I love buying music of artists I find on Bandcamp. I get lossless quality audio, and I get to support the artist. Granted, it is best to do the bandcamp fridays because more money goes to the artist.
However I hate that Epic now owns Bandcamp, and has for a while.
AI isn’t a magic bullet. Sure it has it’s uses, but you have to weigh it’s usefulness to the ideology behind a project and it’s creators. Just because a software developer or community doesn’t embrace AI doesn’t mean they will be “obsolete.”
AI is the current trend that is being shoehorned into everything. I mean literally everything. I don’t think we need AI touching everything.
I don’t want or need AI crammed into my desktop environment. And I surely don’t want it interjecting into my filesystem with my data. It is a privacy concern. And many of other people will feel the same or similarly as I do.
AI is a tool, and with all tools: use the appropriate tool for the job.
While I can see the merit of your sentiment here, and would generally agree the world exists on a spectrum and not some binary scale of yes or no, black or white. Like others have said, with mottos like “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish” how can one ignore the bad that Microsoft brings to the table.
Microsoft just like many other big tech companies are shoehorning AI into everything. It’s a new fad, and if it isn’t a fad, this is how idiocracy starts IRL.
Oh no judgment, purely curiosity here.
I have used both, but have stuck with nano. Why do you personally choose micro over nano?
The fact that you keep the spirit of linux here by making it available to all is beautiful. I will definitely take a look!
Just disable the driver for touch input
To add to this, another piece of this is: who are you that would make someone consider your picks over some other Joe schmoe ? Not saying your opinion doesn’t matter, but what I’m saying is what would make your opinion hold any weight to anyone reading? Your reasoning may help, but you didnt give that.
Posting tier lists with no context isnt helpful…
Without going into details on why you rank each distro the way you did, its just useless and baseless… Not helpful to anyone, at all, for any reason. Am I going to consult it for my next project? Absolutely not. I implore folks to do their own research and testing for their use case.
Yeah, have never been a fan of Brave. Not shocked.
I would fully like to erase my online presence. I dont want people seeking me out.
My damn overpriced copper missed EVGA 3090 is why I’m trapped in windows. I can’t wait to ditch it.
There are some programs I still use that are designed for Windows, but use cases are “niche” or at very least specialized:
Guitar Pro 8 - Guitar Tab software
Line 6 HX Edit - Helix Settings Editor
Line 6 Powercab Edit - Amp Settings Editoe
Line 6 Updater - Firmware Updater for Line 6 Products
Steelseries GG - Configuration Software for Steelseries Peripherals
Numerous VSTs and other Audio Plugins
These are just what I remember I use off the top of my head.
I do use Guitar Pro 8 with Wine, but the others won’t work through Wine. I did try to use the others with a Windows KVM through QEMU but I ultimately gave up and left one windows workstation because of my issues with my Nvidia RTX 3090.
I personally wouldn’t use Manjaro, especially if you plan to use anything from the AUR.
Even with X11 I have had nothing but instability sadly.
I wanted to switch to Arch like I did for my laptop, but the cons outweighed the pros ultimately for me.
Wow, I can’t believe I missed your response. Sorry for such a late reply.
General instability, absolutely. Multi display issues. And seemingly no matter what I do Wayland on KDE is basically unusable for me.
I’ve tried the open source drivers, the proprietary dkms variant, and standard proprietary drivers and all give me issues.
And here I am with a 3090 having more issues than I have time for wishing I went with an AMD card. Sadly we both can see grass ain’t necessarily greener.
Saying you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don’t care about freedom of speech because you don’t have anything to say.
