I just tried to use Reddit with a new account. After spending about a week in it, I suddenly noticed that all my comments and postings received no upvotes or downvotes.

That’s right. I was shadowbanned, which is to say that some part of the Reddit system (AI?) decided that I need to be put into a cage that I don’t see, without telling me that it happened. Perhaps I was “evading a ban” or something. I don’t think I did anything to deserve it, and the reddit admins don’t answer to queries about it.

So yeah, Lemmy is infinite times better than Reddit.

That would be moderate or centrist, but I’m not sure why you’re asking. Liberalism is the opposite of authoritarianism and fascism, not the synonym of centrism.

The liberals

People who use the word “liberal” as a slur like this are some of the worst people on this planet.

Like others suggested here, the problem is probably nouveau and you might want to try a gaming-oriented distro which usually configure these things correctly out-of-the-box. My favourite is Nobara and Fedora (which didn’t work for you but works for me because I have different hardware). People suggest Bazzite, but I cannot recommend it because it’s based on Fedora Atomic, and I don’t get along with Fedora Atomic.

As a general admittedly non-helpful suggestion, don’t get Nvidia hardware if you want to use Linux.

are there people who made it work? sure.

For some historical context, Nvidia has had premium Linux support since 2006. For the longest time it was the only option for any kind of hardware accelerated 3D graphics on Linux and it generally worked pretty well.

Thankfully, AMD made the open-source side of graphics on Linux work also recently. At least for two years, AMD GPUs have been entirely trouble-free on Linux. To my knowledge, Nouveau is not quite there yet.

I’ve no idea if Arch actually has newer drivers than Debian / Fedora

Kinda, since Arch has nvidia’s own drivers in their extra repo, whereas in Fedora you’ll have to do some stuff to get them.

They’ve gone well beyond what other instances do and that usually suggests that someone’s getting paid to make it all happen.

I’m sure dessalines and nutomic are also being financed by CCP and FSB to develop a platform for spreading propaganda to the West.

\s perhaps

What’s Plex’s use case? Why not just mpv locally?

Based on opensuse’s docs, it seems to be in permissive state, whereas on my Fedora by default:

$ selinuxenabled  && echo yup
yup
$ getenforce
Enforcing

Not sure if the warm fuzzy feelings I get from this are justified (like what are the actual applied rules on apps? I have no idea), but it is a bit warmer and fuzzier.

I’ve been wondering about a similar change, or possibly to Arch. What I’m still wondering about is security: Fedora has Selinux enabled all over the system, and Opensuse and Arch do not. Anyone know what level of risk this mitigates?

I kinda think this story would’ve been better if it had been left an untold mystery. Way too much “this has to happen like this so that the original trilogy can happen as it did”.

Still better than 7-9 though.

Fedora has always used their own. Dpkg was released in 1994, RPM in 1997.

My comment was about Windows and MacOS kinda catching up in 2020s.

I’ve been using Linux (also Arch, several years, happily!) since 1996 and for a long time I’ve wondered why every software I run gets access to every file I have.

Flatpak is one way to fix that.

is available as a package or in the AUR

Oh okay, I see. You don’t perhaps care about programs reading the files of other programs. Well, that’s fine, everybody has their own threat models.
