I replaced docker with podman on all of my systems, and so far i really have nothing to complain about. Works exactly as advertised

I use Bibata however I don’t really have a strong preference for any specific one.

Going to return to this thread a bit later, just to see if other people link something interesting

My mom got my XPS9350 i used to bring to uni, and at the moment, it has Fedora in it.

She repeatedly claimed it was a lot more straightforward for her to understand, compared to the endless inconsistencies and issues on Windows. All things considered, she is fairly tech illiterate too.

Plus it’s easy for me to remote into, in case something breaks

The original announcement isn’t even very long. Could you not have read it before leaving this comment?

Ah that’s probably why I couldn’t dig it up. Nixpkgs gets a ton of activity daily so this PR get buried haha.

Great to hear it’s already there

It’s absolutely mental that a reverse-engineered hardware stack, with a bespoke gpu driver in Rust, achieved this kind of performance, in this amount of time. God tier skills, between all the engineers involved in the project

There’s no PR open for nixpkgs at the moment, so either we wait until a trusted packager updates it, someone makes a PR, or you can also use a thirdparty flake

6.2 has been merged into staging-next

If your CPU was one of the affected units with defective hardware, no amount of microcode will fix that. Otherwise get the update as usual

Short answer is that you don’t have to do anything.

Slightly longer answer is that you can remove all existing nvidia packages, with any boot parameters they may have required, call it a day.

My uni provided a complete license for the entire MATLAB suite, but this piece of software is genuinely a nightmare to use. Every time i has to touch it, i wish i just had python instead

Generally speaking, if something’s been published as .deb exclusively, someone’s already repackaged it in AUR too, so I personally never worry about it. Same story with Nix, which has an even larger repository of things in unstable

1. Pretty much any reasonably maintained editor has these features. Even without doing any programming VSCode is a good place to start, otherwise, a lot of desktop environments have their own editors, such as KDE’s Kate.
2. You can use a vm, but I believe you can also just run iTunes through Wine. I haven’t done so personally, so mileage may vary.
3. I do all of my gaming on linux, with the exceptions of games with an invasive anticheat. Have yet to find something that just plain does not work. Otherwise, performance is on par, or ironically, better in rare cases. Your first stop here should be Protondb and AWACY. With newest stable Proton, or Proton-GE, you will rarely have issues.
4. Expect support for these
5. mpv by itself does the job
6. No comment here, i use cli.
7. No comment again, I use cli. KDE has a batch renamer in the frameworks bundle
8. Your usual shortcuts work as expected, although keep in mind that some are modified for terminal emulators, for example Shift+Ctrl+C instead of Ctrl+C. Otherwise, your desktop environment, or keybind manager of choice will let you change just about anything.
9. Segmentation is mostly an illusion here. There are several major choices: Debian, Arch, Fedora, Nix, Gentoo, and SUSE. Everything else is a derivative of these. Some offer minor changes, some offer more considerable ones. Generally, the differences between Linux distributions is just the package manager. Find what works for you, and look from there.

I suggest you try Endeavour. It’s a good all-rounder, and if you don’t like manual installation of Arch, it takes the effort out of that. Otherwise, it’s essentially the same. Simple, and just works. The wiki is your friend

That is absolutely massive. Props to them for continuing to invest into the tools they use

My favorite kind of update. So many excellent little improvements

The entire Gitkraken suite used to be free before 2016. The free tier you get now is a severely crippled version of what it used to be.

Not everything is a conspiracy, just so you understand

I miss when Gitkraken used to be free. They nickel and dimed every feature they possibly could have

For now you can either use paru-git, or the already updated yay/yay-bin packages. Please just don’t symlink the libraries together

Upgrading as soon as BORE patches come out of testing

I have a RaspberryPi with a Plex container sitting upstairs. Works like a charm

I’ve tried basically everything under the sun, and keep returning to Thunderbird. Thankfully they’ve fixed the endless amount of performance issues with it.

Everything else is either in a horrible state, abandoned, or paid spyware that used to be a free project originally
