I would have loved to take that performance before I converted my data drives to ext4, however it's just inherently not stable.

Sometimes If you have a power loss you have to run chkdsk on Windows to get out of ro mode, no?

Many retro games are better. AA games were made with heart back then & that made it possible to make games that are incredible both in terms of artistry, grandeur and gameplay. Games like Baldur's Gate 1-2, Chrono Cross etc are not possible in today's climate.

On the other hand we have been handed indie games like Celeste and Hollow Knight, so I don't know. Amazing games still exists, it's just not really comparable.

I don't know if it's a problem with experience.

I think it's mainly these two things:

-Intermingling very old Ubuntu packages with bleeding edge KDE.

-The goal is to demo & test new KDE features and other considerations are secondary.

That's not how it works. Otherwise it would correctly identify Hyprland, Labwc etc, but it tends to just print Sway for all WLR based.

You only used it for a week and already had issues and the team did not even brick your system with an update yet. xd

Neon maybe has its niche (though I question the point of User Edition), but regular users should stay very far away. Arch is far more stable and it's less effort to maintain it too. If you want stability and LTS go with Kububtu or Debian.

Neofetch would need maintenance, because it cannot deal with new WMs and DEs that came out after abandonment.

Just use Fastfetc..

Left side panel was only ever Ubuntu only, no?

I don't play my alts anymore, but used to just fly with exotics, it's fine.

, or you think every single person that age is a “vertical video crazy”.

Sounds about right to me ^

I think people that are very interested in TikTok largely overlap with the vertical video crazies :-)

Top 1 wish: no GW3

No, because you did not enable trim and firewalld by yourself. Also how dare you like Dracut? /s

They are okay, not nearly as robust as before.

I used it before, but ultimately it comes down to compatibility. Broadcomm is dominating the router space and 3rd party firmwares are a nono for that. So I just got an Asus that is supposed to be supported for a very long time.

I don't think they care, they just want to siphon your data freely given.

That's something i've been occasionally experiencing with my Amerano usb as well. Though it's a kernel related problem, because switching to pulse does not solve it, booting up a 18Lts iso does.

In fact it's a bit better on pipewire and you can also experiment with a low latency kernel.

if battery is the priority the single biggest gain I can recommend is to use xorg with compositing off. (Gnome cannot do this, KDE can, if you use a WM then don't use Picom etc)

If you can tolerate screen tearing you can save a significant amount of power while web browsing.

It's not really card related, but rather it just comes up sometimes in niche circumstances. I only had this on my second monitor and then it went away with an nvidia driver update. (since then i moved to amd)

Nvidia sycophants just call you an idiot for wasting your time on linux. :/

I was only on Arch for abit over a week just to “prove I could” but honestly didn’t see a huge upgrade over Endeavour for my personal use.

Arch, Endeavour is one and the same. So of course you wouldn't see anything.
