I convinced myself that manjaro is less stable than fedora. But not completely. It depends on the device and what is installed on it.

For some reason, I was able to run Manjaro on my hp laptop without issues for a long time. However my brother on his Lenovo laptop, the manjaro update just killed itself after 2 months. And this always after some months the updater would not work anymore.

I then installed Fedora on his laptop, and damn that thing stayed up and running for 2y now. Even after major system update, never broke, and package install always worked, at least when the tutorials are up to date on special things.

Like installing video codecs, I had to do another command which was not mentioned on the fedora docs, in order to switch from ffmpeg libre to ffmpeg. And then the rest of the install commands would work.

I finished Laika : Aged through blood. An indie metroidvania / 2d bike shooter / bullet time.

It’s the story of a mother in a post-apocalyptic environment having to care for her daughter and village while doing the war outside.

Everything, art, music, is a masterpiece. The music is just extremely good.

Outside of special zones, there are 20 you have to find, and it cycles between them. All 20 are voiced, with words or humming.

The story is good, and is extremely anti-war.

The gameplay feels amazing. It can be hard at first, but I quickly learned how to control the bike and and to do backflips and frontflips at the right time to reload guns and the pary.

The main character laika is one-shot, but the game isn’t very punishing. The respawn points aren’t too far away from each other, and they are optional. When you die, you loose a pouch with the currency, and can get it back.

There are some little issues with the game tho. The ending seems to be a bit rushed. The ending boss isn’t that difficult, and there were some cuts it seems.

But overall these little issues aren’t that bad, and the game is still amazing for an indie.

And i can say that it is, damn amazing!

There are some little issues with the game tho. It doesn’t tell that combo rewards more currency from enemies (it’s a timed combo, sho shooting will either increase or refresh the combo, and shooting flying bodies increases the combo up to 2 more times). The ending seems to also be a bit rushed. The ending boss isn’t that difficult, and there were some cuts it seems.

The issue is that even the same brand can have multiple USB fingerprint scanners, which may not all work.

From a 4y old reddit thread some person found a fingerprint scanner which worked, but some other person who had a similar one didn’t get it ot work.

I have no experience for this matter, nor a lot of Linux either, but there seem to be some interesting choices here (there isn’t best and worst, it’s just a list, and the most adapted to what you need).

Obviously the minimum system requirements should not be your max amount of ram. You need to account for apps or tools you’ll run.

I don’t understand some things in the water consumption.

Why do they need to humidify the air for the datacenter?

Why is there water consumption for cooling? Aren’t they recirculating water used for watercooling? Or are they using f*ing tap water then throwing it out?

Water for electricity production, kinda, yes. Could be indirectly attributed to their water consumption as they are using the electricity produced by the sources using water.

Rather push by Microsoft instead of Google?

The mx5 only support sbc (minimum to support) aac and LDAC. They dropped aptx to only use their own high latency (and not that much better) codec. The headphone has BT 5.3, but does not support LC3 (an extremely good, low latency codec integrated in base bluetooth).

If you want to check what codec is used in windows, or change, there is a tool : https://www.bluetoothgoodies.com/a2dp/

Not sure if it’s free or free trial. But they also have a software allowing to check what is currently in use which is a free trial.

(great ceo choice, she has experience in communication, which is the main thing a ceo has to do for gnome. She doesn’t need to do or participate deeply in development.

And shaman, well whatever, why do you even care?)

Don’t know, not using ublock origin. I use enhancer for YouTube on Firefox, and still not seeing any pop up.

Tho I have it set to allow ads for subscribed channels. Tho the setting seems bugged as a feature where most video ads get blocked, but some of them still run sometimes at the start of the video. The square adds on the side aren’t blocked either, but they are not a hindrance.

It requires powerful gpus yes but not always. It depends a lot on how fast you want it to run. Microsoft and openai need powerful ai gpus because they have a lot of requests, data and want it to go fast. The dataset may also require to be stored in memory or gpu memory for fast access and use by the ai.

For Llama, it has been released as open source. And what is amazing about open source, is the community. A Llama entirely in c++ has been created https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp .

And someone even managed to make it run, fast enough, on a phone with 8gb of available ram https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/discussions/750 . Tho with a smaller dataset.

There are some useful things in there, but it can get complicated. If i could get to Linux I wouldn't need a lot of this stuff, or at least I wouldn't need to think about it.

Tho I can't get to it yet (and no I'm not willing to do a windows vm), because of 2 things :

• I'm playing warframe, and sometimes I open alecafrale in the background with the overlays to know what reward to pick. And it seems they overwolf and the app is not compatible with Linux, at least from what I could read.

• I am using gpu virtualisation to share my pc occasionally with my brother. And on Linux, there is an alternative with LIBVF.IO. but sadly, not compatible with newer amd gpus, or at least from the tutorial and arch wiki, pretty complicated to make it run, if even possible.

When these 2 things would be fixed, maybe I'll consider it, if i don't have to switch to windows every 2 days…

Well there is light room, and the more expensive Photoshop online.

They now offer an online version of maybe full Photoshop. Tho no idea what is included.

Photoshop online?

KBM. As I played on a keyboard and mouse since so long, I lost the usage of controllers. And whenever I have to use controlers, it's a bit of a pain. So I don't, as much as possible.

Tho in some games I tried, like elite dangerous, I had to use a controler for movement as on keyboard it was painfully slow, or too fast, but also just to be able to use most of the controls.

Manjaro is a bit of a strange distro. It works on some setups and breaks on other. On my hp laptop, manjaro stood there without breaking for a year.

On my brother's Lenovo laptop, the distro craped itself while trying to update packages, after 2 months…

Both had aur enabled, but I had the most aur software installed. So no idea why it broke.

Since I installed fedora on his laptop, no issues for 2 years.

I disabled their notifications for recommended, and activity in posts I participated to. No need to get spam from there. And as I only post very little now (mostly answered my question myself…), I don't get much of anything as notifications.

Tho I don't uninstall the app as it still has some uses, tho I could use the Web version. But its not fast.

Yeah… It's not really the same.

Python is a programming language, much harder to use than power Querry as power Querry does the programming. There are actions you can do in power Querry, and it will automatically created and adapted to the previous and next step in the M language, tho the next steps aren't automatically changed if there is a breaking change.

Grafana not sure. I am working in accounting. Maybe I can talk to the person who set up power Bi, but not sure if it would be adapted. Currently the tool isn't deployed to clients, but mostly ready for testing.
