I’ll be curious to see benchmarks of PREEMPT_NONE vs rseq once PostgreSQL patches this

It’s an awesome way to discover

discover

I see what you did there

Yeah but it’s harder when something else is incompatible, like WiFi on a laptop, or Ethernet on a desktop. Not so easy to update the kernel without internet. I wonder if it would be possible for the installer to include multiple versions of the kernel to choose from.

I haven’t tried Bazaar

Seems like Steamdeck 2 will probably be ARM. Maybe Steamdeck 10 will be RISC-V lol

This is why I think Kubuntu is a better suggestion than Ubuntu, and also Discover is better than the Ubuntu Software Center anyways and it makes it easy to avoid Snaps.

I think it might give you problems if you try to install it on brand new hardware though, because Mint uses an older kernel by default

Also use Lutris to easily test multiple distros

I don’t think Bazzite is that far behind, it’s not LTS

The Chinese New Year screwed up the stats for last month which makes this month look like a bigger jump than it really is

I made a rough trendline from Win10 EoL

You can also look at the bottom of the website where it focuses specifically on English users. It’s 8.27% to 11.28%, still a big jump but nowhere near doubling.

If you add a rough trendline since Win10 EoL then 5% is pretty reasonable

Last month had Chinese New Year in it, and apparently China isn’t big on Linux

Last month was 2.23%, but the only reason why it was so low was because of the Chinese New Year

Might be the new beta for the 64 bit Steam client

No more Chinese New Year, back to year of Linux!

Should we be suggesting Catodon/Sharkey/Misskey over Mastodon for new users?

Kubuntu uses Discover instead of the Ubuntu App Center

It’s really easy to avoid Snaps

pretty sure PieFed is easier to host
