here we go again with he tariffs. his friends made back some money after the last crash he caused so now he can go back to crashing it

Not a single gram of brain

It’s purely anecdotal but every time I’ve used an Ubuntu based distro it has been unstable or it nuked itself after 6 months to a year of use. I’ve been on fedora for 2-3 (4?) years now and I’ve not had a single issue apart from the Nvidia drivers behaving wonky sometimes.

To let you skip the article, they are pausing sales to the USA on the base models of the framework 13, presumably because those are their lowest margin models. The two affected SKUs for the moment are the Intel 125H and Ryzen 7640U

That’s actually a good change. “Parody” accounts have spread uncountable amounts of misinformation during the last election. I remember some time ago there was a Justin Trudeau “parody” account that was obviously controlled by a very right wing person because they kept posting fake shit under the name of Trudeau

Hahahahahaha my digital footprint is crazy

???

Maybe it was me idk

Their prefetching game is actually crazy

Looks really good. Let’s hope it’s more reliable than their disastrous id4

It’s rare that I see something this false on here, damn. Nvidia does supply Linux drivers and they are 95% painless nowadays (still much worse than what is found in Mesa for Amd or Intel, but the bar is high). Intel has excellent Linux support, better than AMD in some cases (think wifi chips). Anectdonally, I have had a bit of issues with my Amd laptop, and the flaws were all related to the integrated GPU!

Never was able to try mint, I only did once but the installer didn’t work for some reason, probably Nvidia related so I don’t blame mint for it.

Oh wow yeah I had forgotten about the grub update, the only way to not have a bricked computer was to be active in the arch communities because they didn’t remove the faulty package even though it was known to brick computers

The level of disillusion in the thread is insane. At no point in time is it a good idea to recommend Arch and it’s derivatives to Linux newbies. They will 100% wreck their install in the first two weeks. Even I, as a pretty experienced user had to wipe my arch install after failed update attempts, luckily I had a separate home partition. Anything else like fedora or tumbleweed will provide packages that are very up to date, but that are also tested. For example I don’t fear that updating my fedora install will completely brick the networking of my system like what happened to me on arch.

Ironically I wouldn’t recommend any Ubuntu derivatives as for some reason, every single time I’ve installed Ubuntu or one of its variants like PopOS they ended up messed up in some way or another, albeit never as critical as Arch did to me numerous times. Probably some kind of PPA issues that make the system weird because it’s always the fault of PPAs

I know it can’t take my job because I tried to make it do my job. Spoiler, it can’t. And that’s because most jobs aren’t doing things that have been done so often that Claude has an example in its training data set. If your job is that basic then yes, an AI will take it from you. Most of the programming job is actually solving a problem within the context of the codebase, not the coding itself. I am working with old and archaic technology from the 60s to the 90s and let me tell you, using the official doc is way more factual than asking any AI model about information because it will start spewing bullshit after the second prompt

Heh for me even the newest models like the new Claude are only really useful when I did the thinking and the initial code writing, and i ask it to simplify it or to make it use more efficient libraries/features. Because when asking it to do my work it produces shit, and im very junior level

Make backups of your important files, or use a separate home partition. When I used arch, more than once I had a bricked install after doing updates. The last straw for me was when after updating my network completely went out. I switched to fedora and haven’t had issues for 2+ years. Also, (this goes for every distro, but more so arch than others) NEVER update if you don’t have at least some time in front of you in case something happens. Arch was definitely a good learning experience and it was fun at first tweaking everything, but the drawbacks in stability got a bit old after a while. The AUR is a godsend and it’s the best thing ever, you should also be using an AUR helper like Yay to make your life easier.

I mean… Yeah, it pretty obviously was a mistake from the beginning. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just as bad as the conspiracy theorists who think there’s a deep state controlling us with the 5g in the vaccines. Facebook don’t have any incentive to ban the word Linux, even they use it. It’s not like it’s a subject that would make their customers go away (like NSFW stuff for example). The shit I’ve seen people say “it’s probably Microsoft paying them to censor Linux users” as if 1. Linux is any threat to windows’s market share and 2. Microsoft didn’t intentionally keep Linux alive as a way to avoid antitrust lawsuits. Microsoft is big on Linux too with azure.

The big search engine crawlers like googles or Microsoft’s should respect your robots.txt file. This trick affects those who don’t honor the file and just scrape your website even if you told it not to

Hell Nvidia’s stock plummeted as well, which makes no sense at all, considering Deepseek needs the same hardware as ChatGPT.

It’s the same hardware, the problem for them is that deepseek found a way to train their AI for much cheaper using a lot less than the hundreds of thousands of GPUs from Nvidia that openai, meta, xAi, anthropic etc. uses
