But don’t quote me on that!

Oh wow, I didn’t expect another release so quickly! Props to the COSMIC team! I can’t recall where the roadmap for the features and their targeted releases went, but I hope we can get Night Light/Blue Light filtering soon.
I also did not know they had a Mastodon account, thanks for the shout so that I could give 'em a follow.
Destiny definitely isn’t in its greatest state right now (and honestly, hasn’t been in a while).
The answer to why they haven’t “ended it yet” is: Because it still makes them money.
Realistically though, if you look at any big discussion for a game you’ll always find people who dislike it (because they tend to be louder than the people who are spending their time playing the game instead).
This is what I’ve been playing too, and I’m having an absolute blast with it!
I’d recommend using ROCM through a Distrobox container, personally I use this Distrobox container file and it has suited all of my needs with Stable Diffusion so far.
That is, if you’re still interested in it - I could totally understand writing it off after what happened 😅
I usually just get by with Alacritty and Zellij, pairs pretty well together.
Nowadays I primarily just go with Arch, it works “fine enough” for my use cases (software dev and gaming) and the AUR truly does just about have everything that I’ve ever wanted to install.
That is not to say that it doesn’t have its issues though, a while back ago I was using EndeavourOS and my PC completely locked up (seemed like a kernel panic) in the middle of pacman running a system upgrade and it borked the whole install. I haven’t gotten around to migrating my home folder to its own partition (it is in its own btrfs subvol though), so I just went with installing Arch and choosing to keep the btrfs home subvolume so that the base system was replaced, yet my home folder was preserved. I’m sure that I could’ve fixed the issue in a chroot, but it was easier to just wipe everything outside of my home folder and just start fresh.
I am heavily interested in Atomic systems, the above issue being one of the bigger reasons, but I would continuously run into walls when trying to use non-flatpak software. Most of the Atomic distros have a way to effectively spin your own image, but at the moment I just don’t have the time to learn how to do it. NixOS fell into a similar boat for me, Nixpkgs is quite large but I’d have things randomly break because they’re expecting a FHS compliant layout (such as some of my dev tools) and while I’m sure I could eventually learn how to fix it, Nix’s docs are… not the best, and I ran into time constraints again.
I’ll eventually circle back to reviewing Atomic distros and spinning up my own custom image once things in my life settle down a bit, but there’s just too much chaos for me to justify throwing another wrench into it when Arch for the most part does what I need it to do.
My desktop also used to have a Nvidia GPU in it, and is one of the reasons why I started using Arch in the first place - they were pretty much always the first to get the Nvidia driver updates. Thankfully I switched to AMD (a 6700 XT) about a year ago and that specifically hasn’t been an issue (and allowed me to explore more distros without having to worry about how the Nvidia installation/update process was - its not really complicated on any of the distros, but its an additional step unless you use something like Pop that has the drivers preinstalled).
However I do also use Fedora on my old MacBook, I tend to only use it for lightweight browsing and occasionally SSH’ing into some systems and I’ve quite enjoyed Fedora so far.
I try to keep all of the distros I’ve tried out, with their current versions and previous versions (if it makes sense), such as:
I’ve stopped distro hopping as much as I used to, but I do keep a much smaller partition around for playing with another distro if I want to (such as the latest test version of Pop that includes the COSMIC epoch alpha release). I’d say that you definitely don’t need a 128GB flash drive, but the last 16GB flash drive I was using pretty much died and when I went to get a new one, the difference between 16/32/64/128 was negligible enough that I just decided to get a 128 one and never deal with storage issues on it again. Plus, you can tell the Ventoy installer to leave some free space for a non-ISO partition to keep other stuff on it as well.
Can confirm, Ventoy is fantastic! I just keep one 128GB USB drive with a ton of ISOs on it and that does the trick!
Arch Linux is the same as the last time I was in the hospital with my babies and I was wondering if you were going to be able to get a new one.
🤔
If they’re using Fedora, then it is highly likely that they are using GRUB as you have to very much go out of your way to utilize systemd-boot on Fedora the last time I checked.
Yep! I’m pretty sure I can remember Resetti in the original Gamecube version making me cry as a kid after getting yelled at for accidentally turning off the system without saving…
I also remember Phyllis, who basically hated your guts for interrupting her night shift.
And of course there’s the actual villagers of the town too, some of them were definitely a lot more… liberal… with you, personality wise!
lol.
Listen, I’m not going to lie and say that Linux is all sunshine and rainbows, because it isn’t - but neither is Windows. But I can play this game too!
Minecraft runs faster for me on Linux than it does on Windows, I get frequent stutters in Windows especially when trying to use mods (the same exact profile has zero issues on Linux).
Razer’s software was so horrible in Windows that it would quite literally cause Windows Explorer to not startup properly unless I didn’t have the hardware connected when I logged in. Otherwise it was a roll of the dice whether Explorer and the rest of the desktop shell would start. There is zero reason that having a peripheral plugged in should cause Windows’ services to not start properly. OpenRazer on Linux has never caused anything like this, and works flawlessly. Nope, don’t blame it on Razer. As an end-user, I don’t care about that.

