Yeah, that sounds like the age old “why so many desktops (or other apps)” debate. Because we can. Because doing new things is fun. Because this isn’t all about being effective and capitalist logic.

You have checked Krita? I’m not doing much so it’s more than enough for me.

Is it easy to get NVIDA drivers, Vulkan, Cuda etc in Debian? I somehow thought that was kind finicky, not sure why …

Can confirm that the Razer BIOS is absolutely bar bones. Never really minded that and as I said aside of the non-working speakers (apparently a known problem with Razer) it was all good.

I’ve used a Razer Blade 16 last year and could never get the speakers to work no matter what I tried. Tested quite a few distros (Mint, Manjaro, Debian) and ultimately settled on Fedora. Didn’t mind the speakers not working much since I used Bluetooth speakers/headphones mostly anyway. Other then that Fedora worked prefectly.

Not much new for me, already on Plasma 6.2 with Kinoite, but there seems to be an alternative to rpm-ostree coming up (not sure if/why it’s needed/better but if I don’t have to remember when it is “rpm-ostree” and when it’s “ostree” in cli I’m all for it 😸):

Lol.

Yeah, making that G capital really makes it look like a C, amazing job 🤦‍♀️

Ah, ok. Very nice!

Intro-skipping is build-in now? Did I get this right? I thought they decided against it?

And it doesn’t seem to have any consequences anyway, since in capitalism you can get away with anything if you’re rich and they know that.

“Labour”, indeed.

Also Blender = Nvidia (judging by Blenderbenchmarks, never had an Amd card so can’t compare in praxis …)

I can’t believe that there’s actually finally some good news in all this horror that has been the last years. Can this be true?

No, they’ll spend the whole term saying they’ll do things much better than the Tories and then either do nothing or do worse.

So they would be private but still run by the NHS?

Check the manual (online if you don’t have one). Usually you longpress a (touch)button on the earbuds to get them into pairing-mode, then add them as a new Bluetooth device on your OS.

I’m sure it’s just capitalism!

Btw, I don’t even know, are all hospitals in the UK owned by for-profit evilcorps (what could possibly go wrong?!) like in Germany?

Netdata is far simpler to set up than Grafana from what I remember but it does phone home by default (you can disable it in via options in docker or something). On one of my servers it doesn’t show container names which is kinda a bummer but I didn’t care enough to troubleshoot that, since I mostly ssh in and use btop anyway …

My gut feeling is that that’s not a smart move …
