wait huh?? it’s a twm for windows? i kinda want that (also damn it’s agpl)

why does it have to be webview though

installing the proprietary driver isn’t too bad in my experience as long as you’re comfortable with your package manager.

It’s just that the drivers are simply bad (e.g. some filters in gamescope are borked, you can’t use vaapi for hardware video acceleration, etc). these issues exist on all distros because they’re all using the same proprietary drivers

I don’t think the nvidia-open kernel module works with nvk, it’s only compatible with the proprietary userspace driver

if you want to use nvk you have to use the nouveau kernel driver

that’s mainly because of Wayland’s security model I think, it’s trading a tiny bit of convenience for lots more security in terms of things like preventing easy keylogging.

You can still do keylogging in wayland but that has to be done at the compositor or evdev layer, which requires root access or control of the DE, which makes it more secure. I’m sure you could write something in C to do this though

It might be an annoyance for you and I get that, but your small annoyance improves security for lots more people than you realise. I’m sure you can adapt to not using the script though (I also use multiple layouts and I work fine without a script like this)

yeah you sometimes need to force applications to run with xwayland, for qt apps I think you just assert the environmental variable:

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb

that usually works for me

All my experiences with amd gpus have been fantastic, their drivers work beautifully and when they have even a slight issue it’s been problems with protocols adoption and whatnot, never the driver.

It’s such a contrast to the dogshit experience I’ve had with all the nvidia gpus I use, I really can’t think of a reason except cuda that a Linux user should get a nvidia device.

I hope when the people adopting Linux now start building their next pc demand for nvidia noticeably shrinks. Or maybe they’d be bankrupt by then because of the ai bubble crash

probably not, I move SSDs between computers all the time and linux always just works

very different story for windows installations though 🤮

the arch wiki says you can, it doesn’t really elaborate on it though

yeah i mean ofc if you also put everyone in the world that that datacentre is serving in a human datacentre, I’m sure it’d also consume tons of power (in food)

is winboat and Winapps basically the same thing?

also that’s definitely not going to have adequate performance, you’d need something like looking glass and that requires a spare gpu or sriov/gvt-g. it’s probably easier to set up with a standalone vm

that might be true, but no one learns calculus in a ball pit

iirc Netflix or something uses bsd

yeah it does really feel plasticky in the worst way

security you don’t understand is security you don’t have. windows’ exploit mitigations don’t work because the average user doesn’t understand them and can easily be guided into disabling them.

the weakest attack surface is the stupidity of the user and that’s not gonna change however much you try to make your os secure

why not just wipe the ssd and put Linux on it? dual boot should work fine, and if you have problems with it you could post it here

I don’t really agree with the firmware baked in/firmware loaded at runtime distinction the fsf makes, so I don’t really see the point of not using proprietary firmware wifi cards (like the Intel series), as awesome as ath9k can be

depending on how you manage non-free js these distros are feasible for daily driving though

i still wouldn’t do it but gsp firmware and nvk makes it sorta feasible to game on nouveau

sorry i was a bit hungry 😋

important context:

Regarding vibe coding, Torvalds described himself as “fairly positive” – but not for kernel development. Computers have become more complicated than when he learned to code and was “typing in programs from computer magazines.” Vibe coding, he said, is a great way for people to “get computers to do something that maybe they couldn’t do otherwise.”

This is despite the fact that vibe coding “may be a horrible, horrible idea from a maintenance standpoint.”