Even tracking the problem down to it being due to Razer was a major pain.
Windows has all sorts of issues constantly, however according to the Microsoft forums all I have to do is run some random DISM command to fix it, I’m sure that’ll definitely do the trick /s
Oh speaking of gaming - have you ever tried to use the Microsoft Store for games (which is required if you use game pass - a Microsoft first-party service)? Good luck. And if you do manage to get it to work, but have to reinstall Windows because of the fact that its had some random bullshit problem that requires a reinstall, god help you if you had your game pass games on a separate partition. You would think you’d just be able to tell Windows where the games are and not have to reinstall those - but nope, your account doesn’t own those files (even though you’re logged in with the same Microsoft account that they practically force you to login with these days just to access the desktop)! Due to the sandboxing, you can’t change the permissions back either. But also, since you don’t own those files, you can’t delete them either - and Microsoft requires that the game pass games go in a specific directory on that partition that… you now can’t modify because you dONt HaVE PerMISsioN tO DO thAT! So you need to either format the partition completely, or in my case since I had other stuff that I didn’t feel the need to copy somewhere else just to then copy it back, delete the WindowsApps
folder FROM LINUX. What in the actual fuck???
Finally, after you’ve done all that, and have installed Forza, a Microsoft First-Party Game you can’t play multiplayer because the networking services are broken:

Oh hey, look, a guide to fix the problem https://techcult.com/fix-forza-horizon-4-unable-to-join-session-xbox-one/ - NINE different methods to supposedly “fix” the problem, including the almighty lord and savior DISM reset command!
People act like Windows is some holy gift from god and is perfect - it isn’t. Anyone whose been using Windows for more than 6 months knows that this is the case, they’re just used to dealing with Microsoft’s bullshit.
Everyone who says Windows is a viable alternative as a daily driver for things other than using Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel is just delusional.
Fair enough!
Ah, gotcha. May there be more stability in your future soon!
I tried out Helix, but I think the biggest issue that I have is that with (neo)vim, I can use the keybindings in most of the editors I use through a plugin (such as IdeaVim for the JetBrains suite) - but I do not think the concept of Helix keybinding plugins have really hit anywhere.
Helix itself seemed really cool when I was playing around with the tutor mode though.
One of my closest friends also did the same thing for me, I quite enjoy playing beat saber :)
For what its worth, I know that while a lot of the hardcore Linux community seems to absolutely despise Ubuntu/Canonical because of snaps and whatnot, I don’t think there is anything actually wrong with using Ubuntu if that is what works for you. Use the best tool for the job!
I’m not the original person you replied to, but I also have a similar setup. I’m using a 6700XT, with both InvokeAI and stable-diffusion-webui-forge setup to run without any issues. While I’m running Arch Linux, I have it setup in Distrobox so its agnostic to the distro I’m running (since I’ve hopped between quite a few distros) - the container is actually an Ubuntu based container.
The only hiccup I ran into is that while ROCm does support this card, you need to set an environmental variable for it to be picked up correctly. At the start of both sd-webui and invokeai’s launch scripts, I just use:
export HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0
In order to set that up, and it works perfectly. This is the link to the distrobox container file I use to get that up and running.
Jeez, no wonder Infinite has always had such a bad reputation then!
