it might be a tad early to say anything, but so far switching to xlibre and SonicDE has provided a more stable experience since switching yesterday. Atleast once a day, I would crash to the login screen on Xorg and KDE, but so far I haven't had that happen.

I've used X11Libre since X11 was forked with no real issues issues, lucky or because I haven't recompiled it too often. As for Sonic, we'll see. One mad cunt (it says he's from kangaroo land) is cooking vulkan backend for kwin, there's plenty of commits so he seems serious.
 
Has SonicDE reached the point in development where it's stable enough(lol) to be a daily driver?

I fail to see why not, especially Sonic

Because I use CachyOS' handheld build and it literally only supports KDE Plasma, at the moment, and I really don't want to tinker with something that's effectively a bootloader for Steam's Big Picture.
And don't tell me to use Bazzite because a) it's only KDE/GNOME and b) dead project

Of course this happened in California, and I wouldn't have even heard of it. There is no way I would want pay attention to the kind of insanity going on in their state. I heard about the Colorado thing before lunduke talked about it. Not this.

Well that makes sense, and kind of shows the problem. One state passes a law like this, then others follow. I wouldn't think that needs explanation, because you can see it happen with all kinds of things. The speed varies, but this stuff can, and does have an effect that reaches outside of the state they get passed in.

Just wait until you see every other petty little fucking thing ZOGifornia has banned.

It's a state ran by petty tyrants and I really REALLY am eager to fucking leave lol

Wish you luck, I'm looking to get out (not same state but still idiotic).

What's with California anyway? They seem so trigger happy over the smallest things.

God you people are niggers. If any of you had actually looked up the bill, you’d know it was introduced by two shitlibs at the state level in a shitlib nigger state that noone cares about

You are honest to god retarded, first because this is just downstream from CA having this exact type of law already passed, and second for thinking that republicans are any better when they've been helping out Palantir build a panopticon hellscape for the past 2 years.
 
So I've been looking to finally ditch Windows.
How true is this claim about the distro/kernel/DE/compositor combo?

That guy is one of the main Xlibre developers so maybe? I'm not too familiar with openmandriva, it uses rpm package management so it should be fairly straightforward to setup and use

My main concern is the kernel. I didn't dabble with custom kernels before, so is Zen really a good choice in case I want to play some video games and still have a stable OS?
As for OpenMandriva, the devs' explicit stance on the project being 100% free from politics and being one of the first distros to support Xlibre, all of which triggers trannies a lot, is what makes me want to try it.

Depends - which GPU brand do you have? If you have Nvidia, I'd definitely check into different kernels (Xanmod I've heard is the best). If you have AMD, I'd honestly just stick with the stock kernel and update the Mesa drivers

it's very likely going to make no difference. The only way I've ever seen a real change in performance is configuring, and compiling the kernel myself. Otherwise it's almost certainly going to be imperceptible. And I would only recommend configuring, and building your own kernel if you actually want to learn how to do that, if you are doing it to chase performance, but don't care about it otherwise it probably won't be worth your time.

So basically unless you want to build a custom kernel you've configured yourself, removed everything you don't need, and options that hurt performance, and then compile it for your specific hardware, just pick either the plain kernel, or zen. Flip a coin between those two for which you should use.
