i cant pick between fedora and nobara
Looking at Nobara, it seems like a modified Fedora with some gaming related things preinstalled and some tweaks.
It could be fine to try out but, documentation may not always match with vanilla Fedora so you may have some more trouble finding the issue.
There is also a chance the distro being quite new just stops existing after a while, which is fine if you are just trying stuff out but not to settle on.
That being said for a first time you probably won't stick to anything anyway.
End of the day you can get mostly the same experience on any reasonable distro.
Differences mainly boil down to what the defaults are.
How up-to-date is the distro, more up-to-date also means you probably need to update more often, things change more often.
How wel documented your distro is.
End of the day it's a matter of trying things out, reading / trying to do things yourself and figuring out what works for you.
Personally I run Arch on my desktop, and Debian on servers.
I settled there quite a few years ago and have seen little reason to move.
Still in general I would not recommend vanilla arch, while you could read the docs you probably don't know what you like yet.
This makes picking the right things harder.
Anyway good luck on your journey

this wont get mass adoption because it's not made for it
this is basically a public test/QA/dev device and mass adoption should follow with later revisions/versions
cursive summit
It's not made for it = a million expected sales?
cursive summit
A million devices sold in Apple's eyes is nothing but considering the price they want for it, do they even sell a million of their top end macs?
cursive summit
do you know how many quests are sold lol
One costs 400$, other 3.5k
ashen spindle
cost does not matter when you said mass adoption
mass adoption does not lower the number when it gets more expensive
cursive summit
So Apple is going to go the Meta route of selling underpriced goggles for 800$ or so just for mass adoption and make a major loss?
You can only get mass adoption when your price is approachable for most
ashen spindle
???
cursive summit
What are you question marking for
ashen spindle
this device is not for mass market adoption
so follow up are going to aim for that gradually
as for price, some parts will come down, for others, look at what people pay for an iphone
they dont need to hit quest prices
cursive summit
A million units sold sure does sound like they are expecting good sales
1 in 300 Americans or 1 in 500 Europeans buying one is fairly wide adoption
Though yes, mostly it's the R&D that matters here
Though Apple's marketing mill sure is trying to blow the whole thing up
ashen spindle
yes and its total numbers not release sales numbers
so them originally wanting a million is not like they expect a million and then another million the next quarter
also fun to see how many places call it apple reducing expected sales when the original numbers came from apple not being able to make that many

They have some sort of media converter or switch between you and their network
They wouldn't let you hook your own transmitter to their fiber, because someone dumb ass will throw the wronf waveleght or way to kuch powwr and damage something
Both my fiber providers, make me use a swtich
That they provide
Then I can put my qfsp+ module/dac into it

They wouldn't let you hook your own transmitter to their fiber, because someone ...
well the ones i worked with allowed you to buy your own media converter and input the login details for decrypting traffic
vagrant pagoda
Decrypt? Never seen business or residential fiber with encryption
fair gull
well depends on how the fibre works
this was a passive network
so all endpoints get all packets
vagrant pagoda
Oh never used anything that shitty lol
vagrant pagoda
Both of mine are multiple gig
fair gull
usually cheaper as theres no active electronics on the road sides
vagrant pagoda
So passive wouldn't do them much good
fair gull
these also reached 10gig
vagrant pagoda
How would you put multiple 10g on a single wavelength?
vagrant pagoda
Also no electronics on the roadside for mine, my length from my switch to DC is miles
vagrant pagoda
It's dedicated 5g and 3g links
So they don't oversell on the link to me
So it's direct
fair gull
i highly doubt its direct
prob just a separate rack in a small network hut
cause thats how it usually is set up
idk if america maybe just does it entirely different
vagrant pagoda
Nah it's just multimode to DC from the local node
fair gull
but its completely unsustainable to run cables for each dedicated connection to a dc
vagrant pagoda
You can have 100s of links on one fiber though
vagrant pagoda
You can mix in and out wavelengths
fair gull
that doesnt matter though
you still only connect 1 endpoint to 1 output in the dc
thats highly inefficient
vagrant pagoda
You have say 30-50 local users
You mix that into a single link to the dc
Then split it
vagrant pagoda
No
vagrant pagoda
All optical passives
fair gull
so its passive
vagrant pagoda
Each end user only gets a single wavelength
fair gull
yes
fair gull
if its passive you can
vagrant pagoda
No
fair gull
well yes
fair gull
thats one expensive way to do passive networks i guess
fair gull
because now you need prisms that filter wavelengths instead of purely split the beam
way cheaper to just split it and send all wavelengths to all attached ONTs
and then encrypt packets per customer
vagrant pagoda
But I know if I unplug the module from their switch and put into mine. With no info it will get ips
It's just a normal splitter with filter/gates inside
fair gull
i highly doubt its a passive network ngl
vagrant pagoda
Never seen inside
fair gull
what you describe would be inbetween the normal pon and aon topology
id love to learn more though so if you figure out what the exact topology is please let me know

