YouTube actually added a good feature for once, you can now set 3 thumbnails for a video and it will automatically A/B test them for you, you could already do this manually but this massively stream lines the process.

@BrodieOnLinux I've recently installed DeArrow and I'm so happy not to see all these A/B-tested thumbnails '^^ I've seen a lot of people rightfully discussing the privacy implications of Windows Recall but not as many mention that this "feature" is going to lead to people unintentionally breaking NDAs when their Recall data gets leaked from a malware.  NVIDIA officially doesn't suck on Linux anymore, the drivers are still proprietary but at least they work https://9to5linux.com/nvidia-555-beta-linux-graphics-driver-released-with-explicit-sync-support  @BrodieOnLinux Yeah, been using Linux since '98. I predict the next such "nvidia finally works right on Linux" announcement will be spotted sometime in 2031. KDE Plasma Constantly Stuttering, Try This!! #Linux #YouTube https://youtu.be/sCoioLCT5_o I didn't think of this earlier but a comment mentioned you could also move the .cache or at least the .cache/kwin/qmlcache into a tmpfs, I have not extensively tested this so I can't say if there are any unintended side effects @BrodieOnLinux I don't think it would be possible to cheaply prove that there are undesirable side effects. If one big application is using the .cache directory to store data the user really needs across reboots, then you personally might not use that application and be hurt by its data loss, but somebody else could lose one computer boot's worth of data that way - which could be quite a lot.

 @BrodieOnLinux as a non-native english speaker I found that one pretty difficult to follow. @BrodieOnLinux libreboot is still a terrible name for a nonfree software product even if it was near useless before. Imagine making an animal free burger called vegan burger. then add meat because more people like meat, but still call it vegan burger. @BrodieOnLinux The most authoritative video for me on the first bit of "drama" is Luke Smith's old video: I didn't know they were real but I caught myself a wild #Linux From Scratch user so I had to ask the simple question, why Video Release: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkkKNfYKJJg Audio Release: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tech-over-tea/episodes/I-Caught-A-Wild-Linux-From-Scratch-User--Zeckma-e2jpfda @BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online I'm so impressed that this guy got into such advanced stuff only after 4 years of having a computer 😄 Give me your most controversial Linux takes that nobody wants to admit are actually true. I'll start, Photoshop isn't actually a big deal for most people and it being missing is easier to complain about than fixing the real issues on the #Linux desktop

@BrodieOnLinux Desktop environments are not necessarily simpler to use and configure than window managers. I tried kde and it was hell. It's all so overcomplicated and confusing... I think it mostly depends on the user. Back to hyprland for me, which at least preserves my sanity. We're very happy and are going to make lots of baby tiled windows together. @BrodieOnLinux Linux (and not just the kernel) is almost all corporation, and the independent stuff is used as free work for corporation And people seems fine with it... The GNOME Circle Drama Is Absolutely Stupid #Linux #YouTube https://youtu.be/xaEJgO_QnAo @BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online You know he's right, the funniest part is the Linux Foundation spends twice as much on "Blockchain" than on #Linux development https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxejrh2Zs30OMtSb8xXQjvk9cg572gkPZz?si=t35GYrZlw9jL3_09

 @BrodieOnLinux Your system probably is using this already (provided you run a systemd-based distro): The mechanism to run things as a different user is used in there for a long time now. The new addition is a binary that triggers the existing mechanism with a slightly different configuration and tints the terminal while doing so. The mechanism itself is more solid than what sudo does, uses less code, exists in your OS already and gets rid of one more "set user id" binary. What's not to like? I've seen a lot of interesting discussion regarding Mint's choice to downgrade some apps to the GTK3 version, later fork them. Whilst a lot of people have been critical let me provide another perspective Projects like Mint do not like the state of GNOME/where it is going, instead of just sitting around whining about how much they don't like it they've taken it upon themselves to fork tools and maintain them for their own project. You may disagree with that choice but this is the spirit of FOSS The same can be said about COSMIC from System76, they have had serious disagreements with the direction of the project so they said "fuck it, we're just going to build our own desktop and run it the way that we want to run it". Could problems just be resolved upstream, maybe. But they have decided that this time has passed, any attempts made didn't go the way they wanted so they've decided to go off and do their own thing.  @BrodieOnLinux I respect the decision. Not liking something and then not doing anything about it achieves nothing. Forking it and taking it in their own direction is great Neofetch Is Officially Abandoned... What Now? #Linux #YouTube https://youtu.be/SnZ7OXTBG7I Looking at the GNOME Foundation expenses stresses me out even from the outside. You may have heard they were running a deficit for the past few years but it wasn't a small one. 2021 ran a 600k deficit, 2022 was 300k

@BrodieOnLinux Theres also no decorations on i3wm/swaywm. Which is kinda the point. I dont WANT decorations. Client side decorations just force them in an inconvenient way. @BrodieOnLinux whilst most GNOME design decisions work well enough for my personal use case, I'm definitely keen for more strong competition in this space (opinionated batteries-included desktop environments) Perhaps COSMIC, XFCE, KDE and others can see enough (Wayland) polish to at least give users viable alternatives, that way GNOME's design won't have the massive impact it currently has (and maybe they'll reconsider)  @BrodieOnLinux Looking on my Windows desktop (at work) seems like 80% of apps have client-side decorations. I gotta say the experience is quite inconsistent across apps, but most people won't notice the subtle differences. Intel ARC Battlemage Hasn't Been Cancelled... Yet #Linux #YouTube https://youtu.be/4hyMm0KoVbU  @BrodieOnLinux Personally, I don't think it'll get cancelled since the Arc series has been a hit with pre-builts. Would suck though if they abandoned the line, since I have an Arc 770 lol

 @BrodieOnLinux Immutable distros with Flatpak would probably be the standard already, if only the end users could choose to "sudo" a Flatpak into full system access at will.
@BrodieOnLinux Linux desktop systems would be subject to an endless flood of viruses and malware if they were more popular. SQLite Has The Greatest Code of Conduct Ever #Linux #YouTube https://youtu.be/WzCJlHbnzJg  @BrodieOnLinux this is actual comedy gold (also kinda unironic solid advice lol)
