  • tbh, a lot of big players (Microsoft, Facebook, Google) host a lot of AI stuff on huggingface and quite likely have to pay for that.

    Also they had a few successful funding rounds, last one led by Salesforce.

    Also Amazon is invested in them, probably offering a lot to them for free or discounted.




  • Full 32 bit on 64 bit Unix support is a big thing in my opinion, even though most people won’t notice it (as an “extra” this also will allow running 32bit games on osx games and proper wine support on arm64 devices like your phone).

    Also the additions to directshow will get more (older) games working properly.

    From what I read this was some great work in the foundation of wine and hopefully accelerate their work even more.





  • The biggest feature of Wayland for me is mixed refreshrate monitors works OOB. On X this is a pain to get even remotely working and it’s impossible if your monitors aren’t dividable (120/60 works, 144/60 stutters).

    This is from my experience something that is starting to be a way more common issue (high refreshrate laptops with 60 external monitors at businesses or high refreshrate monitor for gaming and a smaller secondary monitor for info lookup/discord).

    other than that, Xorg does win the “more stable” prize for me, but if I wanted stability, I should’ve become a carpenter.


  • It’s quite a bad UX, but generally error 2 from make means the called program resulted into an error.

    Usually this is accompanied with another error somewhere up the log. Multiple cores can make this a challenge to scan the log for however, so maybe try compiling without the -j argument, that should get the actual error closer to the end.

    From my experience, it’s usually an outdated config for the kernel (like using a config for 5.1 while compiling 6.7) or a missing dependency. However the real error will be somewhere among the logs, who knows, maybe it’s a missing processor instruction (it’s really bad UX).
