You’d be amazed how many people have strong sensitivities to most surfactants, or outright allergies to some of the more common ingredients. They can be right beside you in an elevator after years of not using soap, and you won’t know.
Shhhh… Dont let anyone know i havent used soap for years (unless i did something really dirty/greasy)
Does the boot screen look ok? Does the login screen look ok?
I had a problem with my new 9070 on debian KDE, and the issue was with color accuracy setting
We arent that far behind. I’ve had to pay for tons of private services out of pocket here in quebec.
Basic shit like dermatology and MRIs
(Is debian considered a “debian-based” distro?)
Debian users, ignore the above. Debian explicity warns against using ubuntu ppa
The correct way to get libreoffice in debian is just to apt install libreofffice… It’s already in the main debian repos
No, the CIA was selling drugs in latin america…
Iraq was invaded twice
I thought i had a pretty good radar for AI slop these days, but this one slipped past my heuristics.
What tipped you off?
On closer inspection, the meteors are a clue. AI doesnt seem to know that the foreground characters should occlude them.
Any other obvious ones?
My desktop has been running debian for 5 years no problem including 2 major debian version upgrades, and a new(er) GPU.
I had an old laptop that ran the same debian install for 8 years. All upgrades in place, no reinstalls.
boring, and works. Stable + backports should cover the majority of people with new hardware support needs.
But my chromecast transports digital signal to my DAC. Probably better quality than the DAC in the bluetooth speaker
I think the problem is that a lot of people are just running flatpaks, dockers, and third party repos which might not be getting timely updates.
I try to stick to debian packages for everything as much as possible for this reason.
Read the post above mine… “Privacy respecting options” are almost always downstream forks of firefox. Abandon/kill the source, and downstream dries up
This needs to be higher up. We need firefox as an alternative to a chrome engine monopoly. ToS and telemetry are miniscule issues compared to what we are up against
Firefox is literally the last thing standing between google controlling the entire browser landscape and having control over all web standards (as if they dont already have too much influence)
People ditching firefox over tos, telemetry, AI, CEO pay, etc. are cutting off their nose to spite their face. Do i wish mozilla would stop doing stupid shit? Of course. But the alternative is far worse. Dont let perfect be the enemy of good. Mozilla will never be as ideologically pure as we want them to be, but that’s OK (for now)
I’ve been using NC since single digit version numbers
The performance increase on v30 is VERY noticeable, especially loading photos.
There are millions of people out there who do 99% of their stuff in browser, and never need the newest shiniest features for graphics, or gaming or whatever. Plasma 5.27 works great for years. People only get fomo if they follow this stuff constantly. And most people dont. Lemmy/linux is a very niche gathering of nerds
To say that debian is not a good daily driver for most people, i still disagree for the above reasons
I’m not a professional or anything, but i get my basic photo and video editing just fine on debian.
For example, i used to chase all the latest and greatest digikam versions because “ooooh! New features!!”… In hindsight, there was nothing really that groundbreaking each update, and i just go back to using the core features that have been stable for years.
but I wouldn’t recommend it on a computer you’re actively using
Debian is my daily driver on all my computers. Servers, desktop, laptop. Its called the universal operating system for a reason
Packages are regularly updated with bug fixes for security issues. Do you absolutely need the latest features for every software? Debian is fine unless theres some killer new feature you absolutely need.
Hardware support is mostly fine unless you have the absolute latest hardware (which OP doesnt). And backport kernels should take care of newer hardware
You want stable and no snaps.
Debian
It’s Luigi time!
Docker doesnt replace your current system. It just runs containers (which act like a separate system)
You can also try podman which wont silently rewrite your firewall rules without telling you… I’ll never forgive docker for doing that
It’s “kick his ass, seabass”
