Yeah, I had mostly stayed away from arch based distros after having a really bad time with Manjaro. But hearing the Steam Deck’s version of SteamOS was switching to an Arch base got me to try Endeavour on my desktop, and I’ve been using it ever since.

Not disagreeing with your point, but at least for waydroid there’s a specific SteamOS installer available.
Desktop experience is just KDE, only part that I’m worried will trip people up is it being immutable. Usually that’s fine, but occasionally you run into an issue where something doesn’t work because of flatpak sandboxing, and it can be confusing how to overcome it.
It’s working, I know people who don’t even own a steam deck who are considering swapping to SteamOS once it’s available for desktops.
I’ve told them they don’t need to wait and can get a similar or better experience with distros that are already available, but steam’s name is gold for a lot of people and it seems like the only option they’re really interested in.

Fubarberry@sopuli.xyzto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Lol, they locked all the posts for the communityEnglish18·6 months agoI’m not sure. Some posts legitimately seem like Linux users making fun of themselves. Others really seem like people who have an actual grudge against it.
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyzto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Lol, they locked all the posts for the communityEnglish1051·6 months agoSome of those posts are decent jokes to be honest. Some are just desperate/scare tactics though.
I learned a lot by using a less common distro (solus). When I would have a problem, the solutions I could find on forums or arch wiki wouldn’t apply to my distro directly, and I would have to look into the solution for long enough to understand what needed to change in order for the solution to work.
You can probably do this on any distro, just by not using commands you find online until you understand what they’re doing and why that might fix your problem. Arch wiki is a great resource for any distro, even though it won’t always be accurate for the distro you’re on.

Fubarberry@sopuli.xyzto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•how much power does your system need?English6·7 months agoThat seems really high, I think power where I live is about 12-14 cents per kilowatt hour. What makes it so expenses where you live?

I was amused when I browsed the university library computer science artificial intelligence shelf. ...I sometimes wish AI had stayed at this level.English4·10 months agoObviously there have been major improvements over the past 80 years, but that’s still considered the first neural network. The need for multi-layer neural networks was recognized by 1969, but the knowledge of how to do that took awhile to be worked out.

I was amused when I browsed the university library computer science artificial intelligence shelf. ...I sometimes wish AI had stayed at this level.English14·10 months agoFun fact, the Perceptron is basically the first machine learning AI, and it was invented in 1943. It took a long time and many advancements in hardware before it became recognizable as the AI of today, but it’s hardly a new idea.
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyzto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Arch users trying to print filesEnglish2·11 months agoI don’t know of anything specifically, just my experience with printers on linux is they either work pretty effortlessly or they’re awful and don’t seem to work correctly no matter what you do.

Fubarberry@sopuli.xyzto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•OneDrive deleted my files!English20·1 year agoIf I remember right for steam, you can’t disable updates for all games, but you can set some restrictive rules for when it can update. Stuff like it can only download updates for 1 minute monday morning at 3am.
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyzto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Alcohol is my way to turn myself on and off againEnglish16·1 year agoYeah, the bank that manages my mortgage has mandatory text message 2fa if you’re on a new computer. And something about Firefox keeps it from remembering my machine, so I have to do the text message 2fa everytime.
Right now it’s working fine, but they had a period of a few months where the text messages would take 10-15min to send after you tried to log in, and the log in attempt would expire after 5 min, making it impossible to log in. All of which could be avoided if they would let me use a 2fa app.

People like porn memes because they have a little extra shock value, and will never be ruined by aunt Gertrude using it.
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyzto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•We can't leave people on the dark sideEnglish71·1 year agoGraphics cards update through the system updater, and any game that doesn’t have kernel anticheat will generally just work without any extra effort from the user.
Distrobox is also a good option for installing stuff without flatpak.
