      Firefox kept crashing because of explicit sync. Nothing new for an nvidia user such as myself. Still never going back to xorg.

          Thanks, I wish the same for you friend! I use arch so they’re pretty fast at fixing stuff. Yesterday they pushed an update that minimized the crashing but it’ll probably be totally fixed by today or tomorrow unless it’s a driver bug.

          I was a terrible citizen and ignored the problem instead of reporting the bug. I just wanted to get some coding done so I just clicked the restart Firefox button over and over. That minor fix did wonders though! It only crashed two more times to my recollection.

          The new nvidia driver has explicit sync, wayland perfect for me since I updated it a week or so ago.

            Yes it was perfect in Wayland till yesterday when I updated and fire fox started crashing with explicit sync errors

              wuh oh, I haven’t updated in a while, only a couple times since the explicit sync fix and I haven’t had any issues. I was just planning on doing that today though…

              Yeah, I just finished my upgrade this morning and got crashing, easy downgrade but hopefully wayland and nvidia can play nice consistently soon lol

    I’ve found it funny how many people think they need to defend windows by saying " this could’ve happened to Linux too!!"

    Okay, sure. Yeah you’re right about Linux being just as insecure as windows too 😉

        To those many Linux users who took a look at their circumstances and said “I definitely need antivirus software!”

          CrowdStrike does more than anti-virus and yes enterprise Linux installations need a lot of security controls that average Linux users don’t need.

            Ok fine simps, Linux is exactly as shitty as windows this was totally only a coincidence

              Bruh, I’ve used Linux for over 10 years. I run Arch on my laptop and have a homelab powered by Proxmox, Debian, and OPNSense. I don’t run any AV in my lab but do follow other security practices.

              At work it’s a different story. Products like CrowdStrike also collect logs, scan for vulnerabilities, provide graphing and dashboarding capabilities, provide integrations into ticketing platforms for investigation and remediation by security teams, and more. AV is often required because Windows users can upload infected files to Linux-run SMB shares. Products like CrowdStrike often satisfy requirements set by cybersecurity insurance.

              This is not simping, this is not Linux vs Windows. You just clearly have no experience in the enterprise Linux space and business security requirements.

                I don’t need to argue about windows vs Linux. You’re overcomplicating and misinterpreting my point and it’s no longer worth it to me because you clearly are prioritizing defense

                Edit: let’s see if we can get to 100 downvotes here. I mean this shit is just so offensive right?

      I think people are missing the point here. The biggest problem was not that the update was bricking the machines, that could’ve happened to Linux/macOS/BSD etc. The problem is that the solution to the problem is to MANUALLY access the machine, get into safe mode and type some commands. This is insane. And you should be able to EASILY disable automatic updates for apps like that on Windows Server.

        I dunno, I’d say them deploying an update that bricked machines at the scale they did shows they didn’t test it very well at smaller scales. They could have even still used their users as beta testers, just needed to do a subset of them first.

        Crowdstrike exists for Linux. Are their reports their update affected Linux servers? I have not read that anywhere.

    I’ve been driving Linux as my main for just about a month now and I didn’t think anything of it until I booted into Windows and had to deal with forced updates. Almost Done? JFC.

    Just kind of pondering my key combinations in tmux, vim, etc. I’ve started using “layers” and “combo keys” in my keyboard layout and it’s really showing me what’s possible

      Powerful combo, mastering shortcut keys opens up a whole realm of relaxed posture. Mouse is effective but weak in comparison to efficiency of the keyboard at least when editing text files.

        Yes I’m starting to realise that with layers one need never leave to home row at all.

        I haven’t even messed with mouse macros, which I’m hopeful will reduce my need to leave the keeb even moreso
