RCS is our last hope...

This is the leat surprising information anyone could have told me about working for LTT/LMG. Time and time again, tech jobs and game dev jobs in workplaces run by "old internet edgelords" always (always) results in shit like this.

No, in so far as its a valid community to link to considering this is beehaw (not federated with a few large instances) and it's 100% relevant to the thread they posted it in.

I mean it's quite literally not, but whether it's tasteful to link to a different community is up to personal choice I guess.

How does Amberol hold up with libraries in the high thousands? So many nice looking music played keep struggling with my music folders.

Really makes me miss Winamp sometimes.

I have never had to babysit an update on Endeavour. It's extremely user friendly, especially if they're already used to using the dumpster-fire that is Manjaro...

Yeah, honestly without memeing, if it ever does happen it would probably be the causes of "the year of the linux desktop".

Pretty sure this is exactly what the "immutable OS" is for, like what's found in Fedora Silverblue (and less notably in the SteamDeck).

It essentially lets you break whatever you want in userland, but it mounts the root filesystem in read-only, and literally re-images the entire machine each update w/ the added bonus of halting and rolling back the update if any errors are detected during the update. All of which occurs "magically" behind the scenes upon shutdown, so it requires essentially little to no user interaction to manage core updates.

Also all graphical software is limited to flatpaks, so you really take out a lot of the user confusion about installing on Linux and dealing with system-specific weirdness.

Hey cut OP some slack, they just learned those words from the older kids at school.

I want to preface this with noting that I 99% agree with you on this, but to be fair Windows "just works" right up until it doesn't.

What got me off Windows was how frequently all the UWP-powered system apps (like Screenshot Tool, Calculator, etc.) and even core stuff like Explorer would just have some key functionality just break randomly.

Not implying that programs on Linux don't also just randomly shit themselves, but to pretend that Windows just works is a bit silly.

I've never understood the issues people have with Nvidia on Linux.

I've got a 3080, powering 3 monitors, using EdeavourOS, running the closed-source drivers. Genuinely zero issues so far, and yet everytime I mention it I get a bunch of alleged know-it-alls telling me how terrible my experience should be lol.

Windows has it's serious flaws, and I would never willingly go back to it at this point, but the installer is too hard? This sounds like a you-issue rather than a Windows one.
