That’s an interesting way to spell proprietary

I can hear coil whine from my PC’s graphics card, but that’s it.

Edit: Also our home stereo system (not the speakers) when it’s turned on.

I used the have a PC that ran Windows XP, and when I moved the mouse, sound was heard from the speakers. It probably had a cheap sound controller on the motherboard.

I’ve never had issues with TERM=xterm

Kitty if you have a GPU and run programs that have a lot of output (build scripts and emerge). It uses the GPU for better performance.

If it will be used by non-tech savvy people, why do you care about snap and IBM? Do the people care about that?

When you start getting super specific about which distro you want, I think you should start looking towards a DIY distro.

Yeah, that’s half a litre of salty water soaking into your socks and shoes. I find that hard to believe

I wanted to use fio to benchmark my root drive. I had seen a tutorial saying that the file= parameter should point to the device file, so I pointed it at /dev/sda. As you might expect, the write test didn’t go so well.

Before installing Arch on a USB flash drive, I disabled ext4 journaling in order to reduce disk reads and writes, being fully aware of the implications (file corruption after unexpected power loss). I was confident that I would never have to pull the plug or the drive without issuing a normal shutdown first. Unfortunately, there was one possibility I hadn’t considered: sometimes, there’s that one service preventing your PC from turning off, and at that stage there’s no way to kill it (besides waiting for systemd to time out, but I was impatient).

So I pulled the plug. The system booted fine, but was missing some binaries. Unfortunately, I couldn’t use pacman to restore them because some of the files it relied on were also destroyed.

This was not the last time I went through this. Luckily I’ve learned my lesson by now

Yeah, ricing is slang for the r/unixporn kind of themeing. It comes from car culture, where RICE stands for “race-inspired cosmetic enhancement”

Selling as in advertising, I might add. Neon is free

Windows 11 takes your money, gives you ads, sells your information and ignores your bug reports and feature requests

KDE is free, ad-free and open to contribution

I think we have a clear winner here

though

Have you tried MicroG?

YT Music does it best:

So what’s the limit? I imagine it’s something like 127

Also, the inspect element HTML looks funny

I like it because -Ofast -flto go brrr

I use rnote. It looks modern, is pretty configurable, has plenty of useful features and is under active development

What permission pain?

JPEG XL for images because it compresses better than JPEG, PNG and WEBP most of the time.

XZ because it theoretically offers the highest compression ratio in most circumstances, and long decompression time isn’t really an issue when the alternative is downloading a larger file over a slow connection.

Config files stored as serialized data structures instead of in plain text. This speeds up read times and removes the possibility of syntax or type errors. Also, fuck JSON.

I wish there were a good format for typesetting. Docx is closed and inflexible. LaTeX is unreadable, inefficient to type and hard to learn due to the inconsistencies that arise from its reliance on third-party packages and its lack of guidelines for their design.

I have no idea why you got downvoted so much

Here’s one: Iron doesn’t have a smell. It acts as a catalyst in the reaction of bodily fluids or skin oils, which is why you can’t smell coins after washing them

GNU Is Not Unix Is Not Unix is not Unix

Then Sync doesn’t have APNG support

Does this? https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/496d613a-8e7a-4c08-bfa1-0560bca0a368.png

Windows has built-in clipboard history

Also, OP said they wouldn’t be using their PC at all, not just Linux. Specifically cutting out Linux to avoid distractions doesn’t even make sense

I’d ask the author of the commit:

Damn, you ran make?

Material You! Yes!
