It's not really a demerit of FreeBSD given their lesser resources (and even less vender support) than Linux. Most of the major ethernet chipsets for networking you'd expect to find in a server are well supported and the system is

There's also BlueBuild [1] which abstracts the process of building your own images away further into yaml configurations. It takes away a tad bit of the direct control of the process, but covers the majority of things you would want to

Always a possibility with any distro, but the tooling around it is flexible and repeatable. If another group of people wanted to continue off where they left off it would be far more possible than a lot of the Ubuntu forks. Just need the At

From a marketing perspective perhaps, but it's still a supported LTS release of Ubuntu at heart and having two different version numbers would create ambiguity. Things that should work on that particular Ubuntu LTS should work in Pop_O

Debian repo proper worked fine, but I hit a problem with an application that wasn't playing nice (Zed would just stop accepting text input...) with X11/Gnome and Wayland is a bad time on the 535/550 Nvidia drivers. Realistica

I consider myself pretty technically literate, and not the worst at programming (though certainly far from the very best). Even so I can spend plenty of time arguing with LLMs which will give me plausible looking but extremely broken answer

Just never managed to load the Nvidia module properly and fell back to the open drivers which don't work on my system. Didn't really feel like investigating further because the whole point of using Debian was going to be to setup

The Nvidia CUDA repos are still on Debian 12 as well which was a blocker for me. (Some claim it works fine anyways, but not in my experience.) It's not like the Debian release schedule is a secret, I suspect there's just less corp

The server browser is deliberately hidden, neglected, and full of spam on the modern versions of CS. It's no longer the "default" way to play, and only a select amount of people get around to using it. Despite a much larger p

They're prioritizing correctness to the spec over speed and are still 'officially' in pre-alpha. It's still to be determined how well they can bridge the gap there. For casual web browsing it's plenty fast enough al

I'm sure in larger codebases it can get unwieldy with tons of TODOs from a lot of different people, but for personal projects I've always found them a good compromise. For me it's saying "yeah I know it could be better b

I do love the joke, but it is worth remembering as well that all of those S were to a certain extent afterthoughts to fix otherwise insecure protocols. Given how old FTP and HTTP are it's fairly understandable that they weren't in

There's a pretty big gap between "make it work" and "make it good". I've found with LLMs I can usually convince them to get me at least something that mostly works, but each step compounds with excessive amount

It's greatly improved with Flathub's "Verified apps" [1] implementation, but you can make similar arguments about downstream packaging (e.g. from distros) not being clear about being independent of "offical" bu

I'd probably flip the order, but to a certain extent I don't disagree. In theory, if there's a truely competitive market (has such a thijg evwr actually existed for anything?) it shouldn't matter what a particular store

I feel like (with no research) these interfaces were designed by programmers first and foremost and have a tight coupling to the actual underlying code. A "well designed" interface with "good" UI/UX from a proper de

Properly levereged GUI editors have the potential to use the extra refresh rate for smother animations/smooth scrolling, though that's pretty far away from Emacs territory.

Perhaps when increasing efforts in implementing spyware directly into your OS it would be good to dilute the namespace as to not find relevant information. Either that or someone's giving a not so subtle hint. I do think the program is

Even more relevant is that you can "fork" Bazzite relatively simply and add any missing packages or configuration you need to your own custom image and let GitHub actions do most of the infra work for you https://univer

The Nvidia container toolkit works pretty much out of the box on WSL these days as well. Funny that some cuda stuff works better through Windows virtualizing Linux than Windows natively, but if we're being honest even as a native Linux

I don't particularly disagree, but rather I've viewed the AUR as having value in that you can change build options (for instance enabling/disabling features) that may not exist in pre-existing binary builds. The distribution

I found it a more practical alternative to the Arch AUR in many cases (especially the -bin packages which don't have any benefit of being a part of a "build" system anyways) Similar (perhaps slightly lower given verification

I can kinda see the point there, but in the lottery example there's at least a possibility of making contact at a later date. The bus is irreversible and sudden. I'd say the lottery example works for example with skills/knowl
