  • Nope.

    Hate to keep litigating this around here, but the shift alone is enough. Explaining to people WTF an immutable filesystem is, is a sure way to frustrate them into giving up, despite whatever comms finesse you might THINK you have.

    Counterpoint: STOP SUGGESTING IMMUTABLE DISTROS TO NEW USERS

    For people who just want a functional OS, they don’t want to have to think about new rules. They need a quick off-ramp from Windows that acts as they expect.

    Package management is already enough of a mindfuck for people switching, then you’re throwing in containers, permissions, flatpak vs native packages, what sandboxing is, why your browser likely can’t just upload a simple fucking file, and why your camera doesn’t work on Zoom, because you have a meeting in 10 minutes.

    Unless you are handing people something akin to a mobile OS with everything all inclusive and configured so EVERYTHING works off the bat, you’re doing such a huge disservice to people switching over to an immutable distro, and there is ZERO benefit, but all kinds of added frustration.

    You need to stop, and I yield my time.






  • It will TECHNICALLY still work at whatever version Nvidia cuts off support at, which is pretty soon for GTX cards (they’ve already cut off the mobile counterparts). So you’ll stop getting updates, but it should still work as long as that driver is made available still in some form that whatever distro you are using can install it, or you compile it from scratch. I would not trust Nvidia’s installer to still be working by then in it’s current form because it’s a MESS.


  • This is a dumb poll.

    1. People are pissed at Democrats because of Trump
    2. Nobody wants Harris to try and run again
    3. Newsom isn’t a candidate

    Do this poll again and see how AOC, Mamdani, and Sanders are against Trump. The question in this post is asking which type of Turd Sandwich you’d like, with no option for “None of the above”.

    Trump is wildly unpopular, and people will vote against him, but if you’re asking which other unpopular candidate you’d vote for, it’s a stupid question.
