People generally recommend Debian-based distributions because they tend to be more popular, have more applications designed first and foremost to work on them, and tend to have the most community support because they are more popular.

It’s true, we are za warudo.

This is also what I’d like to know, and I think the answer is no. I want to have NFS not wait indefinitely to reconnect, but when I reconnect and try going to the NFS share, have it auto-reconnect.

edit: This seemed to work for me, without waiting indefinitely, and with automatic reconnecting, as a command (since I don’t think bg is an fstab option, only a mount command option): sudo mount -o soft,timeo=10,bg serveripaddress:/server/path /client/path/

Linux users are often very passionate about the software they put on their computers, so they tend to argue about it. I think the customization and choices scares off a lot of beginners, I think the main reason is lack of compatibility with Windows software out of the box. People generally want to use software they are used to.

Yep, I consider it a failure of the build/dev pipeline.

I had a “Save As” issue in Firefox snap where it just wouldn’t be able to save pages, but since upgrading to either Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04 (can’t remember which version fixed it), that problem has gone away entirely.

I’ve been using snaps for a few years now and while they still could use some improvements, the snaps I’m currently using seem to be fairly indistinguishable from deb-based packaging thanks to bug fixes they have done over the years. I think the idea of containerized applications is a good one, I think it actually can be safer. Performance is also fine for me with snap applications even like Firefox snap startup speed, although I’m using an R9 5900x and Gen 4 M2 NVMe SSD so maybe that’s why, or maybe they really have improved the snap software and it is just as fast now for the most part.

Yep, this is why I have multiple Lemmy accounts. That’s even one of the biggest strengths of Lemmy.

I think the problem with projects like that is they end up with stuff like this: https://i.imgur.com/PRX4haL.png where the only recommended client is one that is unmaintained.

Though I hope Revolt succeeds because Discord has way too big of a monopoly.

The enremovedification is very, very real. This is why the Fediverse is so important.

The protocol used for it is a bit of an older protocol, but basically it uses the RSS protocol. It came out in the 90s and hasn’t been updated since 2014, and I haven’t touched any code related to it since before 2019. Otherwise, it’d just be standard HTTPS for websites like Spotify etc and whatever podcast discovery system they have on their site etc.

Nope, saving and loading works on that game (and pretty much every other game I tested), it’s just you lose the date display in-game so you don’t know when you really last saved.

I mean, Ghost Recon Wildlands which came out in 2017 for example has save dates written as a 32-bit date so it’s prone to the 2038 bug, I set the date to 2040 and tested a bunch of software and while you can save the date overflows and shows as 1969. I bet there are still people using 32-bit dates even if unintentionally.

No worries, glad to hear you got it up and running again :)

Nah, that’s removed. We are not the problem. The people in this thread don’t seem to be the kind of people to go out and buy the latest device every 6 months. I keep my phones for years until either the performance or battery becomes nearly unusable for me. I install Linux on older hardware (and newer hardware) and buy new hardware when necessary, not every time it comes out.

You can blame the average person, sure, but saying all of us is just incorrect.

That’s why I open-source everything I work on, or at least, everything I have permission to. I have one or two projects where I have friends who have contributed a good amount of code but don’t want it public so I respect their wishes and keep it private. Everything else I work on though, it’s open-source.

If I can’t or won’t continue working on something, maybe someone else can find it useful and continue working on it.

ZFS also has snapshotting too FWIW.

I think FPS was actually selected, not frametimes. 1% low frametimes of 89 does not make sense.

There is an issue with the image in the article, but not the one that you might think it was. The FPS should have been more clearly indicated that it was the selected tab and then it probably would have been fine.

edit: I went to the base website https://www.computerbase.de/2023-12/welche-linux-distribution-zum-spielen/2/ it’s in German, but, it seems like the frametimes and frame rates are nearly the exact same values - which doesn’t even seem to make sense to me?

Oh that’s good to know, thanks.

Awesome, glad to hear those issues are aware of! Best of luck with fixing them, it does sound like a challenging bug.

For the new comments having yellow being poor contrast, is that something that could still be fixed? It seems to be really poor contrast and hard on the eyes, a couple of my friends noticed this too.

For the pageCursor not using page number, is that intentional or could it be fixed to use page number again?
