Who’re “we”…?

Really hard to imagine that they won’t milk the shit out of it. Edit: First thing I saw checking on Reddit was a repost of a Tony Hawk photo and comments claiming the anniversary being today. Totally not marketing.

That’s literally not what happened. lol And what could they do? Maybe ban the trolls? One of them even had a freaking Gadaffi avatar. Hiding your shameful display of a community is also incredibly bad behavior and what ultimately was the final nail in the coffin for my decision to move away from EOS.

Punishing the person seeking help while doing jack shit to the people insulting & trolling while hiding the whole thing so others can’t see is certainly not how I want to see the moderation job to be done. But if you want to circlejerk with toxic trolls, then go right ahead.

They were at least still able to write in other places. And given that experience I of course did not follow up with another thread, just to experience the same thing.

The link lists a bunch of things that did happen, along with the thing on partial upgrades, which is guidance on the Arch wiki.

It lists a bunch of inconsequential things when it comes to the distro. The worst were the pamac DDOSing incidents. The SSL certificates of their websites I really don’t give a damn about but people then keep saying “yeah but if they are sloppy there then…”, without being able to provide examples where the distro was ever affected by it. They also keep arguing about the packaging on the AUR potentially being newer than the ones in Manjaro and thus potentially causing breakage, which is a weak argument - especially with how sloppily a lot of AUR packages are maintained. And if you’re super paranoid, just update the AUR when Manjaro updates.

Overall, hating on it feels like it became more of a meme with little substance, fueled by the general entitlement and elitism within the Linux community regarding their favorite distros.

RX 6650 XT. And no, all RDNA 2 cards support ROCm. I literally had it running on my previous distro. Was a pain to install with all its dependencies and building the tools properly, since you often had to specify the model, but it was doable. On Bazzite it just seems impossible for me.

Until you reach the part where you want to partition and encrypt your drives.

Garbage distro with a garbage community.

Manjaro worked without issues for me for about 2 years, unlike EOS which broke within less than half a year and their forum is the most unhelpful and toxic clown show I’ve ever seen as they just insulted me to the point where the admins closed the thread and said I should make a new one if I still need help - hiding it in the process so it won’t get indexed and shine a bad light on them. So I find the Manjaro hate very unwarranted and it seems to get way more hate than it deserves. Most of it is just a bunch of “what if” scenarios that never happened.

Huh? ROCm is not working for me at all so far. I’ve tried to get it to work with Koboldcpp (which I have to build in a distrobox for it to even run, but then it only runs in software / cpu mode), tried LM Studio (which is easy to install, but again, no ROCm / gpu support detected), and I tried Krita’s diffusion implementation (again, only cpu working). This and the fact that I can’t get Mullvad to run are my biggest pet peeves so far.

Ironically, I decided to try it, despite my already existing skepticism beforehand, because TimeShift managed to break my post update broken system even further to the point where I couldn’t figure out if it is even salvageable (definitely not for me though). I can’t go back to Windows but I also still have not really found a good distro for me yet.

Arch.

I would not recommend Bazzite to anyone who already complains about software tinkering in regular distros. Immutable distros are very much incompatible with a lot of shit - basically almost anything that is not in their regular repos or on Flathub, and it is an absolute pain in the ass to get those type of applications running on it.

No, like a duck.

I wasn’t talking about something like an AI in Pong. But if your definition of “AI” is conditionals such as if statements, then absolutely everything is an AI, which honestly just further muddles the meaning of that term.

Yeah but you think a lot of weird things, so that does not surprise me in the slightest.

I’m thinking of something that actually processes some form of “thought”, in the abstract sense. Even video game AI does that to an extend (granted, there’s various techniques depending on the game type), so the term here is actually somewhat appropriate. LLMs don’t do that at all though, they’re just word guessing based on the texts they were trained upon (while we stick with text gen here at least) and that just so happens to sound like somewhat coherent sentences that can fool someone into thinking that their computer actually talked to them. There never was any sort of thought behind that though. It functions closer to how your mobile keyboard predicts the next word you want to use in its suggestions at the top. It just tries to complete the text it was already presented with. A lot of the illusion here comes actually from the tools used to display this information in a chat like manner, but that’s just frontend foolery for the user.

In before is not just skips important details in its summarization, but also hallucinates its own interpretation of things into it.

Generally, don’t call it “AI”, don’t overhype it, don’t use it where it is bad in its function (like telling you “facts”), don’t shove it into everything. I bet 80+ percent of all “AI” energy consumption is wasted on completely useless and moronic tasks that have 0 value even on a personal level.

I swear I’ve read this exact headline a year or so ago already.
