no actually the library thing is always a factor it’s exhausting to get in a pile of irrelevant packaging issues reported for some distro that doesn’t fulfill required dependencies . those issues need to go to the packager instead. or they just have to accept using 3 year old applications

in this decade my worst Linux experience has been attempting to digitally sign a document what a wasteland of decrepit and poorly documented tools

I don’t think I’ve ever had a debian major upgrade go well. always easier to reinstall, but the stakes are so low on my own devices

looking forward to it, sddm is the only thing I have left that depends on xorg directly

releasing 24.04 as an LTS at the tail end of 2025 is kinda funny

“it’s not for desktop use”

virtmanager and boxes for qemu/kvm have freed me from the accursed Oracle product and it’s dkms modules

security or ease , pick one

will it work? probably. will you have to downgrade more often than any other GPU vendor? also probably

Unfortunately, due to GNOME Foundation issues, this work never fully materialized.

classic

why would var have such a restraint? reminds me of overly complex tutorials tricking people into elaborate partitioning schemes

what else is there to compare to, windows?

this from the people that stonewalled server side decorations in wayland

the few times Ive seen perms really go awry was from new users running sudo on everything, even wine. definitely took a fair bit of cleanup

the result is a perpetually growing pile of bandaids and things never getting fixed properly whether it’s in badly behaved games or drivers or things that should get addressed in wine and won’t be

it’s wine with bubble wrap, dxvk, and a shit ton of game specific hacks

I use !aur a lot to go look at pkgbuild history

only for extraordinarily cursed situations where games need it in wine/proton

I saw two pkgbuild from the user, I don’t really know what I’m looking at in pkgbuilds generally but these were dead obvious something was bogus . downloading arbitrary files from some url like (segs)(dot)(lol) hopefully sufficiently defanged

don’t these distros package a Wayland session you can select at the greeter/ login window?
