I have been using Linux for a few years now I have never seen someone say “arch btw” unironically. I swear, memers do more damage to its perception.

The unfortunate thing is that OEMs don’t really have an incentive to ship Linux-powered systems.
Have you ever noticed how vendors who ship computers with Linux often do so at the same or greater cost than Windows? I believe I have heard somewhere that Microsoft subsidizes OEMs for shipping with Windows, which is scummy but Linux can’t really compete with this.



This, was a busy year. Silksong very much carried my Steam Deck usage.
Yeah, I have been using it like that for a while. It is just a single environment variable.


I have been using Bitwarden on my various Android phones (including Samsung) for years and had none of the issues you described. The problem could be your device.


I believe Steam Deck officially supports only Micro SD cards. I used one for about six months and had no issues.


Wasn’t Signal only able to disclose first and last timestamps when a user has connected to their servers when receiving legal requests? I just assumed their protocol made it so that they can’t do it, or they theoretically can but don’t store such logs.
Did you follow the instructions here? Fedora by-default doesn’t ship non-free codecs and this may break some apps.


I got a very recent Thinkpad and it apparently has official support for Ubuntu and Fedora. I went with Fedora KDE.
I highly suggest you stop avoiding it because it will most likely be faster and easier to do something (i.e. system-level changes) with it than not.
Similar to smartphones or MacOS, entire OS is a singular image that is also updated all at once. Core parts of the filesystem is also read-only, meaning it is pretty much impossible to mess things up if you don’t mean to do so deliberately.
The best in this regard are from uBlue project: Bazzite (most popular), Bluefin, Aurora, etc. While Bazzite is intended for gaming (things like Steam are pre-installed), the other are for general use. Bluefin uses GNOME desktop, while Aurora has KDE Plasma desktop environment. Look up their visuals and choose whichever one you like. I prefer Aurora because KDE Plasma is often much more familiar to Windows users.


Love me some flatpak updates. I hope it will be as good as Android’s sandboxing in the near future.


Any alternatives for learning Japanese? I have already learned about 500 words and 20 kanji.
Ivy Wallet. While it is unmaintained as of recently, it is pretty much feature-complete and I really like its UI.
