Way to go, Smith!

The “right to preserve fertility” is kind of a weird and wrong reason here but the intention and the implementation are great so still good enough. Letting minors make decisions like that is crazy and stupid. I’d say the legal age of adulthood (18 in most countries) is not big enough nowadays for this particular kind of decisions but it’s a completely different story.

Nothing can be considered a lie without proof which you guys most likely don’t have.

I suppose it has to do with the widespread belief that admins of an instance can be prosecuted for illegal text and imagery posted by their users.

I highly disagree with that. Admins of commercial platforms technically have higher risks due to higher attention from the government and sometimes more legal restrictions (e. g. gatekeepers). Also the FOSS community is not necessarily known for compliance but rather the opposite. I believe it’s more about the personalities of the admins and the nature of the community itself, especially since many of the social platforms in question are less serious of projects than enormous businesses which leads to the increased feel of freedom and confidence amongst the developers and admins (makes them feel like they can be themselves and do whatever they want).

Everything else seems like points I completely agree with.

I think it’s because more cutting-edge options are not anywhere near as easy to set up and use.

Also visit flatpak.org for more information about how stable distros get around the old packages issue.

Ok Wayland shill.

I think Windows 10 going EOL is a good opportunity for Linux. People know how objectively bad Windows 11 is and how intrusive Microsoft ads can be.

I’m all in for terminal games. GUI games are bloat.

Ok so it’s basically a yet another point of fragmentation. Nice.

How is it different to runit or openrc?

It’s not really complicated. It’s called “pushing not ready software to production”.

Well I’m glad you haven’t experienced it on the platforms you use. I personally did (and it’s not just about Lemmy and Mastodon) and saw others reporting it so that’s why my opinion is different. Though I agree it’s not always the case and some instances/platforms can be better than others.

What’s the point of removing NVENC support for Kepler? Is there a CVE in old drivers or something?

Hmm it could’ve been that. But also I saw a research paper and Intel won in almost every category there too.

The tests I saw reported significantly higher performance on Intel. I’m really bad at searching stuff ngl. But that means Intel has pretty much 0 benefits nowadays so AMD is simply better for regular users and gamers.

Debian is not a beginner distro. It requires some knowledge and advanced setup. Mint is the default for new users nowadays.

SteamOS for PC is long outdated and similar distros are made specifically for handheld hardware. Go for a general desktop or gaming distro instead.

As I said, only in high end. I’m talking about i9s here and whatever the new name is. AMD just doesn’t keep up. Though it could already change. I’m not so sure.

I saw some Reddit posts claiming AMD being not optimized for Linux particularly for arch related distros (I use EndeavourOS)

This is literally the other way around.

But in general it depends on the budget. Both Intel and AMD work perfectly on Linux. It’s more about the CPUs themselves. AMD is better in the budget category because of much more capable iGPUs and performance/price ratio but Intel is better in high end because of simply better technological advancement (as long as you can keep the chip cooler than 90°C).

But if it keeps working for a long time, like 6+ years, then I don’t mind investing.

I wouldn’t be so optimistic about modern laptops, especially ones with dedicated GPUs. They don’t live for more than 2-3 years without repairs.

That said, no idea why you would have this type of issue. Do you have BTRFS? With Timeshift? If so, you should have the option to boot into an earlier version, as it was before the update.

Other file systems have backups working perfectly fine.
