This is such a boomer meme

I installed Edge on Linux because it’s fun watching Linux people get angry about it

This sucks, but on the flip side, before Flatpak and others, if the software wasn’t in the repo then we’re SOL and can’t install it. Asking all developers everywhere to maintain a version of their software for every single package manager and ensure support for every distro is a bit unattainable. If Linux settled on one package manager or one distro then this would be solved, but such a statement is antithetical to the abundance of choice that Linux boasts.

Would you rather not be able to update an app or not be able to install an app?

This is also the distro I tell others to use, it’s what I started on and I enjoy Linux now.

Linux Mint with XFCE is what I’d go with

I’ve had a much easier time on Ubuntu with NVIDIA cards than with other distros. Also, I’m not sure how this is helpful advice to a new user at all.

I’m interested by the fact that we have very different experiences with Linux. I switched from Windows to Kubuntu when I was starting out and I found it pretty easy to learn, aside from a few new concepts that were just different. Aside from programs that just didn’t work because they didn’t have Linux versions, I had vastly less problems running Linux than Windows on my PC.

When did he do that?

How is getting more performance out of a CPU greedy? Is making a better product that people want greedy? Stagnation is lazy, and making CPUs faster is better for the consumer. So is AMD putting pressure on Intel by releasing faster and faster CPUs. This is a large part of why we have such powerful computers now that shape our modern world.

What “hack” are you talking about that they implemented in Zen 3? Speculative Execution has been around for years, and speculative execution vulnerabilities have been happening ever since. Thankfully, the fix is available and not incredibly difficult to implement, which seems to be the case for most of these bugs. Why should we sacrifice speed for the potential that maybe we implement a bug that can be fixed with a BIOS upgrade?

My pixel expired after I finished it unfortunately. I wish I contributed, it would be cool to make something a little bigger.

It’s a fun thing to commit 10 minutes to, kinda satisfying too. It’s fun to try to do a job that we normally expect computers to do, and it’s cool to work collaboratively towards something bigger than yourself.
