The bread and butter for anyone wanting a TLDR:

The FDO team is right that Hyprland’s community reflects poorly on the Linux desktop community as a whole. Vaxry [the Hyprland Dev] has created a foothold for hate, transphobia, homophobia, bullying, and harassment in the Linux desktop community. We are right to take action to correct this problem.

Nature is… healing? I guess?

Not OP, but my personal (mild) meh with Libre is it’s visual style. But to be fair, I use it rarely and for those few occasions I’ve been too lazy to check if there are design alternatives (which most definitely exist, we’re on Linux after all).

It’s a chicken-egg problem. People stay away from Linux because Linux can’t run (or at least very flawed) industry standard programs like Adobes catalogue and those proprietary software publishers wont publish for Linux because there aren’t enough Linux users to be worth the “trouble”.

But that’s just a part of the problem, the true offender, are the goalpost-movers. “Linux cant run A, that’s why I NEED to stay on windows. What? A now runs flawlessly? Well there’s also B which is really important!” No matter how many programs get ported or at least near flawlessly emulated, there will always be one more program our jack-of-all-trades absolutely can’t live without.

I think this is my 3rd favourite side gig

What games do you play so that nothing works? The only problems I had in over half a year with Linux and pretty much daily gaming are cyberpunk 2.0 (which is nvidias fault and already a lot better with 2.01) and the Xbox service in aoe2. Everything else works perfectly normal, from DOS games like Commander Keen and fate of Atlantis to MMOs like LOTRO and ESO to triple A games like Witcher 3 and Dark Souls 3. They all work perfectly fine and in >90% of cases out of the box, only sometimes do they need minor adjustments like a certain proton version or commands

What the fuck

Until we welcome the next CEO: Elon Musk

the only “bottleneck” i currently have is plymouth-quit-wait.service, which takes 3.9 seconds. i can live with that

🎶 I know what I’m gonna buy soon 🎶

Well, as long as it works I won’t change anything for now

With proton 8 it crashed twice, both times while loading the savegame

Well… my first impression was really underwhelming. The overlay seems to be controller-only, after looking into the settings to maybe find something to change that the game crashed. After restarting the game I chose perks for my char and just as I finished, the game crashed again.

After going through some Proton versions, it seems like proton 6 works, but I’ve just been playing for about 15 minutes

Edit: can’t make that up, 3 seconds after writing this comment, the game crashed. Guess I’ll continue testing

Edit 2: Proton experimental might be the solution

Edit 3: Proton experimental is about as stable as Cyberpunk gets. Now my second impression is a lot better. The controller overlay is still really annoying, but I guess there will be a fix soon. The new quickhack system feels like a nerf, the new skill tree is really well made, the police is better (but still kinda shit, you can still just drive away and lose your star), the new cyberware system is really cool and Sasha Grey as radio host is awesome. So far thumbs up on 2.0.

Edit 4: so today, nothing worked. I tried all proton versions, even on different drivers, tried all sorts of tricks I found online and each and every time the game crashed within the first 3 minutes of gameplay. I don’t know what changed from yesterday to today, but anyway, thanks Nvidia and thanks CDPR, both of you somehow made the game unplayable.

11/10 better than the millennium falcon arc and SBR combined

Moved from Ubuntu to Debian on my main machine a few days ago.

Although it’s a bit of a hustle, so far I think it’s worth it, especially since Debian 12 came out fairly recently (I think it was June?)
