I’m here to stay.
Who says CachyOS is mostly for newer machines?? I don’t know why anyone would make such a claim. At least on their website, no such claim can be found. The official system requirements are listed at https://wiki.cachyos.org/installation/installation_prepare/ , you can switch between minimum and recommended set.
I was on Manjaro before too and can recommend the switch to EndeavourOS too.
And they kind of give up looking for meaning on what others say.
Or use an Ai to summarize it…
Competition is actually a good thing. Nobody wants a single giant corporation to control the majority of a technology. However I am not sure if this is really a good thing, because this means Microsoft will invest more into Ai, buy more graphics cards, fire real engineers and so on. Is competition a bad thing for once?
Me too. What happened there? I thought it might be because some of my browser extensions block few scripts and other elements. Enabling some of the stuff didn’t make reveal the article, so I lost interest. Or is it paid?
Very interesting read.
Is this an off season April Fool’s joke?
No, they don’t. Its actually described. Distrowatch just tracks how many clicks the pages on Distrowatch has. That’s all. But lot of people don’t understand and take these numbers as general popularity index.
And on DistroWatch (last 30 days) its still place 16, just above NixOS. :D Shows again why DistroWatch shouldn’t be used as a generalized popularity comparison: https://distrowatch.com/index.php?dataspan=4 (Note the link will have different data after time goes on.)

Linux is not a lifestyle
I have to disagree about this point.
I’d love to some of the Bazzite users migrate to Bluefin or Aurora.
Why?
When do you need a newer or older version of Bash to target? I mean usually this is not a thing to concern about.
Trying to abstract everything away in multiple layers of classes and function calls, just to avoid to write a 2 lines of code twice is the biggest evil in programming. Well probably not the biggest, but a huge problem in my opinion. Adding unnecessary complexity due to being clever is evil.
I want to say, it takes a while to learn many stuff in Linux. You didn’t learn everything of Windows in one video or blog post either. And in Linux, its even “worse”, as it is open ended with many operating systems and replaceable parts. That means its by design more to learn than on Windows. I’m just setting expectations. “Learning Linux” is not a single event or product you learn, and you hopefully never stop learning.
That should give you a bit of background and basics to start with. Just search these terms and start learning and experimenting. Plan years into learning…

This question is probably as old as Linux itself. While many (me included) do not like Ubuntu anymore, I still think its a good operating system for newcomers to Linux. Not at last because of the community it has. Ubuntu is only by those dislike who are long enough in this game. There are also different variants with different user interfaces and such (like Kubuntu).
This title is a bit funny. :D You had me in the first halve, not gonna lie.
This is a search tool that will only return content created before ChatGPT’s first public release on November 30, 2022.
https://tegabrain.com/Slop-Evader , the linked source code on Firefox extension page seems to no longer exist: https://github.com/tegacodes/slop-evader
So it literally cuts off everything after that date. Why the need for an extension in the browser? One can add max date to any search engine search terms and limit the results too. At least this works with Google, in example before:2022-11-30. This could be a bookmark in example: https://www.google.com/search?q=before%3A2022-11-30 Note I do not use Google myself. You have to try this with your favorite search engine yourself.
While I think the idea is good to search everything before, I am not certain we need a closed source extension for if we could just add a search term to it manually. And this does not really solve searching the web with content after that date. Still need a better solution to this, especially if time goes on.
I don’t trust this company, as they hate Linux. Wouldn’t use their engine if I target Linux, as we don’t know how they will support it in the future. I am not against open sourcing it, that’s not my issue. In fact I applaud it. But can’t trust them. Anyone supporting this project will help making their games better, who do not give a shit about Linux support.
Is there any technical reason to use s&box engine over any other Open Source engine? I ask that from a gamer perspective and don’t know all the differences.
Definitely not like OUR (in the sense of owning from community perspective). No seriously, I pronounce it like most do and say each letter on their own like a pirate.
Well, no need to websearch. Just go to the website and look for any official links, such as the wiki. As for the optimized packages, I found this on their website:
So the listed CPUs in the requirements list should take advantage of this I guess. And my assumption is, that these CPUs are required to run the packages at all. Maybe that’s where the “newer machines” is meant with.
