We careful with wine/similar Wine and similar does let you run a lot of windows software but of course that also includes a lot of malware. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3fSnHTJdR0 Currently i am configuring an apparmor profile in an attempt to reduce the potential damage that malware can...

Linux provides people with a false sense of security One common security measure linux users tend to use is to require sudo to edit system files. That is indeed something good but there is a small problem. Often the actual things of importance for people is things in the home folder but that...

6600 MT/s seemingly stable with 2200 FLCK and 3300 UCLK The holy grain on AM5 is getting MCLK = FLCK = 3/2 FLCK = 3300 Mhz ChrisG82 may have actually gotten that properly stable (passed 40 hours of stresstesting) https://www.overclock.net/posts/29566188/ Hey all, hope you're all well. iv'e...

6400 CL30 with very low latency in aida64 (AMD) This looks pretty good and was achieved by P.O.N. I don't know how reliable that ram test is though

Linux distribution tier list Of course i didn't bother testing most of these since most are not worthy of my time to begin with https://tiermaker.com/list/technology/linux-distributions-by-titus-15917706/6199890 Supreme: Arch Linux Awesome for beginners: EndeavourOS, CachyOS, Garuda Linux Best...

Examples of distributions that seem good Arch Linux: i have been using it for years and i honestly foud it easier to manage and much better than the first distro i tried (linux mint). It got noteriety due to supposedely being hard to install (hyped out as much harder than it actually was) but...

Intalling linux I would recommend to use a separate SSD to install linux on and disconnect all other drives to make sure you do not accidentally eraze any important data. There is also a security risk (with regard to your linux install) if you keep the SSD with linux installed connected while...

I have noticed that a lot of overclockers boot to windows to test new overclocks and do stresstesting which often results in windows being corrupted to the point where a new installation is the only way to actually fix those problems. But we are now at the point where you can do very throught...

The notion that people should start with noob distros before switching to something more advanced Honestly it's nonsense and makes no sense. If there is some distro you want to learn you should start with that and not something else. So if you want to use Arch Linux you install Arch Linux...

CachyOS might be the best option even for beginners And because it's based on Arch Linux you can really go hardcore with it once you have developed the necessary skills to do so.Seems like a very good way to get set up with a nice Arch Linux (based) system...

CachyOS benchmarks It might be that it mainly provides a performance uplift over other distros in very CPU limited scenarios. Here it barely lost to windows 11 while beating Bazzite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyYB6H4-ohc CachyOS did however manage to beat windows 11 iot LTSC in a...

Ubuntu keeps getting worse The user experience keeps getting worse due to stupid decision after stupid decision. How is that easier than pacman -S firefox ? There has also been a lot of problems with malware being uploaded to the snap store in large part due to canonical not having proper...

Linux isn't nearly as fragmented as you think Something you will notice when you look at the actual distributions people are using is that almost all of them belong are downstream from just 3 projects and that these projects also happen to have a lot in common. Debian based distros: tends to be...

The real issues with Arch Linux People often paint it as some difficult to install/use distribution but it really isn't. Manual installation used to filter out retards and people lacking in motivation but later they made it fairly easy via "archinstall"...

Why debian (and all distributions based on it) is a giant sinking ship Recently debian elected a new leader that would focus on excluding "cis males" instead of focusing on the actual quality of the code and not having people run outdated packages. That is obviously a big bad sign but even if...

Why linux mint isn't something i recommend to people It might seem like a user friendly option. I do remember starting on it myself but what i noticed was that while it had a user interface and software that was supposed to make it easy to use it simply wasn't since you would run into issues...

Proper memory testing may have finally come to linux for 4.50€ a month I remember complaining earlier about linux not having proper software for stresstesting your ram meaning that unless you boot to windows to confirm stability. Unstable ram can cause nasty issues such as freezes, data...

Gaming on linux is still bad and proton does more harm than good Proton simply reduces the incentive to make proper linux ports (to the extent such ports can be done to begin with) and it does not offer an acceptable gaming experience. Performance is pretty bad. GPU overclocking is also worse...

You seem to have the impression that democracy can be fixed by tweaking the voting system. A lot of people think that but the reality is that democracy itself is the fundamental problem and merely trying to fight against specific symptom isn't going to work out longer term. We need proper...

Watched some of the suggestion above but it without subtitles it was basically just another long mediocre porn video.
