My first Linux distro was Ubuntu 8.04 in 2008. Ubuntu helped me get into Linux. I’m very grateful about that.

However, Ubuntu is no longer a desktop-friendly distro. I hopped around a bit and settled eventually on Arch. Here are some of the things I don’t like:

• Ubuntu software repos ship ancient software. You have to live with issues that were solved years ago.
• Ubuntu kernels are also old and have issues with recent laptops…
• Ubuntu was stupid to push snap on everyone. Flatpaks are much better.

I think Ubuntu is a great distro for cloud servers, and they are heavily optimizing for that use case. But it’s meh for laptops.

Visual Studio is a relic of the past. Does anyone still use it?

I think it’s less Proton, more Vulkan/DXVK. Proton is just wrapping these amazing things. Before DXVK, games in Linux used to suck big time.

Vulkan is absolutely amazing. It also runs LLMs these days almost as well as CUDA.

I don’t recommend buying a discrete GPU. For home-level hardware iGPU systems like Strix Halo are much better than discrete systems. For example Strix Halo can run models that you need multiple 5090s for.

Hah! They nailed the right tone :)

As a Turkish dude, I’m proud of our neighbours. Good job komşu!

Israel is a genocidal nation of permanent war. They worship death.

Before all this I had never heard of Bob Vylan. But now I’ll buy a few of his songs online. He seems like a good chap.

Well, Superman is an illegal immigrant. I don’t think they have a US consulate in Kypton.

As a Turk, this makes me proud of our komşu!

They sell configurable computers, which I love a lot. I have been a long-time customer and very happy.

The New York Times is complicit in genocide.

Chinese jets did very well for Pakistan in their most recent war with India. If Iran gets some of those, then Israel is in big trouble.

You know someone is a good person when the WSJ publishes an article attacking them.
