Who said anything about linux

It really depends. I actually needed to learn a bit about networking to be able to host multiple things on nginx on the same port. Internally they run on different ports, but they can get routed by the host name

Honestly, why switch distros? I switch DEs from time to time

I stopped liking gnome. Let’s say you try to launch a wine game and it just doesn’t launch. There’s no icon to right click on to find out which wine profile it’s launching from. The quick launch icon is just there, teasing you and not doing anything useful.

I can right click on a desktop icon in KDE and do something useful with it. KDE has gotten better. It’s no longer super buggy on Wayland with Nvidia.

Jellyfin didn’t scan my files because they were not organized correctly

Just let me browse the damn folder

You can see with image generation progress was extremely quick

It’s irrelevant because it wasn’t a precursor technique. The precursor was machine learning research, not other image generation technology

Creating abstract art by moving pixels around is not anywhere close to what we mean by image generation. At no point did this other software generate something from a prompt

Image gen did not exist in any way shape or form before. Now we’re getting video gen like a few years later.

Let’s not forget we started by playing the game of Go better. My prediction as a hobby Go programmer (the game, not language) in 2015 would be that better than human AIs would be there by 2020 and they got there by 2016.

Before the AlphaGo match with Lee Sedol people predicted the AI would just put up a decent fight since a previous version played questionably against a weaker player. It blew one of the best players ever out of the water, losing only one game of the series.

Future matches even against the world #1 with the better models showed it to be invincible against humans

You’re making the same mistake. You’re looking at the current capabilities and predicting a human speed of improvement. AI is improving faster.

Nix is the best packaging system. One of the best kept secrets is you can download old packages from github and it will install old deps into a different folder. Very useful for just downloading the exact wine version you want or keeping a broken package at the version it still worked on. I’d use bottles, but the wine versions it provided were not the latest!

So NixOS, being based on Nix is the best distro

Yes

You spend a lot of time fighting snaps. I wanted to install GrapheneOS which needs direct access to USB from the browser. Snaps can’t do that, so I had to hunt for a chromium .deb on the web. Might as well use windows if I’m doing to Google “$software installer”

Then you gotta go framework. The ports are all swappable. When you break a port like hdmi you’re basically fucked on a standard laptop. And laptops falling off places is basically guaranteed

I understand completely, I don’t even update until I need to. In my case, screen capture works more consistently with Wayland than x11.

Xwayland should work basically forever, so there’s no reason to rewrite anything. In time those features will get implemented, but I’m guessing you will need to change the scripts to use something other than wmctrl unless that particular program gets updated

What is the use case that doesn’t work for you? Mine was Nvidia and now it’s working on gnome at least

If only x11 worked well in the first place. But its many flaws are never going to addressed because the developers only work on Wayland

the mitigations just have bugs, and bugs can be fixed

I’m not convinced it won’t be a thing of the past after some time

It means that if quantum technology improves, the same technique can break higher bit integers. So it’s in fact broken, we just don’t have the future hardware to execute it on yet.

Isn’t there a last modified time stamp on files?
