At the end of the day, Nobara is pretty much a one-man hobby project. Sure, there is a small community around it nowadays but even then, if the main developer decides to drop it, they’d have hard time keeping up. That’s why I’m usually hesitant to recommend these types of distributions and I’d rather recommend something tried and tested with a big community build over many years.

It’s yet another step in the worrying trend of tearing down the current update system on Android. It feels like Google is cutting down everything else just so they can put more resources into AI.

You don’t like having a toggle to turn off AI?

I see a lot of comments saying that it’s a good thing but I feel like people needlessly hate new OS versions because of Windows versions and extrapolate it to Android too. Meanwhile, every new Android release is bringing a lot of great features, improving both privacy and security. Just to mention a few, we got:

-Private space

-better permission control

-Granular permissions for photo/video access in apps

-background apps restrictions

-a toggle to disable 2G

And probably a lot more.

Unless it’s opus.

Lack of some multimedia and bluetooth codecs out of the box. You will need a third party repo for those (or flatpak browser/video player)

Todd is waiting for that fan made Skyrim UE5 remake so he can copy-paste it and ask for our money.

Just 5 more years and I might think of upgrading over my trusty old RX 580.

It’s this one:

i have win 11 on one of my laptops and I saw this issue. I do a lot of alt-tabbing and it made me go crazy because almost every time that happened, i’d have to minimize my browser and open it again or the webpage (and the browser ui) wouldn’t render correctly.

There is currently an ongoing isssue with Chromium/Electron rendering being almost-unusable with VRR. It was first reported almost a year ago. Microsoft doesn’t care enough to fix it. But hey, at least you get Copilot so it can tell you what registry tweak you have to add to fix it yourself!

I feel like I’m seeing “we finally fixed wifi and bluetooth on pixel devices” every other month.

we built Shield for ourselves

Obviously. Had they built it for consumers, they’d stop supporting it after a year or two.

-hey, you should switch to Linux now, it’s way better than Windows 11, everything works and the community is very helpful
-what? you’re having some issues on Linux? uhh, skill issue, go back to windows lol

For me it’s pretty simple:
-older hardware/no need for up to date packages - Debian
-new hardware, needs up-to-date software - Arch
And that’s it. Though obviously, you can also use flatpak if you truly need newer versions of software. Personally I have arch on my gaming PC + Debian on my multimedia-consumption laptop.

It’s really weird how Mozilla is trying to market to the punk-anarchists and the AI techbros at the same time. It won’t work.

It’s just the matter of defaults, especially since Mint has Debian edition too. Personally I just cut off the “middleman” and go straight to Debian. Unless you really like Cinnamon, because you’ll obviously have better experience on Mint with it.
