I tend to just share lists, and if they can't be bothered to look the song up then their loss

This! Set up virt manager or Virtual Box, then you can try all the distros you want

As a DWM user I won't be moving for a long time. Yes I know about DWL, but it dosnt have half the patches I use yet.

I do like the lower amount of screen tearing on Wayland, but I've minimised it in Xorg.

Honesty at this point I don't really care about Linux becoming mainstream. I mean call me elitist, but I feel like if it became a major desktop operating system a lot of the development would turn to making sure it's safe for IT illiterate people to use.

Part of why I love Linux so much is as someone who actually has a decent idea of what I'm doing I feel like the operating system leaves me alone to do what I want with my own computer.

Do you really think if everyone started using Linux you'd still be able to delete the boot loader or wipe your whole installation with one command.

Of course not! They would have to fit 10 million safety features and limit a ton of what the user can do just like Windows and MacOS.

So as much as I love Linux I think it's best being left as an advanced power users desktop operating system.

st. Fonts look great and I've even been able to add a vim mode for scrollback including selecting and copying text.

If I need something fast( usually on a new system) that's in most distros repos and automatically installs all it's dependencies( and doesn't have to many like gnome terminal and konsole) I tend to use sakura, though xfce terminal is also pretty good.

Don't you mean coreboot, as the point of Libreboot is that it's a coreboot distro that's as open and libre as possible

Could it be that the manjaro repos have older versions of the HIP runtimes then what blender 4.0 is built for? Just a thought. Either way I would report it to the blender devs so they can fix it if it's a bug

So I recently made a discovery that I honesty feel daft for not realizing before.

For anyone who recently moved to Linux or like me didn't think about it there are separate video acceleration libraries for your GPU! Now most of you were probably completely aware of that. But I wasn't so I've been mainly watching TV on my ThinkPad X230 for a couple of years at this point, and I always found video playback kinda lacking sometimes(stuttering, screen tearing, etc), but I always though that was due to the generally bad intel GPU drivers on Linux( there are libraries for AMD and Nvidia too). Until I came across this page on the Arch wiki( which except package names should apply to any other distro).

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration

And I've since had much better video playback performance that no longer has stuttering and screen tearing!

So I hope this helps someone else at some point in time have a better experience on their Linux distro watching some TV or YouTube.
