I have only really used upstream distros (specifically what I've used is debian, open suse, Arch, Gentoo, and nixOS). I've never had audio issues, except when I first started using Gentoo, as I was missing some compile flags.

That being said I only started using Linux 3 years ago.

I know people who use linux mint (or other distros that aim at user friendliness) who literally never have to touch the command line. This claim that you need to use the command line was true 5 years ago, but today it is largely false.

I am in a Linux User Group and I am literally the only person who uses a tiling window manager (I use hyprland) instead of DEs like kde, gnome, cinnamon, etc.

@hackris @Hovenko a lot of people use bottles. The official package is on flatpak.

I think steam deck is usually considered linux.

Benefits to proton after all make it out to linux. ChromeOS and Android are more debatable, although Google does submit a lot of code upstream to the kernel.

I mean, python is named after Monty Python.

@Audbol @AgreeableLandscape

The linux community sees wsl as eee

Hey that isn't how you convert people to the cult of NixOS

@zikk_transport2 @LastoftheDinosaurs

Assuming you're not joking, you have it the wrong way around. Gentoo is arch on steroids.

The shear amount of customization and raw power you have from from gentoo's use flags and how easy it makes it to compile a custom kernel is insane. On top of all that your system is insanely stable. If a package isn't in the repos, it's not difficult to package it. It is certainly way easier to write a gentoo ebuild over an arch build script.

You can get a hold of them via #eBay. Every now and then a business upgrades and floods the market.

One of these days I want to buy a whole bunch of them and build a #Beowulf cluster.

@ShootBANGdang @Selmafudd

yeah, once one person comments it suddenly gets bumped to the front of active on lemmy...

@davidgro @AgreeableLandscape

Are you using hot or active? If you're using active it is because someone posted a comment, as it works via most recent comment instead of post date
