It depends. GNOME on Wayland + Nvidia runs great. But if you try the tiling manager camp, you will run into several issues in sway, hyprland. Things like having to use software mouse because insert nvidia excuse and high cpu usage by just moving the mouse.

Well… I don’t know, I would recommend GNOME on Wayland or maybe KDE, haven’t tried the latest Plasma 6 release, but outside that, avoid it.

Fuck water, I want to change my battery.

Samsung smartwatches don’t work if you have an iPhone. That’s like… wtf? BTW I got an S23 and a Galaxy Watch. Love them but… come on Samsung, what the heck!

In my case, I have a Mac Mini Server 2011 but I use it to listen to music in HiFi. I haven’t received my DAC yet, but when it comes, perhaps I will swap to a linux distro. Sound in macOS is soooo well made.

Good to know, Apple’s security and privacy settings are good… giving the fact that they DON’T share any information that they harvest from you, which is a completely different thing than NOT harvesting at all. They like their customers data so much that they embedded encryption tools in their dedicated hardware design.

Regarding the Apple Password Manager, it is a good tool but ultimately I prefer to self host a solution agnostic to a company in which I hold no ability to speak or vote on their future. I recommend Bitwarden and a VPN (Wireguard) to access your vault.

The misconception of Debian as an “outdated” distro is… alarming. IDK but I am running Debian 12 (coming from latest Fedora) and I don’t feel any sign of early deprecation or that an already “old distro”. It’s smooth, stable and usable, like things should be if you use your computer to do other stuff and you rely on your installed software to be there for you when you need it.

People tends to freak out if the latest packages aren’t installed. Stop it, please, security patches are more important than having the latest Gnome/KDE version. Perhaps if we stop selling that idea in Youtube videos, newcomers to this space will not be rushing to install the latest things without knowing if they are worth and really good distros like Debian, which is NOT a corporate backed Linux Distribution, will get more traction.

(PS: in Fedora, you are a guinea pig for future RHEL updates and ultimately, more profits for IBM)

Back in the day (1999/2000) Linux seems to be a small niche, fun and novelty. I started with Turbolinux :D

Already installed it today. You won’t regret it.
