Wayland on Gnome 42 worked well enough for me, I definitely think the newer versions have made good improvements to Gnome itself, it just feels way more polished. The last 5 Gnome releases have so many improvements and are just way more polished. Some I can think of are the files refresh, quick settings redesign, new activities indicator (which would be especially useful with PopOS’s tiling plugin) and that’s just what I can think of between 42 and 45, when I stopped using it, I’m sure 46 and 47 have more. 48 will also soon be releasing with triple buffering support, which I love on laptops.

It should lol. I’m not the biggest fan of Gnome but the newer versions have made so many improvements, I don’t think I could stand using 42.9.

He only previously left the kernel though, right? He didn’t imply that he would be leaving Asahi, unless I missed something.

I haven’t used them, but Discourse seems to offer RSS feeds. The NixOS Discourse gets most news worth hearing posted.

I would probably follow the daily or weekly top topics and the announcements topic.

PopOS is in a rough state. The stable ISO is using absurdly an absurdly outdated desktop, and the beta using COSMIC desktop. I personally love COSMIC, but it is far from stable, so I would not recommend it to most users.

CachyOS is a great distro. The performance gains from its changes won’t be huge, but the people acting like its nonexistent are silly. They also make many upcoming performance improving features like NTSYNC available early in their default kernel.

I definitely wouldn’t go Debian or Mint for gaming personally. I don’t like stable distros with such slow release schedules for gaming, mainly because of stuff like the prior mentioned NTSYNC. You don’t get those new features for a long time.

I saw people recommending Bazzite, which is a distros I highly recommend. The only issue I have with Bazzite is that installing kernel modules they don’t ship is pretty much unsupported and requires a lot of jumping through hoops. Most people won’t need this, but it matters from some use cases like if you need steering wheel drivers.

I’ve been using vesktop for a while an had never heard of Shelter before

It is developed by ex-members of the old Cumcord Team, under uwu.network. - Shelter

Interesting

didn’t the same exact shit happen with the 4090?

Benevolent dictator for life, but honestly your interpretation gets the same message across.

Supporting Republicans (probably because they’re porn bans drive VPN purchases), adding AI features and a crypto wallet while their drive still lacks basic features, and some other smaller stiff like their shitty article about Deepseak.

Its not antithetical to the Foss philosophy. Thus happens because Linus is a trusted figure, something he’s absolutely earned. He didn’t just buy control of some product, or get promoted to this position by a company. Many great open source projects have a BDFL. If people lose their trust in the projects BDFL, they fork the project.

Also, the kernel is really just one part of Linux. Distros include a whole bunch of software they choose to deliver a full OS (hence the Gnu+Linux people). Linus doesn’t have control over the OS as a whole, just the kernel.

Edit: Just finished reading the chain, what do you mean the dude did a 180? He expressed frustration that Linux only criticized him, further criticized the issues with the kernel development process, and said he was giving up being part of the kernel.

I really really hope so. Kendrick is one of very few artists that I respect that are also big enough to be in the Super Bowl. He at least has a couple songs that mention Trump, maybe he’ll perform one.

any particular reason you chose emby over jellyfin?

Yeah, a middleman you get to choose. That’s a huge improvement. There are plenty of trustworthy VPN providers.

It is

Hopefully I can find the molex cables that came with my PSU, I know I have them somewhere.

Thanks for the tip about grounding, was not aware of that. I’ll either be getting a second PSU or upgrading to one of those Super Flower ones, depending on how the costs work out. I just remembered my GPU doesn’t need a power cable, so that should open up even more ports.

Thanks for all the advice!

I was asking just about power, but those bays will come in handy as I haven’t been able to get a new case yet, thanks for sharing!

A second power supply does currently seem like the best option. In my research I found Super Flower’s modular power supplies, which can apparently power a ton of drives

For the molex to SATA splitters, did you need to get one specifically wired for your PSU?

GTK 4 was released in 2020, they also dropped the plus from the name in 2019. GTK 4 is a big update and would be a pretty massive amount of work to switch to. I don’t know when, if ever, XFCE will switch to it.

GTK 4 released 9 years after GTK 3, so it’ll be quite some time before GTK 5. If Wayland doesn’t have better accessibility than X11 at that point it’d be time to give up on it as a project, and maybe desktop Linux as a whole.

Hey, thanks to your suggestion I got 8 SAS drives and a PCI-e SAS expansion card, but I’ve realized there’s something I didn’t really consider. How are you powering your drives? After my upgrade, my server will contain 12 drives, which my PSU unfortunately does not provide enough ports for. Is simply upgrading it the best option in your opinion?

Same here tbh. I havea university google suite account and I’ve never noticed it there. I also use Google messages, and there was a button for it by default, but it was easily disabled.
