after changing animation speed in KDE i have never managed to get back to gnome, holy cow does my computer feels responsive

it is… well not currently i think, but i remember in the first two years i got no firmware updates on linux, then, when i booted windows the update gave me some firmware updates

laptop

Firmware updates. Samsung doesn’t support Linux and so fwupd gets no security updates from them, fuck Samsung

I don’t know, stuff on the repos can be broken sometimes on some distros, i recall firefox on fedora with the missing codecs, opensuse and their flaky distrobox (or podman?) implementation.

In my experience, repo versions of software is not totally consistent, even worse when compared to flatpak, if a flatpak breaks, it doesnt break on just ubuntu, or fedora, or arch; it breaks everywhere, and gets fixed everywhere too. Credit where credit is due, small utilities generally tend to have better experience when installed natively, like htop, fish, and some other small programs.

Maybe i’m just a dumb software progressive, but flatpak generally is much more reliable for me than native repo versions of software.

if you don’t find another solution, i have libreoffice installed via flatpak and this issue does not exist

i seriously do not understand what’s up with some of you, why do you spell stuff like in “m$”. The extra work to type it like this doesn’t matter at all. It makes no difference, Microsoft will not shut down because you spelled their name as “micro$oft” on your lemmy post or something like that. why do you keep doing this, i don’t understand.

it doesn’t matter. In the end of the day they came

i don’t, not at all, but still think elementaryOS looks beautiful! Like holy hell, even on their websites they manage to make their design look good!

for me it looks like the icon is broken, if there’s no other warning i’m sure the volume is working fine

kde plasma, it’s fast, it’s pretty, it’s handy, it has all the keyboard shortcuts.

hey! don’t be mean like that to my baby…

feel you, brother

i dont think so

very gaming indeed

In my country that would cost me 20 dollars, what an absurd!

it won’t let your ram fill up, i’m quite sure that when you get a high enough memory usage the kernel just starts dumping stuff into swap anyway

they do, but it uses the lz4 algorithm by default, which doesn’t offer the highest compression rate, also the swapiness is not 100 by default.

swapiness =/= priority, if your swapiness is at 1, the kernel is never going to use the device, if the number is high(like 100) every opportunity the kernel sees to put stuff in the swap, it is going to.

don’t be silly, of course it’s not infinite ram, the only way to get infinite ram is if you download it.
