Dehydrating isn’t impossible

I’ve encountered the issue on arch and fedora, don’t have the package name off the top of my head but both package managers ask you to pick a package to fulfill the dependency.

Most distros have a vk package that steam depends on that varies based on hardware, there is a system different package for amd than Nvidia or Intel.

I daily drive Wayland and I just have to ask, why is the clipboard and associated tooling so much worse‽ I just want input leap and neovim to both be able to properly read from and write to my clipboard. Input leap never can, and neovim has like a 50% shot at doing what I expect. Also I understand we’re moving away from x11 in general but why is there no replacement for x11 forwarding over ssh?? I know I’m a niche user, but it drives me crazy.

Rust guys want to make the kernel safer, more expressive, and easier to maintain. To do that they need to know how the kenrnel talks between its parts to ensure they are creating matching behavior. The C guys don’t really care about the Rust guys and say that they can’t be bothered to guarantee interoperability because they like to change how things work on the C side to make things better in the C code.

It’s literally just drivers that enable user choice. Steam OS is great and nobody reasonable is switching, but for those that do it’s good that they have support for the hardware.

The only OLED feature I couldn’t go back to missing is the Wake Over Bluetooth functionality that lets you use your controller to bring up the system. Not huge for some, but when you’ve got a docked setup it’s heaps more convenient.

I’m glad you made this reply on every comment, otherwise I might not have read it 40 times

No, plenty of well paying software internships.

That sounds unnecessarily painful

I also use the KDE spin of Fedora fwiw

I’m curious what distro you use. I put my partner on fedora, she’s not very techy, and generally speaking she doesn’t really have any issues doing the day to day stuff. The biggest pain point was switching to Firefox and getting its worse profile system to work, but that was not a necessary change just a choice.

As much as I want the user base to grow so companies feel obligated to support the platform, I don’t really personally want to support many people re-learning how to use their computers
