As a (currently) CachyOS user, I would like to point out that their custom mirrors don’t always reflect the newest version of packages, too. So if your package has a bug you may have to wait an extra day or two for it to reflect the fixed version after it drops. That or manually install the git.

Just make love with Timeshift and for the love of god don’t use topgrade if you don’t know what you’re doing. Thankfully, because of rule number one, Timeshift told me the topgrade nightmare was over and tucked me back into bed with a glass of warm milk and a bedtime story.

Thankfully compiling on Windows was as easy as searching for a guide online. When I switched to CachyOS there was also a package in the AUR that seems well maintained.

I like that LibreSprite exists though. I wonder if it can use Aseprite’s extensions. I might have to check it out just to see.

Once my financial situation is settled I do want to pay. Aseprite is an amazing tool and the devs deserve my money at this point. They don’t ask much and still keep it available to compile for free. That’s real marketing, imo.

We’re that one cousin no one talks about.

This is less of a Linux problem and more of a kernel access problem. Microsoft hinted at shutting down kernel access, but I’ve learned not to hold my breath about anything Microsoft says. Personally, I made the sacrifice. I have plenty of other games I like to play that don’t have kernel-level anticheat.

This is exactly what I was looking for. The more I read it, the angrier I get. The fact that something as simple as a text document format can be force standardized, monopolized, and overcharged for is ludicrous. All because of a proprietary extension loophole.

Thank you for the info.

Definitely bookmarking this reply. I haven’t tried ComfyUI yet, but I’ve had it starred on Github from back when it was fairly new. I’m no stranger to building from source, but I have not dived into Docker yet, which is becoming more and more of a weakness by the day. Docker is sometimes required by some really cool projects and I’m missing out.

This is very good to know. I read that ROCm can be a pain to get up and running, but I read that months ago and this space is moving fast. I may switch over when I can if this is the case. My 3080 is feeling it’s age already. Thank you!

What was the barrier between LibreOffice/OpenOffice and 365? I know there’s something that just doesn’t translate right, but I can’t really remember what, tbh. If I was faced with the same problem, I think I’d just dual boot. Windows for work, Linux for play.

That solution is tantamount to smacking it with a club these days, but I haven’t taken the time to familiarize myself with VMs yet. Honestly, its in my list of skills to learn along things like Docker. The future seems to be moving in that direction and I’m lagging behind.

The only reason I still go Nvidia is because I self host AI, which afaik takes advantage of CUDA and just runs overall better on Nvidia cards, or at the very least is easier to set up. Really, the top reason is that it’s the devil I know right now.

If I didn’t self host AI, I would 100% go AMD. Especially if you don’t want to use proprietary drivers. That being said, my old gaming laptop runs NixOS with Nouveau and there have definitely been improvements since I first tried it years ago, but I don’t do much gaming on it. It’s more a TV media station these days (so I can avoid the stupid smart TV bloat agenda, where your TV gets gradually slower and fits less increasingly-bloating apps over time).

There comes a time where it goes from frustrating to fun if you keep at it. You’ll snap into it and be like, “I know how to fix this!” or other times you’ll be furiously searching the web for your answer. I don’t think you’ll regret Pop!_OS. I started there and have been distro-hopping ever since. A lot is set up right out of the box in Pop.

Just sit back and work on one issue at a time until it works. Check into and learn how to setup Timeshift (basically system restore), you may thank yourself later. Though, Debian is pretty damn hard to break without actively trying to break it.
