  • Linux is so very predictably stable from a desktop user perspective . It is an absolute pleasure to use , particularly when combined with TUI applications like yazi, lsd, fzf , neovim etc

    Been using it since the early nineties .

    At work I use Windows Server 2025 as my desktop ( the alternative would be the dreadful AI infested Windows 11).

    While Windows Server 2025 is not dreadful , the Linux experience is so much nicer .

  • What about this is more interesting than the LWN coverage?

  • I clicked this one with no hype. I am now exited to update the kernel of my raspberry pi 4.

  • Okay, so ELI 5 why I would now use HDMI instead of DP?

    All my monitors support DP, my GPU has more ports for DP ...

    I am genuinely interested as I've never even considered using HDMI for my Desktop.

  • Who is the main audience for this type of content? Genuinely curious because I am not a serious Linux user.

    What type of info do you get out of this for those who read this? So i can glance your insight?

  • I just want them to make memory management sane. Is that too much to ask? OOM shouldn't cause a hard reboot.

    Ok actually I "solved" this by upgrading to 128GB of RAM (before the rampocalypse), but still they should fix it.

  • Does anyone understand how HDMI 2.1 support is now no problem? I remember that 2.1 support in AMD's open source driver was blocked by the HDMI forum, but I haven't heard any news about them unblocking it. What changed?

  • It is funny with Linux (the kernel). From the outside it looks like almost nothing ever changes. You switch the computer on, it works away in the background to bring up the desktop and have everything talk. From that perspective it feels like nothing has changed in decades.

    But then you look at the change log, and almost everything you see added sounds really useful to someone working on this stuff. 35 years of work on this and there is still so much to be done even if you most people using it never directly feel it.