you still only connect 1 endpoint to 1 output in the dc
pons can have 10s to thousands of connections depending on how much you care about the speed of the endpoints, and using something like pppoe or 802.1x authentication is perfectly fine
but you are right that often they often are not using splitters
most isps run singlemode to the neighborhood just like with cable
then they run massive numbers of fiber out of the active boxes, one to each customer

thats not pon then is it

it is better as far as regulation forced it to be better, withing those regulations we have had issues with getting fibre pushed as the current gen tech
fair gull
theres a slight issue with how our laws work as they mandate that everyone should have access to a telephone line which now means internet aswell... this basically forces anyone who builts fibre to also rent it out to other companies after a certain time period to recoup investment
everyones waiting for someone else to build new stuff

i paid 40bucks a month for gigabit coax at vodafone and t-online wanted more than that for 100mbit vdsl
astral haven
i mean price controls for renting out the fiber?
fair gull
oh no thats controlled by the company renting out as far as i know
most of the time its 5-6eur per customer per month
astral haven
then why do they care?
they make as much money as they want?
fair gull
because no one would get their contracts if everyone else offers 1gbit fibre for 25bucks
astral haven
so increase the price to rent the fiber out?
fair gull
1gbit fibre at telekom is 80eur a month

We almost had fibre installed Australia wide here, but then our lefty government got replaced by the righty government and the righty government didn't want foxtel to face real competition so they downgraded it to "Fibre to the Node"

