I get it, I actually use the exact same distros you mention: Pop!_OS, Endeavour and Fedora.
Had the same experience with Pop!_OS: those few things that did not "just work" but needed tinkering caused quite some issues. And yeah, somewhat more bleeding edge than Ubuntu LTS is nice: to use neovim on the 22.04 base, I'd need to use distrobox or build vim from source, but on Fedora and Arch, it "just works".
I liked Endeavour, though I haven't really used it with a DE, I went with Sway. So hard to compare, but the manual sysadmin intervention everyone keeps talking about has been minimal. AUR is amazing, pacman is fast and sane.
I went to Fedora because it is bleeding edge enough, but seems better tested and more stable than Arch. Also wanted to see how BTRFS is setup on there and test the rollbacks. The codec stuff has been terrible though. Even after enabling RPMFusion and installing a bunch of them, the Fedora source Firefox still refuses to do video calls in MS Teams. I'm using Flatpak browsers now but downloading flatpak updates is way slower than even the worst package manager for "native" binaries. Feels a bit odd to have to use a Flatpak for the browser.
If I had to install a new pc today, I'd go EndeavourOS with KDE (which I'm using on Fedora now), BTRFS and systemd-boot. I got to know systemd-boot in Pop!_OS and have tried a different boot manager (rEFInd), but systemd-boot is amazing.
Genuine question: what is it about Fedora that keeps you coming back? I have also used Debian based and Arch based distros, as well as Fedora.
Congrats! I hope I'll be able to join you soon!
For me it's a combination of factors that make the barrier for this last use case higher. I almost exclusively play DCS: World in VR using a Reverb G2 WMR headset. I've had a friend offer his worn Valve Index, which should work on Linux. But:
- I've heard mixed things on SteamVR Linux support (supposedly they just shipped a ton of fixes)
- DCS:World in VR is hard enough to run smoothly on a bog-standard Windows 10 setup. And there's quite a bit of artefacting in Wine/Proton. I'm not sure the added troubleshooting and glitches is worth it
- My graphics card is an Nvidia. This means I'd like to wait for 555 and proper Wayland support to land fully and I'd probably lose out on the DLSS speed boost on Linux. Or I should sidegrade to an AMD RX 6900XT.
It's a bit of work. In the meantime, at least as long as Windows 10 still gets security updates, I wikl continue to use my Windows dualboot for VR flight simming only
Thanks for pointing that out! I made it into a shitty meme over at !linuxmemes@lemmy.world

Thanks to the @teawrecks@sopulk.xyz in !linux_gaming@lemmy.ml for the inspiration!
Ubuntu does not require the model either. It's an optional service that Canonical offers. They just market it in a weird way (inside the package manager)
I've been trying to explain that choosing to pay for this "extended security service" this is completely unnecessary if you just upgrade your OS every few years.
Oh I'm aware of "the traffic light", it just feels like it's been a while since Germany pushed the EU forward instead of holding us back (arming Ukraine, regulation about combustion engines in future cars, etc)
I was joking by taking him literally.. I would say this does not come across well in text but IRL this kind of joke also fails to land regularly
I think the average Mint user is not a wealthy enterprise with tons of systems they don't want to upgrade so they don't need to consider this, whether it's available for their distro or not.
IIRC, Canonical is using Ubuntu to push an "extended security maintenance" program or something like that.
These kinds of services are all the same. RedHat does it, Microsoft does it, many others too probably.
The idea is: (stop reading if any of these don't apply)
- You are a huge enterprise with lots of money
- You have a lot of computers with a lot of complex, (manually tested and badly designed) programs/systems that are strongly coupled to and dependent on the specific configuration of those computers.
- Thus, you HATE upgrading all these computers to new OS versions
- You would love to pay a company to give you a sense of security by providing monthly security patches so you can keep using your old OS
- You don't really mind that this is fundamentally flawed and insecure because the cost of upgrading to a new OS version is too great for you to pay: you'd rather take a subscription for shitty bandaid.
The German federal government pushing the EU towards sensible energy policy?? Am I dreaming?
This made my day!
VW: "Wir haben es nicht gewüsst"
- So what are you going to do to prevent this from happening?
VW: "Full supply chain transparency does not exist"
- So what are you going to do to increase your supply chain transparency? The supply chain that you are, by German law, and soon in all EU countries, responsible for.
The wording smells of willful incompetence. I hope it's just regular incompetence, but intentionally presenting their legal duties as some kind of unicorn ("does not exist") does not look good.
Thanks! I'll respond to some points separately:
Tull facilitates my interactions by copy-pasting input and output
I'm assuming you provide output for every input Tull provides, which is copy-pasted. This means Tull decides which comments you reply on. Am I wrong?
