Exactly. Having so many projects spun from the main distribution just for porting to different architectures is uselessly fragmented. This RFC will make Arch Linux officially ported to architectures other than x86-64 under the same infrastructure. Among other benefits, it should bring better maintenance. I think this is huge.

This is what we needed. I am looking forward to see where it leads.

I actually like this kind of light-hearted spirit. I dream of a future when this whole woke culture thing will be a thing of the past.

I use Parabola GNU/Linux-libre.

Besides video games, I need no Windows software at all. So far I have successfully played every single game I wanted to play, hundreds of them, ranging from small independent titles to AAA features without resorting to Windows. While I am aware that online play can be a problem on GNU/Linux, I don’t do online gaming. Sometimes, especially in the past, I may have to come up with some serious tinkering to enjoy a flawless experience, but ultimately I have never failed to run a Windows game on GNU/Linux as if it was a native title.

Underrated comment.

I have used booster since its inception. Super fast, never had a problem.

Interesting. Thank you for the heads up.

Not related to your experience, but there is HuggingChat, an open source alternative.

Me too.

Parabola GNU/Linux-libre.

Parabola GNU/Linux-libre user here. On paper, GNU Guix System looks exactly what I want from an operating system. The problem I have with it is the software repository full of severely outdated packages. Heck, last time I checked GNOME was three major versions behind. This is a deal breaker for me. It’s a downside that I don’t see coming up often in discussions.

I am waiting for dynamic buffering and variabile refresh rate being both merged in mutter. Wine on Wayland is also pretty exciting.

After having used Parabola GNU/Linux-libre for more than ten years, I seriously considered moving to GNU Guix System. The only thing holding me back is that I saw some seriously out of date packages in the repository. Off the top of my head, GNOME was like three major versions behind. How do you deal with that?

Not much related, but I want to chime in to express my gratitude for what I consider the most underrated piece of software in the FOSS ecosystem. Better known hex editors pale in comparison to wxHexEditor in terms of features and user interface. I suggest you to tweak the colors for better viewing (I can share my configuration file) and to upgrade to the latest unstable revision because many important fixes landed since the last stable version.

As new vulnerabilities are discovered, my motherboard manufacturer issues new firmware versions with updated microcode, hence I do not need to install microcode updates from the operating system.

Hello.
