  • Yeah, nah. It’s not like in Scandinavia where half the dialects lost the feminine and half the others look at you like you killed their mother for saying “en bok”.

    Most French “dialects” vary mostly in prononciation and a few regional words or expressions. Partly because French is a heavily regulated language, and partly because most dialects are relatively recent anyway. In the early 20th century the central government erased all regional languages and forced standard French on all society.


  • Seconded. I recently moved my gaming rig from Nobara to Bazzite because this machine is only occasionally booted, and I don’t want to spend the little time I have available for gaming doing maintenance instead. Except from a mounting error for my secondary drive that I made (bc after 20+ years on Linux I still can’t be arsed enough to learn how to fstab), I was in Cyberpunk 2077 in less than 5 minutes.

    Pros:

    • Easy setup, everything works out of the box
    • A lot of preinstalled gaming-related packages and tweaks, plus a lot of QOL improvements over Silverblue/Kinoite
    • Ready to game as soon as it’s installed
    • No updates, no maintenance! Full system images are downloaded and installed in the background and are applied at reboot.
    • Immutable so “impossible” to fuck up.
    • uBlue projects are not distros but a delivery system, all the work is actually done by Fedora. No risk associated with a single-maintainer project like Nobara.

    Cons:

    • Immutable so “impossible” to fuck up.

    Pro tip: don’t keep your Steam games on a Windows partition. They won’t launch.









  • It wouldn’t be insane, but it wouldn’t be advisable as a long term solution. USB-C charging ports invariably fail, mostly because of mechanical stresses. And when they do, it’s much more sensible to replace a 10€ expansion card than the entire mobo (or the entire laptop for the competitors).

    Besides, you don’t buy a FWL if you’re strapped on cash. You buy it as a gamble on the future to reduce your e-waste while keeping relevant. Plus, there are smarter ways to reduce cost, like buying your ram and ssd elsewhere.
