@barettorein @peach2k2 limine + btrfs for snapshots

@peach2k2 Do you prefer systemd-boot to grub? Does either really have any advantage?

little systemd-boot in a great big world

@mooreslawisdead @neverselling777 Graphics cards do not have HDMI-CEC that can power on your TV like a console does. CEC adapters are not common or easy to configure, and most of them only support HDMI 2.0.

@neverselling777 Jesus Christ - graphics cards have HDMI.

So if you add up the $289 RTX 5050, the $299 7500X3D bundle, and then maybe throw in another $130 for a budget SSD + Case w/ PSU...you still only get to $718!!! I can make something BETTER than the Steam Machine, even in 2026, for close to $700 with NEW DIY parts! Valve is a Multi-Billion Dollar company. If they can't make the Steam Machine around as cheap as the PS5 (so less than $700), then they shouldn't launch it. I shouldn't be better at making a console than them lol.

@Lillykyu no @s8box is out

wait cache is out

@FortniteLinux @phoronix It is it many ways, yet oddly enough every Windows user I know who has tried Ubuntu has absolutely hated it because of Gnome. They usually end up being perfectly fine with Linux once I give them a KDE distro.

@phoronix Might have to start calling it the "Windows of Linux distros" lmao.

@FrameworkPuter No, they don't have a keyboard pointer either.

Every time we engage with an influencer on X dot com, Dell sends them an XPS. Anyone want a free Dell XPS?

@LundukeJournal I agree. Especially on the last point. They will exempt open source this time and come back for it later. When they do - no one will give a shit about open source.

The concept of government mandated Age / ID Verification on Operating Systems is appalling. The idea of carving out an exception ONLY for “Open Source” software is EVEN WORSE. It is morally repugnant. “Age Verification on Operating Systems” is either right… or it’s wrong. If it’s wrong (and it is), it’s wrong for every computer user. … “First they Age Verified the iOS users, and I did not speak out — because I was not an iOS user. Then they Age Verified the Mac users, and I did not speak out — because I was not a Mac user. Then they Age Verified the Windows users, and I did not speak out — because I was not a Windows user. Then they Age Verified me, the Linux / Open Source user — and there was no one left to speak for me.”

The libs are right the trucks are too big

@YaLTeRz I installed Niri on my laptop last week and I've been really enjoying it! The @CachyOS dotfiles with Noctalia provided an impressive and functional baseline that did not immediately scare me back to my familiar Plasma desktop.

After five months of (on and off) development, I'm glad to announce niri v26.04! It's packed with features like window blur (of course), mouse cursor in window screencasts, rendering optimizations, and more. Enjoy the release notes: github.com/niri-wm/niri/r… #niri #wayland #rust

@FrameworkPuter I don't care how good the new trackpad is, I just can't do it. I'm sorry. I like what I like.

>1/3rd of Framework Laptop 13 Pro customers are buying it to replace a MacBook Pro, and almost all of them are switching to Linux (based on our optional post-purchase surveys).

@RobuxTRex @ProtonPrivacy I use Distroshelf to install their Debian packages. but yeah, aside from actual Arch or AUR packages, I'd settle for an official Flatpak.

@ProtonPrivacy could you please please please support other linux distros (e.g. arch) OFFICIALLY instead of making us rely on random AUR packages...

The Proton ecosystem has grown significantly, with private AI, a 2FA app, encrypted spreadsheets, video calling, and appointment scheduling all joining the ranks recently. Now we're sharing our spring/summer 2026 roadmaps. Here's what's coming... 🧵 1/13

@amhayes8 @theo @FrameworkPuter @Lenovo @HP Obligatory. C'mon @FrameworkPuter, do it for the meme.

@murderbymodem @theo @FrameworkPuter @Lenovo @HP I have this and it's amazing, works with almost anything. The clitmouse is by far the best non-mouse, non-trackball pointing device. Instant transition from typing to pointing is amazing, drag and drop gesture is way easier to perform than touchpad.

I spent a lot of time bugging many companies about my keyboard problems. Framework listened. They built my dream keyboard. I am so excited.

@gnukeith Does Brave have an equivalent to support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about… ?

Aight Linux users what is your biggest gripe with Brave right now? I want to fix some things

@emiru TY!

Completed Death Stranding: Director's Cut on @CachyOS Linux running an @AMDRyzen 9700X paired with an @IntelGraphics Arc B580. The @PlayStation DualSense controller worked well on PC, even on Linux, thanks to github.com/xzn/proton-ds5… @KojiPro2015_EN @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN

Day 263 of being under investigation for a non existent crime after @SEGA colluded with @CityPolice to raid my house, steal my consoles, fabricate evidence and attempt to frame me for a crime to cover up their own internal negligence. All now face default judgment on Human Rights violations and multiple individuals face personal liability lawsuits for misfeasance in public office. I eagerly await the return of my lawfully owned property.

@sumibunnii I had a manager at my old job who said that in response to basically any issue. It really is what it is.

It is wat it is :3

@NikTek @s1mbolik "the record tab" well there's your issue. I'd suggest the "minimal" installation option for Adrenalin on Windows. well, really I'd suggest wiping your Windows SSD and installing @CachyOS, but in lieu of that...

@s1mbolik When I got my RX 9070 XT this worked perfectly fine, over time the record tab just started crashing on me and the sofware started to lag a lot. I did a fresh Windows install and still this just sucks

Fresh install of Windows 11 on an nvme drive and this is how AMD software adrenalin lags out of the box
