god-awful installer

lol, it’s not that bad is it? I have installed fedora on 2 of our machine without a single issue 😂

I, too, have been a longtime fan of Gnome. It’s workflow IMO is quite practical and pleasant to use.

Slightly off-topic here, but have you considered Fedora? For me it just gets the job done and stays out of my way. I don’t want to configure a whole bunch of things before I can get to work so I find fedora simple to use and well-integrated. Docs and forums are quite helpful too.

I see, thanks for the info!

Maybe I’m dumb but looking at wikipedia I’m a bit confused. Seems like you can do this on almost any linux distro. What is the reason behind setting up a dedicated OS, cost of operation, stability, performance?

This sounds so dump. How else are they going to rebuild, invite everyone over to watch and party?

I’ll start using this trick today

Aha! Reminds me of the good old days when I tried to minimize boot up time on my puny Ivy Bridge i5 laptop. Those days were fun!

The Art of UNIX Programming by ESR

Not saying this book is 100% correct and perfect, but most parts of it is still relevant and refreshingly insightful even after 20 years. I sure learned a lot about great engineering and generally how to approch and tackle difficult problems from it.

The other day I was on KDE on steam deck desktop mode and could not wake from sleep, not sure if it’s a KDE thing or steam os thing though.

They could enforce SteamOS in Dota2/CSGO esports events. That would be a huge boost

Wow I didn’t know about this, thanks for the reading! I always feel morally in debt for using Wikipedia without giving back much and assume they were struggling a bit to operate, but wow they have received millions of dollars already!

edit: I’m still willing to donate though, and I just did, like I’m happy to pay for what I’ve learned from it, even if it doesn’t mean much to them.

I thought texture sampler feedback could help mitigate the ram issue?
