Technically its performance is a bit slower than CachyOS, and some of the package versions can be a bit behind as well (like Mesa or the kernel), which can contribute to the slowness. Flatpaks work fine though for the most part. I would rec

That's mainly an nVidia issue. On AMD, Linux is actually faster and more stable compared to Windows.

SuSE would be a better option then, IMO. Not only have they been around much longer (1994 vs 2004), they offer much better support compared to Canonical. And as a bonus, you don't need to put up with any of the continuous enshittificat

Bazzite works a bit differently as it's an immutable distro. Whilst updates for normal/user-level packages (Steam etc) will continue to work (as these are Flatpaks), your core system packages won't and you can't just cha

It doesn't need to, if your disk supports OPAL2 - just set the password in BIOS and encrypt the drive, it's fully transparent to the OS and as a bonus, there's virtually no performance hit unlike software-based encryption lik

Pop!_OS isn't good for gaming thanks to being quite behind in package versions. You're better off going with a dedicated gaming distro (which offers recent packages) such as PikaOS if you want a Debian base.

Not OP, but I recall Tauri greatly overstating their memory usage claims. It is ultimately a browser running your "app", but just because it's not bundled with your app, doesn't make it consume any lesser RAM. And they e

You can make it work if you spoof the VM's SMBIOS strings and rename some device objects so it's not obvious you're running in a VM. Plenty of guides on how to do this, eg: https://github.com/Scrut1ny/Hyp

Putting politics and Musk aside, it makes little sense to own a Tesla in that country. The only strategy that would work, IMO, is an exit strategy. - Many roads there are unfit for a low-profile large sedan like a Tesla: too many potholes,

I would recommend also adding Vivaldi, LibreWolf, Zen Browser and Orion - all excellent alternatives to the mainstream browsers and slowly gaining in popularity.

Vanilla Wine doesn't, but Proton/Proton-GE does. It supports BattlEye, EAC, VAC, and nProtect Gameguard. Maybe a few others I missed out on. But this means nothing unless game devs/studios actually enable support for it, and

You're talking about business workflows, and that makes sense. But this article is about universities, they have far less Microsoft-specific document editing workflows, compared to established enterprises. At least, that was my experie

Unfortunately, some of us are stuck in a country which is a Microsoft shop, which makes it next to impossible to get into a Linux job - especially an entry-level one (these are basically non-existent where I live). I've even considered

Awesome! It would be great if there was also a way to make the window transparent, if so, maybe we could change the transparency level by pressing something like Cmd+Scroll to change the alpha level of the window under the mouse cursor (I a

It's kinda ironic that they posted this on X. If they really care about privacy and freedom, why are they still active on X, a platform run by an insane person?
