Yep, as for the last point: the problem was not so much the devs but data going through a Chinese server

If Mint works for you, just stick with it. No need to try a different distribution to compare. You’ll know when you need it.

I would only go to Fedora if you need it. For example newer drivers (kernel, mesa). Don’t go change the kernel and/or mesa on a distribution, probably better to switch at that point. Or if you need KDE or GNOME for some reason. Wayland is disabled in Mint by default, but can be enabled. It’s been over a year IIRC since they added experimental Wayland support so it may be fine by now.

Differences between Linux distributions are exaggerated.

Mint is a great choice, it is very stable, and it really holds your hand via the Software Center.

However, stable also means old: it does not support the latest hardware.

If you have hardware that released after (rough estimate) April 2024, consider something based on Fedora, such as Bazzite, instead. It comes with modern drivers and should support modern hardware much better.

Genuinely great blog post!

This is perfect for [email protected] though: “nah I don’t want to switch to Linux, it’s hard. I’ll just compile QEMU with some patches to run VMs on Windows”

OG Crysis!

It’s a pretty great Deck game, and I’d never seen it run as consistently as it does on Deck at 40fps limit.

keep it on cache since I do a lot of code compilation, but I will usually switch it to frequency for gaming and stuff.

Isn’t gaming the most cache-heavy CPU workload there is? The X3D CPUs have consistently topped gaming benchmarks, even outperforming much more modern CPUs that lack 3D cache.

I’d sooner do it the other way around: frequency for compiling, rendering, transcoding, etc. Cache for gaming!

LXQt runs on it

Yep, and then there’s probably a good number of people who have no idea of threat modelling who just copy those actions to say they have “good privacy”.

Tbh, I’m closer to the latter.

There will be tougher usecases to migrate. Which, depends on how you use Google.

For example, I’ve never read Google News but am having trouble replacing Keep for synced, widgeted notes (groceries etc) on phone, as well as GSheets for synced, collaborative excel-like sheets with good mobile UX.

Also, I would bundle mail and calendar in one (it’s a single button to import both in Proton and those services are tightly coupled) and check your duplicate browser/chrome mentions

The article says it can debug TUIs, similar to what the browser’s debug panel does for web apps. That is useful for TUI developers.

Other than that, I don’t know either what Kitty is missing.

Finally, the end of “it doesn’t work on Wayland” is in sight. Just in time for Windows 10 EoL too

… that there …

Pyright is the open source language server behind pylance and it works just fine in my neovim setup (in case you hadn’t recognized the commands and the logo). There’s also basedpyright if you have beef with pyright.

Protip: let someone else manage your neovim setup: just use lazyvim.org

Plugins on a universal open source IDE are a better system than specialised proprietary IDEs (that also share “core” code but it’s not open source).

Fight me.

Fair warning though: I know these

Heard of Headscale?

OK, no RouterOS then

ASUS is Taiwanese. TP-Link is Chinese

That’s a shame. It would’ve been nice to have a good European manufacturer for network devices
