It’s an idiot thing is what it is

Back when I switched to Linux, Nvidia worked much better than AMD cards, but everyone hates them for not providing open source drivers, understandably

In my experience, Nvidia drivers work just fine. They’re just proprietary, and once in a while they release a faulty driver (which you can just roll back ofc). Happened to me a couple of times over the past… 14 years, fuck

You can always check ProtonDB

This is a bit of a stretch I think…

Web development is complicated because it’s indredibly poorly “designed” from the beginning, and doing a full redo is impossible.

It is 100x easier today than it was in 2006 when I started.

Kidding aside, I think the popular frameworks these days are incredibly well made. Frontend web has always been hell, and if your job is producing functional web GUIs, you can’t do it on a large scale without them.

I’m doing a small hobby project (a ladder/ranking system for playing beer sports with my community), and I tried out Tailwind.

I gave up and loaded Bootstrap instead, but I will probably end up just writing all the CSS myself.

Seems so silly to have 15 CSS classes on a single DOM element…

If you spend a lot of time on a single framework, you will transcend and become a sort of frontend diety, growing multiple extra limbs allowing you to type in CSS classes faster than any mere mortal

Source?

What about EndeavourOS?

What about Arch?

For some reason our business policy doesn’t allow us to use the web versions…

Ubuntu is very popular in businesses cus it’s Debian but with official enterprise support (I strongly dislike both though).

Luckily all my work is in WSL2 Arch terminal with tmux, so it’s bearable, but I miss my rice setup so much!

Yes! I’m so close to being able to switch the office PC to Linux. I only really use Outlook and Teams, everything else is in a terminal.

Now to convince Security that I don’t need their intrusive logging and scanning crap…

You made this?

I honestly still use Perl for small scripts as a Bash alternative. It is very powerful and is already installed everywhere. I just try not to use it for things others might have to work on…

I shudder at the thought of the ancient 1000+ lines Perl scripts… The seal must not be broken

Also proprietary and requires a “Gamer License” to host servers for more than 32 users.

Mumble is, and has always been, the king of voice chat apps and is completely FOSS. Also it works a lot better.

I find it funny that people are picking another proprietary piece of crap that, by the way, also requires a license to host servers with more than 32 users.

Absolutely choosing Mumble over TeamSpeak.

I totally agree, except also for gaming.

Compared to alternatives, there are often lags and complete disruptions, latency is horrible, bitrate is a paid feature, and for large groups of voice channels (like managing a 500 player operation in Eve), features are still lacking.

Also security is a joke. In Mumble, you can manage (certificate based!) permissions on every level imaginable.

They spend their time on making silly themes and Nitro features nobody cares about.

I completely disagree with this and have been for years.

It has often had connectivity issues, big lags, higher latencies and lower bitrates than Mumble or even TeamSpeak.

It’s super bloated, they churn out useless “features” so fast that it keeps making it use more resources and makes everything slower.

Until recently, being in voice call with more than 3-4 people made all my 16 cores attempt self destruction.

It is a freemium piece of bloatware.
