They put in the absolute minimum amount of resources for it.
It’s also littered with bugs as the ZLUDA project has noted

Who would’ve thunk that big, for profit, tech companies don’t care about us :T
Kinda, we’re all a little confused here.
uBlock will stop websites from tracking you.
uBlock will not stop your browser from tracking you
Modem hardware.
The default kernel Mint has installed isn’t new enough to support cards like the 7900 XT. Though this can be fixed by updating the kernel using Mint’s kernel version utility
*I get a kick from not having any professional workloads that require GPU compute
Fixed that for you.
As long as the drive the swap is on is an SSD, yeah absolutely
Nah, it’s because $400 for a GPU enclosure is insane, at that rate I can just get the mid-range GPU built in with the regular price of the laptop
Correction: modern C++ is pretty sweet.
Chances are if you’re working on C++ in a professional setting it’s not modern C++ :(
TL;DR, ddosing AUR multiple times, poorly maintained certificates, and a generally bad take on Arch that causes lots of problems for the uninitiated.
To temper your expectations you’ll likely have some problems. But you’ll have the ability in future to make use of new display technologies, like VRR and HDR
Borrow checker intensifies
The problem is it’s completely unwatchable. Streams are 2 fps no matter how low or high quality you set the stream :c
You mean Web3? Yeah Web3 is going to do jack shit to solve this, if anything it’ll make it worse
I agree, endeavor doesn’t do anything special with its packages to make it any more reliable. In fact it’s really just Arch but with a DE setup out of the box
Tried this myself, performance differences are non existent. In fact I noticed more regressions on speedometer than improvements.
Don’t bother, use Floorp instead.
Just hold your breath silly
This, you should always default to your package manager for app installs. I believe it’s available on their Ubuntu repos
Linux mint is a really easy and simple starting point. Fedora and openSUSE tumbleweed are a tad more advanced but allow more selection on your desktop environment (mint uses cinnamon, while Fedora and SUSE have both KDE and Gnome options) and thus can potentially support things like variable refresh rate and, when it gets support from KDE later this year, HDR.
For peripherals, if it’s razor or Logitech, it’ll just work and have community apps made to configure them. I personally like Keychron’s stuff so that’s what I use and that’s fully Linux compatible, it does require some setup to work though. HDR is unsupported for the time being, but variable refresh (gsync/freesync) is in the KDE Plasma desktop environment under Wayland. On the topic of Wayland, if you want to make use of this new display protocol you’ll need an AMD graphics card, as NVIDIA has been slacking with their Linux drivers. NVIDIA is getting better but it’s not stable enough on Wayland for the laymen. In the case of only having an NVIDIA, X11 works fine, but it’s just missing some features.
Also you won’t need JavaScript, 90% of what you do will be through the GUI (depending on the distro), especially once you’re set up. I know Fedora needs to enable rpmFusion, NVIDIA repos if on NVIDIA, and install codecs for hardware accelerated playback. Mint doesn’t have these issues for the most part, though you’ll want to enable flatpak’s and consider disabling snaps. Mint already includes a graphical installer for NVIDIA and includes the codecs needed for hardware accelerated playback
I also like hearing good news about Linux. With how negative social media can be hearing some good news, especially about something I like is just a generally nice change of pace.
