lol.

I stopped playing completely when they broke anti-cheat on Linux. I was already waning on the game and that sealed the deal for me.

FYI they dropped the EUV naming. The new 2027 Bolt is just the SUV version now without the distinction.

Have data to prove that? Because existing wind turbines hardly kill any birds. That’s oil lobby shit leaking through.
