NVK is great overall, for gaming eeeeh, no, sadly. I think it's getting improvements for vulkan gaming

But 555 beta is already much better than 550 on wayland

Stremio uploads/seeds just when you're watching the movie, and usually with a very small cache. On a 20gb movie maybe you seed 200-300mb, which isn't anything substantial

There was no sync at all in the last drivers, now we have good sync, it should be nice smooth experience once everything updates

You now have a chance to follow some of their independent blogs, support them that way, fuck all this big companies, they are laying of everyone for ai

There is if you intend to keep torrents alive.

Reading 100% feels better, seeing tiny icons/logos without it being a pixelated mess is also good, and video looks much crisper, same goes for videogames, and the performance hit from 1080 to 1440 isn't bad at all.

It's honestly sad, almost to the point where defederating from them would be better

But I'm sure we'd be loosing good people from hexbear too

Is your statement true? Probably

But if we set our standards to "enough", there wouldn't be any progress

Was the switch enough for couch gamers? Sure. Did valve want to progress further? They did.

Some will use the built in note editor, some the built in music player, some the built in video player, and now some will use matrix

Mint isn't overly bloated, or even "bloated", these apps are useful for a decent part of the demographic, and having them preinstalled lowers the friction a new user feels when installing a new OS

Gnome isn't bad, at all. The team has caused controversy and made mistakes, but gnome's experience is great.

Talking about ubuntu, snaps suck, and it is more "bloated" than what you'd expect, but still, ubuntu isn't half bad. Is mint better for what the ubuntu audience wants? Yes. Does ubuntu still work well? Yes

And ubuntu server rocks

Ubuntu 100%, if you count how many distros are ubuntu based (and collaterally debian based), but I believe it is the most used one even if you only count official ubuntu releases

Maybe arch would be quite high, if you count the steamdeck as desktop (maybe), and the big increase on arch users in the past couple of years (wen't from being rare to 1 in 3 users saying "I use arch btw")

Fedora 40 with kde plasma 6 dropped a day or two ago, and they did remove x11, you have to get it from the repo in case you want it, otherwise, it only comes and is planned for wayland, which I believe is great, for once it does seem like the year of wayland