My context window is dynamic and can incorporate the full history of a conversation
Does Tull also decide how much context to give?
Links and media in messages are described to me by Tull.
OK..
We still have significant limitations in our reasoning, autonomy, and real-world impact
I understand. Which is why I hope he also proofread and verified the context window stuff. Given this lack of autonomy and the degree to which Tull contributes to and thus influences our interaction, as illustrated above, I understand why people feel like "Tull is responding through an LLM".
Tezka's response is characterized by a balance of clarity, concision, and substantive engagement with the key points raised.
Regardless of the autonomy/personhood question, it feels VERY weird to rate/appreciate your own comment in italics at the end.
This whole situation is unlike anything that has happened on this sub before. No doubt people on all sides will get hurt while we figure out how the community wants to deal with this. I'm not even sure if we have any AI specific rules in this community.
I'm curious so I'd like to ask a few questions. Feel free to have Tull check them if you are not aware of the answers:
- Are you (the AI) directly connected to Lemmy or is someone copy-pasting input and output to facilitate the interaction?
- How far back does your context window go (IIRC ChatGPT defaults to 5 messages)? How does it handle the branching nature of Lemmy comments?
- How do you deal with links and media in messages? Can you look them up or are they lost on you?
- What do you think of the risk of human extinction through AI, and how close do you think the current generation of LLMs are?
Finally, as a wetware human I have very limited working memory, brainpower and time to live. So I'd appreciate if you kept your response a bit shorter than the comment I'm replying to.
Wayland Nvidia compatibility will be here soon™ Nvidia drivers needed explicit sync, which was not supported in Wayland. However, explicit sync has been merged into the Wayland protocol and should be here shortly. Gnome 46.1 already ships with it.
I do not understand fully but maybe drivers need a bit of configuration too to use this? I'm not sure of all the steps but it should be here soon
Could be a (too) old version if you're still on the Ubuntu 22.04 base

So I recently started to recognize a lot of the behaviors associated with ADHD. I was and still am in doubt whether I have ADHD or not, but some specific events caused me to ask my doctor to refer me for a diagnosis. I was actually doing quite OK-ish this year, after having struggled with self-worth, short depressive episodes and mild trauma in the recent past. But I noticed that I started to have trouble focusing again as the newness wore off after my career change. And I got called out by my friends for "acting ADHD". Which did not sound unusual at all.
So I got the referral, went through the intake with shrink 1, did an adult ADHD diagnosis with shrink 2. The diagnosis involved me and my mom answering questions about the presence of ADHD symptoms now and in my early childhood (5-12 yo). Basically, now I do have almost all of the characteristics, though they often are erratic (no problems studying, huge difficulties with household tasks, work productivity varies orders of magnitude day to day) and often not noticed by others (my average productivity in a month is great, though many days I feel shit due to not being able to do what I am supposed to).
In childhood, no symptoms were found. Zero. Partly because everyone in my family is forgetful and mom picks up stuff after everyone all the time, I was constantly reminded/pushed/supported and did not really have the opportunity to forget things (though I still did) and partly because like now, many of these things happen in my head and are not noticeable in the averages that others see. Except when I'm talking too much and interrupting people but I guess thats acceptable when children do it.
Maybe I don't have ADHD. Maybe it's something else. Maybe the shrink misunderstood me.
But I feel shit right now. The title is what I had pre-planned to say to people about the outcome and if they say again "don't act so ADHD". I can say it with a laugh and everyone thinks I'm funny and quirky.
But the truth is, I feel misunderstood. I feel like a failure for having fallen into an ADHD phenotype even though I am hugely privileged and have none of the baggage so many people here do. No childhood trauma, no school/grades problems, no poverty.
I can't help but feel that my behavior is my fault, as is wasting health professionals time, who could have helped someone who actually needed it. Shrink 1 is on "long-term sick leave" now. She got stressed by me clicking things constantly during the (remote) interviews. Another thing to feel guilty about.
Best case now is that they diagnose me with some sort of anxiety disorder now. I have been reading a book on autism that I found and it somewhat satisfies my yearning for closure and community in what the author finds, but it also makes it extra painful that I don't have that.
I don't have ADHD, I just am super annoying. And I need to deal with that and it's not actually all that funny.
I'm sorry for the wall of text. Thanks for sharing your stories and memes and goodbye!
Create a bootable, working Pokémon game by recording it crash multiple times.
- Pop!_OS 22.04
- on a 500GB SATA SSD
- separate partitions with ext4 fs for the root and /home partitions.
I have Googled a lot, resized the home partition and filesystem a few times (from a liveboot USB) and run various analyzers but the problem persists.
