Nice off-topic comment. Pretty sure by now everybody is aware of that (and other posts) on the topic of using a license.

103·5 months agoPersonally I suggest Fedora with KDE.
It has a great update cadence time frame, and good hardware support (indirectly backed by IBM). And games really well in Steam/Proton.
That’ll get you the most Windows like experience on Linux, for an average user who doesn’t like to tinker much and just wants it to work out of the box.
Just make sure to accept third party libraries / apps when you first install. It’s a single checkbox that you click.
128·5 months agoWhy did you attach a link about Creative Commons and copyright laws?
Oh, no particular reason at all. Just seemed like a fun thing to do.
🤷😋😇
All kidding aside, that’s something of a loaded question.
Instead of a repeating myself, yet again, let me just point you to this topic…

Just click on the “View all Comments” link, to go to the top of the topic. It’s a full discussion.
If you want something more recent (like yesterday recent), then I’d point you to this topic…

Otherwise, you can look through the last threeish weeks of my posting comment history, and you’ll see the same subject come up multiple times, and be discussed.
Edit: Wow, seven down votes in just a few seconds from time of posting the comment. That must be a record.
Edit2: Hmmm, the responses seem strangly familiar. … 🤔 Seems like someone is trying really hard to push a certain agenda/perspective.
Did he give you a reason why?
91·6 months agoand the kernel folks just went “it is the kernel, everything is critical”
tl;dr: this is pretty much an elaborate “go fuck yourself” towards shady ‘security’ companies.
Apologies for my ignorance, but could you elaborate?
I’m sincerely not seeing the connection between saying everything is critical as a go fuck yourself towards those companies.
Is it a ‘death by quantity’ thing?
Try Fedora’s KDE spin (which uses Wayland).
I always thought it has the best hardware support.
I run a dual monitor setup, with no issues, and game often.
It’s probably this recent bug in kernel/mesa. https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/linux/-/issues/47
You need to downgrade your kernel or wait for the fix…
Confirm that ‘Above 4G Decoding’ and ‘Resizable BAR Support’ is set to on in your BIOS first!
Can confirm, my WoW crashing problem is gone since doing so. At least, I changed two settings, not just the one mentioned (see below).
I had updated my BIOS version recently, and the ‘Above 4G Decoding’ and ‘Resizable BAR Support’ was turned off, instead of inheriting the previous BIOS version setting of them being turned on previously.
EDIT: As discussed above, turning on ‘Above 4G Decoding’ and ‘Resizable BAR Support’ settings in my BIOS fixed the problem.

Does anyone know why OW2 may be crashing on Arch? I thought it was just me, but I went to protondb and saw more reports. The only solutions I found from historical crashing non-Arch related was for nVidia users, but I’m on AMD.
Any clue why it may be? And, more importantly, what the solution may be?
It crashes shortly after starting if that helps.
Not sure if its related, but throwing this reply your way, just in case.
WoW has been crashing for me too last couple of days, consistently. Launched via Battle.net launcher.
Its weird, but the only way I can get it to not crash is by letting the first WoW session crash on startup, NOT closing the exception error message dialog or the report the crash to Blizzard dialog, and then start up a second session of WoW. That second session plays fine.
I had played first session WoW normally for a week, then stopped to have lunch one day, and when I came back from lunch and started up WoW again, this crashing crap had just started.
I tried using Bottles (both native and flatpak), Lutris, and Steam. The ‘run twice’ trick is being done on Steam (native not flatpak) using experimental. Using Fedora/KDE spin.
Not sure where to report this ‘bug’ to on the Internet. Any ideas?
Really happy to see them continuing to improve on their multi-monitor support.
From the article…
On Wayland, KWin can now be configured to pull color profile information from the monitor’s EDID metadata where present. Note that color profile information in EDID metadata is often wrong, so use this setting with caution.
Can anyone speak towards why the EDID metadata is often wrong?
Edit: TY to all who responded.
What do you think of Fedora? So far I enjoy the stability combined with near-arch levels of getting new updates!
I switched away from other distros to Fedora (KDE spin), and am happy here.
Do I wish they were better open-source citizens, yes, of course! But they’re still allot better than Microsoft/Windows close-source solution.
And as far as the distro goes, its nice to have solid support for hardware, and a good rolling release cycle that doesn’t brick my OS, and that has quick support for gaming, etc.
If you’re the type of person who wants a Windows alternative OS to use as just a tool for gaming/business first and foremost, and not to tinker with the OS for fun (unless they want to), Fedora is the best, and what we all should be proposing to others when they ask about moving to Linux.
257·6 months agoDon’t think of it as them being unprofessional, think of it as them having a safety valve to relieve the pressure of some people wanting to leave Reddit for Lemmy or elsewhere, because of their bs.
Someday, when they’re confident enough that they have customer retention locked in, that methodology of bypassing will be removed.
A lot of people misunderstand economic systems by anthropomorphizing (it means to give them human characteristics) them, giving them the illusion of thought or feeling.
Just in case that was directed at me, versus part of your overall opining, I do not.
It’s an economic and social system, ‘Bartering 2.0’, and not a mechanical or otherwise thing.
Good opinion piece overall though.
One of the worst things about Capitalism is that many a time it’s cheaper to do the wrong thing, than the right thing. It promotes doing the wrong thing.
46·6 months agoI don’t want to ask any kind of LLM anything at all. Ugh.
While my default/off-the-cuff answer would be the same as yours, if I travelled fifty years into the future, and had a ‘discussion’ with a LLM that was specific to the topic being discussed, I would probably be ok with that (as long as it was programmed properly and trained on good (not cheapest) data).
Time will tell, but the future will pimp slap you if you try to avoid it. Best to surf it the best you can.
Not sure if I would want to ask the kind of LLM that’s programmed from that site about romance / love life questions.
You do know that isn’t how licenses work?
Well I’m glad it ended up being automated.
You’re welcome. I appreciate you helping out with normalizing signature lines.
