Why will it be better in just a couple months?

Explicit sync. It’ll fix most of the issues with Wayland on Nvidia CPUs. Wayland landed support for it in April, and Nvidia recently released a beta driver that supports it. I think every graphics driver will implement explicit sync eventually, since it’s a lot better than implicit sync.

Some great information about why it’s important here: https://zamundaaa.github.io/wayland/2024/04/05/explicit-sync.html

It’s an immutable/atomic version of Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/atomic-desktops/silverblue/

My understanding is that the core system is immutable (read-only) and major upgrades essentially just swap out that whole layer. Updates are atomic, meaning the entire thing either succeeds or fails and you can never end up with a broken half-updated system. UI apps all run using Flatpak.

I’ve never tried it though!

This is the case with a lot of apps that follow SemVer, even though it’s not an official part of the spec. It’s not specific to Rust.

The other common thing I see is that if it’s been at 0.x for a long time, the minor version number eventually gets “promoted” to a major version number once the app is stable. For example, React went from 0.14.x to 15.0.0.

The “automatically includes a hashtag with new posts” link goes to the wrong PR.

Are there guides for this in Fedora and Debian?

Thanks for the link :)

NVIDIA is likely to be stable on Wayland next month.

Do you have a source for that?

Isn’t there some way to force Electron to use Wayland?

“ButterFS” is one of the accepted pronunciations though.

I remember them being exactly the dame many years ago

This is one of the reason I like Debian. They don’t change stuff unless there’s a good reason to. Network configuration on my Debian servers is in /etc/network/interfaces in mostly the same format it was in 20 years ago (the only difference today is that I’m dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 everywhere).

The default software was one of the main reasons KDE was created. The original creator didn’t like that every app on their system seemed to use a different UI toolkit, and wanted a consistent appearance across everything.

when I switch back to windows after using Linux/Mac then it feels like someone fixed the focus and de-blurred everything.

I haven’t used desktop Linux in a while, but I feel the same about MacOS font smoothing. It’s way too blurry. I’m not sure why people like it.

still do the scripting in Bash for portability reasons,

For what it’s worth, Debian and most of its derivatives use dash (a Linux port of ash) instead of bash for /bin/sh. It’s ~4x faster and uses much less RAM than Bash. Usually the only scripts that use Bash are scripts that aren’t POSIX compliant or that use Bash-specific features.

Usually I end up moving back to Windows because of font rendering. I far prefer Windows cleartype font rendering on 2160p desktop screens

I’m surprised this is still an issue. I remember it being an issue when I used desktop Linux 15 years ago. At the time, Linux devs didn’t want to risk accidently infringing on Microsoft’s ClearType patents, so the text smoothing techniques had to be completely different.

Those patents all expired in 2018.

don’t know if I can run & debug .net 8 applications on a linux machine

The .NET SDK is cross-platform. Try install it then run dotnet run in the same directory as your project file (.csproj).

Most .NET APIs are cross-platform, but there’s a few that still only work on Windows, and it’s also possible to write code that only works on Windows, like using P/Invoke to call a Win32 API.

I remember running FL Studio using WINE 15 years ago and it worked fine.

ICANN doesn’t run country code TLDs. I bought it through an aftermarket domain sale site (like Sedo).

I’ve actually got three of them. d.sb, d.sv and d.ls.

d.sb was around $4000 if I remember correctly.

I use Debian but still use the Arch wiki quite often. It’s a great resource. I improve Debian’s wiki where I can (eg I wrote a few sections on this page: https://wiki.debian.org/NFSServerSetup) but it’s just not the same.

the entire package system removeds itself

Usually just the one package fails, unless you have other packages that have a dependency on it. I agree that it’s annoying though.
