  • Isn’t Aurora still Fedora? Then it probably wouldn’t solve the issue with gaming on Fedora being made so difficult to set up, that it forced one of the more popular distros to shut down.

    Bazzite is a gaming focused distro, so I wager that that would be a major problem for a lot of people.

    The only choice for a lot of gamers (including me) will simply be to not use Fedora, and find a new distro to switch to, which is a shame. (Although, it will probably just be SteamOS at that point). I’m also worried about my Lenovo Legion Go. It’s unusable with Windows, and Bazzite being atomic is a really really good fit for it, and they have builds specially tailored for Legion.

    But we still have two years to go, so we’ll see. I don’t think Fedora has the power and market share to force others to follow with depreciation of 32b, and unless other distros join in, it will just be a PR disaster and people will just begrudgingly move to other distros.








  • I really enjoyed my time with Nobara, and it was what made the switch to Linux stick for me, so I am grateful for the project.

    But, I don’t get why would anyone consider Brave, with the many scandals they had, their failed attempts at extorting content creators for their own advertising crypto-scam and other advertising stuff? Plus, it’s chromium when we need to push firefox more, either Mullvad or LibreWolf.

    Either it’s a really negligient research, or they got paid. It’s a shame. I already switched to Bazzite, so it doesn’t really affect me, but it’s sad to see decisions like this. I wonder what happened.

    EDIT: I should have clicked the link instead of wildly speculating :D

    Brave was not our first or immediate choice, however the decision to change to Brave comes after a long period of testing with various browsers failing in some way or another.

    Firefox and firefox based browsers (such as floorp and librewolf) would incur a GPU crash when scrolling live videos (things like youtube shorts, tiktok, etc) with VRR enabled: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/12528

    Chromium and Vivaldi both would break google meets with hardware acceleration enabled (however their flatpaks were fine)








  • Lol. We’re as far away from getting to AGI as we were before the whole LLM craze. It’s just glorified statistical text prediction, no matter how much data you throw at it, it will still just guess what’s the next most likely letter/token based on what’s before it, that can’t even get it’s facts straith without bullshitting.

    If we ever get it, it won’t be through LLMs.

    I hope someone will finally mathematically prove that it’s impossible with current algorithms, so we can finally be done with this bullshiting.