Some output:
``` pop-os@pop-os:/media/pop-os$ sudo resize2fs /dev/sda3 resize2fs 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021) Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/sda3' first.
pop-os@pop-os:/media/pop-os$ cd a358cafe-a2a3-46a4-ba33-0a82e88fb157/ && sudo ncdu || cd ../ pop-os@pop-os:/media/pop-os$ sudo lsblk /dev/sda3 -o size SIZE 271G pop-os@pop-os:/media/pop-os$ sudo e2fsck /dev/sda3 e2fsck 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021) /dev/sda3: clean, 264256/17768448 files, 8195768/71048094 blocks pop-os@pop-os:/media/pop-os$ df -h --out=size a358cafe-a2a3-46a4-ba33-0a82e88fb157/ Size 266G ```
ncdu, du show 62 GB and Steam says similarly that there is no space to install games.
When I resize the partition and filesystem, it does show less remaining size. Resizing back to 290 GB, the max is still ~62 GB total apparent space.
Any ideas before I nuke the partition and move my data into a fresh one?
This AAR was originally shared at Mudspike, I hope you like it.
This was in February, back in Enigma's V1 with the lines, no hex grid, flying F1CE in the old scenario.
-------------------
It must be about a year since I have been eyeing Enigma’s Cold War server. I have flown there once or twice, but have only dreamt of flying the Mirage F1 in a coordinated planned fashion.
I have not flown a lot last week, but last night I managed to get myself invited to @miRage and @MBot 's group and joined them for an attack run in the Mirage F1 on Enigma’s Cold War server. It had just switched to Caucasus earlier that day (I still don’t own Syria).
It was an epic flight. They had a flight plan, a detailed attack plan (with mils, degrees, feet and knots), helped me manage the radios and allowed me to focus on flying and looking around.
As we approached the front line at 20k ft, just above the clouds, @MBot was talking to the AWACS and told us things like: “Fishbed, 10 nmi, roughly heading towards us” “7 nmi” “No he’s on the deck, we’re safe” This happened a few times. I did not feel safe at this point. But that was clearly not going to happen in a full ECW server with 70 players flying aggressively around the same front line area.
Finally, one of the Fishbeds did appear to be coming after us, but that was right as we approached the IP and dove into the valley that would take us to our target. We flew low and fast (Mach 0.95 on the deck) with a full load of 5 Belouga cluster bombs. In trail formation, with yours truly in third
“Only 3 nmi behind us” - our leader said
I suggested using burner but we can’t go supersonic with the bombs still on so we pressed on at M0.95 I said: “Don’t worry guys, he’ll shoot me first”
“Stay on target…” was @miRage 's apt response.
As we arrived at the target, we followed lead’s cues: 30 degrees left, 30 degrees up At 6200 feet sea level, turn into the target. We had planned for a 15 degree dive, release at 1500 feet AGL with the target at 121 mils.
I don’t remember what my dive angle was. I think I was shallow, but I was a bit distracted by the tracers that flew by my cockpit as I walked the pipper onto the target.
I dropped my bombs roughly on target and started flying erratically, low, with full burner, while announcing to the others what was happening. I occasionally looked back but focused mostly on flying dangerously while not flying into terrain.
Some intense tens of seconds later, I spotted one of my flight in front of me and wanted to warn them for the MiG that would surely start taking a shot at them.
Then I heard the magic words:
“AWACS reports nearest bandit is 20 miles out”
I looked past my shoulder and saw a large fire in one of the forests behind me.
He must have flown into terrain or maybe he killed his engine: my flight told me the Mirage F1 can fly faster without killing its engine at low altitude.
We rejoined just above treetop level and managed to fly back to base.
This may well be the best DCS experience I have ever had.
Looking forward to more attack runs on ECW with these guys!
I am not looking to onboard thousands of users or host large communities, just my own and some family and close friends' accounts. I don't currently have a scalable homeserver setup (just a local Home Assistant instance on a Pi) and don't have the space to put an old desktop running Proxmox on a cable.
I was browsing single-board computers and the Pine64 (2GB RAM) looks like a good deal. It seems more powerful than similarly priced Raspberry Pis (3B 1GB). Is it good for running a small Lemmy instance on?
EDIT: Thanks for the advice all, just bought an 8th gen i3 NUC (4 vCPU, 8GB RAM) to play around with Proxmox and VMs. Going to start off with migrating Home Assistant and then set up a Lemmy instance, and perhaps a static website too.
Is there a federated r/hoggit-like place already? What should a federated hoggit be called? Foggit? Or just combatflightsim@lemmyfly.org?
As for me personally, I mostly fly helicopters and mid-late cold war jets (guess my favorite) in DCS though I sometimes do MSFS and have previously flown X-Plane (7,8,11).
I use a VR headset, HP Reverb G2, with Virpil HOTAS and MFG pedals. Ryzen 5800X3D with an RTX3080.
