I was thinking a “shit” mode but “stable” does sound nicer lol.

Nobody should be those people. Those people are constantly giving the industry a reason to water everything down and make things as overpriced and limited as possible.

Arm processor, an nVidia graphics card, and Ubuntu? Err, doesn’t sound great.

Imagine turning Windows into an even shittier version of itself, and you’ve got S mode.

Can’t install shit unless it’s from the MS Store. Can’t use a browser unless it’s Edge. Not sure what other stupid shit it enforces. It’s supposed to harden the system, but I find that hard to believe.

Yeah, no idea. Turns out I already had dkms installed. Ah well, it’s not a huge deal because I can still ssh or live-usb boot if I really cook something

I agree. I’m a long-time Linux user and I’ve never seen this before. TTY works fine on bootup, but I’m guessing as soon as the Nvidia drivers kick in, that’s when it shits the bed. I’ll make some btrfs snapshots and try the dickums (lol) driver later today. Here’s hoping!

Arch, gtx980, nouveau.

Maybe I should check out dkms

Not necessarily a pain to install, however I’ve had a lot of stupid issues - like not being able to open a TTY session., I can’t run Sway, and Hyprland absolutely refuses to work with my 3 monitor setup.

Linux is a great platform for developing things like bots in.

Reddit is 90% bots.

Makes sense to me. 🤣

I jumped from Ubuntu over to Arch because I was getting fed up with all the things I wanted to do being unavailable in Ubuntu, but all in the Arch repo or AUR.

I’ve been using Debian-based distros for like 25 years, so it was definitely a bit of a change, but it didn’t take long to adjust. I’m glad I made the change.

Why? Krita exists and it’s FOSS. I would sooner throw them a donation than pay a subscription or fee for something else.

Yeah man. I don’t get it these days. Back when all we had was GIMP, I fully understood it. But switching to Krita has been pretty easy. The Photoshop binds are still a bit off, but nothing that you can’t go in and fix up the rest of the way

Yeah, but why would I want to do that? I don’t understand what problem this is solving…

The benefit is that I can save a fraction of a second by not having to symlink a config file… At the cost of having to use a bloated app system?

I don’t see the use-case for this that couldn’t be handled by syncthing, rclone, github, or whatever offline storage you’re using for backups. I think I’m missing something…

This person gets it!

Don’t all apps have that? Just throw your dotfiles on GitHub

I’d pick the AUR package 100% of the time because I hate everything about the idea of appimages and the like.

I’ve been running Linux for 20+ years as well (on-amd-off for most of that, but mostly on). Stability has almost never been an issue, only when I was fucking around and finding out lol. My biggest problem in recent years was Ubuntu never having what I wanted, and Arch always having what I needed… So I just moved to Arch and things have never been better.

Agreed. I fucking hate Nautilus - especially the way it fucking tries to filter everything instead of jumping me to where I’m typing. It makes navigation so much slower

I hope not. I hope it never does. Windows users are weird enough not giving a shit about installing rootkits on their computer. We don’t want this in Linux. What computer is worth compromising just for some game to determine whether or not you’re cheating at it?
