There was no blowup, Reddit both received more funding and their advertising earnings increased. A 21% revenue growth in 2023, I’d say also active user growth but I’m not entirely sure.

But it was the X protocol that needed to be replaced.

It’s a human thing, this is all social media. It’ll happen here as well if enough people join a conversation and especially if the userbase expands. Everyone just want to have their say/get attention without checking the other comments.

I haven’t booted Windows since February and at this point I’m afraid to.

Yeah, I disabled it and never notice any issues, but I only play BG3 and Guildwars2.

Panel freeze is a known KDE bug on non-Intel GPUs. It’s fixed in Plasma 6, avoid it on Plasma 5 by disabling window previews for the panel.

Yeah I’m a grey-beard, my first experience was Slackware in the nineties. I’ve been using Linux since but usually on servers and in VMs only. Recently I’ve been able to go 100% thanks to Proton. I really enjoy the progress made with tech such as systemd, wayland, btrfs, proton and flatpak. Though a lot of grey-beards are very resentful of these I feel they represent real positive progress. There’s also support for kb backlight and other features of my laptop.

I’m also really enjoying PRIME rendering on my laptop, using Intel and Nvidia at the same time for different things. It works beautifully/seamlessly and even more so that I can just type “yay” and get a new Nvidia driver or a matching driver if there’s a kernel update without having to do any babysitting manually.

I do everything on Linux now, Office work, Rustdev and I play games like BG3/Guildwars2 simply by launching them from Steam.

The only pain is that I have to configure each application manually to use Wayland, that’s a bother.

Sounds like some sort of weird bug under Fedora, given the huge difference.

I just like the rolling release/quick updates of Endeavour(Arch) and SUSE Tumbleweed. So those are the ones I pick between for my gaming laptop (both with Btrfs for easy rollback though I’ve never needed it). For my servers I use Debian and Ubuntu.

Sometimes I just need to type one or two quick commands, maybe at the current path. I don’t think this is necessarily to do a lot of work, it’s just to give some more flexibility. I can see myself tapping F4, typing “chown blabla something”, tapping F4 again, or similar because it’s quick and easy.

Nothing wrong in having options that some might find useful sometimes. As long as it doesn’t bother those who don’t use it.

Well that’s a massive difference you’re experiencing. For me Native and Steam work the same.

OMG I can do that? Yes I can do that!

I keep discovering these things about Dolphin, like remote filesystems through SSH using "fish://" and now F4.

Depends on what I’m going to do. I often use mc if I need to do something to a bunch of files but not all and the filenames are not good to filter on except by human eye. For example when I want to move a bunch of mixed downloaded stuff from my dl machine into grouped folders on my NAS. It’s easy to go down through the list and select what to move from the download folder (where it’s all in a disorganized pile) into the grouped destination folders.

If I work on individual files, or something that’s easy to filter through wildcards I use terminal commands.

It’s not for or against, it’s about choosing the most convenient tool for the job.

11s on my laptop which i boot once a day, but it is useful for diagnostics. I had something hanging once during boot and it’s pinpointed it right away.

I think it’s complex and the problem have been many things. When Apple pitched an open version of iMessage to the carriers long ago they refused because the didn’t like the E2EE. They were surprised when Apple later introduced a proprietary version (and subsequently discovered it was a competitive advantage).

Now there’s a Client-server encrypted version of RCS in GSMA but the E2EE version is Google’s and running on Google’s service. It was only recently that two carriers in the US agreed to use Google’s messaging app for interoperability but is E2EE in GSMA?

Interoperability have been a problem as at one point carriers weren’t even interoperable while using Universal Profile (I think they are now). Apple surely wont use it unless forced (it makes business sense not to) but between GSMA Universal Profile (which Apple would have to use) and Google’s much better version based on the Signal protocol the current situation is also a mess.

Well, they haven’t committed to a release number and I don’t know what priority the ticket has, however if you use KDE there will be a workaround for night light without GAMMA_LUT for Plasma 6.

I have the laptop set to NVidia Dedicated mode, the integrated GPU is dormant at all times (verified with nvtop), so I don’t have any experiences with Optimus. I don’t use suspend, I turn it on in the morning, off in the evening.

Same, am happily using an NVidia 3060 laptop with Wayland+Plasma. Playing BG3 and Guildwars2 on Proton+Xwayland. Got a Plasma panel freezing bug (that’s applicable to non-Intel GPU’s) that fortunately had a workaround so I’m fine.

So for some use cases at least it’s OK. They seem to be working more on Wayland now: In the next driver they’re fixing a number of things bothering some people like v-sync and Vulkan on Prime. They also have a ticket in progress for nightlight (GAMMA_LUT support) but not sure what version it’s headed for.
