From what I remember, it’s much more difficult to accidentally leak memory in Rust. Combined with the drop-in compatibility with C and the somewhat more intuitive (imo) syntax, I can see its popularity as unsurprising.

I think the biggest thing is that there aren’t really that many reasons not to use Rust.

Well one of those options affected my ability to connect to my monitor. The issue was not resolved though, and I don’t feel like clearing my cmos again to see which setting exactly caused the monitor issue.

None of the settings have worked, but I did find 2 interesting settings hanging out in bios.

Would either changing the South Bridge speed or turning on the Compatibility Support Module (CSM) do anything?

I took a short look, but all the slots were on auto. My options were all pcie gen 1, 2, 3, or 4. My motherboard is an ASUS TUF Gaming X570 Plus Wifi, and I’m not really sure if the 2 M.2 slots eat my 2 PCIE x1 slots or not.

6.13.1-arch1-1 for x86_64

The firmware package is the upd72020x-fw (AUR only) package which is required by the mkinitcpio-firmware package. I have tried reinstalling both packages using both pacman and paru in case one gave extra errors.

Should be the most recent given that I run a recently updated Arch installation.

My Arch system stays on until a firmware package needs an update. Then i cry and scream bc it’s only been a month since the last one. Also I just updated a bunch of those, so my system has not been on long.

My issue is that I can never remember “a couple more commands” for the life of me. And I use Arch BTW, so the likelihood of me needing those is a bit higher than usual.

He can be an asshole, but I believe finding bugs is part of his job.

Would you rather have him find them and complain to a community who might know what they could be, or someone else who will just complain and buy a MacBook instead?

It’s definitely great for the mainstream. Think of Linus Sebastian who has somehow broken every OS except for SteamOS.

It’s not great for me who uses Arch Linux btw with the expectation that if the system doesn’t break on its own, then I will break it myself.

If you’re running an Nvidia gpu, then Linux Mint is great for not needing to deal with setup issues.

If you’re going with an AMD gpu or no gpu at all, then i actually recommend Garuda Linux. It’s Arch-based so you may need to keep up with the updates more often. But you’ll get access to the AUR, a centralized* repository for just about every program you’ll need to install. I personally find it and pacman easier to use than apt.

What spec of laptop are you thinking of getting?

I kinda wanna try Gentoo just for the experience, but as someone who already uses Arch, I’m worried it will take up more of my time than my current setup already does.

I use Ardour. It looks pretty complicated to use at first glance, but everything you would need is there in one of the four modes in the top right corner.

I’ve tried Reaper for the plugins and the generally good reputation, but I couldn’t understand the empty interface whatsoever.

I pirate old stuff and overpriced stuff permanently. I refuse to pay an ebay seller $200 for an old GameCube game and I refuse to pay $700 dollars for all the Sims 4 dlc. You may also catch me pirating movies and shows as I strongly dislike subscription models.

I usually have lucid dreams in the third person where I’m not a character in the story. I instead control the other characters like in a video game and I can save scum to get a particularly hard to achieve outcome. Usually, I like to let events pan out by themselves though, as that leads to the most interesting results.

I like Vsauce, but YouTube just never recommends his videos to me. Same with all the others except for Veritasium. I just haven’t seen enough of their content and schedule.

Never really watched him much since I was more into minecraft content when I was younger, but I’ll take another look at the channel.

That’s understandable. When I first saw The Linux Experiment, he felt almost like a 3D render rather than a real human being. Gamers Nexus can get pretty passive aggressive.

You can do that, but if you don’t want 20 different accounts, I would recommend signing up to just one. Lemmy and any other federated social media system should push posts from other servers to your feed depending on what servers are in region.
