Is it something specific to a particular model or combination of those? Because I run a laptop with amd integrated GPU and discrete nvidia GPU (not that rare, actually) and Wayland works flawlessly. Games use xwayland without any issues when necessary.
I used to have my reservations a year or so ago, but Wayland has grown in leaps and bounds over the last couple of years. It is much more ready now.
None of that comes activated by default. Sure, there are some dark patterns that trick people into activating bullshit. But anyone with half a brain and a minimum attention span not rotten yet by social media will click no on those prompts. Once disabled at the first startup, Samsung doesn’t bother you ever again. You can uninstall every single Samsung app and substitute with your favorite, no issue. This includes all Google apps, except play services because of Google.
As for ads and uninstallable bloat, it’s probably a carrier version. Those do get bloated and get ads. But otherwise, the international unlocked versions don’t show any ads at all. I’ve never seen an ad in my S25 phone and use nearly all Foss apps. The phone has never refused to uninstall anything. The effort to do that is pretty minimum, no tech knowledge required. Just learn to say no to software, it’s not rocket science. People got conditioned to saying yes to every prompt just to make it go away. This is how they get you. But it is not mandatory or out of your power to disable that stuff.
And for the UI, it’s a subjective matter of taste. I’ve never liked any of the alternative launchers either, they all suck in some minor way that breaks their gimmick. OneUI is fine and perfectly functional, it even has more customization and QoL features than stock launcher and other truly bullshit launchers like Xiaomi’s.
Not all Samsung phones are the same. Carrier versions are usually the one’s that come neutered and bloated. While international versions are unlocked and allow to uninstall anything. Including Google’s applications. I wished they wouldn’t be working on permanently locking the boot loader, that is their real sin.
Today people are obsessed with starting at season 1 and watching all the show. But, not all shows require that type of viewing. I grew up in the times of syndication and cable TV. You didn’t get to watch the show from the start. You just hop up on whatever was on the air that day. It’s perfectly fine to skip shitty seasons and episodes and only watching the bangers. There are very few series that actually have perfect records where every single episode is worth watching. I don’t understand people who endure 45 minutes of awful TV to experience 3 seconds of a dialogue that will somehow become relevant 4 seasons later.
Multi monitor also breaks some games on Windows. Why would anyone want to use that OS?
You think you’re describing a problem with Linux, but you’re just describing a problem with the game. If it’s not on steam it would be the same way on Windows. It will most likely be in a different, less popular and barely supported launcher. By then it is the publisher who is screwing you up, not Linux.
OK, now we know the hardware is capable. But there are still many other factors. I theorize it could be a driver. But for that it would be necessary to know distro, kernel version, hardware specs. It could be a kernel module that is not loaded on your distro version or it could be that the driver simply doesn’t exist yet. It could be a configuration problem in moonlight. Explore those venues and report back with more info.
It might be the old motherboard and chipset. If they don’t have good speed they won’t be able to keep up with the bitrate or bandwidth necessary for streaming. Old chipsets weren’t made for it since it wasn’t a thing years ago. Just to name one component, newer PCI express busses are sometimes 10 to 100 times faster than older formats (like PCI-X). For example, PCIe 8 doubles the speed of PCIe 7 that is barely 3 years old, imagine compared to even older versions. This is necessary to keep up with internet modems and the typical speeds and ping times required for game streaming with minimum lag.
Ublue is not a workable system image. It’s the general cloud native process to make distributions. There’s a bare bones starting point oci image called ublue-os. But that’s like saying the hammer is the original chair. It’s confusing a tool with the final product.
Bluefin and Aurora are the original distros. Bazzite is a spin of bluefin.
I always took it more as a sermon on defeatism and belief in one’s own prowess. The quote can be misleading out of context. But if you remember the entire scene, Luke is in a very negative mood. Saying over and over that he can’t lift the X-wing, that it is impossible, what is the point, it is different from lifting small rocks, etc. Yoda is trying to shift Luke’s point of view. There’s no difference between the small feat and the large feat, only that he doesn’t believe himself capable enough to do it. Yoda instead appeals to determination. Do it, failure is not even believing in doing it in the first place—remember the quote is not “success or fail”, it is “do or do not”. Lack of confidence and faith in the force is what is holding Luke back. The quote comes as a response for Luke going “ok, I’ll try” in a completely defeated way. Suggesting he already decided he will fail. Thus Yoda’s scolding, no, don’t try, do it, full send, believe. The unspoken corollary being, if you do it and fail, then just do it again, harder and using what you learned.
After Yoda demonstrates that it was possible, after all, Luke says “I don’t believe it”, and Yoda responds “that is why you fail”. The whole point is that believing himself incapable is what is holding Luke back, you have to believe and do the thing. Else you’ll always fail. You suck at playing the violin? well, do it anyway, that’s the only way you’ll get good at playing the violin. Saying I can’t play the violin will only set you up for eternal failure and you will never do it.
It is poignant because the film actually ends in a sort of defeat. The empire seems all powerful and impossible to oppose, but they do it anyway. Afterwards Han Solo is in carbonite, Luke was severely wounded, losing an hand. Hoth is lost, cloud city betrayed them. But instead of being downtrodden and defeated, they end up hopeful and ready to do it again, to face the empire and save their friends. Because they believe in themselves and the force. It is like, the point of the movie.
But if your roommate says he isn’t a thief, however he always hangs around with the local gang and continuously brings used stuff that he has no way of legally acquiring since he doesn’t even have a job. I don’t know man, you have to start asking questions.
Mike is not a nazi, he just goes to the nazi bar because he likes the beer.
Yeah, because thieves go around making public statements of “we are thieves!”
No, but they are forever beta. They still lack a ton of features I use.
The only thing I dislike of heliboard is their swipe function requires Google binaries. Most FOSS keyboards either lack some feature I use or are immersed in wild controversies.
Why does every mobile keyboard developer have some controversial shit? I just want to text in peace.
For a noob, better something with a webui.
Story wise, they retell some things and tell a brand new story from the books for the most part. But still very closely follow the book’s characters, relationships and settings.
The show feels like it isn’t even on the same universe. And the characters are aliens cosplaying as the book characters but who never actually read the source material and don’t understand what the story is about.
It wasn’t. It just copied slack when it was becoming popular in the dev work world with a marketing blitz. It coincided with team speak sudden death. Slack did most of the marketing and discord bandwagoned on it as the fun slack for video games. Which in essence was just “what if IRC but with voice chat rooms.”
Video game support wasn’t part of Discord intent until people started using it for it. Then they hacked the UX nightmare that is their solution for something the app was never meant to do.
Oh, my bad. Misread it the other way around. Disregard the comment then. That said. I disagree with the other commenter. Such a combination of GPUs is not rare at all. It was even recommended frequently to PC builders about 5+ years ago.
