sounds like rseq has been around since 2018 https://www.phoronix.com/news/Restartable-Sequences-Speed

I’ll be curious to see benchmarks of PREEMPT_NONE vs rseq once PostgreSQL patches this

Which is expected to be faster in the end?

good to see some screenshots

It’s an awesome way to discover

discover

I see what you did there

Yeah but it’s harder when something else is incompatible, like WiFi on a laptop, or Ethernet on a desktop. Not so easy to update the kernel without internet. I wonder if it would be possible for the installer to include multiple versions of the kernel to choose from.

I haven’t tried Bazaar

This is why I think Kubuntu is a better suggestion than Ubuntu, and also Discover is better than the Ubuntu Software Center anyways and it makes it easy to avoid Snaps and does a good job managing Flatpaks.

I think it might give you problems if you try to install it on brand new hardware though, because Mint uses an older kernel by default

Also use Lutris to easily test multiple distros

I don’t think Bazzite is that far behind, it’s not LTS

lol this is why I think being able to disable downvotes from non-subscribers is a good idea

Kubuntu uses Discover instead of the Ubuntu App Center

It’s really easy to avoid Snaps

is this an Ubuntu problem that I’m too Kubuntu to understand?

This is for LZ4, I guess most people use Zstd. Will be interesting to see if this becomes competitive now.

most people

The channel that calls themselves “Tech Tips” and has 16.8 million subscribers is supposed to know more than “most people”. Or at least be willing to put in some research and give actual “tech tips” like their name suggests

Actual amateur mistake lol, and they make a lot of money from that channel so there’s really no excuse

They’re SUPPOSED to know tech!

Not gonna watch this video, but I see the clickbait thumbnail says “LAST CHANCE” which is just dumb. Linux will outlive him and me and you. There’s no reason to not give it another chance within the next 20 or so years. In fact, they’ll almost certainly release another video about Linux.

Yeah looking at their history graph, Linux drops every February/March due to Chinese New Year. But looking at their English graph, Linux has gained users not lost users. There are more active Steam users right now (mostly in China) which causes the percentages to be lower.

I use Kfind https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.kde.kfind
