bt is not as good on linux (takes like 10 seconds to pick up my earbuds after i take them out vs up to 2 seconds on linux) but its still a major improvement. the new tiling seems pretty cool but eh didnt end up using it. virtual desktops and dual monitors work a lot better although switching desktops can break taskbar icons (and that bug still hasnt been fixed since release)

win11 is a major improvement tbh.
process scheduling doesnt suck as much as it used to and bluetooth has AAC support (win10 only has sbc which sounds bad)
defender is much harder to get rid of though (but you can still get rid of almost all online features and telemetry including ms accounts using group policies as long as you have Enterprise or a LTS version)

the only reason im not using it is that it makes copying from terminal impossible

file search in krunner doesn’t work without indexing (you have to at least set it to only index file names for that)
also, dolphin won’t display file metadata (like image resolution) without file content indexing

apparmor is partially supported (check nixos security. apparmor, some manual configuration may be needed), not selinux though and probably never will be

i don’t think json is guaranteed to parse 64 ints by spec tho, unless you store them as strings

(arch with gdm3 and gnome takes around 1:30-2 minutes to boot from an hdd on my old craptop)

I’m literally scared of disassembling stuff over like plastic clips while people just feel ok with ramming stuff in like that wha

i was asking about the passkeys specifically tho, not the biometric auth part of it
linux only supports hardware security keys like yubikey, not on-device passkeys atm

hdr support is coming tho

• steamos already has it iirc (well, specifically gamescope)

• kde 6 has experimental hdr support with wayland session

• cosmic de devs promised hdr support in the first public stable release

what i really miss is passkeys (specifically, using tpm2 to store them like windows hello does)

that’s why I’ve been doing most of my gamedev stuff on an old craptop from 2016.
performance issues become apparent immediately

until it violently shits itself

or fiddle with the vm/swappiness value

or…

Upgrade to Enterprise (upgrading to enterprise will also remove ads in settings)

in gpo editor:

• Set updates to Manual
• set the telemetry level to “Security” in group policy (iirc can also be called “Compliance”). This only works on Enterprise.
• opt out of Microsoft accounts. This will force account creation to skip right to local accounts as if MS accounts were never a thing. This only works on Enterprise/Pro.
• disable copilot and integrated bing search

do a full reboot

try Poweramp, it’s paid but it costs like 10 cents and comes with a 3 day trial (no subscriptions or other bs)
definitely the most feature packed player with no competition

idk if it’s optional why bother typing it

tbh i think “master” terminology is only bad if paired with “slave”. the word itself kinda just lost it’s original meaning
but I don’t really care about git’s change. im only using master out of habit

8 is enough if you’re not multitasking too much
wanna play a game? close absolutely everything except maybe discord (if you need it), but keep it in the tray
wanna look sth up while playing? don’t forget to close the browser afterwards

Copilot Chat

yeah you need to mess around with snappiness to avoid that
(so either increase it to make it unload stuff to hdd earlier, leaving more ram for critical stuff, or decrease it to like 5 in order to make it only use swap when absolutely needed) basically just mess around with it and see what value works best. i my case 10-15 works more or less okay-ish under full ram load
