No manufacturer support. But zephyrus g14 (2022) is my favorite laptop ever. Very few issues with Linux.

Indeed. That’s the opposite of what I’m looking for though. That’s complicated and apparently breaks ?

I’m currently dual booting. Which works fine. I was wondering if there was an easier way though.

Same. And it’s not just the amount of content.

The amount of times I’ve had a reply with someone obviously trying to be pedantic and argumentative saying “define common thing” is off the charts.

In think it comes from flathub not having many cli applications in it. I’d love to drop snaps for Flatpak only. But I can get so many snaps that aren’t on flathub it’s crazy.

Oh. Interesting. What do you keep when you export?

They do make some strange choices. But yeah, I agree. Also, on Gnome, everything else feels a bit rough around the edges.

Pretty accurate meme though.

Oof

Oh. I see. Thank you.

So I’m running Debian. Say you want to use nix on it.

Is installing a package as simple as $ nix install vscode ? And would it “just work”?

Might give it a try if so.

why do investments from large companies matter?

Because we are talking about a large company de investing from something.

It’s kinda the topic we are talking about.

Is Lemmy dead?

I mean. Yeah ? Can you imagine any large companies investing in this in any way? I sure can’t.

I don’t see how what they said was contradictory. VR gaming is indeed dead. And Linux gaming with 5 times less users is also even more dead.

There’s a reason why game devs completely ignore Linux as a platform.

Hm. Not sure if it’s because I’ve stuck with gnome and kde. But both definitely freeze often during high I/o or intense processing times.

On multiple machines and multiple distros. It’s one of the most annoying things about it really.

My main issue with it isn’t being out of date. Although that is also an issue.

The main issue is just overall lack of packages in the repos compared to arch.

Proton pass.

Used bitwarden for a long time til I lost my 2fa and lost the account. I also lost proton’s 2fa and they helped me get the account back. Been a customer since.

Passkeys are basically passwords that you don’t send to the server. So they are safer against phishing.

Basically the server has a message. They will scramble it with your public key. And send it to you. Your private key unscrambles the message and then you send the message back to them. So if they receive the original message back. They know you are you. And they never got their hands on your private key at any point. It’s awesome.

2fa is an entirely different thing. And I do wish it was more standard how it works. Some places if you lose it you lose your account (bitwarden). Others you don’t (protonmail).

Everyone should use passkeys. 2fa you have to decide if your case warrants it.

Edit: example of passkeys:

Step 1: they have the message “cat”

Step 2: they encrypt it with your public key and it becomes “acm”

Step 3: they send you the encrypted message “acm”

Step 4: you decrypt the message “acm” into “cat” with your private key.

Step 5: you send them back the message “cat”

Only your private key would be able to decrypt something encrypted with your public key. So they now know you are you. And they never got a hand on your private key. It’s the same as a password except you never send it directly to the server.

Personal stuff is mostly on my phone. And I’ll just sync to the computer what’s needed.

All my code and projects are on GitHub/codeberg.

All my personal info and photos are on proton drive.

If Linux shits itself (and it does often) who cares. I can have it up and running again in a fresh install in ten minutes.

Funny. I didn’t know a single thing about the person. But that commit message made me like him more.

Ofc assuming he was just making a light-hearted joke in it.
