Unfortunately, Wayland works terribly on my Nvidia MX150 GPU. It's an Optimus based GPU, so both the iGPU and the Nvidia GPU are running all the time. I've had my Nvidia GPU disabled for better battery life for a while now.
Personal anecdote, but I was in Taiwan recently for my grandmother's funeral. People (at least in Taipei) are surprisingly pro China. I've heard excuses like, "Chinese people don't fight Chinese people" or "China is threatening Taiwan to tell the US to back off, they don't actually want to do anything." Also, there has been rising skepticism towards the US due to a perceived refusal to back Ukraine by bringing them into NATO.
There is no doubt in my mind that, if China chose to go to war, that the US would defend Taiwan with boots on the ground. I see Taiwan as too strategically important for defending the liberal international world order, and letting Taiwan fall would set a precedent for the South China Sea, where China's getting its way could spell the end of freedom of navigation in a region that a third of global trade passes through.
Given current Taiwan political trends, I think many people are dissatisfied with the Tsai administration and would like to seek more business and cultural exchange with the mainland. Among the four presidential candidates, if you add up the three opposition candidates vs the incumbent DPP representative Lai, you will see that a majority oppose the DPP. However, there has been indecision as to which opposition candidate to unify behind.
Rules for thee, but not for me.
Got it. Get a MacBook and install Asahi Linux on it. 😅
Eh, it's opt-in so if even if you don't do anything, nothing changes.
It's perfectly fine to ask users if they're okay with telemetry. I'm fine with that. The problem comes when it's opt-out or if there's no way to opt-out.
Lots of Fedora haters here, but I agree. Fedora is the best distro ever, especially if you like stock GNOME.
Fedora is a fine distro. Red Hat is still a huge contributor to the open source community, despite the decisions made by IBM managers to restrict RHEL source code. It just means that it'll be a little more difficult to make RHEL clones going forward, but I doubt it'll have any lasting impact. Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux and other RHEL based distros have all announced that they intend to continue their operations, with little to no change in how they do things. Really, the controversy is overblown.
Personally wouldn't recommend Fedora as a newbie distro because most guides assume Debian/Ubuntu-based package managers. When I first switched from Pop!_OS, I couldn't understand why my apt-get commands weren't working. Of course, that was until I learned about other package managers like DNF, Yum, etc. Also, Nvidia proprietary drivers and media codecs can be a pain.
Pop!_OS, Ubuntu and Mint are all great recommendations though!
Yes but the browser engine isn't really the main selling point. Kagi is building
with zero telemetry, native ad blocking, and support for Firefox and Chrome extensions. It's privacy respecting, fast, and extensible.
