What the heck does “more ambient” even mean?
you’ll be able to speak to your computer while you’re writing, inking, or interacting with another person. You should be able to have a computer semantically understand your intent to interact with it
God save us all…
they should buy a second ssd if they want to dual boot Linux
It’s actually not necessary, I’ve been dual-booting on the same system drive for years without any issues at all.
The only thing that’s strictly necessary in that case is knowing darn well what you’re doing.
First thing to consider is they all use the same Desktop Environments.
Unlike Windows, in Linux the “graphic” is completely separated from the operating system, any DE can be uses on any distro, so trying different distros that come with the same DE, might make you think there’s very little difference (at first look).
Second, almost all distros are derivatives, that contributes to make them feel similar. The original ones are just a bunch: Debian, Red Hat, Slackware, SuSe, Arch, Gentoo, everything else is based either on one of those or on another derivative, if your curious you can have a look at this graph: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svg.
So for example, if you take Ubuntu and Mint, they might look similar because Mint is based on Ubuntu.
If you want to see the real differences, you need to look at the original ones, the core differences are: the way software is packaged and managed, and the “philosophy” behind the way the system is overall administered, maintained and released.
Derivatives add differences to the user experience, they main reason they’re created is someone is not completely happy with the way a distro does things and they create one the meets their needs, for example, Debian is improved dramatically on the user experience lately, but many years ago was quite arduous to setup and use for non-experts, so Ubuntu was born.
Now to answer you question
as long as I choose one that gets regular updates, it doesn’t matter fundamentally?
It does matter, tho it’s not as much world-changing as some people seem to think (especially when it comes to gaming).
The most important things are support for your hardware and easy of administration/use. Most distros will recognize and setup your hardware out of the box, but some might require tinkering or extra steps. Some distros automate almost everything so the user doesn’t need to think about it, others require more knowledge and more manual intervention, you have a much finer control of your system this way at the expense of some user friendliness, it’s up to you to decide what you prefer.
Then it comes the Desktop Environment, different DEs do things differently, which one to choose is totally personal preference.
As for software, unless you go after some niche obscure distro, you shouldn’t have problems finding it in the distro repositories. For edge cases you can always use Flatpaks or AppImages.
I’ve been using it for a few years on my gaming desktop and I couldn’t be happier about it, it’s the distro that stopped my distro-hopping.
most mods dont work on linux
Mods work just fine, it’s mod managers that sometimes don’t work.
If mods don’t have manual setup instructions, I install them on Windows, copy back to Linux the mod config file and happily play on Linux.
The biggest problem NASA has is they operate under the whims of the US government, while SpaceX doesn’t.
Space research and operations require very long-term planning, you can’t change direction every 4 years, just because a new president has different ideas than the previous one, it’s already a miracle that NASA has been able to do what they’re doing in this awful conditions.
No wonder SpaceX took over. It’s not NASA’s fault but the US government.
We expect to roll out age verification processes to more regions in the future.
Why on earth do they want to apply this bullshit elsewhere? Isn’t the law UK only?
It’s a zero-day vulnerability but the article doesn’t say what it is.
Microsoft states it affects all on-premises servers, they say their cloud is not affected.
Finally an explanation that makes a lot of sense, thank you!
I removed Subnautica 2 from my wishlist the moment I read the founders were fired, and after this I surely won’t buy it.
It’s a shame tho, the first was fantastic and I had high hopes for this one (didn’t like BZ tho).
Of all the titles you could choose …
The article is interesting in that it talks about pushing towards open versions of kernel modules, instead of legacy ones, and of much broader scope that the literal 2 lines you chose as title.
Why not keeping the original?
Thanks :)
The company I work for did the same, it’s not easy to completely replace an onpremise virtual farm but we’re working on it :)
I did this when I started to use Lemmy during the reddit protest, to explain the general concept of the fediverse to reddit refugees not used to decentralized platforms: https://imgur.com/a/fediverse-redditors-fiLOmI7
It’s probably not exactly what you’re looking for but could it be a start?
It’s not ready yet (preview state) but NexusMods is developing an app for managing all their mods: https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App, for Linux they’re releasing both an appimage and a standard setup.
Didn’t Ubuntu propose the same a while ago and had to step back because of all the backslash?
Is the change coming from Red Had this time? They’re enterprise only so it’s possible they don’t care about home users whom are the ones still in need of 32bit libraries, I think big enterprises would use Windows virtual machines for that.
I’m not personally impacted since I use Linux MX on my gaming desktop (Debian based) and Debian stood up during the Ubuntu debacle to state they have no intention whatsoever to remove 32bit libraries in the foreseeable future, but it’s certainly a blow for a lot of people, I hope Fedora change their mind about it.
It is mind-blowing indeed! Especially when they said it would take 11 of those maps to show the distance between a proton and en electron, it’s inconceivable how empty even the matter we’re surrounded by is.
That’s impressive!!
It really helps put distances into perspective, I also loved the little phrases along the way :D

I think Trump open war against them helps, I mean, if you cut them our of critical supply, you push them to develop their own, they’re not stupid.
