They don’t have purist politics, though. They support NATO and Genocide Joe. They have a xenophobic imperialist politics.

i only skimmed and didn’t really take this seriously because it seems full of buzzwords with no substance

It’s the paradox of wanting Linux to be widely supported but not wanting it to become a walled garden experience. The average consumer is not keen on “different” and “complex” and designing all of Linux around the preferences of those average consumers would mean sacrificing the advanced features and customisation power users enjoy.

Arch is not dumb shit and recommending it to beginners is fine if they are curious and want to learn about stuff.

Recommending Arch to people who just want a working machine is silly, and stuff like Gentoo is kind of dumb shit.

But if you want a simple “it just works” distro you should probably be using Mint or Pop! or similar, and avoiding trying to do anything unnecessarily advanced unless you are cool with reading manuals and so on.

Found the nvidia shill, I guess.

Playing high quality 4k videos on old hardware, it seems to make a noticeable difference.

Any website that blocks users with JS disabled doesn’t deserve to be used. Terrible software.

Except you can’t empathise with a group because groups are conceptual and concepts do not have feelings.

This shit is depressing.

Edit: Actually, this whole thing is bizarre. “empathizing was rated as more effortful and distressing compared to staying objective”? Feelings are objective. Individuals objectively have feelings. Empathy is understanding and weighing other people’s feelings, particularly when making decisions. There is absolutely nothing that is not objective about it.

The experimental design also seems to be asking the participants to empathise with people who very obviously don’t exist with zero information about their fictional cirtumstances (not even any body language), which is bordering on impossible. I’d also really like to ask how it’s “distressing” to try to empathise with an expressionless photograph on a solid background.

Junk research. Whoever approved funding for it should be fired.

I wouldn’t’ve gunned down those minors from ethnic minorities if the leftist SJWs didn’t have so many pronouns!!!

One person’s gross is another person’s based.

It’s also part of why humans and dogs get along so well. Grey wolves (and, to some extent, many other canids) are also among the best animals at persistence hunting.

I have a 2022 mid-range laptop which does work with Windows 11, but sounds like a jet engine when I try to run it.

I also have Arch installed, which runs silently 80% of the time, with moderate fan usage the other 20%.

As you may expect from this, 11 is typically sluggish, especially under load; whereas Arch is typically quick and responsive, with moments of lag noticeable but infrequent.

Under the circumstances, using 11 would be a terrible choice. There’s just no reason to subject my device to it.

You say “same kernel as Arch,” but Arch has five officially supported kernels, and you can choose any of them while you build your system. EndeavourOS allows you to switch kernels, but it’s assumed you will install the latest mainline kernel and you are only given LTS and Zen as additional options.

If you use LTS or Zen, or especially if you use Hardened or Real-Time, vanilla Arch is a different experience re:kernel.

It’s also just wrong, because quite a lot of mammals and birds use sound for intraspecies communication (a la human language), echolocation is fairly common, feeding and hunting often generate sound… Sound production for mating purposes is a hefty chunk, but the joke here is pretty misleading.

For now my plan is to just buy Chinese as much as possible.

Define better.

For business usage, it’s really just Debian and Red Hat as options, along with their derivatives. For personal use, add Arch to the list.

Other distros exist but people don’t generally need to worry about them, their stability or compatibility, etc. This includes developers as well as users.

Or so I’ve heard, anyway.
