Not applicable to AMD, and device passthrough can be clunky and not worth it if the user isn’t doing anything that GPU-intensive.

I use KDE.
Teya & Salena represented Austria in Eurovision last year with “Who the Hell is Edgar?”, it was written from the perspective of wanting to be taken seriously in the industry, veiled through a fun song about being possessed by the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe, though the bridge gets quite blatant and singles out Spotify for not paying its artists properly. It was one of the favourites in the Eurovision community last year and I think it would’ve done better had the Finland vs. Sweden rivalry not happened.
I was able to get lossless back then. It’s a matter of enabling fake_wifi
for the app in Waydroid. You have to play a track for it to activate, but that’s also a bug I’ve experienced on my actual phone.
Used to use it for Apple Music but Cider 2 does what I want now, especially since Apple started locking down AM on rooted devices (of which Waydroid basically is) for no good reason.
Has Virtiofs matured lately into something that can be used day-to-day? I ask because I think the virtio stuff will be better for Windows virtualisation in the long-term, especially when VMware’s future is not certain, but I heard folder-sharing on Windows guests was pretty bad from Lemmy recently, and a few years ago I tried it and yeah, I have to agree.
I think they’re working on something as well. But just in case, MATE are experimenting with Wayland using Wayfire as the compositor, which is funny given that Compiz was very popular with GNOME 2/MATE back in the day and Wayfire is very much inspired by that.
From the UK, the dark sky lasted longer than I thought.
I use a redirector extension for YouTube so PipedBot is useless and annoying for me. I’d rather someone just give me a YouTube URL and let the redirector extension do its work.
TL;DRbot is okay, I guess.
I think a lot of people have a few killer apps that just don’t work on Linux even with WINE. Hell, I’ve heard that VR is not worth it on Linux. There are edge cases like that, that need to be sorted some way. Hopefully whatever Valve is doing wrt their supposed standalone VR headset helps there.
Those screenshots look really nice, ngl, hoping this goes through. Edge and Vivaldi have had their own vertical tab implementations for a while now, and there are Firefox forks that show it can be done. No reason for base Firefox not to have it at this point.
While I’m here, Mozilla bring back compact spacing, plz k thx.
Yeah I had to go back to Windows since MusicBee and Apple Music had issues with VMware and have no viable Linux alternative. (Cider is a MusicKit/web version frontend, and has the same issues as the web version unfortunately)
Honestly I love the Steam Deck for getting Linux into people’s hands in a way that’s easy and Just Works :tm:. They’ve not replaced the OS on their Steam Deck at all, which is a win not just for Valve but the Linux ecosystem as a whole.
Though, the only issue my friends has had is transferring files to and from the Steam Deck if their main PC runs Windows or Mac. There are a multitude of varyingly convenient options but all of my friends have literally just plugged an external hard drive through the sole USB-C port lol. Linux has to cater to people who won’t even install third-party drivers.
I was thinking on moving to Fedora, since it has more robust support for GUI-based installation through PackageKit and it’s got a more stable release cycle. But Arch and its wiki is just my bread and butter at this point that moving to another distro feels foreign and annoying in comparison, even though it’s not the distro’s fault.
What brand, if I can ask? Over in the UK I’ve only seen Dr. Pepper USA do cherry vanilla, which is different to Coca-Cola’s Dr. Pepper that uses aspartame and sugar. (US Dr. Pepper uses HFCS) UK Dr. Pepper was way too strong with the sugar but with the aspartame it just tastes watery and dead.
Zevia is quite tricky to get in the UK (not seeing any Vanilla Cola imported here) but if I see an opportunity to get it imported, I’ll go for it.
Tangentially related, Amazon has a lot of Green Cola, don’t know if that’s a brand people know or not but they claim to use stevia as well. Edit: Green Cola does contain sucralose so if you’re trying to skip that one too, keep that in mind.
Cherry vanilla? I thought that was American! Haven’t had it in a while since the importers don’t have 'em in stock.
Switched to Windows from Linux for a bit because I was having a few problems with Linux, but the main one is that seemingly, spotty 5Ghz connections cause iwlwifi to panic, which means no wifi. Windows does not have this problem. (relevant chip is the Intel AX210)
It’s annoying because the UX on KDE is objectively better than Windows and I don’t want to have to deal with slower connections because the wifi driver has a dumb bug, and reporting the bug to the LKML is something I do not have the knowledge to do.
Full-sugar Coca-Cola Vanilla. Was a bit of a hit in the UK in 2000s, was revived in 2013, then discontinued in favour of their aspartame-filled mess. I tried the “zero sugar” variant and it just tasted like cheap cola with a hint of vanilla. I’ve since gone for Tim Hortons’ French Vanilla since they started expanding here.
AFAIK it’s being worked on but time is a major issue for the person handling the MR.
I’d love to donate specifically to get Virtio/VirGL on a Windows guest. Given that VirtualBox and VMware could be on very shaky ground thanks to their owners, I think libvirt will be the long-term solution.
