You could also wait a few weeks or months and then put the latest version of the distro you’d prefer on your USB stick and just boot from it to see if your issues have been fixed

Do you happen to moderate any discord servers by chance?

Pretty sure they’re talking about making a distro, not forking the Linux kernel. I don’t see any reason why they would need to fork it anyway.

Using the iGPU might save power but the resolution doesn’t need to be turned down for that

I might install it again too, I haven’t played since the second week or so after it released. I currently have my hands full with Satisfactory tho.

I really enjoyed it the first one or two weeks but after I basically finished all the content it was just a grind for primogens and I stopped playing 😕

Whaaaaat…? In a time of economic struggles, companies would rather support fascists than risk letting socialism take over? This certainly never happened before, especially not in Germany.

Germany doesn’t even follow the EU’s minimum wage

There’s a lot of FOSS music apps that just use YTMusic, like ViMusic or the ones other people mentioned in their replies. For maps, I use Organic Maps, the only thing I feel like is missing from it is traffic jams but I think you can see why that would be hard to add. It does have features that Google Maps doesn’t have tho.

If you buy a used one, you can probably get it a good but cheaper as well

I think there’s also similar devices to a Raspberry Pi that are cheaper

You can disable COW for specific files btw

It means you don’t have to release the source code of your software if you use the source code of the open source project

Wouldn’t a home router with Windows cost way more because of the licence?

The Deutsche Bahn uses Linux for the displays in their trains, that show you the next stops, at least. Saw the systemd startup thingy on one of those displays once when the train restarted while I was in it.

A Minecraft Earth clone using this would be fucking awesome, maybe I’ll get around to making it one day

Couldn’t you just compare the energy usage of Laptops or desktop PCs with native support running Linux compared to the energy usage when running Windows on them? I have a PC with an AMD GPU and CPU so my hardware is fully supported, I could actually test it. I think a laptop would be better to test on tho, since a desktop PC might not be trying to use as little power as possible in the first place.

I run models like Stable Diffusion and Llama with ROCm but models like RealESRGAN for upscaling or Rife for interpolation with Tencents Vulkan thingy (forgot what it’s called) and that’s far easier. Would be cool if LLMs and stuff could just be run with Vulkan too.

Pipewire-pulse (or whatever the package is called) is the drop-in replacement for pulseaudio that makes apps, that normally use pulseaudio, use pipewire instead. You can’t have both installed. You can have pipewire and pulseaudio installed at the same time but your system can only use one of them at a time.

Wait, did you replace pipewire-pulse with pulseaudio?
