Yeah, liking zypper so far, except that it decided I must have forgotten to install the games and kde-games patterns which I deselected during install because I'll never use them (my games are pretty much all on steam, I've got no real interest in the built-in ones). Blocked them but now it's warning me about that every time I update, which is a bit obnoxious, but I'm sure I'll either figure it out or learn to not care about that
Yeah, the sneaky crap with snaps makes me want to avoid them all by itself, I left Windows to get away from that kind of forced decision. The Amazon thing was pretty bad too.
The last straw came when I evaluated it vs Debian for a home server, first update after install and it threw a scare warning making it sound like my system would be insecure if I didn't pay for pro, and I'm just so not into that kind of manipulative bullshit. I shut down the VM and deleted it immediately and I'll never touch them by choice again.
If I understand them correctly, doesn't boosting 1% lows have a bigger impact on the smoothness of the game than the overall? Boosting the high of 60 up to 80 if the lows are around 30 is still going to feel a bit jagged, but boosting that 30 to 40 is going to do a lot more to smooth it out.
I haven't read the article, being perfectly honest, but it targeting 1% lows makes this better, not worse, like OP seems to suggest
Went the other way, moved from Mint 22.3 to OpenSuSE Tumbleweed. Rolling release with solid testing before updates are pushed, any breakage during testing and they don't push that day's update, and if something does slip through and break things, just boot into the pre-update snapshot and wait a day to try again with the next patches.
Up to date packages with low hassle, so as long as I don't need stable-as-in-never-changes, it's great.
Also, nice to have KDE 6 finally and to have KDE not be a forgotten afterthought (Cinnamon is nice but I always feel like I'm limited compared to KDE)
I did read the thread. I was responding more to this:
Would we give it the same scrutiny and pushback? Probably not, because most people don't smoke these days and that expectation has been normalized.
So, no, we wouldn't, because it's an actually defensible protection of the property to prohibit something that clearly causes permanent damage while the other is simply being at home all day. And only specifically at home while working, which makes it even less defensible since the act of sitting at your computer typing and clicking your mouse to work is no more destructive to the unit than sitting at your computer typing and clicking your mouse to post on Facebook or play a game.
Smoking causes damage to the unit. Damage which costs the landlord a lot of money to fix, and it'll never be fully purged.
Working on your computer for 8 hours does not. It would be no different from staying home and playing games all day as far as the condition of the unit is concerned.
No, see, Xwindows is the newer version of Windows... They usually put the version letter first but decided that Wwindows would confuse people so they left the leading letter off on that release.
The latest version is Ywindows, commonly known by its codename "Wayland".
Least Favorite: Gnome, but I've not tried a ton... It's slick but way too opinionated for my tastes. I could change most of what bothers me about it with add-ons and mods, but KDE gives me the controls I want out of the box, and lets you do damned near anything you want before you even start installing mods (I don't understand the person who thinks it's too limited and Gnome is more flexible, but different priorities, I guess)
First DE: KDE on XanderOS... To be fair, the name sounded cool to young me and I didn't know much of anything about the different Linux distros yet. And I think Ubuntu either wasn't around yet or hadn't gotten well enough known for me to have spotted it initially
Honorable Mention: Unity... Love it or hate it, Ubuntu was trying something actually interesting and I think it's a shame they didn't stick with it longer
Current DE: KDE
Potential Future DE: not sure, KDE does everything I want at this time, but I might give Cosmic a try, and/or a tiling WM, though I suspect I won't care for it (I'll give it a real shot to convince me, I just don't see the appeal)
Longest used DE: KDE
Current distro: Mint with KDE shoehorned in, though will be OpenSuSE Tumbleweed in a couple hours (I love Mint but I'm tired of fighting with old packages and drivers, and suspect that might be the cause of graphics stack crashes that have plagued me... Also because I'm tired of waiting for KDE 6 for years now and it'll be probably mid next year still before it's available on Mint, and even then still only as an afterthought)
If only there was some sort of device that would allow you to input those commands without interfering with others, or vice versa... But it's probably just a dream...

Dammit, learning about this right after switching from Mint to OpenSuSE
Didn't think I'd like it that much but so far I've really been happy with it
It does also update Cinnamon add-ons (spices I think?) and Flatpaks, which apt doesn't handle
Shit, I rarely even hear about or run across these trailers before they've been out at least a few days
Definitely a 2 or a 3... At the exact moment, literally a 2

You've never saved contacts like that?
The phone was Albert Einstein
I can't decide if this is brilliant or insane.
Or both.

Hence, they're not even remotely comparable.

Holy shit that's so depressingly relatable

I'm not sure they've even cleared that bar, to be honest
You mean semi-sexual?
