Oh I fully expect the FD trannies to start social media gayops now.

Can you disable caching with that?
No idea, it's Chromium but the point I was making was that modern browsers, by default, rape your drives.
What kind of sign?

The good ol' CrystalDiskInfo heart attack sound effect. Will it be an SSD wear notification? Or will it be a HDD bad sector notification?

Every SSD has a set TBW lifespan limit, and the health status percentage represents that. My previous system SSD wore down to the 80's, my current system SSD is at 95%, and what you see here is that secondary SSD I use for games, software and file storage, that before the profile move was still at 100%.
 
My previous system SSD wore down to the 80's
Is this percentage the number of cells that have not yet been been worn out to almost nothing, or does that CrystalDiskInfo thing consider a cell that has only 20% wear bad?

BTW I use a similar tool to CrystalDiskInfo: sudo smartctl -A /dev/[name of drive].

And that can be quite infuriating.

I do not like how Current Year web browsers are designed to wear out SSDs with caching this and updating that. Also, YouTube still caches crap even if you specify no caching in preferences. And preferences which should be in GUI menus -- and back in '00s before Current Year were in GUI menus -- are instead hidden in about:config as cryptic codes.

It's a SMART statistic, on the system SSD it's CA: Lifetime Remaining, and on the secondary it's 05: Percentage Used. CDI just takes it to show the percentage and yell at you if it detects that it changed, so you could probably write a Bash script to throw into Cron to periodically compare the latest value to the last read one to then do whatever you want to do when it changes.

Trannies aren't representative of all arch users
At this point in time, the burden of proof is entirely on you.

Arch users have proven to be the most insufferable, autistic of them all.

EDIT: And let's not forget, more often than not, all of the /r/unixporn posts are made by troons like that guy above.

Mint users are getting there.
No that's just people recognizing that if we want Linux to be more adopted and better supported then we have to not give newbies decision fatigue by forcing them to choose between like a dozen recommendations that they don't understand the difference between, and having their choice be a shitty one. If we have to do a crusade to get there then that's what we'll do.

To add to this, even Linus said it himself:


Paraphrasing him, "I want something that just works." SteamOS is already making it super easy for normies to adopt Linux as a trusted vidya platform.

The spergs jerking off to their .bashrc files are the ones we should start culling.

Can't even hide it in his own god damn thumbnail. Does he actually think we can't see the apple because of his choker or something? :story:
If this was 10 years ago I would have thought this was some elaborate parody or something, this chipmunk filter is making me laugh my ass off.
 
How likely is it for X12 to be officially packaged on RH-based distros?

It's possible that popular branding is a powerful tool to attract normies. Can't see how SteamOS is easier to set up than a Mint (or Nobara specifically for vidya out-of-the-box), unless it's preinstalled on a Steamdeck.
 
How likely is it for X12 to be officially packaged on RH-based distros?
Xlibre won't be packaged in the big distros until it's out of beta, and any distro with stake in hating on X11 (eg Fedora) won't ship it unless they're forced to. I would expect the BSD people to flock to this project since they rely entirely on X11, so it might not take too long to mature.

Not happening. On Ubuntu you might get a semi-official PPA and someone will probably package it for arch.

Xlibre won't be packaged in the big distros until it's out of beta, and any distro with stake in hating on X11 (eg Fedora) won't ship it unless they're forced to. I would expect the BSD people to flock to this project since they rely entirely on X11, so it might not take too long to mature.
FreeBSD is already in the preliminary stages of planning a move to Wayland since they want to continue offering GNOME and KDE support and both of those projects look like they're going to drop X11 entirely in the near future. I could see them offering X11/X12/Wayland as options but their goal right now is to get their underlying system infrastructure capable of supporting a wide range of display servers.

EDIT: I should also add that a lot of the *BSDs have their own forks and/or implementations of X servers. The bigger issue isn't so much getting someone to maintain X but the FOSS ecosystem moving away from it. The BSDs need to maintain support for the applications people actually use and a lot of the applications people use are either planning to deprecate X11 support or outright remove it.

Red hat is deep in the X11 hating train and would likely be the last to support it, going kicking and screaming. Some BSD distros and such may be the first to support it, and if it's sufficiently stable then maybe more neutral distros (can't think of any off the top of my head). If it demonstrates itself as being superior then SteamOS may adopt it as they have full control of their hardware and experience, followed by Linux Mint as they are X11 by default and it would be trivial to ensure Cinnamon maintains support.

Probably the biggest problem would be if desktop environments and apps refuse to support it, Gnome would be actively hostile to X12 but KDE might be on the fence.
