Smells like they might be preparing to make their own portable console running Android.

It was a kde update centre which is installed by default and suggests updates when they’re available. But zypper was also failing.

Several months ago I installed Tumbleweed on a VM just for kicks and giggles. A week later it refused to install updates at all due to some weird conflict, even though the system was vanilla to the goddamn wallpaper. In a week I try upgrading and magically the conflict is gone. I’ll be honest, this was my only experience with Tumbleweed and it managed to have its update system broken in the meantime. I’ve never had anything close to this on Debian Unstable lol.

Not hating on Tumbleweed, on the contrary - I have been testing it for quite a while to see if it’s as good as they say. But it doesn’t look like a middle ground between Arch and Debian. At least in my short experience.

I am more than sure that Linus wrote the original message as he would normally do, and then made it clean and pretty with an AI. Sometimes I resort to this option too.

I compare it to qip or similar with voice calling support about 10 years ago. But still, Slack loses to pretty much anything on the market regarding performance, be that Element, Telegram, Skype or even Discord. It literally battles with biggest IDEs lol

Slack is one of those apps which lags in a week on any hardware, it might be better than web version but it still sucks ass compared to removeding ICQ clients. Source: using it in the company I work for, for about 7 years already.

GPU-removeding-accelerated terminal emulator. Damn, what an age to live in.

Ah removed here we go again

I’d personally at least give them a chance. Defederating is a pretty easy process and can be performed at any point in time. At least some Threads users may as well get to know about Lemmy and switch to it.

Upd: yes I do understand many people don’t trust Meta and neither do I. But I also understand lots and lots of users here are using anonymous accounts, and federation information is already public to begin with. Combining the fact that Fediverse may gain more than it may lose, including more users, original content, recognition and etc, I generally think it’s worth the risk. I am generally content with any decision, just sharing my two pennies of thought.

As a former Arch/Debian enjoyer on all my rigs in between 2012-2017, I can say several things but they might be outdated as of now. I haven’t rechecked it so here goes the list of things at that age:

• Anything remotely related to Nvidia, especially if you had switchable laptop graphics. Running games was a nightmare and a coin flip. Sometimes you can get games to work, but you got an awful screen tearing even in OS, sometimes it’s vice versa.

• PulseAudio was problematic. Sometimes booting the pc up resulted into missing audio output or input, or both. Sometimes, under heavy load, lots of audio was crackling until PulseAudio server was rebooted. Rebooting PulseAudio required restarting many apps so they even produce sound.

• Drove away for like 2 months, came back to dead Arch install after updating it. Switched to Debian cause I realized I value stability over newer stuff. Until I bought newer hardware which just didn’t work at all, can’t recall what that was to be honest.

• At least during 2012-2015-ish, any browser scrolling was jittery. Like, any. I heard it’s fixed right now but every time I used to boot Windows, it was completely different web experience.

• As soon as I started using laptops, I noticed that my battery was draining like 2-3 times as fast. Shouldn’t be an issue nowadays I hope.

• Printing was hell of a nightmare. Especially when I tried bringing my laptop to the office printer.

• Probably also related to Nvidia, but still: connecting external monitors never yielded out-of-the-box experience I expected to see. Nothing used proper resolution, scaling or refresh rates. Lots of things required manual configuration every time.

• Office software in general. Thank god most people switched to web alternatives right now.

• Back in 2012-ish years, Flash was still common and it generally refused to work in many distros. Especially with Nvidia graphics.

There are plenty more reasons I decided to ditch Linux on my workstations and the ones above are just “honorable mentions”. The biggest thing I found myself doing is tinkering with my setup much more than doing actual work.

So currently I just use a Windows laptop and WSL when I need local Linux. And of course I monitor and configure hundreds of Linux machines at work. I also have a Macbook Pro 16 mainly for iOS apps debugging and watching movies in bed.

I can say I’m currently neutral to Linux, Mac and Windows these days. They have their own use cases for me and they all allow me to reach my goals in their own way. Just getting best of each world, I guess?

The removed is this title lol

Well, untested snapshots/backups are just as good as no snapshots/backups. Same applies to snapshots without restoration plan. So I would urge you to try testing it just in case.
