Since about a year ago I've been using wayland on two systems, 3d/gaming performance is great. That said, afaik VRR support is half-baked on Linux, so I wouldn't count on it for now. Also, if OP used nVidia GPUs then it could

Windows machines have the benefit of official Windows support where the integrator worked out the kinks and built-in a bunch of hacks to fix whatever half-broken things the manufacturer cobbled together. Linux machines don't usually h

Every year or so I have my fun with Quake 3 and UT99 with bots. They might not be as smart as a human opponent but playing on Nightmare and Godlike difficulty brings back that twitchy adrenaline infused moments I enjoy so much from those ga

>Generally unpolished UX and poor UI design (even by Windows standards…) is the second reason. Sure Linux has plenty of it's own issues, but nowadays it's Windows that has degraded so much on the UX and UI department that I wou

I'm aware of the AppImage and Flatpak, but those vanished before I could maybe switch to them. The AUR scripts I have are broken and many of the repos they depend on vanished too. And then any attempt by anyone to revive it is met by N

Wasn't Mac OS less than or around 5% for a long time after the 90s? If they thought that was sustainable, maybe Linux should be close by now? Of course there are many other things to also take in account, so who knows.

So... you are complaining that a software that hacks into another software on linux needs more effort to work compared to windows? I think that's a completely reasonable outcome in this case. Care to give a different one? Look, I'

You've probably just solved a mystery with my Minecraft account. A good while ago it got "hacked" while having a strong password (random and unique), plus all security answers were filled with gibberish, which I diligently ke

My favorite feature of mpv so far is being able to apply CRT shaders in real time to content. This solution also handles properly downscaling HD videos into actual 240p buffers that then gets upscaled to your screen resolution by the shader

You can also hold those keys to play normally at the speed set with [ and ], so you can actually play the video in reverse and slow motion or whatever. Be aware that it's usually very intensive on cpu time (and maybe gpu decoding if ap

Steam Deck might be behind in terms of hardware but in terms of software it's way beyond your typical x86 linux system power efficiency, and dare I say it's doing better than windows machines with the typical shoddy bioses and dri

I'm talking about extending the life of a >5 year old machine, not upgrading it every few months. It's pretty common for people to have a, let's say, 10 year old notebook with wifi 4 which could be greatly improved by addi

But you can't add a modern gpu to an old iMac and still enjoy the latest (and not so "latest") games, nor install a modern wi-fi card on an old macbook and enjoy fast wireless, among many other small upgrades you can do to ke

If CRTs kept being manufactured and evolving, maybe they would be more competitive on price compared to today's cheap LCDs.

Apparently the "virus" definition data (whatever it is called) can be auto updated while the computer is booting. Not sure if the intention was for it to update before or after Crowdstrike is activated, but there is a racing condi

You have to also factor in competition. I think it's a big factor on why corporate IT is generally bad, Microsoft and their partners have no reason to improve on the status quo. If we had viable alternatives, in a market where no entit

It gets worse if your machines have bitlocker active, lots of typing required. And it gets even worse if your servers that store the bitlocker keys also have bitlocker active and are also held captive by crowstrike lol

I also don't get why pay for a password manager when there is a free one from a trustworthy entity, Mozilla Firefox, that works on android, windows, linux, iOS and MacOS.

> Jumping straight to the Linux Desktop deep end after using Windows for years is an unlikely change path for most. These arguments ignore the fact that most Windows users have a lot of Windows-specific apps that they use, such as games.

And all the drivel that google's own search AI has been spewing comes from where? Or the incredible breadth of, often wrong, knowledge that ChatGPT can spew out in seconds, where does that comes from? Maybe at some point they will try
