Hi luke im a gentoo user binary packages arent mandatory i still compile everything from source. The decision for adding binary packages if i recall was to give users more choice and that was reiterated on the news item about the binary packages PS: some big programs like firefox, the kernel or libreoffice already had binary versions rather than compiling from source, i personally used the binary for libreoffice and yes you can mix binary programs and source compiled programs portage is a really great package manager. Its also really good if ur installing gentoo on an old laptop you dont have to compile certain large packages. Now ofc the use flags dont work for bin pkgs which it makes sense as a maintainer you dont want to compile 5 different versions of vlc one with opus one without opus one with opus and flac one with flac but no opus

Here something which still sucks on Linux: audio-software using 100% audio-volume for 'new' programs. For example, in my Firefox-window the sound-volume remains the same but as soon as I open a private window of Firefox the audio-volume is set to 100%. Whenever I play a new game the audio-volume is 100%. This is not only annoying, it also is dangerous (hearing). It gets worse when you can't leave the game because the developer uses some weird mode which makes the game freeze as soon as you leave it (tiling window manager), for most of such buggy games you can solve that with a setting in the video/graphics-menu, for some games you can't, I currently have at least 3 of those games.

It works for me on Arch, and previously on Manjaro. You need a swap partition larger than your RAM, and a couple of modifications to config files. The Arch wiki has the details.

Where can i find the list of what the LF does and is involved in with? I went to their webseite and did not really find alot of what was put on the list here. Maybe some points have been paraphrased? Someone can help put pls?

Thanks we have China and Russia yet to continue with the kernel development. Ps: kde Plasma 6 is awesome

0.5% budget used for linux 2024. I can feel it.... The budget will go towards farm management (W?)

Did anything happen on the Arch side of things? I missed them in the 'distros' section.

Undergoing most serious impacts of any distro from Neofetch going unmaintained :smile: Similar to Debian because where Debian has non-sucky central organisation, Arch is minimalist about centralizing at all. RTFM ethos is perhaps colliding with rising popularity.

Why do companies care? They're practically doing the work for free. More FOSS projects need to start soliciting donations, especially big ones. A lot of contributors are doing it as a hobby. Imagine how much more productive they'd be if they were also making actual money from their work?

@BlueEyedVibeChecker

Linux Mint user here. Linux IS amazing (sometimes) but it is not better than Windows. Windows just works, and while Mint specifically is the closest Linix distro to "just work", there are still so many things that have to be done manually, or with extra steps. Playing my retro PC CD games that can't be bought digitally like Metal Gear Solid(96) and SEGA Rally(95) on Windows is just insert disc and install, on Mint it was insert disc, install Wine, then install disc, and other distros were Insert disc, install Wine, install game, play with no sound, or with game-breaking frame pacing issues, etc. Many softwares are just better than their open source Linux equivalents, like PaintDotNet; there's no GOOD alternative for it here. My Wi-fi card has no support on Linux, neither does my Gamesir Xbox controller specifically, even with Xboxdrv and extras installed. Objectively speaking, Windows is best for everything except optimisation. MacOS has the best optimisation and security, while Linux isn't "optimised" it's just lightweight. Even Windows Vista is lightweight by todays standards. Linux is best for developers, which is fine, but it means that Linux will always have a niche appeal. And the community here is toxic, if you can't figure something out on your own, you're not going to figure it out full stop. The community on linux complains that Linux is a niche, yet chases away newcomers the second they try to join because they'd rather feel superior than help someone out.

A racebaiting jerk was being racist and fired for it, then claimed "they fired me because I am white" when in actuality nearly all of IBM and Redhat was white so of course most of the layed off/fired people were white.
