I'll never use it, Gnome is and always has been buggy, unusable trash.
Desktop Linux in general is bad.
And it couldn't be any other way, really, because GTK is fundamentally a poorly designed toolkit.

Web devs have long ago come to the conclusion that the way to design an interface is to do the layout in a declarative language and then to keep the logic as separate as possible from it. The failure of both GTK and QT to make this kind of design process possible is the reason we have so many people opting for electron and similar webshit instead, and why KDE and Gnome are so incredibly buggy.

They shifted a few things around, broke all extensions and called it a major release. Why do they do this?

So after asking around here on whether or not I should buy a mini PC (in this case a Minisforum UM790) I just went ahead and bought it. Got the barebones version for $500 and threw in 32GB of laptop memory and 2x256GB NVME sticks. Now a few weeks later, I have to say that I am quite happy with my purchase. Windows worked flawlessly after doing all the required driver updates. As far as Linux I tested probably 6 or 7 distros. I had trouble with suspend on a few of them (don't remember which) until I updated the BIOS to 1.07, now everything works fine.
Running a dual-monitor setup with a 1920x1200@75hz over HDMI and a 2560x1600@120hz over a single cable USB-4. Everything just works and this thing is a real powerhouse. Plays all my games 1920x1200@75 which is enough for me. I mostly play older Unreal Engine titles and stuff like Dead Cells, Transistor etc. Not a hardcore gamer by any means.
It also stays very quiet and cool, I can leave it on my desk working overnight doing light work like yt-dl or bulk webm to mp3 conversions.
There is no coil whine which is a huge deal to me.
Yes I spent my own money on this, but I made the thread because I heard a lot of people have issues with these things but I haven't had any crashes or real issues. Let me know if you have any questions, these little PCs should be more popular than they are.

It's the most powerful mobile Ryzen currently. It's not a desktop CPU but a workstation laptop one.
>>
>>96293359
I agree, my main machine at home is an Asus PN50 with a Ryzen 3. I got it because it was dirt cheap and had enough USB connectors so that I could do my backups without shuffling drives. It's capable of running four monitors (two USB-C, one HDMI, one on some other connector I don't know the name of).

Only problem is, the HDMI got fried somehow (I think it's because it overheated when Firefox caused a swap thrash -- yes, there's no reason this should have happened; yes, they happened at the exact same time; yes, it might be coincidence; no, I don't think it was coincidence) so now I have to use a USBC-to-HDMI adapter, which kinda sucks but at least it still works.

Another downside is that now I want to get a GPU so I can play with Stable Diffusion, but that means I need to get a full-sized PC with a motherboard capable of getting a GPU plugged into it.

BTW, it runs Debian 12 and Knoppix 9.1 just fine. Only issue is that K91 doesn't have the right driver to run my HDMI monitor; I get a blank all-green screen when I try. D12 works fine though.

>/g/ makes a tenth album
Theme: Boardcore: Songs based on the boards from everyones favorite cambodian scrapbooking BBS
Title: <number of songs> Traditional Mongolian Basket Weaving Songs
Submission deadline: TBA

Please post album covers, and keep in mind that if you want to include text, you might want to also upload the project file (or layers + font) so that once the tracklist is finalized I can make a proper version, in case you're not present at that time. Otherwise I'm probably going to photoshop something if possible.
Or ideally you can upload a cover for each number between 10 and 30, if you're willing to put in the time.

basically this. there are small changes in overall form factor and diaphragm material, but thinking that every new release will have a newly developed driver is wrong. remember that all of these chifi companies are most probably sharing the same building and factories in their district, and that R&D and parts are often shared and used in different models.

you will see more changes in terms of damping, driver placement, front/back volumes, and crossover implementation than driver tech.

The boomer owner of that scanner and laptop still had to use his old pc with fucking windows xp to be able to scan. Now he only uses Mint (dual booted it on his laptop), and he's the kind of person who would faint at the sight of a terminal emulator.

It's time for Chrome/ium to have its security taken seriously. We've had five zero days now this year that affect multiple browsers due to library exploits. Chrome needs to be audited by cyber security experts and have it rewritten formally verified code. Plus insecure APIs need to have their backward compatibility broken and force webdevs to write secure code. It's undeniable that Chrome is the Internet's de-facto API now, and everything that goes into Chrome gets imitated by Webkit and Gecko. It's going to be painful, but we need to deal with the reality that Glowies from multiple governments are targeting Chrome and its 3 billion users. Unupdated browsers should be kill-switched off the internet or at least put into quarantine where they can only access whitelisted sites, including all Windows 7 users.

We also need to build in a real-time update protocol too, where you're always updated the moment you connect to the internet. That's what Microsoft does to keep the Xbox secure. I hope Mozilla and Apple follow suit, plus your precious Lion browser too.

>Glowies from multiple governments are targeting Chrome and its 3 billion users
I mean, I don't really care if the NSA found a backdoor for example. I think they knew about the exploit used for WannaCry for 5 years before WannaCry happened. I suppose they kept that knowledge to themselves so that they could exploit important targets if needed. Did the NSA use this exploit to try and steal loads of money from tons of people? No. Instead, North Korea did, with the WannaCry attack.

So yeah, I'm not really bothered about "glowies", if that means western intelligence agencies. They're not going to care about me because I'm not a criminal or terrorist or whatever. What I'm bothered about is cybercriminals. Which could be within the West, or could also be state-sponsored, as we've seen from North Korea (but they could come from other countries that don't like the West too).
