I switched to mint for a few months to have the same thing I recommended my friend, I decided to switch again to something i consider bdtter for me.

There's nothing wrong with mint, at most you're missing a thing or two that are part of other base distros that you can add on your own, it's preference, that's all

Technically there can be some performance gains on a different distro but then you have to do tinkering and stuff. If I had to keep maining mint I wouldn't mind at all (and some things are way easier and painless).

One thing: browsers have had some issues in every distro I tried other than cachyos, nothing major but a bit of frame drops here and there

I've seen a similar thesis in video form yesterday, I feel like in both cases the author forgot the fear they had before making the choice and think that sidestepping the solution to that part is no biggie.

But we're talking about people who are afraid of a black box where you type text, they need as little friction as possible.

Hindsight is 20/20

Just heard about a phenomenon where people paint their houses white right before selling them (I assume apartments too) and then the new people won't paint on fairly new paint so they end up keeping the bland colors.

Some people probably depend on their lightbulbs to make the walls look yellow instead of white, I can see those cases comparing the light to a hospital.

I personally like cooler lighting, but there's too much color around to feel like a hospital in my case.

  • Obs uses more cpu in cachyos than linux mint, no idea why or what I can do about it, experienced the same difference between manjaro and mint (might be something to do with kde)
  • audio breaks, when I boot I have to switch to output devices to fix it. No idea why
  • sometimes it logs out of the desktop and when logging in it freezes

Having said all that I'm having the time of my life with cachyos, everything works great and better than it ever has in my experience running an nvidia GPU. I did do some tweaks of my own, wizh I didn't have to but it's not bad at all

Honestly? Didn't even think of that, assuming it would be small enough while being good

Anyone knows of a google lens translation alternative? I use it to share memes with a friend who doesn't know English without having too manually replace text (these days it's pretty good with context).

Ideally I would love to self host a thing that would do that, I don't think it would be too complicated to vibe-code some self hosted translator plugged into a image to text reader/replacer or however you'd call that... But the fact that it sounds simple to vibecode makes me think it either already exists or is way more complicated than it sounds.

Mine are old and can't think of a concrete one, ask op, theirs are more recent

I've seen people being shat on for crazy things, my personal favorite is when the only solution given to a problem is buy something better

How mismatched for it to cause problems or for it to be enough for people on the internet blaming it on that? In both cases I don't know tho.

I haven't visited the issue in a couple of years so hopefully that's not a thing anymore

Currently my displays work fine too, different refresh rates and bit depth (but not really, dithered 6 bit or smth).

You succinctly described my case. +1 to that

I feel you brother, specially if you have missmatched displays, if you mention it, it's staright up your fault somehow.
