I spent some time in a live ISO and had no issues. Haven’t tried a snapshot yet though.

I booted into a live usb and haven’t had issues so it seems like a driver issue (thankfully).

I’m using a GTX 1660 TI.

Nothing has changed hardware wise for months. Last software update (before today) was 4-7 days ago.

I’m 80% sure I do. I hadn’t updated for a few days (before today) and it had been working up until earlier today.

I booted into an EndeavourOS live USB (just to keep it all the same) and there hasn’t been any freezing. So it seems like a driver issue then.

I’ve been looking for something for Wayland, I’ll give this a go, thank you.

I’ve done an Arch install the “manual” way a handful of times (mainly to say that I did it), but whenever I do an install now, it’s with the script. It’s probably the fastest I have ever installed a workable OS, ever! It works really well at getting what you need without too much fluff.

I really wanted to try BlendOS but the installer didn’t work at all for me and a couple others (this was when v4 was released). Haven’t tried again recently though.

I couldn’t even get the installer to work. Tried a couple times but it just wouldn’t install so I gave up on it - still want to try it though

I’ve used Bluefin and Aurora for some light web development. I created a container with toolbox (I assume things would be similar with distrobox) and did what I needed. When I needed, I could run npm start and it was as if I had developed locally.

Not sure if it’s sold outside of Ireland but “Murphy’s” is really good, and of course, Guinness (if you’re into stouts)

Search has definitely been iffy. Sometimes it’s been pretty decent (also based in Ireland) but other times it leaves me wondering what “it was thinking”

Edit: corrected the comment. I forgot to finish the rest of the last sentence.

Not quite Arch, but I’ve been running EndeavourOS without any issues. It’s been super stable! The only time I’ve had issues is when I’ve messed with the system.

I’m pretty sure it’s using the default GNOME wallpaper.

I don’t think they work at all on comments, although I don’t have hard evidence to confirm this. However, I believe there are “block lists” you can add to your websites robots.txt that work decently.

I’ve definitely seen more video content of people trying Linux or moving over completely after that announcement from MS.

I think Lemmy plays a part in it but also all the stuff with MS recently (and people getting tired of it).

I think most Lemmy users use Linux

I was thinking about this earlier today. I’d love to do a Lemmy wide survey to see how true this is or to what extent.

I’m not sure if this is part of the “frequency illusion”, but I’ve noticed a lot more mainstream media talking about Linux as a viable alternative.

I can’t remember where I found it, but here it is. I thought it might be from here (I’ve used these previously) but it is not.

Unfortunately, I’m having to use X11 because of work (context). Thanks for the help!