im pretty sure theyd get some anti competition shit thrown at them then

my work computer, 8th gen + 1030 equivalent pascal with 5 monitors and 2 dozen programs open takes like 300ms
astral haven
so press the single button in windows settings to apply that to the printscreen button?
i find winshifts to be faster than printscreen tho since I dont have to move my hand
coarse cloak
idk why but any hotkeys that uses winkey are overcomplicated for me, and i use powertools every now and then
astral haven
what
cursive summit
Which is why I find it really damn useful
Lightshot to me is snippy, intuitive and easy to use
ashen spindle
well you dont want your shortcuts be something the average idiot hits constanyl by accident and it also makes sense to have winkey+ others as macro button for windows fuctions
cursive summit
None of the in-built Windows ones come close
astral haven
coarse cloak
the time it takes for me to remember a hotkey that uses winkey is half the time i need to press prntscrn
skill issue from me tbh
cursive summit
Win shift S does not allow for quick editing
astral haven
since when?
cursive summit
Since now?
coarse cloak
winkey ctrl is fine for me
winkey shift is weird
cursive summit
astral haven
cursive summit
None of these are for drawing tools
astral haven
because you havent taken the picture yet
cursive summit
Lol so I have to then click on a notification, do the editing there and only then I have my ready image?
When lightshot is an all-in-one fast package?
astral haven
the notification allows you to take the screenshot in a single keypress, and edit it later on your own time
cursive summit
That's the whole problem
Edit it later
I either want to edit it, or not
Why is it a 2 step process?
ashen spindle
do you edit every single screenshot you take?
cursive summit
No, but I have the option right there to do it right after I took a screen snip
astral haven
how many keypresses is it for lightshot from nothing to image in clipboard
astral haven
including drawing?
cursive summit
Well with drawing it'd be 3
astral haven
and only for a small portion of the screen?
cursive summit
Any portion
astral haven
how do you select in 2 presses?
cursive summit
Printscreen -> select area with mouse -> save?
astral haven
thats 3
cursive summit
Not counting mouse
astral haven
yes counting mouse lmao
otherwise its 1 for anything you do with windows snipping lmao
cursive summit
If I just want a general snip, shift + printscreen takes a fullscreen one without entering the selection GUI
Click save or ctrl+s
If it did autosnip you wouldn't be able to edit it on the spot
astral haven
so thats the difference
cursive summit
Yeah and it's still far more user friendly that whatever winkey shift S is
astral haven
instead of requiring an extra keypress every time, its a button that you only need to press if you need to edit
its always 1 keypress to get an image onto your clipboard
rough osprey
isnt the Windows tool just Printscreen?
astral haven
optionally
cursive summit
2, considering you still have to select a portion of your screen, Carmonben
astral haven
thats only if you told it to
cursive summit
Not to mention lightshot has additional functionality of 1) Uploading image to the web 2) Upload the snip to google image search
astral haven
ok there you go
cursive summit
Or printing, for some reason
astral haven
finally new features that are not just "being less convenient"
cursive summit
They are still more convenient
coarse cloak
ShareX > lightshot
unless you need to choose what to do with the screenshot all the time
cursive summit
Ah yeah I also have that off
astral haven
š¤
cursive summit
I completely forgot it actually does do that out of the box for some reason
astral haven
biggest advantage tho is you dont have a window to deal with once you have taken the screenshot
its always 1 button and 1 click to have an image of whatever you want ready to go
aaaaand it doesnt require any extra software, without any uploading by default, tho it would be nice to have an option that isnt relying on the online clipboard
tho it does have support for nearby share if you want to send it direct to your phone
because it immedately appears in the clipboard, you get both the unedited and the edited versions of the screenshot saved too
well at least until you restart your computer
cursive summit
Lightshot does also have functionality to save as file on the getgo right after snip
From what I'm seeing win shift S only saves into clipboard
That's again more presses just to save as image on desktop or wherever
Well, whatever, if that is what you feel productive with, that's fine, I just find that really unwieldy
astral haven
its 2 buttons if you forget about mouse
4 if you dont
yes and/or yes
windows 11 fixes that
1 month of pain now is better than 2 years of suffering and 1 month of pain later imo
cursive summit
Use debloated win11
Then you don't have to deal with the terrible features
Cause yes, it does actually suck
Man they just have to change features to claim they are doing something new
analog sinew
wtf
who comes up with that shit
"lets umm take the place where we show icons and hide them"
cursive summit
I am still perplexed why they had the mindset that changing the right click context menu, I think it's called, was a good idea
Instead of right click -> properties, now you just have to bother with clicking another button and only then are the useful options showed
Like, why
astral haven
not sure what you mean by that?
you just drag them down like you used to
cursive summit
And some peeps just say "Oh just change that in the registry" or whatever, the fact is, why am I supposed to undo Microsoft's work to have a better functioning product?

until they patch that because why would people customize their os
astral haven
also btw you go straight to the complete right click menu by holding shift just like on macos
reef patrol

Registry tweaks are also notorious for being patched out.
astral haven
which is real dumb but that is how it is
they probably arent gonna get rid of shift tho
its been a thing forever
i think since at least 8.1
our av provider's only way to scan a specific file is the legacy menu :/
but yea mcafee and kaspersky throwing 3 menu items into the menu each and many other programs doing the same ruined it for everyone
cursive summit
Microsoft to me has shown time and time again that even it comes to OS stuff, they have no clue what they are doing
Their technological stuff is good, but when it comes to QoL it's atrocious

