i find quite ironic that it’s full of troublshooting, while linux comms are primarily full of entertainment. “Windows just works out of the box” btw

i use cachyos, runs swimmingly for me. I’m not sure arch is good for your usecase tho.

Mediacenter/homeserver? I’d personally choose something like fedora, but debian sounds fine too

but in this case, actually, I proposed it bc i’ve seen synthetic tests that compared this distro to others, and it yielded interesting results, so i actually wonder about what the results would be in the gaming context, as the testing specific varies greatly.

in other words

I’M THE NERDEST NERD, AND THOSE NERDS AREN’T NERDING THEIR NERDY STUFF ENOUGH

or… something like that

i guess it’s my new version of archbtw

i just find this distro to be genuinely worth everybody’s try, as it’s easy to set up, and it comes with custom-built packages (they mostly just add some comptime flags), that favor optimisation for the modern hardware over backward compatibility.

cough cough

cachyos

your analogy doesn’t quite work here tbh.

It’s not a transparent lock, a transparent lock would be easy to pick. It’s more of a usual lock, but everyone can see all the blueprints and changes done to them. You can make changes to the blueprints yourself, and if the locksmiths approve of it, the next iteration of the lock will have them included.

Everyone who’s in the set of users of OSS software can contribute, therefore the set of people in control of the software that want it to have no backdoors whatsoever is always larger than the set of people who want to let the backdoors in, unlike in closed source, where corporate can singlehandedly decide to include a backdoor on purpose, not to mention, lots of OSS projects have such a large quantities of different people working on them, corpos won’t be able to gather so much humanpower under a single project ever.
