Well you see, there is a reason I'm on windows, because I can't use Linux for what I need, unless... Maybe you want to do a commit on the Linux kernel and amd driver to enhance the libVF.IO compatibility for recent amd gpus? Oh and don't forget commits on overwolf for Linux/wine support and some other things too hmm?

Currently florisboard doesn't have prediction nor autocorrect prediction.

Due to complications in the development of that feature (either too heavy to run or not smart enough for prediction...) and the development of the app got stuck, until maybe recently where it seems to get some dev attraction on some topics.

Tho the prediction is still stuck. So you won't have yet prediction or smart things in this keyboard.

What this? The user to user or device encryption? From the article, it seems that they stand also against device scanning.

Currently, there are some alternatives, or bluetooth versions which work pretty well.

Often wireless gaming brands offer a usb dongle. That dongle often uses a proprietary protocol over 2.4ghz. And allow enough bandwidth for audio and mic. Some brand give more or less bandwidth to the mic, or have better compression, or bandwidth.

And currently, there is a fairly "new", already here since bt 5.3 : LC3. It's a very well optimised protocol which allows for about the same quality at lower bandwidth than other protocol. It also has lower latency. This protocol has started to be used by gaming brands, like Creative, in a usb dongle. Or even in standalone headphones. On the Creative headset, it would allow enough bandwidth for audio and mic without much compromise (like if it wad a proprietary dongle).

Obviously the quality may not be as good as wired. But it should be enough for most people.

Huawei also seems to have announced (not sure if yet released, it should be in an honor phone), their bluetooth competitor. They say 6x faster (more bandwidth I guess) https://newatlas.com/mobile-technology/nearlink-wireless-huawei/.

For less work and nice interface on a laptop, I can suggest Pop OS. Tho you would still need to install software and tools.

It is using gnome, but you can install extensions to change how the desktop appears.

Gnome is pretty good for laptops and supports gestures pretty well.

Pop os has already installed extensions allowing switching for optimus and they have an ISO with nvidia drivers already installed.

How optimus switching works on Linux is : There are 3 modes :

  • integrated (nvidia disabled)
  • hybrid (intel used, Nvidia available at very low power constantly. Nvidia gpus cannot be disabled in this mode. It uses more power than integrated becauset the nvidia gpu is running at low power)
  • dedicated (nvidia gpu, highest power consumption)

In hybrid mode, When you want to use the nvidia gpu in games or something which cannot auto detect the gpus in it's configuration, you need to launch it with an argument to get it to run on the nvidia gpu.

For games, i suggest to use proton-ge on steam, by enabling the compatibility in the settings. Proton-ge has enhancements compared to default proton with automatic launch of gamemode (additional software to be installed), already integrated fsr 1... It is also available for other software (heroic launcher (gui for legendary)/legendary (epic games & gog) with Wine-GE, and specific versions for Lutris...

For garuda Linux, when i tried it, it was a trash experience. I wasn't even able to install wine because it wanted to remove the audio driver (pipewire if I remember), and obviously not tested by the devs. Wine was installing perfectly fine on other distros.

And as said in another comment, no idea for nobara, I couldn't boot into it.

As other comments suggested too, Linux mint is a good one too. The switch between gpu config isn't made through the power menu, but through the nvidia panel for that distro.

However I don't like it very much for dual booting, because even if I make another efi partition, it still writes to the windows partition. So when I delete the linux mint partitions, I still have a Linux mint entry lingering in the bios. I uses cinnamon as a desktop. It works great too. Tho not sure how well it got updated to gestures compared to gnome.

Then maybe I can make you discover a very nice tool : Winget or chocolatey whichever you want to use. They both can be used in cli.

However, I personally like the WingetUI software. Nice looking and supports winget, chocolatey, scoop and other. It also automatically checks for updates. It can either give you a notification, or maybe even auto update. Tho I'm not sure if it would solve your complete reinstall each time.

To install wingetUI : Search for powershel > open without administrator privilege > type "winget install wingetui" > enter. Follow and read.

Once installed you ca launch it and choose the sources (I recommend selecting winget and chocolatey at least, I like winget better than chocolatey as version numbers are closer to the real one). it also auto updates on launch.

And to install it, just search for it :

You can also install though winget or chocolatey without wingetui, but you'll have to update manually through the cli.

I like Firefox mostly because it's cool to have engine competition. I mostly use the default dark theme. It looks good enough for me. I don't look much at the top when browsing.

On android it's still lagging behind the chromium competition. And having mismatched browsers isn't great for syncing. So I just use Firefox on android too, good enough.

Tho, if miss matching wasn't an issue, personally I think I would use Kiwi browser. It's an open source chromium browser which supports chrome extensions.

[-] Tibert@jlai.lu 6 points 1 year ago

Mot likely it won't need to have chrome. However maybe Google services may be required.

However it is also very likely, if a device cannot support such feature, it will only require a password and 2fa.

As much as I disagree on paying 10$/m for a search engine, I will disagree with your take on their data sharing.

In their privacy policy https://kagi.com/privacy , they state that they collect logs :

  • Kagi server identification, configuration, and performance (CPU, RAM, etc.)
  • Identifiers that tell us what code paths were taken
  • Time measurements of individual steps of request fulfillment
  • Summaries of requests made to third parties

Absent from our logs are any identifying information about your client

Tho I'm not sure how they could fulfill these purposes :

  • Prevent abuse of our product from bad actors (DDOS, etc.)
  • Detecting abuse of our platform

With only logs on how the serice îs used anonymously.

They do send the logs to Sentry for analysis. But without any search query, from what they say.

I have no real idea, only suppositions :

(I'm not treating Ukraine as the enemy, this is a full supposition).

The real hard part is costs and time. If the soldiers pushed the front lines, and there is no risk of enemy attacks behind the line, there can be multiple things in the way :

The terrain may not always be good for fast travel. With difficult terrains or mud and water.

And because front lines aren't perfect, there is always the risk of enemy attack behind, destroying supplies.

Now why exactly Russia did not send supplies to their soldiers, no real idea. They only know what they chose to do.

Ukraine is huge, giant. Going up to the front lines takes time and money. And well I very much guess that Russia just sent soldiers without care, maybe even now they doing that. They underestimated Ukrakne's defenses and the support they get from other countries.

Finished some time ago afterimage. Pretty good metroidvania. I liked it despite some negative comments, I did not find many of the issues described, or very little of it. Tho I used a map to find my way around collectables.

Recently finished hogwarts Legacy. It's pretty good too, but it's cursed with bugs and not sure if it's abandoned by the dav as there wasn't any update in 5 months. Tho most of the game is fine without game breaking bugs or too visible.

I started yesterday GRIME. Another metroidvania. For now it's a bit soon to have a real opinion, but it's OK.
