@kimholder It was build really quickly, and then had more and more features hastily tacked on. Changing pretty much anything on it breaks something else, its was getting really painful.
Haha, didn't think there are even cartoons for this :D
Though I really didn't have to edit xorg.conf for years now... just when my GPU was only half supported a few years back I had to set the driver manually.
I just saw this amazing video that shows procedural raindrop effect using a node setup in EEVEE, created by this person. It's not possible to see the node setup from the video. So I wonder if someone knows how to create a node setup that does what's being shown in the video.
Yep that looks quite like a community of people "Spending way too much time making [their] desktop awesome" :D No, it's nice to see what people make (is this even possible in M$ Windows? don't think so). I like the optics of KDE Plasma, but on the other hands it's more heavy.
My neither, at least not as DE, just with individual programs that use it. @gandalf3, @TARDISMaker Why are you sing Arch, anyway? Because you want maximal "customizability"? I'm always trying to minimise administration effort on my machines.
@TARDISMaker Why is that? I mean "more stable than others"? isn't a fixed release like *buntu more stable because the individual components are tested to work together?
And uhh... https://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/47281011#47281011 Though this might be AMDs fault as well.
Hi guys. Blender is pretty slow at importing/exporting high-poly meshes. Vote positive for this so that the Blender developers might consider working on a feature to parallelize the process
@Ignatiamus I don't know if arch is really more stable, but the install-from-scratch thing also sort of trains you how to deal with problems when they arise
pacman is amazing
I definitely miss the simplicity of it when dealing with apt..
That said most of the problems I've encountered are my fault anyway, it's quite rare for packages in the official repos to break
If I ran debian or mint or something (I wouldn't use ubuntu for other reasons) I'd be installing everything from PPAs anyway just to have the latest version/features :P
@TARDISMaker I have actually. They really tried hard to implement the universe starting with k, and it sort of works. kThings integrate with other kthings as expected (mostly), and there's a kThing for everything :P
Certainly coming from windows it feels pretty natural (and imo, an improvement in many areas even from just a ux standpoint)
But definitely feels bloated (though I've sort of gotten to the point now where I think everything that comes with something I might not want feels bloated, so.. take that how you will)
Having tried most of the main large-scale DEs (kde, gnome, unity way back when I used ubuntu) and left, I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon
@Ignatiamus AFAIK the kernel and firmware are pretty much the same (so it probably is broken on ubuntu too). I haven't actually tested it though, I should have an ubuntu live usb somewhere..
