I have a framework 13. Bought it with 12th gen intel mainboard, upgraded it to AMD when that came out. Also upgraded the battery, RAM, and soon the screen when the 120hz one ships. It’s super easy to get into, just five screws and then pop the trackpad/keyboard cable off. I honestly love it.

Framework has fantastic support for windows and Linux. There used to be some minor fixes needed on certain models but they’ve since resolved them and my experience on Fedora and Arch have been plug and play. On windows they have a driver install script that installs everything in one go, that’s nice too. And yes Minecraft does run on Linux, at least the Java version does. Idk about bedrock though

I want something like the fair phone but they’re so overpriced and not sold in my region

Wish we’d see PFLP at the table for these sorts of things

This article is pushing end of history nonsense lol, they say shit like “Chinese leaders pay lip service to communist ideology but truly have adopted a post-ideological framework” lmao

Instead of installing packages through a package manager one at a time and configuring your system by digging into individual config files, NixOS has you write a single config file with all your settings and programs declared. This lets you more easily configure your system and have a completely reproducible system by just copying your nix files to another nixos machine and rebuilding.

It’s also an immutable distribution, so the base system files are only modified when rebuilding the whole system from your config, but during runtime it’s read only for security and stability.

I like KDE’s conformance to open standards, which is better than GNOME’s, and pace of development. However you’re absolutely right that the UI on KDE is inconsistent, messy, and buggy as hell. GNOME is still my go to because it’s just so polished, but I’m looking forward to COSMIC this year for that nice tiling workflow

Boxer briefs. Best of both worlds

🤷‍♂️

Or press windows key plus period if on a windows machine. Or the fn/global key on a Mac

X11 is the traditional most popular display server for Linux and other *nix systems. However it is very dated and has a lot of flaws, including endless spaghetti code that makes maintenance a nightmare, huge security holes where any application can freely scrape information from any other, and tons of bugs dating back decades. It isn’t sustainable to keep developing on X11 as a platform because it is so flawed and devs hate working on it when implementing new features or fixes.

Wayland is a modern protocol for display server/compositing tasks which seeks to directly address all of the major issues of X11. It is small and modular, with purpose driven portals and protocols written to interact with a simple core, rather than being monolithic and opaque like X11s code structure. It is security focused, with the aforementioned portals used to grant permissions to applications when needed but nothing more. Wayland has a more efficient pipeline resulting in better performance. It is overall a pleasure to work on comparatively and is a much richer, progress oriented protocol than X

Why are you hearing about it now? Because Wayland is finally mature enough to warrant almost everybody to stop using X11. There are a few features that are still not present in Wayland that should be for particular use cases, but these are exceptions nowadays. Applications are starting to prioritize Wayland compatibility, distros have overwhelmingly made the switch to it as default, and most Linux display server developers have moved away from X and onto Wayland. It seems that the transition is nearly complete but the last hurdles have certainly been creating lots of discussion

Is this connected to the term adventurism?

You’re a moron or intentionally sticking your head in the sand if you really believe this. What you’re clinging to is a backronym, not original or common usage. The term “rice” or “ricer” comes from racist old American car guys who hated that Japanese cars were becoming so popular in the 70s/80s/90s, so they called them “rice burners” as a dig at their Asian roots, to compare them to a kitchen appliance to make them seem weak, and to imply poor reliability and power compared to their beloved muscle cars. It’s racist terminology through and through and always screamed of a fragile, bruised ego
