And I get totally different results. It not just the distro. It the version of the Kernel, the version of proton, whether you are using X or Wayland etc. Etc. Etc. The very point I am making is that it is so variable. So posting benchmarks

If I admit to anything less than doing a gamer nexus style benchmarking suite you will just claim it is an anecdote. I have actually tested on a number of different distros and display managers and at least two different video card chipset

The complexity is hidden. I don't require all the gumph. I just gave bash and a Debian install. Pretending the rube goldberg machine isn't one because you've hidden it behind a facia doesn't mean it isn't one. When

They mean "custom" as "pre-configured to do <X>" where X is gaming. Generally most distributions are not pre-configured outside of a general suite of standard applications.

Well that is the issue. The experience varies quite a lot depending on a number of factors. Whereas on Windows it doesn't really vary. I have an all AMD machine and almost all the games will run the same or better on Windows. I have fr

These sort of derivative distros seem to be aimed at Windows 11 Refugees. I am not a fan of these derivative distros and I would always recommend using one of the mainline distros e.g Debian, Arch, Fedora etc. I am using Debian 13 for gamin

That just isn't true. While it is very good now, it is not faster and more stable than Windows. I have performance issues on Linux that just don't happen on Windows.

I confused Jae-woo (a Korean name) with Jaecoo. I think I must have mis-spelled the name when googling them after seeing the Dealership near me. However I do remember Daewoo, I don't think there many left on UK roads. https:/&#x

I mixed these brands up. Thanks for the correction. They (Jaecoo) opened a dealership 20 minutes from where I am.

It isn't just Chinese EVs there are Korean brands on the road e.g. Jaewoo. https://jaecoo.co.uk/ I'm in the UK and the only new Fords I see are these huge F250/F350 which make my 4x4 (which is relatively smal

There was once a fad of young women (usually in recruitment) posting their holiday photos. Usually they were wearing revealing outfits, one was wearing something so revealing I could see her lingerie. This was a fad for about 6 months on Li

But almost anyone who lives in the UK would know who you were referring to. So you are just using a euphemism, which is arguably worse.

It is perfectly obvious to me and to the vast majority of people. That is why they didn't bother defining it further. > An ox & cart fits the bill for "machine" with that lens No it doesn't. I don't think you

Calling them travellers and/or gypsies (I know they are technically different groups of people but generally the terms are often used interchangeably) is not in itself a slur.

I don't think that is true and I don't really care. The browser works properly, it has ad-blocking built in and it is trivial to turn off the other nonsense in the browser.

What you are describing is not piracy/Copyright infringement. You can say that we should not be blocking those ads, that is fine. But blocking ads is not making unauthorised copies of the content.

I run Brave (Android) on my phone and don't have any ads on Youtube. I think it worked on Brave iOS but I sold my iPhone last year. I let Brave run in the background and it seems to work fine.

Hey, Only 50% of one of my thumbnails are AI generated Garbage! I do agree it is annoying. Some people do it quite a lot with car work videos to make the car look in far worse than it is.

There seem to be one group of people that seem to take offence by people being hyperbolic (which this is) and another group of people that aren't. I personally find it baffling why anyone would be bothered by that comment.

"Mostly" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. FreeBSD also mostly works out of the box also. I am quite familiar with the BSDs. I've tried NetBSD, OpenBSD and FreeBSD when I used to muck around with this stuff daily.

They said Bluray and DVD. Some of us have quite a few DVD/Blurays that we could rip. A lot of good stuff can be found in bargain bins and closing down sales (I got all the 9 series of the X-files for next to nothing). I am personally

I ditched all the services years ago and use a similar setup. Works well enough for me.
