The performance is relative to the user. Could it be that you’re a god damned genius? :/

Man, we’re gonna have to change the name of the AUR because bad journalists keep thinking this has something to do with the distro.

“Arch Linux Users who go out of their way to install RAT at risk of installing RAT”

Ah, I think you mean non-free or just non-open source.

Something being “native” means it’s compiled for your specific hardware, ex. an x86-64 binary running on an x86-64 CPU. An example of non-native is an x86 binary being emulated on an ARM CPU, Java bytecode running on a JVM, or Python code running in an interpreter.

But your drivers are all definitely all running natively on your hardware.

ofc amd drivers should be native so that shouldn’t be my issue

I’m curious, what’s an example of non-native drivers?

Driver bugs exist, it could definitely be a hole in someone’s testing. I would assume the number of people running PopOS (and whatever build of mesa their release is on) with that specific GPU is pretty low. Maybe try the amdgpu-pro driver and see if the issues go away (or change, heh)? Not sure what the recommended way of installing it on PopOS/Ubuntu/Debian is.

We’re talking about an eink tablet. I assume none of them are running X, so there’s no “desktop” involved here. I have a remarkable 2 which runs Linux. I can ssh into it to rsync files to it, back things up, and make customizations. There’s no package manager, it seems to be an embedded system. It has python, so i’ve written some python scripts to do custom operations. Everything i do on my remarkable 2 is stuff I would expect to also be able to do on an android based tablet.

Not to nitpick, but Android is Linux based. So I would expect to be able to do all the same stuff that I can on a Linux based one.

Edit: can anyone explain why the downvote? Any concern about android ecosystem vs linux ecosystem should be moot, and I think that’s useful context…

So wait, you don’t care, or you think it should be done a certain way? OP asked what doesn’t matter to you at all.

I’m imagining a middle school student answering a homework question about Newton’s laws, and people are responding with, “Well what’s your reference frame? Consider Virtual Particles in Quantum Theory.”

Why are they called “patched” and “fix” and who is installing them?

It’s meant to be a convenience for people who know what they’re doing.

You can’t even install from AUR using pacman directly. You either need to makepkg them manually, or use an extra AUR compatible package manager like yay. It’s made as clear as possible to arch users that the AUR is not vetted in any way, it’s just for convenience.

Cool, welcome! I assume you’re aware that it won’t be all sunshine and rainbows from day 1, but give it time and leverage the community to solve any issues you run into. Effective bug reports and knowledge sharing make the experience better for everyone.

To me it’s worth having control over my hardware, and an OS that’s designed to work for me and not some corpo against me.

Crypto isn’t necessary (or rather, blockchain isn’t necessary). Check out GNU Taler. So far I believe only Swiss banks have adopted it.

I’m sure no one will miss those incest games, but letting payment processors decide what speech people are allowed to exchange is nuts. These are middlemen. They don’t need to exist. I want more countries to hurry up and adopt GNU Taler and make all these middlemen superfluous.

At this point, I don’t see how we’re not going to have a world war. There’s too much teetering on the edge, too many critical resources we’re fighting over, and too much money being pumped into every major country’s defense budgets. The status quo for politicians and CEOs is to blatantly ignore reality. As the climate crisis gets worse, resources are only going to get more scarce.

I started Katana Zero over the weekend. Really slick. I love the art and music, and the story and gameplay loop reminds me of Hotline Miami.

I’ve always liked the word Adenosine. Not sure why, just fun to say.

Looking for Group. As someone else said, the ability to click “queue for dungeon”, be dropped into an instance with a bunch of random, and proceed to faceroll the dungeon without any thought or patience required.

The fun part of old school MMOs was the journey, not the destination. Modern MMOs have all optimized the journey out by making everything doable without ever being dependent on another player.

I know exactly what you’re feeling, and I totally get it. Still, if executed well, I’m at least impressed that they pulled it off. I would have sworn such an experience wasn’t possible.

But yeah, I’m not interested in having artificial multiplayer interactions.
