Yeah, they’re doing the right thing here as a PR move, they may have known about the shady bullshit or they might not have but if they didn’t I bet they didn’t even ask or care in any way.
Still time to find discord alternatives, luckily the landscape of alternatives seems a bit better than I expected.
Not that I’ve seen. To me the games seem a touch smoother, not better frame rates but more consistent a bit. I imagine there are probably just different quirks and wins/losses with and without game scope in different games maybe.
Something like SDL_RENDERER=wayland environment variable (not at computer right now), and make sure to launch the KDE Wayland session, not x11
Sure, but who wants to be at Beta School? Miss out on first-mover-advantage in (mis)educating your child? Only an idiot would do that!
Not so much to the content of your post but to your title:
Their web interface is nice, reasonably priced (not cheap) prosumer sort of gear. I have 2 APs and 1 router, 1 AP is flaky, it’s the 7 XGS which should be a high end AP. It gets pretty bad coverage with it and it’s flaky, randomly going offline once a week. RMAed it, replaced Ethernet cable, poe injector (ubiquity branded) and tried tweaking settings. Still happening
So to the subject, some good in the web interface but I will not buy again. That said, most network gear has some sort of jank in my experience, flaky, or just bad management interface, etc…
+1 here. I always felt some draw to a tiling or scrolling window manager but they were always a lot of work to set up and I never quite clicked with one. Niri with Dank Material Shell is pretty amazing.
My Indian (dot) wife and all (most?) of her friends love when I ask this.
Pinta is pretty decent for some things, like a paint.net for Linux.
Can do full disk encryption of root and auto-unlock with tpm, the auto-login is a separate thing and not necessarily the same password
Corporate mantra:
Profits Rule Everything Around Me
Microtransactions may make a game an unplayable pile of shit most of the time, but they’re a great way to turn children’s allowances into corporate profit if you’re a gigantic corporation that doesn’t care at all about amount of fun that can be had in a game.

I haven’t switched to it full time, still happy with KDE… but niri is really nice too
I stumbled across this sort of fascinating area of doomsday prepping a few weeks back.
A nice addition to that, don’t just make it a USB, but a raspberry pi. So you’d have a reasonably low-powered computer you could easily take with you.
Not suggesting this one as it seems a bit expensive to me, but https://www.prepperdisk.com/products/prepper-disk-premium-over-512gb-of-survival-content?view=sl-8978CA41
I just bought some UniFi gear for the first time. Cloud gateway fiber, u7 pro xgs and u7 long range.
Really like the dashboard, configuration, vlan.
Really dislike the WiFi APs, they’re AWFUL on range/speed. Updated, tweaked settings, Ethernet backhaul… I had better and more reliable coverage with a single ASUS router (but the asus firmware was terrible). A synology mesh worked pretty reliably too but no >2.5gbps wan port.
I also wish their DNS was more full featured. I haven’t dug into this much, maybe it is something I can do by SSHing into router, been too busy trying to get the WiFi improved.
Not annoyed enough to return the gear but really disappointed with WiFi performance.
The first episode was great, but the PSA was really something. 49 more PSAs and I’m definitely tuning in to see them.
What do you folks on hyprland/sway use for your shell / toolbars / launcher? I tried nwg and it was… OK but pretty clunky. No shade for the developers of the project, all the settings pages and system config stuff is a TON to put together…
I don’t need something as full-featured as KDE or Gnome Settings. I’d prefer a well-polished minimalist launcher and task manager / toolbar over something that does everything
Apple computers ARE really well put together, maybe no other maker exactly as good. But I’d say the Microsoft Surface line is a similar quality. Razer too though they’re pretty expensive.
Asus zephyrus laptops are pretty great build quality, close to Apple but without the same kind of pricing and markup gouging we get from Apple
Im not an apple hater, they make some great stuff. My point above was just that they don’t have competition in the “I need a Mac” space so their hardware isn’t competitively priced. And their build quality is great, but not every laptop needs to be built like a tank with top of the line components.
It’s good, a lot of good work going on, what they already have is impressive and the development seems pretty active and progressing well.
But if you’re buying a laptop to run Linux and don’t plan to use macOS, I really think there are a lot of better options out there (depending on what’s important to you). You’re going to pay the Apple premium price for a computer, and though apple computers are good hardware, they’re expensive and largely overpriced for small upgrades. Whatever price you find for a refurbished M2, take that money and go find a laptop known to be well supported on Linux, it’ll just be a better experience and you’ll probably get more for your money.
I haven’t run Asahi in 6+ months but thunderbolt/usb4 wasn’t working when I last used it so I couldn’t use my usb dock. Video was OK but I think Audio was sketchy (don’t remember specifics). It’s stuff that will get fixed at some point but right now it feels like a handful of minor annoyances or inconveniences
Even in 1-2 years when Asahi gets some updates and is in a better spot (I really do expect it to be) I still don’t think I’d lean towards a macbook with Asahi over something else if Linux is the only OS you’re going to run. Of course, if you’re looking to dabble with some iOS development or something else you need a mac for, but don’t want to live in MacOS, then Asahi’s a great option to get you back to Linux.
Yeah, and the drama of bcachefs getting booted from the kernel was pretty painful to watch, just that he seemed like a guy struggling with things and unable to function. Not that the linux kernel mailing list and development process is easy or low-stress, but it was pretty obvious he was fighting a losing battle and just couldn’t stop making things worse. I don’t know why I feel bad for the guy but I hope he has some people around him to get some help.
