Make backups of your important files, or use a separate home partition. When I used arch, more than once I had a bricked install after doing updates. The last straw for me was when after updating my network completely went out. I switched to fedora and haven’t had issues for 2+ years. Also, (this goes for every distro, but more so arch than others) NEVER update if you don’t have at least some time in front of you in case something happens. Arch was definitely a good learning experience and it was fun at first tweaking everything, but the drawbacks in stability got a bit old after a while. The AUR is a godsend and it’s the best thing ever, you should also be using an AUR helper like Yay to make your life easier.

Maybe. still extremely cool and I will 100% use it and play with it. This can also help with the claims of a phone replacing a desktop computer like we’ve seen with the desktop mode and Samsung Dex.

True, just side graded from a S23 base to a pixel 9, the pixel is a lot better in many ways. Mainly the UI is clunky and everything is bloated on the galaxy. There’s way too many features and way too little thought that went into organizing said features. Meanwhile the pixel is beautifully animated and has very nice and actually convenient features for calls for example. Most of the galaxy features I feel are just toys and gimmicks. The pixel is also more repairable with their online parts pairing tool as well as being more open to custom ROMs

Of course, but the articles make it seem like it will 6x the performance in some games when in reality it won’t because the performance gain is already factored in upstream proton

These articles are very misleading because Proton is already patched to include fsync (I think it’s fsync). So basically there won’t be any performance improvement for most games under 99.999% of setups. Still a good thing that this is merged because it means the regular wine outside of proton will now be on par with proton

I don’t have glasses but if youre in a country with Costco’s, my family swear by them for glasses

Very thorough overview, I really like the charge limit feature, I previously had to use an extension to manage it

Oh no not corporations threatening to leave the market if they can’t operate the way they want and thinking we will mourn their departure 😢😢

This is good too because it will give a chance to smaller businesses to compete. The bad side of this is all the people working for Amazon at this center will lose their jobs sadly.

Time to crank up their openAI bill 😎😎

Gnome is my choice because it doesn’t look and feel like it was designed in 2015. I also much prefer the workflow with the touchpad gestures. I used to have extensions but since I reset my PC and didn’t install any apart from the one that shows my cpu temperature in the top bar.
