Gentlemen, just for context, I usually use Linux. I have been a user of Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora for a few years.

Recently, I acquired a decent graphics card (GeForce RTX 4070) and decided to uninstall my Windows and install Linux.

I saw that Pop!_OS already has an image with everything pre-configured for Nvidia. Is this pre-configuration worth it, are the games more stable on this distribution, or is it the same as manually installing Nvidia's proprietary drivers on Manjaro?

It's a bit more complicated. Besides the Steam credentials, you also need to share your email and its password. You need to provide your mobile phone unlocked or share its password (for SMS and two-factor authentication).

I prefer just a centered green/red LED in the middle of the face.

I usually always have between 20 and 40 tabs open, but I’ve seen a few people in forums complaining that some add-ons would crash because those individuals had hundreds or even over a thousand tabs open simultaneously.

Multi-account containers are almost indispensable for developers. As for tab groups, I am currently using an add-on to manage them, but having a native feature would be very cool.

As long as corruption exists, lobbying will exist.

I can live with that, I mean, subscription for games, but once a game enters the catalog, it can never be removed.

So the next Windows won't come with any text editor unless you pay extra for Word?

[–] lawrence@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Yes. But I don't remember which AI tool I used. It could be GPT-4, Copilot, or Stable Diffusion. I didn't even ask to have my name written, but there it is.

Vivaldi has the best tab management ever.
