I know you’re trolling but I had to look it up:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercomputer_operating_system#/media/File:Operating_systems_used_on_top_500_supercomputers.svg

Small correction: pic says web 2, alt-txt says web. Not sure if the Fediverse etc. counts as web2 though. Was crpytoscams web3? Maybe we could be web4 (or 42) 😸 then.

(The real alternative to YT would be https://joinpeertube.org/ though.)

It’s an application you run on your (home)server that downloads YouTube channels (and new videos), it archives what is of interest on YT for you (in case stuff gets deleted taken down). I prefer

https://github.com/kieraneglin/pinchflat

which does the same thing.

So what are you using on the desktop and how long have you been using it? I’ve switched to Linux / open source software a year ago and especially learning programs (design / media tools in my case) was super painful for some time. But I had the motivation of not wanting to use an OS that tries to spy on me and getting away from a super shady monopolist (Adobe) as a motivator that kept me going. Sure there are still some things that get on my nerves but those exist in Microsoft’s (and Apple’s) and Adobe’s products as well.

I guess you have checked out Krita? I like it a lot.

Ooops, yes, sorry, Eevee is Blender’s real time renderer (like a game engine) that fakes fakes a lot of stuff while Cycles is the classic “physics-based” renderer. I heard that it took under a minute to Render a frame which is absurd for movie quality. But it makes sense since the look is kinda stylized (only noticed in the cinema that characters are kinda cell shaded) but it still looks so good, the lightning, fog, water, bloom, dephth of field, wow. Was really worth it watching on the big screen. Story is a bit weird but loved the characters and their interactions.

Just saw Flow at the cinema, I can’t believe they rendered this all in Eeevee, wth!

Yeah, I think it depends on how the distro decides to implement it, can’t remember now but I think e. g. in Fedora KDE you need to tick a box somewhere in Discover’s (KDE’s updater) settings (and then it’s Fedora’s own Flatpak repo?). In Bazzite which I’m using atm it’s Flatpaks all the way down anyway 😸

It’s also quite nice in KDE that you can do Flatpak permissions etc in System Settings.

Not sure where this is going but I’ve heard that crabs are actually only turning red when they’re dead and cooked (something, something capitalism?)

It’s interesting and kinda cool that you can’t tell what distro it’s running on when using Flatpak. I would have thought that there’s some way to find out (it would be important for fixing bugs, I guess?)

Yay for deer keeping Scotland a barren wasteland when it could be a luscious forest 👌

Ah, yes, “Flatpak”, my favourite distro 😸

Have been on Walyand for a year now, no problems except for a weird big in Inscape so thst runs in X11 mode.

That’s the (vomit-inducing) beauty of it: capitalist pigs made something useful to you that is build on poor people’s work, makes these people jobless, burns the planet and the rich (probably fascist) white dudes even richer (you’re also paying woth your sweet, sweet data, which is another plus in their book). So its nice for you and bad in about all other aspects.

+1 for Bazzite. Atomic distro + NVDIA drivers included 👌

Yeah, it works amazingly well, too. I’ve been rebasing between Bazzite and Kinoite a number of times in the last months (because Bazzite had some problems recognizing my drawing tablet which has been fixed now) without issue.
