I’m more concerned with Mozilla spending its meager resources to chase some fads instead of focusing on improving firefox.

Google does that a lot with their own web properties. I remember Google Meet didn’t support background replacement on Firefox, but switching Firefox’s user agent to Chrome suddenly fixed it.
It seems Mozilla is not immune to the AI hype. I just hope their AI endeavour won’t kill them when the AI hype finally ends.
It used to be a lot slower, which is why when Chrome showed up with its shiny new V8 engine (and other features) people switched from Firefox en masse. Now the performance difference is no longer noticeable.
Maybe, maybe not. Who knows. Not everyone will switch to Linux, but those who do must be introduced to it somehow. My first experience with Linux 18 years ago was very painful yet I eventually made the switch a few years later.
Let him go back to Windows. You already planted the idea of using Linux in his head. Next time he gets tired of windows for any reason, he knows there is an alternative and he’ll consider switching to Linux on his own.
Generally yes, but keep in mind that apt packages are maintained by canonical, while snap packages could be maintained by canonical, the apps’ original developers themselves (e.g. Firefox snap is maintained by Mozilla), or a 3rd party unrelated to canonical or the app’s developer (i.e. random dudes packaging apps into snap and submit them). If the snap packages are not maintained by canonical, there is nothing stopping the snap packagers to use a different versioning scheme, though it’s unlikely. In general, it’s a good idea to check the package entry on snapcraft.io to figure out who packaged them so you can decide if it’s trustworthy or not.
Ah sorry, I got it backward. Nvidia is dragging their asses on implementing “implicit” sync, so Wayland devs and nvidia ended up with a compromise and implemented the explicit sync protocol. IMO it’s just another example of Nvidia doing whatever they please and forcing everyone to do it their way or highway.
Unlike AMD and Intel, they don’t get along with the open source community well and generally do whatever they please, which is why they earned the ire of many linux developers. For example, they’re really dragging their asses with implementing explicit sync.
It was supposed to be the react-native killer!
I once crashed gdm by accidentally leaving some object on top of my keyboard which depressed some keys for hours.
Mullvad is going to sell subscriptions to both sides, right? Assuming Sweden is going to be neutral again during WW3.
Or perhaps not because Sweden just joined NATO last month.
How long would it take for an average guy to learn Chinese without actually living in China or near a Chinese diaspora?
Wow, I never thought of using usbip to work around wayland issue with kvm apps. Sounds useful as a last resort to get kvm working.
It’s usually used for storage servers these days. ZFS is most stable there.
Not sure if it’s possible on the latest version of gnome anymore. Maybe try turning off lock screen notification because those sleep warning notification would often shows up when the screen is already locked?
I kinda assumed anyone who know how to install Linux on their laptop wouldn’t have too much problem figuring out how VM works
Try running those adobe apps on a windows virtual machine. Use KVM with virt-managet instead of virtualbox. If the performance is acceptable for you, now you can use Linux as the primary os and only use the VM for adobe apps. VM boots faster too because you can just hit suspend and resume it again later.
GPU passthrough works pretty well these days, but anticheats will detect you running inside a VM. Evading anticheats detection is a separate issue unrelated with gpu passthrough, usually involves getting the vm to look like a real hardware as much as possible (e.g. using real mac address, hiding kvm hypervisor signature, etc). It’s quite a deep rabbit hole and I haven’t actually tried it.
But the privatized prisons are local businesses too, right?
