It's still made by the slop machine, the same one that could only be created by stealing every human made artwork that's ever been published. (And this is not "just one company", every LLM has this issue.)

Not only that, the companies building massive datacenters are taking valuable resources from people just trying to live.

If the developer isn't able to keep up, they should look for (co-)maintainers. Not turn to the greedy megacorps.

Been using it for a couple years, my main ones currently are:

  • VR. SteamVR is a broken mess, Monado is pretty much functional, but I haven't switched yet. Mesa or the kernel sometimes forget about VR and break it in an update.
  • QT5 to QT6 transition for my favorite Matrix client, Nheko. Scrolling is a pain, and the clipboard randomly stops working.
  • Wayland freedom and featureset is nowhere close to X11. I can't choose a window manager without locking myself in to a specific featureset on my display server. Stuff like global hotkeys isn't supported in most applications. I'm still on the godawful GNOME desktop portals, which is most annoying for file picking. I have no HDR support because my window manager isn't from KDE or GNOME.
  • GTK4 apps looking like shit (there are patches luckily), I try to avoid them just because of libadwaita and GNOME's awful design.

On the note of Wayland, I have switched, and for good reason. Besides unimplemented features, things "just work" a lot better than X11. Still wish I could have effectively bspwm window management with kwin featureset though. (Plugins for tiling are not the same experience)

Yes, it's called Sober. It is not official, and may lose functionality at any time due to updates to client-side anti-cheat.

I was very annoyed when I got this, but remembered that it's KDE, and turning it off is 4 clicks. Proprietary software often doesn't allow you to turn this off (easily). Windows has this "feature", where is the setting?

I don't think it's a productive "feature", but considering it can be turned off so easily I don't consider it a complete showstopper.

This person does not understand open source or Android whatsoever. They talk a decent bit about "default installed apps", without properly understanding what most of them even are. They complain about some apps "being out of date" when installing CalyxOS, calling it "concerning" that they're not on the latest version out of the box, as if they couldn't update the apps themselves. The whole "review" feels more like an iPhone user trying to switch to Android for the first time, being confused because it's different, and complaining about it because they don't understand it.

The main benefits of CalyxOS lie under the hood. It's built to be more secure out of the box, and doesn't connect everywhere without consent like most other Android ROMs. If you're fine with the privacy and security of using something like LineageOS, CalyxOS doesn't have much extra to offer.

Yes. There's only 3 major browsers. Chromium (Chrome), Firefox, WebKit (Safari). Nearly every other webbrowser is a fork of one of these, most are forks of Chromium, including Opera. As such, most webbrowsers will be affected by the change.

"clean driver install", which heavily suggests you installed nvidia drivers, probably from the website. That issue is entirely on you.

Lets go through the summary and see if anything is wrong or misleading:

Linutil is a distro-agnostic toolbox designed to simplify everyday Linux tasks. It helps you set up applications and optimize your system for specific use cases. The utility is actively developed in Rust 🦀, providing performance and reliability.

  • It is not distro agnostic. There is Arch and Fedora specific code, which are not separated into modules, but part of other scripts. Outside of the package manager, it also relies heavily on systemd.
  • Installing "Diablo II Resurrected loot filters" is not an "everyday task". A lot of other scripts are similar, very specific, "one time use" things, not "everyday tasks".
  • helps you set up applications, maybe, but only if you count running sudo pacman -S networkmanager as "helping", even when it ignores existing network configuration.
  • "optimize your system for specific use cases", it does nothing of the sort. There's no kernel parameter tweaking, no other cpu scheduler, no IO options being changed, or anything remotely similar.
  • "The utility is actively developed in Rust" except for the ~70% that is shell scripts. (according to GitHub)
  • "Providing performance and reliability", which is not something that's determined by the programming language.

So lets revise the short description, to exclude any incorrect/misleading statements:

Linutil is a toolbox. The utility is actively developed.

Alongside all that, the "installation instructions" include the biggest sin of all:

curl -fsSL https://christitus.com/linux | sh

TL;DR Never trust Chris Titus, or any "Linux YouTuber", with your Linux machine. They do not know what the hell they're doing.

You’ve read your last complimentary article this month.

I haven't even read a wire article this year.

Since the EFI partition is unencrypted, physical access would do the trick here too, even with every firmware/software security measure.

As if iMessage, the platform that requires hardware from a specific company, is much better.
