Linux news

Installing is just following directions. It’s maintaining it after you Frankenstein the hell out of it that most new users struggle with

there is no proprietary AMD Linux driver

I mean, there is. It just isn’t recommended for most users.

FYI: If you aren’t aware, Arch has a CLI installer now that is very easy to use, should you ever want to give it a try (archinstall)

Endeavour is basically Arch with a more user friendly installer, a very small number of their own packages, and a coat of paint.

Manjaro is similar, except Manjaro runs their own repositories and delays packages for testing. This can lead to a whole bunch of issues when combined with the AUR. The team leading it has also been shown to be a little inept at times. I wouldn’t personally recommend it.

TBF, that’s pretty much how mystical it is: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-clear-ram-memory-cache-buffer-and-swap-space-on-linux/

…What are you talking about?

That makes the stat worse, not better, no?

Uncounted users means fewer posts per user.

Oh, 100%. In terms of posts per active user, they look to be killing it.

most active instance on lemmy

In the case of “frequently defederated”? Or in General?

Looking at FediDB (which seems a little broken), it seems like Lemmy.World is tripling their monthly posts.

Manjaro might be good, but you’ll have to adjust the vacuum’s clock every time you want to clean

Ah yeah, fair enough.

@[email protected] you might want to look into disabling error reporting in production 👍

There’s a submission link on the top of the page

Search seems broken. The following gives me a “Something went wrong” page

While I don’t disagree with your sentiment, it seems like this list is just “self hosted open source alternatives”. Even if there are better options, Gitea still falls under that definition, no?

This was my thinking exactly. Figured “Okay, he probably just waved awkwardly or something”

Nah, not so much.

STOP I can’t afford to know this stuff exists right now!

I have also come across Windscribe, which seems reasonably well respected. Sadly, they make you pay extra for a static IP and port forwarding.

AirVPN has a lot of people complaining about connection speed.

Options are drying up 😢

Also curious. I left Mullvad because they stopped supporting port forwarding. Proton seemed like the best second option privacy/feature/price wise at the time. IVPN was touted highly around that time, but it appears they have also phased out port forwarding

I disagree with this as a default, but think it might be a good idea as something users could toggle.
