  • Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discuss

    Jump

  • You might enjoy this video/series: https://youtu.be/yawlonjLp4c

    I've been trying to get my audio working the way I want (instead of everything just going to the default sink), and it's been helpful.

  • How to stop Wayland from broadcasting my selected text?

    Jump

  • I thought text selection was handled via keyboard. Also been a hot minute since I first learned about this, and not using that buffer has not exactly been a common discussion point, since being able to reuse text is typically a desirable trait!

  • How to stop Wayland from broadcasting my selected text?

    Jump

  • I thought this was an old feature of Linux (maybe Unix?). Highlighted text gets copied to the buffer, which is useful when you're on the command line (because Ctrl+C ends the current process).

    I don't know how you'd change this, but maybe that can give you some clues on what to do.

  • RAM shortage chaos expands to GPUs, high-capacity SSDs, and even hard drives

    Jump

  • Same. I'm thinking about replacing the PSU, which is one of the original parts, to ensure the rest of the parts don't fail due to improper power delivery.

    At least PSUs haven't yet spiked in price.

  • Big AI has PC users furious. Nvidia and Micron's weird emotional appeals make it worse

    Jump

  • Absolutely, I agree. I think we are likely to see a shift in what indie devs use for their game engines (love2d, Godot, etc.) as PC specs stagnate, and I am of the opinion that GOG will see an increase in sales, too.

    The "runs like shit" games have a shrinking market.

  • Inb4 we get astroturfed "Luddites" telling us to just abandon electricity and live like the Amish.

  • It's not a win-win, it's a silver lining amongst a shitstorm of suck.

    Why? Because what if you're not trying to upgrade but just maintain? What if your RAM fails? Or your GPU? Now you're out there with the AI tech bros vying for a piece of a production line that you have no influence over, but they do. If you just built your rig, you might be safe to wait a while, but what if you built in 2020? Those parts are getting old, by computer standards; they don't last forever.

    We don't actually know when prices will normalize, because nobody is calling in the IOUs, and nobody is clamping down on that circular economy; 2027 is just a guess. We might be waiting even longer.

  • You just described the AAA gaming market almost to a T.

    The indie market, on the other hand, typically cares about what they produce, and you're far more likely to get optimized games there that don't require extra launchers, internet connections, or a massive GPU—not that it doesn't happen there, mind you, but it's going to tend to be more of a skill issue than a profit-driven one.

    Also, there's still very good games in the retro space.

  • Android Power Users Can Now Run Full Desktop Linux Environments Without Root Access

    Jump

  • This seems pretty cool. I have an old Android tablet I'd love to try this on, but it's got pretty weak stats compared to more contemporary devices; I wonder if this could work...?

  • Europe Has a New Plan to Break Free from US Tech Dominance

    Jump

  • I would be curious to find out why, honestly. Is there some economic factor? Has Adobe thoroughly captured the market? Is it cultural? I know the comment author speculates that it's a cultural/political shift, but I'm curious what the data would show!

  • Revised Steam Survey For December 2025 Puts Linux Gaming Marketshare At 3.58%

    Jump

  • I sincerely mean this: thank you for your sacrifice. I wish there were more people like you who were willing to make the sacrifices necessary to stick it to the big corpos.

  • Revised Steam Survey For December 2025 Puts Linux Gaming Marketshare At 3.58%

    Jump

  • I'll be excited if Linux hits 20% total market share, which is about where Apple sits last time I checked. That would put Linux squarely as a contender for normies.

  • First tech device I've ever bought where I didn't feel some amount of buyer's remorse. There's nothing I dislike about it, and I can even install my own distro on it, if I so desire. Because of the form factor, I've even been able to tackle my backlog!

  • After Micron's greedy decision, SK Hynix could also exit consumer DRAM and NAND business

    Jump

  • According to the article, it might be a company in China, but that remains to be seen. They could just as easily pivot into AI bullshit to try to get a piece of that pie before the bubble pops.

  • Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards - X’s deepfake porn feature clearly violates app store guidelines. Why won’t Apple and Google pull it?

    Jump

  • Exactly. They're okay with the fascist Xitpool, but if any regular dev ever crossed those "guidelines," they'd be banned in a heartbeat.

  • Loss32: An idea for a Linux designed around Win32 apps

    Jump

  • Same with CachyOS, but Loss32 isn't just trying to run an on-demand emulation layer within your DE, it's trying to be the always-on default. It's ambitious, to be sure!

  • News orgs win fight to access 20M ChatGPT logs. Now they want more.

    Jump

  • ...OpenAI now faces calls for sanctions and demands to retrieve and share potentially millions of deleted chats long thought of as untouchable in the litigation.

    Proof that chats are never deleted, they're just hidden and archived. Stop giving the slop bots free training data.

  • Loss32: An idea for a Linux designed around Win32 apps

    Jump

  • Similar ideas but different approaches. ReactOS is trying to essentially reverse engineer Windows, whereas Loss32 is going to run literally everything in Wine.

    I'm kind of excited about this one, because it's likely to uncover issues in Wine and upstream any improvements they make.
