Can you link the original quote? I feel like there is a lot of context missing here.

iirc mandatory Client Side Decorations is only a Gnome on Wayland thing and everyone else has support for both Client and Server Side Decorations.
It is used in the Launch Options of a Steam game. command%
just gets replaced by whatever Steam would use to launch the game. It’s useful to set up anything before the game actually launches, such as setting environment variables or run scripts.
Hyprland itself will still continue to work just fine. What it does affect is Hyprland’s ability to propose changes to FreeDesktop specifications like Wayland. Although I think only the lead dev Vaxry has been banned so potentially they could just get some other dev to do that instead.
I’ve been messing about with NixOS for the past 2 weeks or so. While I think I know enough to plug in the right text in the right spots to get a system configured I feel like I understand nothing about the nix language and the syntax is extremely unintuitive to me. If another distro offered declarative configuration as well as something like Nix’s options I would easily swap away from NixOS at this point.
Minisforum just announced their V3 which is a Windows tablet with amazing looking specs. I would wait until people confirm if everything works on Linux, but it’s an option to consider.
Alright, you got me. I mainly care about the GPL license and the ability to modify your own devices as you like. But that doesn’t make as good of a one liner.
Unironically the importance of being GNU/Linux instead of just Linux.
I have a number of IRL friends who daily drive Linux and we all at least have some small partition or drive installed with Windows on it just in case for that one program. I haven’t used it in over half a year and it was for some Need For Speed Underground 2 mod making tool that I used once and never needed again.
I can’t use Wayland until this xwayland Nvidia bug is fixed, which is a shame because I think that’s the last thing holding Nvidia users back. I tried the new Plasma 6 recently and for the most part it was great until I tried gaming and hit that bug. I tried different older and newer beta driver versions but it was more or less the same bug.
The proprietary Nvidia driver has kernel modules that are specific to a single version of the Linux kernel. With pre-built packages that’s typically whatever the standard kernel is for your distro. If that kernel isn’t booted then you’ll have no graphics driver.
This is solved by DKMS, which will build those kernel modules for every kernel you have installed. You’ll need the kernel headers for the kernel you want to build for, as well as the nvidia-kernel-dkms
package which the wiki you linked only offhandedly mentions. Whenever the kernel or driver updates it should build the required modules.
I think they were saying that they could save space by converting their existing jpg files to avif or jpgXL, not converting to a 70% quality jpg. JpgXL can do this losslessly so there’s no drawback there, but converting to avif would be a lossy to lossy transcode.
EDIT: I completely missed OP’s last paragraph, which does say they are considering converting their existing jpg files into 70% jpgs.
The 32bit libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4
that all Source 1 games ship with needs to be updated. You can symlink it to your system’s version to get TF2 running again. It’s usually only a matter of time before it starts to effect more downstream distros.
The other problem I have with TF2 is queueing for casual just stops for no discernable reason or error every time, even if I’m not the party host. But then I come back later and it works again? Only real solution I’ve found is to have my friends queue without me and then join after they’ve found a match.
The XDG Base Directory Specification is a set of guidelines to tell application developers where they should store their application’s config files, cache, etc.
There are many applications that don’t follow the guidelines and put their files in a hidden folder directly in your home directory, which is what the guidelines are trying to combat.
You can actually get Vulkan on GCN 1 and 2 cards through the AMDGPU driver set. It’s just not enabled by default because support is in beta status limbo. YMMV though because a reason I remember upgrading from an R9 280 (HD 7950 refresh) was to get better driver support.

You can decode and view HDR files in SDR just fine but the Linux ecosystem just does not support HDR yet. It’s being worked on though and Valve’s Gamescope compositor has started getting HDR working in games.
Can you elaborate on what specifically makes ALSA bad, and what you mean by HAL audio drivers?
“Natural scrolling” just reverses the scroll direction. Pushing the mouse wheel up will scroll the content down. It’s called “natural” because it’s similar to the way you drag content around on touch screens.
Out of all the email clients I’ve tried, Thunderbird has been the only one that seems to fetch email the instant it comes in, as well as just being all around well featured. I haven’t tried Betterbird but from the name I assume it’s a fork of Thunderbird so it’s probably good as well.
Gotta weigh in the benefits of privacy/features vs anonymity for your needs.
