Why is the cc-by-nc-sa license disappointing? Is your disappointment exclusive to version 4.0?
My only disappontment is with those humans (and humans who use ““humans””) who side with AI model using corporations that steal other people’s content to train said models for profit, over regular everyday people.
Nice off-topic comment. Pretty sure by now everybody is aware of that (and other posts) on the topic of using a license.
Personally I suggest Fedora with KDE.
It has a great update cadence time frame, and good hardware support (indirectly backed by IBM). And games really well in Steam/Proton.
That’ll get you the most Windows like experience on Linux, for an average user who doesn’t like to tinker much and just wants it to work out of the box.
Just make sure to accept third party libraries / apps when you first install. It’s a single checkbox that you click.
and the kernel folks just went “it is the kernel, everything is critical”
tl;dr: this is pretty much an elaborate “go fuck yourself” towards shady ‘security’ companies.
Apologies for my ignorance, but could you elaborate?
I’m sincerely not seeing the connection between saying everything is critical as a go fuck yourself towards those companies.
Is it a ‘death by quantity’ thing?
When we finally figure out and understand, in a real world mechanical sort of way, quantum mechanics, all bets will be off.
It’ll open up a new perspective on the Universe (dare I say Metaverse?), and where we fit in with everything.
It was absolutely in there on purpose.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was actually a stealthy industry norm.
Try Fedora’s KDE spin (which uses Wayland).
I always thought it has the best hardware support.
I run a dual monitor setup, with no issues, and game often.
It’s probably this recent bug in kernel/mesa. https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/linux/-/issues/47
You need to downgrade your kernel or wait for the fix…
Confirm that ‘Above 4G Decoding’ and ‘Resizable BAR Support’ is set to on in your BIOS first!
Can confirm, my WoW crashing problem is gone since doing so. At least, I changed two settings, not just the one mentioned (see below).
I had updated my BIOS version recently, and the ‘Above 4G Decoding’ and ‘Resizable BAR Support’ was turned off, instead of inheriting the previous BIOS version setting of them being turned on previously.
That said, it wouldn’t do much in your scenario unless other UIs did something similar (i.e. you’d still need to cross-reference you comments to accommodate other UIs that view them separately). It would just make it easier on you to participate in conversation on 3 posts simultaneously. I guess it would be a bit easier to cross-reference your comments since you could do it from the same page, though.
You’re right, and something else to consider, I use the Lemmy web client, not a mobile app client.
A generalization, but it sounds like you’re trying to fix Federation, by making things defederated, to make things more centralized.
Federation has good points, and bad points. I don’t mean to discourage you from your conversation, but I think you need to consider the meta of what Federation is.
Having said all that, I recently participated in a conversation about EA putting ads in their games, and there was three different posts in three different communities, on the same subject.
I literally had to add links in my comment, that I was duplicating, to the other two duplicated comments of mine, so they were all cross referenced. It was definitely a pain in the butt to do so.
EDIT: As discussed above, turning on ‘Above 4G Decoding’ and ‘Resizable BAR Support’ settings in my BIOS fixed the problem.
I had updated my BIOS recently, and the ‘Above 4G Decoding’ and ‘Resizable BAR Support’ was turned off, instead of inheriting the previous BIOS version setting of them being turned on.
Does anyone know why OW2 may be crashing on Arch? I thought it was just me, but I went to protondb and saw more reports. The only solutions I found from historical crashing non-Arch related was for nVidia users, but I’m on AMD.
Any clue why it may be? And, more importantly, what the solution may be?
It crashes shortly after starting if that helps.
Not sure if its related, but throwing this reply your way, just in case.
WoW has been crashing for me too last couple of days, consistently. Launched via Battle.net launcher.
Its weird, but the only way I can get it to not crash is by letting the first WoW session crash on startup, NOT closing the exception error message dialog or the report the crash to Blizzard dialog, and then start up a second session of WoW. That second session plays fine.
I had played first session WoW normally for a week, then stopped to have lunch one day, and when I came back from lunch and started up WoW again, this crashing crap had just started.
I tried using Bottles (both native and flatpak), Lutris, and Steam. The ‘run twice’ trick is being done on Steam (native not flatpak) using experimental. Using Fedora/KDE spin.
Not sure where to report this ‘bug’ to on the Internet. Any ideas?
Really happy to see them continuing to improve on their multi-monitor support.
From the article…
On Wayland, KWin can now be configured to pull color profile information from the monitor’s EDID metadata where present. Note that color profile information in EDID metadata is often wrong, so use this setting with caution.
Can anyone speak towards why the EDID metadata is often wrong?
Edit: TY to all who responded.
What do you think of Fedora? So far I enjoy the stability combined with near-arch levels of getting new updates!
I switched away from other distros to Fedora (KDE spin), and am happy here.
Do I wish they were better open-source citizens, yes, of course! But they’re still allot better than Microsoft/Windows close-source solution.
And as far as the distro goes, its nice to have solid support for hardware, and a good rolling release cycle that doesn’t brick my OS, and that has quick support for gaming, etc.
If you’re the type of person who wants a Windows alternative OS to use as just a tool for gaming/business first and foremost, and not to tinker with the OS for fun (unless they want to), Fedora is the best, and what we all should be proposing to others when they ask about moving to Linux.
Fellow gamers, now is the time to push back on this crap. If you don’t do it now, you’ll live with this forever. They tried doing this in past generations as well, and failed.
Spread the word, tell others. Be vocal! Advocate for this not happening.
And if someone tells you that this isn’t preventable, tell them not to be cynical. Remind them of the other positive changes we were able to have happen recently in gaming, and that in the past when they tried this, the pushback was successful in keeping the gaming companies from doing so.
And remember, some of those you would try to convince are probably astroturfers/bots.

I’m sorry if I made you feel that way.
I appreciate that, thank you for saying that. And no, it wasn’t you, its just been a ‘busy’ week for me here on Lemmy is all.
And TY for the education on join-lemmy.org.
You’re welcome. I appreciate you helping out with normalizing signature lines.
