Sounds like someone needs garbage in their front yard

Unless you copy and paste. In which case just stab yourself in the eye of you are using tmux.

If you already use pop with the cosmic plugin, it’s going to be a better version of that. If you use something else then I’m not sure why youd care tbh.

Maybe I don’t keep my finger on the pulse of this stuff the way I should, but what’s the main benefit of 24.04? Pop updates the kernel and packages already. The main benefit we would get is newer gnome which… obviously isnt a development priority for them since it’s going away.

What are we missing out on?

It could take that long. I was wondering if Ubuntu is 24.10 /25.04, 25.10, and 26.04 if pop will align their alpha2, beta, and official release with the Ubuntu release schedule.

I know they said something about a yearly release cadence for cosmic but I’m sure that’s once it’s officially in production.

That said, as far as an alpha goes, it’s much more polished than a typical alpha. The path from here to beta might be faster than we think.

Pop devs never shied away from releasing with non LTS releases though and since one of their main pain points with releases was always gnome + cosmic plugins I’m not sure how their dependency on Ubuntu releases is affected.

I was super nervous for cosmic because I love pop. I didn’t want them to bungle it and force me to distro hop. The alpha made me way less nervous and much more excited.

Whatever they do, whenever they release, I just hope they get it right! Small bugs are fine but major crashes would make me very sad.

I switched from Nvidia for amd for the same reason: “and is better on Linux”.

In my experience you are just making different tradeoffs. I use pop so your mileage may vary but Nvidia was easy to use and upgrade. It’s not nearly as bad as people let on.

AMD on the other hand isn’t as seamless as people let on. And the open source drivers, while awesome, don’t let you take advantage of the codecs for video streaming or even alot of the AI ML stuff, so you switch to the proprietary drivers and they are slightly buggy.

I wish I kept my 3070ti over the 6900xt.

Unless they figure out a way to let me use av1 or rocm more easily then my next card will be Nvidia again.

My thoughts on it are: as a developer, if you flag the issue for your management, and they want to move forward, then you’ve done your part.

Maybe put an extra comment in the code for posterity’s sake.

It’s not ultimately your problem and what else are you going to do? Work unpaid nights and weekends to fix it for some guy who might run into a problem 8 years from now?

And roll it out in a controlled fashion: 1% of machines, 10%, 25%…no issues? Do the rest.

How this didn’t get caught by testing seems impossible to me.

The implementation/rollout strategy just seems bonkers. I feel bad for all of the field support guys who have had there next few weeks ruined, the sys admins who won’t sleep for 3 days, and all of the innocent businesses that got roped into it.

A couple local shops are fucked this morning. Kinda shocked they’d be running crowd strike but also these aren’t big businesses. They are probably using managed service providers who are now swamped and who know when they’ll get back online.

One was a bakery. They couldn’t sell all the bread they made this morning.

How does zellij do copy and paste? That’s the only thing keeping me from diving into tmux (beyond using it as a persistent terminal).

He didn’t. He wanted freax or something dumb. Someone talked him into Linux.

You know what makes my Linux distribution perfect? My windows partition that I can switch to quickly.

And green. All associated with the more popular variants pfsense, opnsense, truenas, and freebsd.

Data truly is beautiful

I can’t tell if ops joke is “intentionally confusing buffers with registers” and everyone is playing along or if people aren’t making the distinction between the two in this thread.

Which is ironic and humorous…potentially by accident.

Unless it’s the newest of new Nvidia GTX cards, it’s generally a wash.

You tradeoff issues from one to the other.

I had a 3070ti that I “upgraded” to a 6900xt and I kind of regretted it. I fell for the AMD is king on Linux hype.

Nvidia is way better than people let on and AMD isn’t nearly as great as people let on.

That’s my two cents.

Probably have a porn and PC game filter to thank for my career in IT

Wait so people got butthurt that a company made a deal with nix. That company also does business with ICE. And people are mad at Nix?

What am I missing?

Also companies and open source entities do business with all manner of government(s) all the time.

Zero trust has entered the chat

Why not both?

Let’s say MS charges $5M a year.

Their support contract, assuming they get one, for libre office might be $1M.

They could still invest another $1M in OSS and still save $3M

A $1M net gain for OSS and a $3M savings for the govt.

Assume yes until you can prove otherwise.
