I mean the problem isn’t the update process itself, it’s Nvidia changing and breaking things that we have no idea. You only know when you boot up and suddenly something that was working such as a display arrangement gets messed up. After a few years using Linux you get used to cheroot using a live USB and downgrading Nvidia. Would immutable distros solve this?

Been using arch for a long time, it never really break itself. Even changes that require manual intervention are usually minor “we have changed how java pkgs are listed please reinstall according to your needs”

Used Nvidia hardware.

I meant using MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1, of course

only glitch recently is that I couldn't get multi-account containers to work. 2 years ago I couldn't even open setting's menu under wayland, so it's been evolving

Firefox is surprisingly one of the few programs that has no/almost no glitches in wayland with nvidia.

Arch

I find that bugs in linux programs (and they will happen regardless of distro) are more easily tweaked in systems that do minimal modifications to upstream programs and keep them updated regularly with what the developers release

Also AUR makes it easy to install pretty much anything without having to add ppas, new repo links, etc

At this point, it’s only going to get worse. It’s a very large Venture Capital backed company, on track to IPO.

Large VC/public companies goals will follow more of what we see with “mainstream” sites and social media. It’d be against their goals and their business to have less ads, less agorithms showing what their partners want to see and not what the user wants to see, less bloat on their front end. Even if the CEO wanted to go that way, he’d quickly be replaced.

It’s a self sustaining movement of capital now and users are annoyances that they have to deal to achieve their goals.

I’ll be honest, I started using redding decade ago because most forums were very niche, specific, with weird to follow rules, very low on users, and reddit seemed to always have a community for each topic I had an interest on. It still does, but the end is approaching fast, and I don’t want to search Discord servers, social media videos, or even ancient methods that are alternatives like IRC servers, mailing lists ; search results are useless in Google due to SEO and already affect other search engines

It all comes up to finding one or more sites that don’t look ancient or too mobile focused, and if enough people are going to use it and stick to it. Otherwise it’ll just be another corner of the web filled with a few crazy users
