    Because code is invisible to the end user while art is right in their face.

    Yes, I think the only somewhat big distro that still has x86 support is Gentoo.

    OpenBSD removed the Bluetooth support they had due to security reasons.

    Both are needed for different use cases. That they overlap for some use cases doesn't make them redundant.

    NetBSD even supports installing from floppies on old systems if you don´t have a CD-ROM drive.

    I´m using NetBSD on a couple of x86 machines now that Linux distros have mostly dropped support for them.

    > gcc(1) - updated to 12.5.0. Anyone know why they are still on such an old version? The latest version is 16.1.

    Putting a '>' would make it look like it's a quote from the article, which it isn't.

    Even if they wanted to forbid that, how would they even detect it?

    The blog post did mention license laundering, which is one of the copyright issues with LLMs.

    As it should.

    Zswap is better than ZRAM for this use case. ZRAM is only really interesting in situations where you don't want any swap to disk, like when running on an SD card or something.

    Mint is too big for something like this. You should go for something lighter weight like Alpine or NetBSD.

    I'm not sure about their methodology. They looked at the global chart, but did they take into account that the Steam Machine isn't available everywhere? It's also a single point in…

    No, it's a more powerful version.

    But PC parts are also getting more expensive, so the difference is still there.

    The PC is worse in this regard since everyone's hardware is different. There's rarely much optimization going into PC games compared to consoles.

    Not a fair comparison because it only implements a small subset of the GNU ls functionality.

    Law is not immutable. It will be changed if/when there is a need to.

    That's outdated information. Most PS5 and the equivalent Xbox games target 60 fps nowadays. It's usually huge news when a game is only 30 fps.

    They were most likely taught it badly.
