I’ve noticed that Steam for Windows displays download speed in mbit/s while the Linux client displays it in mbyte/s, although both display the unit as mb/s. This is a setting that can be toggled. This doesn’t account for the entire difference (1887mbit > 109mbyte) but is one contributing factor.

Ah, that’s annoying. Have you reported the issue to Valve? Seems like it’s their issue to fix. I personally haven’t encountered this issue, so I’m unable to help further, but it seems that it’s an issue with Steam’s Linux client since the rest of the system is unaffected, as I understand it.

I know people don’t actually crush living creatures in these but they make me feel so fucking bad when they pop up on my page. Just the thought is fucking disgusting.

I used this trick on my old laptop, which my dad now uses as a light gaming PC. Works well for StarCraft and Rocket League! Even DOOM (2016) works well on low/medium settings. Don’t remember which GPU but it wasn’t very high powered even when it came out in 2014.

Same, on my Debian machines I barely even think about if packages are debs or flatpaks because it’s so seamless.

Also, F-Droid recently committed to more transparency with their anti-features and many newer (and updated older) apps show a message about what the anti-feature actually entails on that particular app.

Debian also has LTS, for at least 5 years, after which an organization or company can step up to provide further updates. For example, the previous release will be maintained until 2026 and the one before that is being maintained until next year by the LTS team.

I have not gotten cloudstream to work, so I don’t know it’s similar, but I’ve used popcorn time and my friends use it regularly and are happy with it.

I like bash, it’s very standard. If you need better autocomplete I’d absolutely recommend ble.sh, which gives you an experience more similar to fish, without having to relearn the entire shell.

Look, I’ve been a fish user for years and still use it on some machines, but there are always cases where I cannot install fish, or fish is incompatible with a program I use (even via bass) or a feature I use in bash scripting works differently. Of course, I can always fix it, but it’s always faster to just drop into a bash shell. I’m also much more familiar with configuring bash than zsh and therefore that’s what I use. That’s why bash is a staple on all my systems, even my BSD machines.

I think different shells are interesting and provide unique takes on what a shell can do, but telling people to stop using something that’s so ubiquitous and useful to learn comes off as grandstanding to me.

I usually use what’s available, and has the best file size for the quality. h265 is usually the best in this regard, but I look forward to more av1 encoded content. My Jellyfin server runs on my old school computer, whicj I could buy cheaply from my school, but since it has a sub-1080p screen, it works best as a server with built in UPS for me. It also has quicksync, so I’ve never had to think about which codecs my clients support.

Scania (Skåne) also has the same flag, so that’s what I associate it with :)

Also, they’re not exclusive. I have a nas with more space but essentially no ability to transcode media, so I’ve mounted that volume via NFS on a laptop I run jellyfin which gives me excellent transcoding and a very smooth experience.

Honestly, I’m surprised that OP is being so obtuse about this. It’s clear once you’re familiar with intersectionality, but I think it could do well to be explained at least a little bit for those who aren’t.

Essentially, the argument is that feminism, while a good force, needs anti-racism to maximize it’s potential, just as it needs support for LGBTQ+ rights, since a lot of people are impacted by racism, homophobia, transphobia etc. Focusing largely on cis-het white middle-class women does help them, but we need those other elements too to be able to truly liberate people

Honestly, just taxing the rich is one of the most milquetoast and obvious takes ever. Should not even be radical imo since it just makes sense

Chiming in to say that my Fairphone 4 worked well with Ubuntu Touch, though I have since come to the conclusion that Waydroid doesn’t really work for my usage due to many social apps not integrating well with notifications, as well as missing AGPS support, so I am back on Android with CalyxOS. If you find that GNU/Linux is not daily-driveable for you, I can definitely recommend that.

I’ve had a bunch of issues with my GTX 1080 before I switched to an AMD RX 5700 XT. I love it, but I recently put the 1080 back in use for a headless game streaming server for my brother. It’s been working really well, handling both rendering and encoding at 1080p without issue, so I guess I’ve arrived at the same conclusion. They don’t really care about desktop usage, but once you’re not directly interacting with a display server on an Nvidia GPU, it’s fine.

Yeah, I get that. I was daily driving Guix for quite a long time and really enjoyed it. As I understand it shares a lot of code with Nix. It’s just been a bit hard to integrate with a lot of the software I run due to it not being compatible with the traditional filesystem hierarchy. This is obviously a selling point for Nix/Guix as it frees it to try new ideas, but makes it harder for me to run my music production software for example, which I can’t run in flatpak officially and since it Just Works™ on Debian, I’m happy with it. Maybe I’ll get into it sometime again as the community seems to have grown a lot, and I’ve looked into running Nix on top of my Debian install.

Debian is rock-solid! A very low maintenance and comfy system in my opinion

boo_, 11 months ago

Chiming in to say that Debian is great if you’re comfortable with how Ubuntu works, as Ubuntu is basically Debian + Corporate support + Snaps.

I switched all my machines from Ubuntu to Debian during the Red Hat debacle, since I don’t have faith in corporate distros anymore and generally prefer the more democratic approach that the Debian foundation takes.