Windows 11 is just a downgrade over 10, and 10 seemed like a downgrade over 8/7

I am done with Windows being just ass

oh so you havent even tried win 11 for any length of time
cursive summit
That's where I started
cursive summit
oh so you havent even tried win 11 for any length of time
I have tried both
Vanilla, which was a horrible experience
And a debloated one which was better by a country mile
But had issues with compatibility cause it removed too much bloat
I have experience with Linux so I will proceed with that once 10 expires
astral haven
linux is near windows 7 in terms of functionality and form
some people like that sure
but that was such an insanely long time ago in terms of ux that its really painful to use
again
its near the same level as dex
and dex is 3 years old and runs on phones
oh wait no its 5 years old
3 years old when my phone released
cursive summit
and dex is 3 years old and runs on phones
Or Samsung displays which are basically just AIOs but weaker
cursive summit
Dex also has that though?
astral haven
you can cast desk to their screens, but thats just miracast
it runs on phones (or tablets)
its basically an android launcher that first released in 2019
but its already more useable for me than macos is...
cursive summit
Seems those smart displays from Samsung are just basically TVs
astral haven
macos fullscreen is still such an atrocity, and they dont even have support for window snapping
astral haven
Seems those smart displays from Samsung are just basically TVs
well yes?
samsung basically copy pasted all of the moderately productive aspects of their tv os and just left off the other features
cursive summit
Which is still better than Win11
astral haven
???
look fam
windows has 10s of thousands of features, with hundreds of millions of options available
linux has thousands of features with millions of options available
macos has 100s of features with 100s of thousands of features available (and millions of features paywalled)
and tizen os has 10s of features with 100s of options available
cursive summit
Yeah sounds like I'd rather use dex over win11 anyways
fickle ore
i love windows 11
astral haven
dex is on the order of 100s of features however with 10s of millions of options available
the only real problem with dex is that android's audio handling is simply not robust enough
one of the missing features is the ability to chose a mic for example
like on what planet would I want to use my phones built in mic when i plugged in a usb mic???
empty wren
Give it some time, not that long ago external microphones became a feature in camera apps on android
astral haven
sure yea but its been 5 years, and 3 of pandemic...
if you cant video call properly?????
empty wren
If only more competition existed I guess since really the only other provider of a proper desktop mode is motorola
astral haven
and only samsung allows you to run native, tho they limit it to the tablets which is moderately unfortunate
empty wren
That does seem a bit odd considering how much smaller a phone screen is compared to a tablet
astral haven
well it makes sense, dex is optimized for larger screens
oh and thats not to mention the complete inability to run more than 1 monitor
and the extremely limited resolution support
empty wren
1080p max?
astral haven
better than macos where your processor melts if you use an unsupported resolution, but black bars are awfully annoying, and that only happens if your monitor supports one of the native resolutions
astral haven
1080p max?
well no
but you are limited to specific resolutions
empty wren
Oh I see now
Also when you mentioned native do you mean dex can run on the tablet screen with a mode key or something?
astral haven
correct
except its more when you launch dex you have the option of native rather than just wired or wireless external
empty wren
Wow cool now if only there were more applications
empty wren
Well not all apps play nicely I imagine
astral haven
yea
empty wren
Like chrome or probably any browser works like desired minus extensions maybe Firefox could be used if extensions are necessary
astral haven
samsung browser supports extensions natively lol
empty wren
Well that works I guess lol

Iām looking to buy a new pc
Could anyone rate the setup? 240hz 1080p, itās probably a bit overkill but could look to upgrade to 1440p in future
cursive summit
"probably a bit overkill"
More like underkill, just go for 1440p from the get-go
I mean, the PC is fine but you would be overpaying by about 30-40% if you were to build it yourself
old marlin
can you remove the antivirus from that
cursive summit
That PC could be made for 1.2k
old marlin
also yea check what it costs to build it yourself
cursive summit
can you remove the antivirus from that
Prebuilts don't have that option afaik

as long as you have an 8gb usb stick and another windows machine accessible you can just make a windows boot stick

Should I downgrade the motherboard?
1440p upgrade in 2 years or so , Iām fine with 1080 for now

if you want 600fps in ow2
5800x3d is the way to go

Yeah compared to that FF16 3 million sales or more now seem low, but if you compare that to 15 you need to keep in mind that launched on pc and people expected more and they hyped it up after 13 wasā¦ a gameā¦
16 I think will sell better than 15 just more sales later on rather than frontloaded like 15 and the pc port can be massive if done right
old marlin
15 launched on pc way later though
ashen spindle

hairworks
Ain't that the feature Nvidia designed to boot out all the competition cause it worked like shit on anything that isn't Nvidia?

which is funny
because most physx compute was not done on the gpu

like borderlands 2 with physx imo is straight up unplayable even on modern high end hardware
