In the release blog they mentioned working on appimage. Right now they are only using it for testing purposes and it should be compatbible with Debian. But there is no "official" distribution as of now.

Are you using the rpm-fusion mesa drivers or Fedora's (assuming you use Intel / AMD card)?

You can connect to wifi via tty using nmcli command: nmcli --ask dev wifi connect CoolNetwork123

GIMP supports JPEG XL natively in 3.0 development versions. If I remember correctly GIMP 2.10 was released before JPEG-XL was ready, so I think that's the reason. They could have added support in smaller update though, which was the case with AVIF.

I'm missing a good GUI to manage SELinux. It is probably because I don't know how to handle it but I hate this thing with passion.

My friend needed to reinstall Windows because it broke after the update, and he is using a ~5-year old PC with an SSD. Windows can sometimes break, even if you are not messing with debloating scripts and etc. It was and it will always be the case. But Linux can unexpectedly break itself too. I suppose it can be the case with MacOS too.

The more important thing for me is the possible options for troubleshooting and, if the situation is really bad, how fast can you reinstall the system to have a fully operational PC again. And in that case, Linux wins, because even if it is harder to troubleshoot, it's very often possible to just insert some commands, where on Windows, most of the time, the best solution is to reinstall the whole OS. And even reinstallation is faster on Linux. It's even faster if you have /home on a separate partition.

The problem is, for the current Arc achitecture (DG2), the officially supported driver is the old i915. Xe will always be 'experimental' and it won't have media encoding capabilities because Intel said it's "too hard to implement for DG2". It's better to wait for the Battlemage / DG3 graphics cards so you can use better Xe driver that can also handle media encoding and decoding.

As for the raw performance on the i915. It's terrible. Most of the games that I was testing work better on my RX 6600 than Arc A750. The only positive thing I can tell about this card is that it performed really well in terms of stability on Wayland, and a really great video encoding efficiency.

I really don't understand this. We want to block them now, because they will block us later and this will kill Fediverse. I don't see a point really. Wouldn't blocking them kill Fedi even faster? As far as I know, Lemmy is slowly losing it's users. Letting them in will only strengthen Fediverse.

Last time I checked XMPP and e-mails are working just fine. I don't know what you mean. How exactly Meta will kill Fedi?

If you think you need to learn commands to open a folder you didn't use Linux for the past 20 years. Most things are done now via a graphical environment such as Plasma or GNOME. It's the more advanced things such as managing system services that are done via a terminal. But normal user really doesn't have to do these kind of things for normal desktop use.

Both should be possible. I am using the psuedo 2FA method. First I type the PIN and after that I confirm with YubiKey.
