Is there a path forward for better support of newer hardware on desktop Linux? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Good to know thanks. For info all modern bluetooth chips have compatibility issues with Linux anyway.

May I ask which motherboard was it ? I am planning to get soon exactly the same specs but with an X870e Taichi which is renowed for good compatibility with Linux.

Good advice is to ask in the Level1Tech forums before buying new hardware.

The worst was changing the best controller configuration UI when they retired Old Big Picture. The UX was absolutely perfect and paired with a steam controller you could make fairly complex configs easily. Now I am forced to use the old linux client on linux to keep the UI but cannot enjoy the new compatibility stuff like gamescope.

start from man man and learn to use man pages. Get used to lookup man pages for any topic before checking on the internet

LMFO I was on the reddit thread reading this post and coudn't believe my eyes reading the comments. We're living truly revelation times. Like you said this is a long due wakeup call for the rest of the "uncivilized" world.

I think something sinister is happening with oxidizing all GNU projects (reddit crosspost) (www.reddit.com)

I posted this over /r/StallmanWasRight and I am not sure it would be taken well at /r/Rust so here we are.

I have been getting into Rust in the last year but the licensing ecosystem of Rust crates makes me perplexed.

Today I came along this project https://github.com/uutils/coreutils that is trying to rewrite GNU coreutils in Rust and it is likely over the years projects like this one will overshadow many of the legacy GNU projects.

They are almost all made on "permissive" licenses that will give so much more power to corporations, in fact I am absolutely sure all these (big) rewrites are sponsored by corporations to escape the GNU safeguards that were built to protect users and society.

Does anyone else see this or am I just too paranoid ?

EDIT: It is not my intention to single out any specific project/team. Instead, I aim to initiate a meaningful discussion regarding the licensing choice. Rust is likely the first language since C that holds the capability to effectively replace the decades old, legacy libraries.

Problem writing posts with 0.0.30 (lemmy.ml)
 

While writing any post or reply, using the backspace key often deletes the previous word (merge two previous tokens) which makes writing anything longer than a sentence hell.

Creator of Fallout series started a vlog series (youtube.com)
 

Hi all,

As the title says , Timothy Cain , creator of the fallout series started a youtube channel where he discusses Fallout and game development. It's really interesting listening to the history and politics that went behind.
