Filesystem compression is dope.

I’m pretty much all BTRFS at this point

Minecraft is arguably & measurably more performant on Linux, full stop. Anything using OpenGL performs better on Linux, check any Minecraft benchmark online.

I’m partial to macOS and I agree, I think Windows font rendering looks like garbage. On GNOME, I’ve found things to be okay. Sucks that patents are involved in this mess

I’m happy with Wayland

Chrome OS.

Go big or go home. No need to stick with anything from a large corporation if you’re already pulling away from M$

Aside from the backdoor (which is a moot point when talking about zstd anyway), there are a number of other very good reasons to use ZSTD.

Yes, it works on Wayland. I’d also give GNOME’s Console a shot.

Lemmy.world is designed for people who want another Reddit. Interacting with their users & communities tells you all you need to know. I’d be a fan of defederating, tbh

I have more of a question than an answer - is the Monaspace repo a good example of how to do this properly, or a bad one?

Mostly positive. My encoding utility Aviator can be shipped with a custom community-backed SVT-AV1 fork in the background without anyone noticing any issues like they would if I linked to system SVT-AV1. Flatpak makes this kind of thing easy, and users don’t have to think about it.

This post looks LLM generated

MuPDF comes by default on CalyxOS, and is what I use.

Just yesterday I overwrote some pacnew files and borked user authentication for myself. Very rough time

FYI, the Pixel 8’s processor is certainly less efficient than the S23’s. If it is reportedly getting better battery life, that’s likely software related.

I agree with this the most. People obsess over the start menu paradigm simply because they like it in Windows. I desire more open mindedness when it comes to looking into alternative ways to interact with your computer, so I align with GNOME.

“Anything immutable” is bold. Any bad experiences, personally? I don’t think they’ve negatively impacted the desktop Linux landscape as a whole…

This is a balanced take in my opinion. Also an Arch user. Distrobox has helped remedy things somewhat.

There occasional hiccups with Linux that are sometimes by design, like Flatpaks not having access to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. This makes some things need minor workarounds where they wouldn’t otherwise, because there aren’t enough people on Linux to make these workarounds the norm. I don’t really mind, but it is nice not having to do anything like that on macOS (although there are other issues there, like not having access to /usr/bin in the first place :P)

At the end of the day, though, the development workarounds necessary on Windows are absolutely insane. Even as well documented as they are, I am very glad I don’t need to touch Windows ever again because they still suck.
