TLDR you might be interested in the rust-based scheduler one of the Canonical Devs released as a PoC. Seemed to be designed similar to your needs of keeping the system (particularly games) responsive even whilst running heavy tasks like kernel compilations. You can swap out schedulers at run time on Linux iirc?

I’ve seen some impressive traction on newer videos putting Linux on (intel) Apple devices for example. Purely anecdotal but regularly hitting 100k+ views on Linux videos is something that I’ve only seen in the last year or so and moreso on videos documenting “hardware restoration”.

don’t.

Tim refuses to stop shooting himself in the foot against Valve. More news at 11

Fucking hell lmao y’all need to go back to reddit this is straight up high school drama behaviour.

Grow up, I’m serious. Of course you’re gonna get banned for brigading into a community and going “muh tiannamen square???” like that meme hasn’t been run into the fucking ground already.

Make a new community on a new instance, it really is that simple! and if people have issues with the moderation on lemmy.ml (they clearly don’t, beyond a few people who demand everyone listens to their concern trolling) then they’ll move, but otherwise you’re gonna have to accept that people really don’t give a rats ass about the united states foreign ministry and its opinions.

There’s also all of these communities on Reddit if you’re truly unhappy that the volunteer owned and run social media you signed up for isn’t being astroturfed with US-Israeli state press releases.

Join literally any other community if you’re upset at their moderation, which again is only upsetting y’all because it doesn’t align to Reddit and the US state department

go back to reddit if you want to live in the bubble of “America does nothing wrong”

Gotta give it up for the UK and US proving how institutionally corrupt their public services are!

Not if you call it GNU/Linux 🤓☝️

amateur. I just manifest the correct IP address for my desired resource and fetch it with curl

I didn’t say you have to know everything, just like I don’t know everything in my house and how it works, but I do know how to do basic repairs so I don’t pay loads of money for a guy to come and unclog a drain. I know how to reset my circuit breakers, how to change a fuse, how to change a lightbulb.

That’s what the terminal is. No one here is telling you to write a bootloader in assembly or meticulously study kernel environment parameters. No one advocating for basic knowledge of a terminal likely has knowledge on subnet masks, compilers, or other low level systems that a modern Linux abstracts for you.

But! I know how to update my packages from a terminal. I know how to install a package outside of a repository, or one that’s not listed on my graphical package manager. I know how to export an environment variable to get my software to work how it should.

That’s what “knowing the terminal” gives you. It’s a basic skill that unlocks you from being a mere “user” of a system to an owner of a system. I don’t think everyone will ever need the terminal, but there are people who are replying to me that seem to have a genuine fear that people have knowledge of their computers in a meaningful way.

Knowledge is autonomy for whatever you do, and there’s a reason why the most profitable of systems are the very systems that are locked down abstracted and “user friendly” in all ways that harm a user’s rights and freedoms.

I don’t think it’s a theory rather than an objective fact. A lot of “traditional” computer skills have almost totally gone extinct because consumer devices are designed to hide as many system features from you as possible.

The saving grace is that even being raised without it, you end up needing these skills to become a developer of any decent calibre. That gives at least some route for these skills to transfer to new generations.

If you want to use Linux without the terminal nowadays it’s pretty easy. But also I think the fear of the terminal is part of the culture that consumer electronics have cultivated where people don’t know (or want to know) how their systems work.

If you take the time to use it, not only can you save yourself time, but also learn a lot more about how you can fix things when they go wrong! That kind of knowledge gives you so much more ownership of your system, because you don’t have to rely on your manufacturer to solve problems for you.

Same for Mac and Windows too, the terminal is something that shouldn’t be necessary, but when it is it helps to know what you’re doing. :)

I installed mint and zorin on virtual machines (theyre easy to set up in windows with virtualbox) and then just put them fullscreen and used em like my actual computer for a bit. Very useful for learning stuff without the commitment of a proper install.

The trick to writing a JavaScript web app is that first you consider literally any other technology to solve your problem and only then consider using javascript.

it does 👀

Average linux experience is the “hey I think im getting used to this OS now!” followed by “where’s my bootloader”

It’s in testing and/or sid atm but the keepass dev has argued back and forth with the debian maintainer who basically just said “suck it up buttercup” and refused to change back, so it’ll cause a lot of fun times once it lands in the next debian release lol
