As opposed to the human-made brain melting videos?

RAM could be a cheaper culprit. Try re-seating it.

Do not use Manjaro. It is a known trap. What you can do is install pamac, which is what Manjaro uses for GUI package management. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve used Arch, so here’s a tutorial:

Alternatively you could look at Garuda, which is a solid Arch distro. You’ll either love or hate the theme, but that’s easy to change. It also comes with an interactive kernel by default (most distros use a regular kernel build, which works better for servers).

Whatever you do, please please please not Ubuntu. It’s the lowest common denominator. Emphasis on “lowest”. It was good in the past, but Canonical have really lost the plot.

And once again, I am seriously questioning Apple’s privacy claims. Why else would Apple build such a moat around Safari?

Inadvertent oracle attack.

For your use case, consider it to be a packaging format (like AppImage, Flatpak, Deb, RPM, etc.) that includes all the dependencies (including services, not just libraries) for the app in question.

Should I change this?

If it’s not broken don’t fix it.

Use Podman (my preferred - the SystemD approach is awesome), containerd, or Incus. Docker is a graveyard of half-finished pet projects that have no reason for existing. Podman has a Docker-compatible socket, so 100% of Docker tooling will work with it.

I have read on more than one occasion that Wine is becoming the “Linux Gaming ABI.” It’s no longer just about Windows. With the huge variety presented by distros, Wine is simply a nice stable target that never moves.

Try forcing it to use Proton (game properties in Steam).

It does. I have it enabled and tested. “Client Device Isolation.” It’s enabled per SSID.

Ooh I like the idea of “no Internet.” I do trust all of those devices (open source), but they could still be pwned.

I used to agree with this, but hearing interviews with actual victims changed my mind. This only works in theory.

MacOS is a BSD, so go with Linux if you want variety.

Instantly refunded when I entered a queue.

1. Contrast. You can’t use light to make something dark.
2. In the HUDs that we do have (Hololens, Google Glass), you typically use something like DLP or waveguides. Both are pretty expensive.

There are fewer barriers with helmets because they are usually tinted.

I’m a fan of anything that keeps eyes more forwards/on the road.

I heard it in a podcast, but here’s a written source on that: https://fedoramagazine.org/pipewire-1-0-an-interview-with-pipewire-creator-wim-taymans/

The message is still to use the PulseAudio and JACK APIs. They are proven and they work and they are fully supported.

I know some projects now use the pw-stream API directly. There are some advantages for using this API such as being lower latency than the PulseAudio API and having more features than the JACK API. The problem is that I came to realize that the stream API (and filter API) are not the ultimate APIs. I want to move to a combination of the stream and filter API for the future.

Switching over to the discrete GPU work in the efi/bios might help. Optimus (the driver that chooses between discrete and integrated) is known to be a steaming pile.

PipeWire wins in the feature-set game, which is why it is being preferred over PulseAudio.

According to the inventor of PipeWire, this is the wrong perspective to take. PipeWire is preferred over PulseAudio as a server, clients (apps) should continue to use the PulseAudio/JACK APIs because the PipeWire API is not designed for general use (it’s designed for things like pipewire-pulse and pipewire-jack).

I’m not a fan of Rider, it’s just that OmniSharp outright breaks on large/real-world projects and Visual Studio doesn’t work on Linux. I don’t use their products out of choice.

The biggest hurdle to open sourcing proprietary stuff is often 3rd party code, but we can indeed hope.

What do you mean? Apple doesn’t have a package manager at all. Brew is a fucking mess that takes ages to do anything.
