Interesting showdown between Arch Linux Powered CachyOS vs EndeavourOS and other distros. Too bad they didnā€™t include Garuda!! :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

Wayland native interface in Qt 6.5

PipeWire 0.3.62 is out today as the newest feature and bug-fixing update to this open-source project that has begun conquering the Linux desktop for managing audio and video streams.

Update notices:
The GRUB bootloader at /EFI/Garuda was updated, but it seems like you are not using the Garuda Linux bootloader by default. If you are using ā€˜rEFIndā€™ bootloader, you can safely ignore this. Otherwise, please change your EFI boot priorities to prioritize the ā€œGarudaā€ bootloader. Running ā€˜grub-installā€™ will do this automatically.

Perfection.

I think your missing the kitchen sink. Never mind I just found it. :stuck_out_tongue:

the issue isnā€™t that we are in ā€œlate stage capitalismā€ that worries me, is that we are in a ā€œlate stage corruptionismā€.

if we were in ā€œlate stage capitalismā€, they would go bankrupt the year they did it.

they are free to try it, but they need to ā€œinfluence :money_with_wings:ā€ AMD to follow along, or ā€œmarket demandā€ will set them straight.

Massive from DistroTube, very well done on DistroTube in dissing pacman and praising snaps.

shows a very good analysis of the viewers sample, and the popularity of arch linux distros.
also shows that he is very clearly based on the mass opinion of snaps and how they are disliked!

Thus, maximizing maximum click baiting and getting maximum views possible, by getting angry the massive arch base and even the bigger percentage of the population that hates snaps.

This shows a clear youtuber that is at the top of his game and has a very clear sight on the target.

Like the viral catch phrase right now, I have to say: "That shit's dingo!"

from the webpage:

instead prompting users to enter their email addresses and complete surveys

ahhh completing surveys ā€¦ reminds me of the 90ā€™s.

Can you imagine all the 18 years of infighting and calling each other names from the Gnome team, saying things like, "We can't let these well-wishers win, I WON'T ALLOW IT!!" :rofl:
