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.

A prosperity gospel church is still a church, unless you’re referring to WSL as the equivalent of “Linux”.

Linux Distro

Windows 11, macOS, and FreeBSD on the list

Wat

Charge cycles tend to improve as technology and processes improve. Other sodium ion batteries started out similarly limited in cycles and have since basically matched lithium ion.

Yeah Manjaro either needs to figure their shit out or everybody should stop using it.

It kind of makes it hard to trust this distro when they fuck up the most basic things so often and frequently.

Same. Loved her character.

Holy fuck what is wrong with their…everything?

I don’t love GNOME, but if you use it…whatever. Linux is all about choice and lack of lock-in.

If you want to compile CDE from the 1990s and use it as your DE…you do you honey boo boo.

[EDIT]

JFC apparent CDE is still around and had a stable release 2 months ago. Holy fucking case-in-point right there.
