If your primary usecase is going to be music (so a need for realtime capabilities for stuff like recording, VSTs and DAWs) then I do not reccomend immutable distros for a simple reason: you will probably/eventually need to hack something up to get it to work and at that moment, the immutability is just extra work.

As far as I have tried fiddling with the music stack on Linux (which is not that much), the whole pipewire/JACK/carla stack is a bit messy and I can't imagine it working with flatpacks due to the sandboxing/permissions.

in that case you can grab any of the other distros that are Arch-based, EndeavourOS/Garuda/CachyOS and so on. You will get the benefits of rolling-release like fresh-er software without the need to setup & configure it yourself.

Well one very good reason would be that their specification is closed source and as such not even HDMI Forum partner AMD can implement them in their open source driver.

DisplayPort spec is fully open btw.

played it on nix and it worked well in the beta, very cool game but the price tag is a bit steep

Two of my friends switched recently.
They had none to very little experience with anything Linux before, their previous win11 installs just over bloated and the copilot bullshit pushed them over. Both (indie/non-pop shooters) gamers btw.

This is the year of linux.

Deadly/dangerous to the environment. It's supposed to be a dead tree and fish next to a river/water body.

Unsure how well known it is, but flameshot (screenshot tool).

I prefer CLI usually, so: zoxide, the zsh git plugin for aliases (e.g.: gst is git status), fzf zsh plugin and the tldr command comes in handy sometimes.

Also, this might be useful just for me, but due to orientation of my living space, I have to fiddle with monitor brightness at least three times a day so I made myself a little Qt tray wrapper around ddcutil's ddcquery which can change standard vesa monitors brightness/contrast (DDC/CI communication).
There is also ddcui/gddccontrol GUI that does the same thing.

 

I've been lurking around feeling a bit nostalgic and now that Omega is on sale I am thinking of returning for a bit.

The book is so huge!! (biglemmowski.win)

I've been reading very much just e-books on an ereader for the last few years (so all my Brando Sando books were read on that) and while I knew the SA books are definitely in the "big-to-huge" category page-count wise, it didn't connect at all how absolutely totally humongous at least the Wind And Truth is!
If I haven't read the ebook already I might have gotten too scared by the size haha.

The book with almost-standard-sized light bulb for scale
WaT with an almost standard sized lightbulb for scale. Behind the book is a board game box.


PS: I've kind of skimmed past the Rosharan map in the ebooks, the page was either not there at all or didn't render properly and looking at the properly sized one in the book now... color me facepalming all over the place, with a lot of oohs and uuhs as two years of SA knowledge have realigned with the proper headings and cardinal directions.

PPS: I've really missed the smell of books.

https://lab401.com/ (I guess one of the bigger supplier/e-shop of hacking tools in EU) has a sale going on.

If you are interested you can check it out but I have another question, has anyone actually found the hamster?
I've even started scouring the page sources, considering the nature of the site it wouldn't be unusual to have it hidden literally but no bueno.
The 200EUR hamsters were gone within few hours so I must be doing something wrong or... :shrug:

E: Hoping to get the Chameleon Ultra for this christmas and this seems to be the only official/renown seller of them in EU (open to alternatives though!), I know it's rather sub-par compared to the Proxmark but PX is currently overkill for me and I love how cute and small the CU is.

Not affiliated with this in an way, I just think this guy (N-O-D-E) is making some great stuff that's worth sharing.

I've remembered this exists and there seems to be some very recent activity in the repo so if you didn't know what was possible with TUI graphics now you know! (recommended watching with sound :)
