  • I know I’m a downer sometimes, but those

    “Roll to shake hands with the captain of the guard. [Nat 1] You slap him in the face. You’re all arrested”

    annoy me to no end. The point of rolling is to simulate the possibility of failure for difficult tasks, not for everything you ever do


  • Not a whole lot of experience distro-hopping here (went from Ubuntu to Endeavour and haven’t really changed since) but from what I know it seems like most distros have their place. Arch is highly customisable and all rolling release distros are good for gamers and those who need the latest software. Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, and other LTS distros are good for servers and newcomers (fewer big updates and therefore fewer potential crises)

    For the sake of answering the question, I’d say Ubuntu is my least favourite. Its pretty bloated, and then there’s the whole snap fiasco










  • Not an expert, but to me it sounds like the issue is that “on demand” uses the iGPU for regular desktop parts and calls for the dGPU when you switch to something requiring more horsepower

    The problem with this might be that the execution of this is slow and there’s a few seconds between the iGPU switching off and the dGPU switching on
