Can someone please explain the joke?

Yeah, everyone knows the year of Linux will be in +∞

What? Nobara has pre-installed stock Google Chrome? That sucks…

Cool, where can we find it?

Or nushell.

I understand the argument being made, but I kind of disagree. Yes, picking a DE in which you’ll be comfortable is really important (and often an undervalued aspect of using Linux for the first time), but I think that the time you need to spend self-maintaining your distro is more important, and is also prone to make-or-break your first-time Linux experience. That’s the most important factor on whether a new user says “I love Linux and want to continue using it” or “I fricking hate Linux, it’s filled with a bunch of problems, I’d rather just use Windows instead”. And that’s why it’s important to recommend beginner-friendly distros, as to avoid frustration of newcomers, because those are more manageable (unless those newcomers want the frustration of managing something that they don’t quite understand :)

Does it matter which one in specific? No, and it’s probably at this point that the DE and visual looks should kick in.

Boo, what a blatant copy of the https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ /s

I’m curious where linux fits into the story.

Someone here on Lemmy recently shared a really interesting article about the invention of Linux, written by a friend of Linus Torvalds who also worked on the project for a long time: https://lwn.net/Articles/928581/

Real Kanjidamage vibes

For anyone wondering:

1. There was a plugin on Unity Store that acted a bridge between Unity and libVLC, which allowed developers to make video players inside the game engine. As the post says, it got removed.
2. This plugin isn’t made by VideoLAN, it’s made by a company named Videolabs that includes several people who supposedly have contributed a lot on VLC and FFMPEG.
3. The Videolan team made a blog post about this, if you want to know more: https://mfkl.github.io/2024/01/10/unity-double-oss-standards.html

Can’t wait for the tech reviews on this thing.

Oops- I said the wrong instamce

You missed the whole point of the article. If you don’t have social media, you pretty much aren’t advertising yourself. (What will you do instead? Ask people who like your art to show it to friends and family? Putting up posters in the streets saying “Please look at my art”?) No advertisement, no new fans of yours. No new fans of yours, no money from your art.

Android?

Imagine doing a 720 motion input for turning off your computer

As far as I can tell, content published via the Nostr protocol cannot be deleted, and this seems to be using it, so there’s that. Also, it seems like it allows you to easily send crypto to the video creator…? There’s also the fact that, whenever multiple are watching the same video at the same time, Peertube can pretty much create a P2P network to speed up download speeds, which I think no other video platform does.

When talking about cool programs, you can’t forget the classic cowsay

I guess (almost) everyone here wants to recommend their own distro
