Sorry if I sound dumb, but which kind of program would be the one to display the output of text based interfaces, also called terminal applications, if not a terminal?

I was just about to write that they should delete system32 to be able to make one and during my research I stumbled upon https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/29711-delete-system32 which I had totally forgotten

I never got the sentiment either. in fact I always found it to be among the best outlets. I’m a subscriber and I don’t even live in an English speaking country, and this is my only news subscription - didn’t find one that’s better overall yet.

I only had Windows 8 on a notebook that I bought and wanted to give it a try again, however I switched the machine over once I learned that it couldn’t be updated to 8.1 through normal updates, but that you had to use the store, because they were really trying to push the store. Also my NAS used NFS back then, which my home edition of Windows didn’t support, I think you need professional.

These two things pushed me to migrate the notebook as well

Does that mean I shouldn’t have switched in 2007 and instead waited eight more years?

But then I’d have had to use Windows 8

Okay, that sucks. Yeah, I bought a refurbished business device

Then the “avoid at all costs” like Dell

Must have gotten lucky then. Bought a used Dell about one and a half years ago. Everything worked out of the box

I don’t think his statement is true though. If https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1ce7z19/gaming_on_linux_ep131_ntsync_vs_fsync_nobara_39/l1ho8od/ is not manipulated in any way, games with lots of these calls still get big improvements with ntsync over fsync (about 30% in this particular case, which is a massive boost). So while nobody can rule out that his statement may be true on average or in general, there are still cases where ntsync offers a tangible advantage – be it improved FPS or the fact that the game runs at all.

Edit: in the video that the thread is about, fsync didn’t beat ntsync in a single one (or I missed it when jumping through it). In the best one, they were exactly tied. Sure, the difference wasn’t really big, but again there are titles not working with fsync.

However, I want to stress that I’m not trying to talk about fsync. It’s a good solution that significantly improved performance. But ntsync is, from everything I’ve seen, almost always better; how much depends on the case, and it never seems to be worse.

Yes, sorry

Any linking against GPL software requires you to also release your source code under GPL. ALGPL allows you to link to it dynamically without relicensing, but as explained, there are platforms where dynamic linking isn’t an option, which means these libraries can’t be used if one doesn’t want to provide ALGPL licensed source code of their own product.

fsync isn’t faster than ntsync, it’s merely a workaround to match Linux to Windows synchronization primitives. From ntsync’s official description:

It exists because implementation in user-space, using existing tools, cannot match Windows performance while offering accurate semantics.

So without this, you either have a huge perfomance hit in case of an accurate implementation or you have good performance, but might run into edge cases where software doesn’t work well or at all because it’s not accurate (see https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/2922 for examples)

The equivalent to Plex is Jellyfin I think, Plex can be used as a media server for Kodi.

That’s more hours per week than I have to work.

But you can always do more. I have a childhood friend who, when some leagues were released, averaged about 14 hours per day for Path of Exile for two weeks straight. Like 180 hours playtime in two weeks.

Another friend of mine should be at about 8000 hours of Rocket League by now on his main account only. That’s over the game’s full lifespan though.

The CD wasn’t really suited to be played Mobile (though I did have a portable CD player). It should rather be compared to vinyl in that regard.

I think tapes are great because no portable audio player ever came close to the Walkman regarding its cultural impact. The fact that anyone could record tapes opened up a lot of creative options.

For properly mastered music to be enjoyed at home on a potentially expensive setup, the CD was very close to perfect.

the average package quality is currently closer to that of the AUR than the official repos of other distros.

Care to elaborate? I don’t remember packages not working, but if anything, they’re not building; which is basically the reverse of what happens at other distributions where sometimes, breakage during building isn’t noticed because the packages aren’t getting rebuilt when a dependency or the compiler toolchain changes.

While the full number might be inflated, it still has one of the most complete official repositories.
