I wouldn’t say that windows is about speed and performance now. Not to mention bloat.
Most games running near same performance on Linux. And funny enough, some games run even better under proton + wine than windows versions
Tbf it does say perceived speed. Perception is shaped by marketing and bells and whistles regardless of reality, and all that jazz.
My perception is W11 is that it’s hella slow. Rainbow Dash should just get like Bazzite or CachyOS.
Rainbow Dash would definitely be using CachyOS
Oddly the only people who would perceive windows as “fast” are the ones who haven’t used anything else.
I’ve used a Mac. It won’t even let me set the screen resolution to an exact pixel value. It doesn’t even say the number, it’s insane how dumbed down it is
? Mine does… seems like there was a checkbox to show it maybe? My work stuff is all linux. My home stuff is a mix of mac and linux. Under the hood mac is *nix based and with homebrew it really ties the 2 os’s together. I don’t care for Mac politics, especially Timmy’s ass kissing to trump. However i do like the hardware and the os is very capable once you crack that candy shell.
here is how mine looks like
It just says bigger or smaller, doesn’t say what the resolution is
This tells how to make it show the resolution. On mine it’s always visible
https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/change-your-displays-resolution-mchl86d72b76/mac
It doesn’t show me the number! I can’t just select 1080p to run my game at 1080p full screen on the iGPU because there is no number
Furthermore, I don’t even know the current resolution (but it’s too slow to run even ancient games at retina on the iGPU)
If it’s not exactly 1080p then my full screen sensitivity is different! The higher resolution means my 800 dpi feels slower
You know how many times I tried to install some driver on windows, just for it to say fuck you?
-
install windows Euro version
-
it dosent include direct sound
-
direct sound is probably a directx lib, install that
-
nope, I look it up (for euro version of course)
-
I should go to the „add or remove features”
-
type into searchbar, find it instantly
-
can’t find
-
apparently I’ve been using the legacy version thats accessible and correctly indexed in the search bar. What I need is the new thing with the same name that is only accessible in 3 sub menus
-
so basically if I want to install dhcp servers, hypervisor etc, I need the old menu, but if I want libs for those or slightly different versions I need the new menu
-
install
-
wat 10 mins at a loading bar that tells me nothing, just for it to fail with no error code
-
repeat until I go back to linux
-
Only eggheads like twilight use Linux.
Nix user. The declaritive config IS the documentation and I enjoy no longer having to document how to setup my system as much. I don’t enjoy scripting or automating things, but I enjoy the benefits of only needing to do it once via Nix’s config system.
I enjoy engineering: an engineer will spend 3 hours figuring out how to do a 2 hour job in 1 hour.
I’d assign pinkie pie to a rolling release like arch or gentoo. You can customize and get constant updates. You can also switch around the desktop environment to keep things new and interesting.
These frequentchanges goes with her energetic personality.
I think that works better than “this is OS can tolerate her”
She would follow an online guide to change the emoji font, not noticing that it’s for Windows 10, not back up the registry before editing the
seguiemj.ttfentry toNoto Color Emoji.ttfand thus freezing any program trying to render emoji, breaking the OS because there’s one in her username on the login screen. No, Windows 11 can’t handle her.Changing the default emoji font is easy and safe on Linux with
fontconfig, just add the font name among aliases tosans-serifin~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf(user) or/etc/fonts/local.conf(global) and you can use any emoji font you can get your hands on. Heck, evengrubcomes with emoji (monochrome, obviously) in its defaultunicode.pf2font.That is also true for NixOS. Since it’s declarative, the only things that break when you switch DEs are the settings the DEs themselves change when you run them
I only tried nixos once and briefly, so I’m not that familiar with it. Is it a rolling release distro?
There’s an unstable channel. Because of how nix works you can mix different channel packages since deps are independent (nothing is installed system wide)
As a nix user I can confirm my twilight sparkles.
except RD it looks good.
For bluefast you could either take something with fast releases such as arch or fedora. Or something lightweight with faste boottimes, such as Peppermint or Bodhi.
Dash would certanly use CachyOS. For Rarity, anything as long as the DE is GNOME. Pinkie would be a chronical distrohopper.
Grammar check helpful been would have a.
I may be a certified expert in My Little Pony, but I’ve only used like 3 distros, so I don’t think I’m qualified enough to weigh in.
Yep. And I would be Fluttershy.
I don’t know MLP, that was after my time. I was into YuYuHakusho/Ghost Files and I’m a dude.
Windows sucks a lot. Most Linux users hate Windows. I even got my wife on Linux Mint after the forced update, she’s been on Windows exclusively her whole life.
