Debian testing is insanely robust. I am currently not running it (testing) because I use it for work, but my past experience has been excellent.

Man. That is a fair and well thought over response.
I appreciate this! Articles like this is what I’m on lemmy for!
Because calling your post a response would not do it justice enough. An article indeed.
♥️
D’aww you guys…
Group hug!
Yeah, they would probably let you pay a small fee per month for this feature.
The biggest bonus to the democratic world stems from just one individual. And the rest of the world believing in his idea.
So never say that just you cannot make a difference in this world.
Because you can!
This is just a sales pitch. We wants featuress in our pocketsess.
Prepare for the Nvidia card to be a pain in the ass, if so, maybe running the official driver on a LTS version of Ubuntu is the best option here.
And the CPU + RAM upgrade.
Buying a modern cheap low end card might give you the same or better framerate thatn this legacy card.
And steer away from Nvidia.
…so now we are discussing not speed again but ease of use.
Not everything with an R in it is faster than C. Read up about it. Everyone says so.
I’m out.
while C has to fiddle with void* and function pointer to get similar flexibility, which are much harder to optimize, as none of the type information is there.
I thought we were discussing speed, not ease of use?
Thank you for sharing your linux journey!
I’ve been toying around with linux since the old famous slackware distro!
I have used Windows professionally, later switched to Mac, but my desktop (my main driver) has been linux for a long time.
I run it the way I am most productive with it (yes, Gnome, don’t hate me, but liked xfce before that).
I like the way everything is customizable, light weight and… free.
Aside from that I think C is more performant than C++ (indeed when you use the bells and whistles that C++ offers), you are comparing the libraries with each other.
The fact that the implementation of one random std::Sort
is faster than the implementation of qsort()
is comparing libraries, not the languages. You are comparing the algorithm of the Rust Sort with quicksort (which is obviously the qsort
you are referring to.
I am certain there are sort implementations in C which outperform Rust.
Having said that, I immensely enjoy Rust because it forces me to think about the error handling and it does not give me the quirks of C/C++ (index out of bounds, memory corruption).
Great alternative! Thanks!
Exactly for that reason I have created a second account on lemm.ee.
There is even a nice Python script to propagate your subscriptions and block lists to one or more other accounts.

Not to pretend I know it all, but have actively been using Linux on desktops and normal laptops for years now and I do have to agree.
Those old Macs are actually quite hard to get working right (fans, touchpad etc).
It is not impossible, but it takes quite an investment.
But Macs aside, nowadays a lot of desktops ánd laptops install flawlessly though.
