  • I was mocking around with GPU drivers in order to make Podman containers to access the GPU. (…) I don’t have much spare time and I would like to play a game, I used to play before, without spending hours/days fixing issue that didn’t exist last time I played it.

    And

    I had other, non-regular user issues with those

    I think, you should keep these two things (messing with containers accessing GPU and “just play a game”) separate. I mean on separate boxes. Because now you can’t “just play” because you’ve been elbows deep in OS internals. You can’t take apart your fridge and then expect it to just cool the water the next day

    “optimised” for KDE

    Then I’m guessing these might need some KDE envs

    Yes, I use it on a daily basis but there’s no easy way to get it working on iOS/iPadOS.

    Ah, you’re trying to breach the non-open wall. Is there an app on i* that allows you to set up an ftp/http file sharing server on the device? You probably could set it up as rclone upstream


  • started with Mandrake, moved to Mandriva, spent over a year on Ubuntu and recently I’ve been using Fedora

    Another unpopular opinion:
    That’s because you’ve been using distributions that are either behind the times or have a lot of wonky crap added to them that looks like user friendliness when it works and is like fixing windows when it doesn’t (I’ve been through similar path, just with a few other distros along the way)

    Start with Gentoo or Arch (maybe Slackware). These are close to the grass, so the way to set things up is the way to fix things up

    some apps don’t respect desktop scaling

    are these gtk based apps? Different toolsets require different envs

    syncing

    Have you tried syncthing?


  • Illusion — Why do we keep believing that AI will solve the climate crisis (which it is facilitating), get rid of poverty (on which it is heavily relying), and unleash the full potential of human creativity (which it is undermining)?

    Because we keep reading sensationalist advertisements presented as articles instead of experimenting with it ourselves, understanding what it is

    And unfortunately, this article is also just a response to media clickbait, not a discussion point it tries to look like





  • Windows (~6 years) -> Mandriva (Mandrake? For I think 2-3 years) -> Ubuntu (1 day) -> Suse (2 days) -> Slackware (2-3 years) -> Gentoo unstable (2-3 years) -> Gentoo stable (2-3 years) -> Arch (9 years and counting)

    The only span I’m sure about is the last one. When I started a job I decided I don’t have the time to compile the world anymore. But the values after Windows sum up to 21, should be 20, so it’s all more or less correct
