There’s probably a nice shell multiline command that does what you want lol. cat + awk unique count + sort

I’m just forgetting is there’s an easy way to keep the line numbers or filename so you can easily go back to the full page reference.

4 days?

Took me 4 seconds to realize I can actually use the super key and have my start menu pop up instantly and not watch it struggle to load 50 ads and tell me to download candy crush

Ask Pakistan for their professional coup-ing assistance /s

Probably Fedora, basically modern recommend over Ubuntu and used by Linus himself for being user friendly.

Bazzite is good if you don’t want to mess with traditional linux at all and want something more akin to Android (much harder to screw up).

Mint is great for everything except maybe gaming because their modules aren’t always up to date which can lead to performance issues.

I also think KDE is the better DE to choose, but that’s up to your own preference.

Very critical. GNOME and KDE have two very different UX paradigms.

Usually people used to Windows opt for KDE, and Mac or older Ubuntu users opt for GNOME.

The thing is though, a golden standard DE can easily be setup to act as both. XFCE is so customizable that I’ve seen both DE types setup as UNIX like or Windows like workflow.

I’m not sure if KDE or GNOME can do the same because I’m pretty sure they focus on a target audience.

What are your issues with KDE exactly? I always hated GNOME’s lack of standard window buttons and handling multiple windows in a Mac like fashion. Also the app menu which gives me flashbacks of ChromeOS.

Not only is it SNL, its the weekend update without Norm

Pretty straightforward actually, plenty of distros even ship their own USB flasher tool so that you don’t have to use rufus.

Definitely step by step instructions available and even official videos now.

There’s barely any actual 4K content you can consume.

Ironically there actually is if you bother pirating content because that’s the only crowd that will share full 4k Dolby Vision + Dolby Atmos/DTS-X BluRay rips.

Aside from that though, even 4k gaming is a struggle because GPU vendors went into the deep end of frame generation, which also coincidentally is the same mistake lots of TV OEMs already made.

tbf to this thread, wayland wasn’t really viable until 2023.

I made an existing comment on this that people didn’t like because I pointed out that most of Wayland’s “modern upgrades” like VRR, HDR, etc were unimplemented or unfinished for years. Even HDR is still “beta” on KDE iirc.

People also like to pretend the triple buffer wasn’t a can of worms for many users for a very long time (and still is on low power devices).

I bought one of these 64GB packs for less than $50 not even a year ago

People talking about history without mentioning the laziest answer is to use an alias, which bash usually has ll = la -la or my personal preference is ll = ls -lAh (list + Everything except . and .. + human readable file size)

I don’t know why this thread is complaining specifically about Chinese OEMs when Samsung has been doing this for years.

Okay fair but do you know anyone who actually used D-VHS lol.

I’m still crap at deciphering wine logs, but it doesn’t seem to show anything out of the ordinary.

Assuming this is a driver issue, have you tried or are you using akmod-nvidia-open: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA#Kernel_Open (example for Fedora)

I think some distros still have them split into 2 alternative packages.

Otherwise, do a heavy ram test with memtest86+ (booted) to check your XMP profile and RAM sticks are good based on your previous post.

VHS next to DVD on a CRT is why lol.

Good sound fidelity is easier to reach on a vinyl record than good video fidelity on magnetic tape. Hence why even old TV shows that were shot on film look great on modern TVs, but their tape counterparts look dated.

That all being said, VHS has inherently more sentimental value due to its widespread use for personal and home video. Anyone still using vinyl is either a hobbyist, collector, or moronic audiophile who can’t cope with stuff like opus or even flac/wav.

Use micro after everyone makes fun of you for using nano

Been on it permanently for years now. Only complaint is that I found XFS to be better than BTRFS, though most people probably wouldn’t notice.

Only other “complaint” is Fedora doesn’t have a lot of support for embedded arm devices, so you’re on your own if you want an RPM style distro on something like an Orange Pi.

SEATO

Its funny because all these grand Japanese OEMs like Sony and Panasonic got undercut by Korean rivals like LG and Samsung in the 2000s, which forced Sony to move further into exclusively high priced devices and for many other OEMs to leave the US or global market.

Now TCL and HiSense are undercutting the grand Korean OEMs, which is slowly forcing them out of the low-middle end market.

I upgraded from a 20+ year old Phillips LCD to TCL’s QM8K, and the display technology for being a QLED panel is astounding. It looks 95% like a high quality OLED for a fraction of the cost.

Only downside is Google TV (Junk Android that you have to debloat a bit) and for some reason the TV can’t passthrough Dolby Atmos from app players like Kodi, even though it can do DTS-X just fine. I’m pretty sure the second issue is just a software bug, but TCL has been taking ages to respond. Pass through from an external source works perfectly fine though.

If you’re in the market, I highly recommend seeing it in person at a hardware/electronics store. The side by side comparison is insane.
