I meant from an idealistic perspective i.e a small and minimal, but featureful WM with a simple config and a built in bar, where all you reasonably need is covered, no useless extras. I think Pinnacle is trying to be an AwesomeWM replacement rather than a Spectrwm replacement. And that's great, because I love Awesome, but for very different reasons to Spectrwm.
Appreciate the posting on the 2nd to avoid April Fools speculay
That costume is an awesome way of presenting yourself to the community!
Sounds good and all, but seeing as he wasn't among the most active people since 2008, are we sure there wasn't a more qualified candidate? Nothing against the guy, I'm just saying that surely there must have been more natural choices than him.
I got quite lucky, as my first laptop when I switched to Linux, was all-AMD and I had zero AMD issues. So when I was looking for a new laptop a few months back, I stumbled upon a cheap recent Thinkpad, with great specs, all AMD, and got it ASAP. Again, zero issues. But because of the Nvidia horror stories I've heard, I knew that there would be no Nvidia on my new machine. That was non-negotiable.
Sober works great, and is the only method that still works from the ones I've tried. I think most of them stopped working because of Roblox's new Hyperion Anticheat which blocked WINE (unsure if they unblocked it at a later point as they promised, but I'd bet they didn't).
Side note: The creators of Sober also maintain a project called Vinegar, which allows for Roblox Studio to be installed under Linux (it used to be for both Player and Studio, until the anticheat for the Player was introduced)
There is hope for the Thinkpads, as the 5th Gen T14 is apparently bringing back a lot of the reparability of the older models (namely, by returning replaceable RAM). I wouldn't know, as I have a Gen 4 (not ideal, but just perfect considering how cheap I got it and how powerful it is).
Damn, the American Empire makes me glad my parents chose to move to the UK instead. Not saying our politicians are perfect, but they certainly aren't as blatantly corrupt
I found Linux because I was broke so the only laptop I could afford was a Windows 10 machine with 4GB RAM, so I looked into Linux Mint to squeeze out a more decent performance.
Yeah, but it's not a new war. It's an eternal war, and when those on top push too much, we push back. We call those stages revolutions, and maybe it's time to remind those on top that when a revolution happens, their heads get separated from their bodies. So either give us back some freedoms, or blood will be spilt. And it won't be our blood.
I'd love to use Pixelfed but as a user that looks at stuff instead of posting.
But there is no good option for a server. I'd want something nearby because speed, but my only options are (UK): A Scottish instance that will delete any accounts which haven't posted in more than 30 days, a furry instance in the UK, and an adult instance in the Netherlands.
There was a period where I was testing my laptop's hibernation so I got uptime to around 30 days.
But now, The highest uptime I can reach is around 2-3 days if I forget to turn it off and leave it either plugged in or on a high battery so it lasts until the next day.
They are removing fakespot as well, which was made to help users spot scams. THAT was valuable but nobody actually used it.
