Just make a better browser… you literally pioneered RUST

Insert generic joke about politicians

“Bobby Tables we like to call him”

Well, I’ve been using it as my daily driver for the past year and it has been fun. I’ve watched support gradually increase for the hardware, with it now having support for speakers webcam and Vulcan!

It runs great (am on KDE) although of late I’ve been having some graphical glitches on flatlpacks.

Also of note, the battery life is worse (a “mere” 10 hours on a 13” M1 MacBook Pro) but still perfectly acceptable (depending on your use case)

While PSU doesn’t matter for Linux compatibility, please, please buy a good one from a reputed brand. If you’re going high end, get at least an 80 plus gold PSU

Piped has been having problems with it lately. Pretty sure it’s YouTube cracking down on FOSS alternative APIs

How the hell did shareholders even allow such a ridiculous thing? If I owned shares at Starbucks I’d be livid

I’ve been using Linux between 2018-2020 and on and off between 2020-2023 and regained daily status on November last year. It’s been great, but some things like lacking a proper office replacement (Only Office (FOSS), FreeOffice (Free as in beer), and WPS Office (Free as in beer) are all getting closer) are a bit limiting. Some stuff like lacking VRR and HDR were annoying (getting fixed now) and gaming has been improving. Game compatibility sometimes is a bit of a sore spot, but it’s been getting ever easier and honestly, haven’t had issues with NVIDIA drivers under wayland

Fedora isn’t all that easy for a complete noob to install NVIDIA proprietary drivers

Uranium is not that rare. Doesn’t Canada have quite a bit of it? Portugal used to mine it too, as well as several countries in Africa

They still haven’t an arm64 version :( such a build was apparently considered but ultimately not made

An open source architecture that implements a reduced instruction Set, in order to simplify design and cut costs. Still in its infancy

Hanna Montana Linux, just for giggles

How recent is your computer? Debian based distros, due to their focus on stability tend to have quite old packages, namely kernels

Manjaro has had a few flaky things happen with their organisation, so I wouldn’t trust them, Endeavour OS is apparently a decent alternative to them.

OpenSuse is apparently pretty good, am yet to move to Linux for gaming (will next month when I build myself a new machine lol, might go with fedora, which is what I use on my laptop)

It’s about once a semester (the updates) and I’ve only personally seen one, but it was fairly painless. Regarding your other questions, no idea

Something with KDE would be ideal for you. I personally use fedora, as it has a very modern yet fairly stable software cycle with one major release every semester

But you did have sex with me

I think the FOSS drivers support it? https://mesamatrix.net/ Seems to say that it’s supported, ut I’m not sure

Immich. Just found out about it, still gotta try, but looks good, an app that allows you to configure a Google Photos like app locally hosted, with automatic phone backups
