  • They are going the way normies would, which includes asking the LLM of choice for a recommendation. But as they just regurgitate listicles inhaled from the web, that is what you get.

    This is the “defense” they use, but I don’t think it holds up. LTT knows exactly how the internet works, how SEO garbage is a massive internet problem, has nothing to do with Linux, and that nobody in the Linux community could ever possibly fix this. He’s the one with a megaphone and the ability to guide users towards good resources and offset those problems, but instead he plays the usual clown role to create his own low-effort clickbait and memes. I don’t think it’s some anti-Linux bias or anything like that, just regular influencer attention-whoring.

    The guy installing Bazzite seemed like the only one genuinely representative of what the video was trying to do (Luke didn’t count IMO since apparently he was already a Linux user), but I think Linus’s clown show steals the spotlight. Like, he literally tried to install it in the middle of a LAN party while people were waiting for him to start the game. WTF


  • By far my number one reason for hating Ubuntu is that a lot of lazy software publishers think that only supporting Ubuntu is good enough to reach Linux users, even though (as this article points out) they’re one of the more contrarian and overall difficult to work with distros in the ecosystem.

    Its less of a problem today thanks to containers. Even when a dev doesn’t publish a flatpak, you can usually run it in a podman/docker container, or in a toolbox/distrobox.

    Still, it pisses me off when I see that happening (even though it’s technically not Canonical’s fault)




  • Does Bazzite have good Nvidia support and do they have a good track record with testing updates? I don’t want my graphics card to suddenly stop working after an update as it likes to on Kubuntu.

    Yes, although nobody is perfect so it’s always a possibility. The difference with Bazzite (and other immutable distros) is if it does happen, all you need to do is reboot and choose the previous version in grub. It’ll be like the update never happened, no need to look up or run any magic commands.

    Then you just wait until they fix it before updating again.






  • Both C++ and Objective-C aimed to be “C with classes”. C++ does it by hijacking existing syntax (struct), Objective-C does it by adding new syntax, while leaving the original minimalism of C untouched.

    In fact, it’s a strict superset of C, which means it doesn’t change anything at all in C, it only appends. So every valid C program is a valid Objective C program (which is not true for C++).

    You know how some C programs are valid C++ programs though? Well, those same programs can use Objective C features too, meaning you’re able to use them in C++… Meaning you’re able to code in “Objective C++” (which is very common for interop purposes)
