I’m interested in them finding a way to get AC working, but I really dislike this method of doing so. There are a ton of kernel variations, so this would really only work on specific distros and devices. This becoming standard would likely mean being unable to use optimized kernels, different schedulers, and other kernel modules like the ZFS drivers.

If you need to dual boot, be sure to use separate EFI partitions for windows and Linux, separate drives if possible. Windows has done this far too many times.

When I switched it didn’t even have anything to do with the enremovedtification of Windows. I just thought it would be cool to try another OS. Pop_OS was really nice to use and this just so happened to be right around the time Proton was getting really good. I think the only game I was playing that didn’t work was Siege, and I ended up preferring using Linux to playing it.

You don’t need to be into BDSM to know the term gimp suit. I’ve seen it referred to in media plenty of times before. I think it’s less common now, but it’s likely the first thought of many people who hear the name. That or the offensive term for a disabled person, which is not any better.

It wasn’t right for people to bandwagon and harass the project, but that doesn’t mean he was right for closing this PR in the way he did. Him closing this PR is what caused the project to be attacked, not part of the attacks.

Yeah, it was already found to be a bug in the Windows scheduler

Those people are mostly just a meme, I rarely see people actually doing that anymore, although I’m sure they exist. If you want my personality out of it, spend more time customizing. You can look into optimizations, theming, or delve into window managers if you really want to make it your own. There’s a lot of options.

I personally love my Framework 13. Not sure if the battery life is up to your standard, but the new models are plenty enough for me.

I’ve used Linux all through college and haven’t had any problems. I never had to use Windows only software for my degree, but I can’t really say what you might need. LibreOffice can mess up the formatting of more complex documents, but will normally be fine. If you’re working in a group project and need to use shared docs you can always use Word or Google Docs online.

And that’s how all package managers start. If it gets enough attention and enough people find the new capabilities of the package manager and distro interesting, it will get packages made for it.

The website has an about page in the sidebar.

What do you mean by won’t work? chsh is not changing the shell of the entire OS, it’s changing your users login shell. Unless you’ve done something to make your login break without bash, this is completely fine. Using chsh is even how the Fish docs recommend setting it as your default.

What Ubuntu did isnt about login shells, they replaced /bin/sh with dash, meaning any scripts that try to use sh will instead use dash.

I never see people recommend Arch any more. New users should research the distro they should use instead of choosing the distribution they’ve heard of the most.

I agree, I wish fonts just defaulted to distinguishing between them

Again, the binaries aren’t from questionable sources. From what I can tell they all come from the official source. The problem is them being unsigned, which is a simple oversight that can be made when something is being written by someone who is not security minded. It is alpha software and this is already actively being discussed.

Fair, they’re pretty common but most fonts support OpenType variations which let you change parts of the fonts to other variants. Having a variant with distinct l’s and I’s is pretty common and Inter supports this.

It should just work, distrobox supports graphical apps.

Since OP is using an immutable distro they are likely unable to install some dependencies they need without using a container.

Like most modern fonts, it supports a lot of OpenType features, so this can be changed dynamically. Changing some settings by default has already been mentioned in the discussion around the change.
