Every major DE defaults to Wayland now, bruv. You can give up the X11 pitchfork. Even holdouts like Cinnamon have added experimental support.
- Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599 16 hours ago:
If the PC is running Windows, the spying is worse. Linux is a good choice, though.
- Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades 1 day ago:
No problem homie. LMK if you have any more questions.
- Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades 1 day ago:
Newer kernel and drivers for graphics cards. Fedora runs a more close to bleeding edge kernel, mesa, etc. whereas Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Servicing) builds, so they don’t “rock the boat” as much with things like newer kernels as frequently.
Mint’s Cinnamon Desktop Environment also only supports the older X11 display server (Wayland is experimental right now) whereas GNOME and KDE desktops on Fedora default to Wayland. This translates to more modern and efficient window rendering.
Basically: Mint: “Just works. Don’t rock the boat. This will be stable into the heat death of the universe” Fedora: “Maximum speed and features at reasonable stability”
- Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades 1 day ago:
If you’re using your computer for web browsing, document editing, etc., Mint is a great choice.
If you are doing a lot of gaming, I’d suggest Fedora with either GNOME or the KDE spin.
- Comment on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable 2 days ago:
I don’t think they existed then.
- Comment on Floating turbine towers above — the S1500 hovers to harvest wind at 131 feet 1 week ago:
Have data to prove that? Because existing wind turbines hardly kill any birds. That’s oil lobby shit leaking through.
- Comment on New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater 1 week ago:
Charge cycles tend to improve as technology and processes improve. Other sodium ion batteries started out similarly limited in cycles and have since basically matched lithium ion.

Same. Loved her character.
- Comment on Android will become a locked-down platform in 194 day 2 weeks ago:
Sadly, no. Your best bet is Lineage is without gapps. Aurora and F-Droid covers pretty much everything I use, so that’s likely my move in the near future.
- Comment on Countries that do not embrace AI could be left behind, says OpenAI’s George Osborne 2 weeks ago:
Capitalist pig says buy our product or else. Story at 11.
- Comment on Valve Acknowledges Steam Deck Shortages Due To Global Memory and Storage Issues 2 weeks ago:
Same here. I have an AM4 board with a 5800X that cost $110 and a 9060XT I got for $10 above MSRP. I was complaining I couldn’t get it at MSRP back then, but now I’m not complaining anymore.
Something tells me I won’t be upgrading for a while.
- Comment on Ring cancels its partnership with Flock Safety after surveillance backlash 2 weeks ago:
Don’t worry. They are still partnered with that taser and body armor making company I can’t remember that name of. Flok will probably just pull from them which pulls from Ring, so they’ll get the data somehow.
- Comment on Star Wars: Galactic Racer - Gameplay Trailer 2 weeks ago:
I am very interested in this, but the fact they’re “slow rolling” actual pod racing is…an odd choice. Everybody universally liked Episode 1 Racer. Why are they not focusing primarily on pod racing, with other types of vehicles also there?
Seems weird that it’s the other way around and makes me think this is another Star Wars Squadrons, which is a game I was extremely excited about, but the controls sucked on and EA botched.
- Comment on No Man's Sky Remnant Trailer 3 weeks ago:
If you like the style of gameplay, it is nothing like it’s original launch state.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Lol what the actual fuck is this game. I’m interested, but also slightly disturbed 😂
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 3 weeks ago:
It has voice and video. It’s more a messaging app than something like a Discord alternative. It is secure SMS-like experience with audio and video calls.
I use it a lot and donate to Signal. It’s awesome.
- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 3 weeks ago:
I have gone all AMD graphics since converting to Linux. My 9060XT 16GB and 6600 8GB both are going strong.
Fuck NVidia.
- Comment on Ubiquiti: The U.S. Tech Enabling Russia's Drone War 5 weeks ago:
Do their switches still stop forwarding traffic when you make changes for 10-30 seconds?
- Comment on RAM shortage chaos expands to GPUs, high-capacity SSDs, and even hard drives 1 month ago:
I upgraded all of my devices to 16gb or 32gb of RAM just as all this crap started happening, before prices spiked, and made sure I have enough storage.
Now I’m just praying that all of the hardware holds out for 2-3 years to weather this storm. Please keep on chugging, my 5800X in a B550 mobo…I literally can’t afford to replace you anytime soon.
- Comment on Cloudflare defies Italy’s Piracy Shield, won’t block websites on 1.1.1.1 DNS 1 month ago:
Banning groups like that only amplifies their “persecuted” persona. It’s best to spend on education and destroying their credibility, which is how we dealt with fucking idiots before we got complacent.

It’s Copilot all the way down.

Remaining it to CoPilot Browser in 3…2…
- Comment on The new version of PCSX2 2.6.02, the free open source PlayStation 2 emulator is released 1 month ago:
I started to get really nervous reading the beginning of the headline, expecting some litigation thing. Glad I was wrong and it’s just a wonderful update blog.
- Comment on Linux Slicer 2 months ago:
I prefer Cura and it has native binaries and Flatpak.
- Comment on The ‘doorman fallacy’: why careless adoption of AI backfires so easily 2 months ago:
Which is ironic because AI unpredictably makes errors.
- Comment on Today in “Google Broke Email” 2 months ago:
TIL you can add IMAP and POP3 to Gmail to import your email.
Why would anyone with another email service WANT that? Do you like giving Google even more data than they already have on you?
- Comment on Steam Link for Non-Steam games on Wayland? (Linux) 2 months ago:
Are the games launching via xwayland when they’re not working? Are they displaying normally on your desktop monitor, but just not streaming correctly?
