Linux@programming.dev•NVIDIA Drops Pascal Support On Linux, Causing Chaos On Arch Linux
10·18 days agoThat’s why I don’t like closed source proprietary. They decide to stop the support.

Linux@programming.dev•NVIDIA Drops Pascal Support On Linux, Causing Chaos On Arch Linux
221·18 days ago“Brodie” mentioned. To be fair on the Arch side, they are clear the system could break with an update and you should always read the Arch news in case of manual intervention. You can’t fault Archlinux for users not following the instructions. This is pretty much what Arch stands for.

Linux@programming.dev•Really useful vim tricks you've probably never seen - Bread on Penguins
3·22 days agoGiven the end of Windows 10 and how many are not happy with Windows 11, its probably an thing the community themselves is responsible for. Also lot of popular YouTubers make videos about Linux, which surely contributes to the popularity increase of the topic in YouTube. I wouldn’t attribute this perceived change to YouTube itself.

Linux@programming.dev•DistroWatch - The best open source operating systems of 2025
16·22 days agoDistrowatch list is just how many people click the page on Distrowatch. It’s not a general metric how many people use it.

Linux@programming.dev•DistroWatch - The best open source operating systems of 2025
102·22 days agoHow can you say a distribution is the best? There are lot of use cases where many distributions are optimized for. They are just not an allrounder general one like “Ubuntu” in example. There should be some categories, at least some popular categories like “Gaming” that is separate from “General Purpose” or “Server”.
I’m surprised Bazzite was not mentioned. I’m glad EndeavourOS was mentioned.

I like that I have to think in Rust before compiling, not after.

Linux@programming.dev•What Have I Learned From Daily Driving Arch Linux For Three Years?
3·27 days agoI was a bit reluctant at first (pun intended)
I think this is the Reluctant Anarchist guy from YouTube? His writing style would match the way he talks in the videos.

Linux@programming.dev•What Have I Learned From Daily Driving Arch Linux For Three Years?
5·27 days agoIt depends on the distribution. In example Manjaro was unstable for me, while EndeavourOS is stable for the most part. In fact, Manjaro was holding back packages and is less rolling release than EndeavourOS, and yet less stable (for me). :D

Linux@programming.dev•What Have I Learned From Daily Driving Arch Linux For Three Years?
12·27 days agoExactly. The term “stable” in connection with software has the same problems of “free”; without understanding the context, it can be interpreted wrongly. “stable” type of distributions are meant to be “unchanging” in the sense of feature freeze. That off course depends on the distro or software in general how far this goes. Archlinux is “unstable” in the sense it is ever changing and adapting new technologies by breaking compatibility; something Debian does not.
I guess it makes sense. What I struggled with is, as the type is unusable basically and I didn’t like the idea it being a type. But for documentation reasons, it makes sense. Otherwise, it has no practical meaning. Even a comment could have the same effect.
To me it makes no sense. Because if it never returns, then it has no return value. Therefore it makes no sense to have a type for something that does not exist.
If it never terminates, then it means it runs forever.
I don’t understand why this never type was introduced at all. Instead functions not returning, shouldn’t Rust enforce returning from function and instead use a
Nonein place of never type? Otherwise how will the “Unwinding” of program flow implemented?
I knew it would be this. There was no other way, as it would be too sudden. Still little bit clickbaity, but I let it pass, because this is not a YouTube video or blog post for clicks and advertisement money.

Linux@programming.dev•Bazzite just delivered over a petabyte of ISOs in a single month
6·1 month agoNo, they don’t. Its actually described. Distrowatch just tracks how many clicks the pages on Distrowatch has. That’s all. But lot of people don’t understand and take these numbers as general popularity index.

81·1 month agoAnd on DistroWatch (last 30 days) its still place 16, just above NixOS. :D Shows again why DistroWatch shouldn’t be used as a generalized popularity comparison: https://distrowatch.com/index.php?dataspan=4 (Note the link will have different data after time goes on.)

I don’t know the exact definition of what vibe coding means, other than using Ai. This project exist since 2 years (if not longer) and I use it since a long time now (not regularly, just here and there). It’s an amazing tool and by far the best of its type (terminal filemanager) in my opinion. You can look into the code and judge yourself if that is of bad Ai quality. I personally don’t care how many emojis they use on their README or website. Using the program itself, I don’t see any emojis.
