Hot take: both are ass.

I have NEVER tried OpenSuse because it seems utterly pointless. I have tried Fedora, though, and every single time, I somehow break it after an update. Could just be a skill issue, but I rarely have that issue with any other Linux distro.

Besides, if I really just wanted a "Just-Works" distro, I'd just go for Mint instead.

Opinion discarded.

OpenSUSE is basically Fedora but perfected by autistic Germans. It offers the absolute best KDE integration out of all distros out there.

Been using Fedora for the last couple years because, surprisingly, "it just works". I get paid to fix shit on Linux systems, I want to go back home and just use the damn thing, not have to worry about it. And it never broke on me.



But as it turns out, they got rid of YaST... what a damn shame, I've always found it super comfy to use.

A more braindead than average I tried Linux video. It's like bog's videos but dumber.

Also the "why does every Linux program have a million buttons and settings" nigger that's KDE not just all Linux programs.

Niggercattle shouldn't use computers at all regardless of OS. And they mostly wouldn't if given the choice. Even Windows could only do much to get normalfags to sit down at a desktop like a fuckin nerd. Smartphones have done way more damage to the internet, software, and how people use technology than Windows has.

i was going to write an essay on this but i decided to summarize it with
you should be very afraid of apple going to arm. linux and apple development on arm is pretty good and microsoft will eventually be forced to follow suit to stay relevant.
i do expect full arm dominance in the next like 10 years. your gaming rig will be arm.
 
Nigger, PLEASE, can you hold a fucking scene for more than half a second?

I mean, they've already been dipping their toes in trying to tardwrangle WinNT under ARM for a few good years now? It's just that outside of Apple ARM is still non-existent in this market outside of a handful of Qualcomm based laptops.

yast was sadly not updated with the latest features, so they're working on a replacement for it
my problem with it was it replaced some featuress i needed like kde's printing manager. they basically broke it and used yast as a crutch to do your printer managing for you.
i think when i asked them about it it was because i was trying to do something with btrfs and they never added btrfs functionality to that part of yast
for the most part though opensuse was one of the buggier distros i used, and within a few weeks i was running into widespread problems with vendors, and packages just not fucking working leaving me to use the flatpaks instead

I hate this type of editing so much it's unreal and makes me MATI. It's nauseating to watch.

yeah microsoft's docs on arm r decent but apple throws staff at developers to help them ship their software on arm. microsoft is far behind that and just provides the tools necessary to ship, and you're kinda on your own at that point. level1techs did a video on that a while back but i couldn't find it for you if i tried. it may be this video but idk

I'm honestly amazed the Snapdragon Dev Kit is still not here... it seemed like the key component to getting devs to start working on their Arm builds for Windows. It feels like Microsoft shot first, and everyone's asking questions later—the consumer laptops shouldn't have launched yet with the state of Windows on Arm and Qualcomm Snapdragon X support today.So far I haven't found a person who bought a Snapdragon X and said "this laptop is so much better" yet. When Apple launched the M-series laptops, tons of people felt like it was a completely different and better experience than the laptops that came before.

You can also use this https://fil-c.org/ to compile a c/c++ project to be memory safe without having to modify your program. It's a fork of clang that adds memory safety checks in the compiled code (similar to rust with array index checks, but of course more sophisticated because it's not done a language level). It works for real projects, including the xorg server.

Huh. That is genius. I'm assuming this was created to assist in Unreal Engine security testing? Very cool, I assume that this could potentially catch problems that might not cause an immediate crash when a program is fuzzed if it was compiled with a standard C/C++ compiler.
 
Gentlemen,

I've swapped to mint today, as part of an attempt to escape windows 11, but I've run into one very specific problem. I have no idea how to set up the fancy custom cursors I was using prior to the switch. Do any of you guys know how to set that up? I still have the image files, I just can't find any guides on how to make them function. Do any of you guys know of a good guide?
