They were using Proton, so most likely X11 as their windowing system. I’m guessing they were using the default distro kernels as of November 15, 2023 (when they ran the benchmark), but I don’t think the article said for sure.

I found the original study in the article, it’s in German. Here it is (Linux Gaming: Test Results and Conclusion), it looks like most Linux distros have worse lows and frame times than Windows 11, other than Arch Linux which seems to be a tossup.
Death is actually very expensive, it’s just not the dead person that foots the bill.
Depends on the beans. Some taste really good on their own, others are very bland.
Fully agreed. Stuff like, you have to work for the government park corp and clean up parks as your job for the next year is a form of sentencing I could agree with. I don’t agree with random company 400 getting to use you as a slave being your sentence.
I think people are allowed to say that slavery is bad even if we benefit from slave labor. It’s not like shit is labeled, and even if a product is free from one form of slavery there are still so many types across the world it would take a global effort to get rid of them all. Isn’t it better to at least acknowledge the problem?
Repealing that act should be one of the largest priorities of leftists in the United States. I wish people talked about it more.
I’m glad to hear it, this will make the mobile version much more usable.
:P can also be more neutral than happy at times, which is a nuance that the emoji lacks.
That’s a really cool script. Does it work for posts/comments that haven’t federated to your instance yet?
I also hope that they continue to be able to use that tool, but at this point, it’s clear to me that it would be wise to start learning new tools. For me, it’s not just that the company has made a mistake, but that the mistake was a repeat of a mistake they made back in 2019, which indicates that they may well do it again.
It probably used some weird webview shit they routed through Edge, so when you uninstalled it the entire system broke.
Politics are as subjective as the right to privacy. There isn’t a hard logical truth to it, it’s what people think is moral. Considering that, and considering that right-wing billionaires aren’t known for being friendly to privacy, I think it’s fine to bring politics into this discussion.
Here’s a Reddit post with some people talking about Linux distros if you want to see some additional opinions: link. Manjaro with KDE is a good option as well I’d like to add, my personal recommendation is to install a Linux partition separate from Windows and ease into it, if you enjoy the experience you’ll find yourself using the Windows partition less and less until you are able to finally delete it.
Indeed, the process has really been streamlined. The configs and additional stuff from the olden days still exist, but they’re configured really well by default and someone would only ever need to touch them to try and eke out as much performance as possible.
I’m glad that Germany is doing this. Marijuana is better for you than tobacco and no worse than alcohol, people should have the legal ability to decide whether or not they want to use it.
Hopefully, when Ukraine retakes the occupied oblasts, they’ll either deport or reimprison this guy.
Do you have a source for that? I can’t find anything.
The company said that it will still have opt-out controls in “select countries” without specifying which ones.
I’m guessing that’s how they plan to get around that. They will leave the toggle enabled for people registered in EU countries, and disable it everywhere else. A fairly risky way to handle it in my opinion.
There isn’t always a catch. Governance is often based on compromise and corruption runs rampant, so often there will be shitty things thrown in to appease corporate donors and conservative politicians, but sometimes the government just does something good without also doing something bad.
