Wow, this looks nice!

Don’t know about its current state but this helped me a lot with moving out to a new place, years ago. The version how I remember wouldn’t be so helpful with renovations I think. Still can be used as placeholder though.

True. But this is mildly infuriating community and the image was mildly infuriating from a designer point of view. Mildly infuriating-ception, if you will.

I know it’s most likely a stock image, was just stating the obvious. Even stock images are bad nowadays.

Pasta in this picture doesn’t look cooked and probably the water is not hot as well since they added a smoke effect.

So, it’s not just banking, payment apps etc. but all of the apps will eventually go there? Does this mean all of the custom ROMs have to become more device specific like GrapheneOS rather than just the devices using the same peripherals to solve an issue like this? (if it’s solvable by devs)

Apparently older devices that don’t get updates with their stock ROMs will also face problems because of this, even though they can be used as up-to-date with custom ROMs.

It can’t cost 1 trillion yen if you don’t sell it though.

Ok, that’s even funnier. Unless there is a conspiracy. :)

Kinda funny that this is on Github.

If that game can run on a VM, pretty sure you can play it even though you have activate Windows watermark.

To be fair, I don’t know any benchmark for this comparison. But I just tried a relatively big file with both of them. Opening part is not really noticeable, but fast-forwarding is much better and slicker in mpv. In VLC it looks like it’s jumping between scenes, in mpv you actually see the motion of it’s getting fast-forward.

Yes it’s quite noticeable, especially with the bigger file size. mpv is really light.

You can still use older hardware in 2025. So, yes.

That makes sense. Nouveau isn’t mature for some use cases yet, even though they made a huge jump with NVK. Hardware upgrade might be closer than you think then.

Even on X11? I tried it on Wayland months ago to see its state and it was generally fine except gaming. Though the results still might depend on the card in use I guess.

Well, you can hold onto that GPU for a little longer with X11. But it seems you’ll need an upgrade some time later. Though if you don’t game (aside from FOSS ones), Nouveau driver should do the job for your daily needs. However, it still needs time for Wayland.

There are still some quirks but it’s been generally fine for me with Nvidia, almost a year now.

That’s nice to see actually. Though Sidebery is much more than sidebar or vertical tabs. It has everything.

No chaos. Only Sidebery.

For games it’s really great unless that game you’re looking for has kernel-level anticheat. You can check ProtonDB for Steam games, Lutris for other platforms. If you prefer single-player games mostly like me, you won’t have much of a problem.

For music, there are software like Ardour and LMMS. For video editing, you can check KDEnlive.

Before switching, I suggest you to try at least a couple different distros on a virtual machine, better if you have a separate laptop to try things. PopOS is great. You can also check Linux Mint, Bazzite and openSUSE Leap.
