Which is what I was talking about when I said immutable systems need a first party solution. Meaning the system itself needs to implement it, you can’t bolt it on with packages or services

Setting the label is the mutation

Windows 10. It just didn’t run on hard drives, when I turned off constantly scanning the drive and the firewall, it refused to update because the update service requires the firewall. Then I forgot how I did it so I never booted into it again.

Windows 7 was the last offline Windows and the last one that was tolerable

Well, that’s because it’s a first party solution. From NixOS point of view SELinux is mutating the store which is forbidden

I think the preferred approach is AppArmor because SELinux is not supported on immutable distros. I’m not a security expert either, but I would not share environments between two clients at all, I would put them in separate VMs

You can try to just make a hardened NixOS config. The only requirement is systemd to use NixOS options. Other components you can freely interchange.

Okay, but have you tried actually installing it? VMs just have worse performance

Or in some cases wine

I played computer games since I was like 5 years old, it’s not so hard to figure out when you just get to play a few hours a day. I figured stuff out by myself even though I didn’t even speak English and everything was in English

Games might be a place to start, but a kid will think “tablet is easier”.

If you play RTS games it’s really hard to do it without mouse and keyboard, so that’s a point for a desktop or laptop

I would just like my inputs to be separate from the outputs. Anyone write a split pane thing?

Yeah, but only when you build with lto+pgo which will take even longer

spend an hour building to save 1ms per page load

This is probably the most polished one I’ve found

So they could do it for pixels and this open source firmware could be used by Graphene OS, for example?

Ubuntu is gross, don’t recommend. It works until it doesn’t. Expect questions like “why doesn’t USB access work in chromium” and having to try to explain what snap is

I wish everyone would just switch to standard OTPs

No, if there are issues, there are issues. The logic only works one way:

If one person doesn’t have issues doesn’t mean some people don’t have issues. But if even one person has issues it necessarily means some people have issues

That’s not quite true. AMD cards just get clocked higher from the factory. So when a 9070xt beats a 5070 by an average of 17%, you can easily cap the power limit to match the performance. That’s with more VRAM which of course increases the power requirements

The prices don’t quite match up, though since it’s between the 5070 and the ti (although in the US it’s often more expensive for some reason)

The problem is that AMD is selling the chips to OEMs for a price that’s too high to enable to sell at MSRP while giving a discount for small batches of MSRP models. It becomes a lottery where the quickest people can get $600 models refreshing ever rarer restocks.

One of the reasons is… tariffs, but I’m not sure how Nvidia got the prices down on its models

I have freezes on the latest Nvidia drivers as recently as yesterday on wine. Also Wayland wine is not ready, doesn’t even full screen properly

Osu! linux version is ten times slower than wine using the same graphics back end. Yes, I get over 1000 fps on wine and only 100 natively. It would be fine if it didn’t get choppy and drop lower during the busiest part of the game.

Just because it works for you doesn’t mean it doesn’t have issues

The log screams at me about the Nvidia driver and page flipping and stuff and I doubt I can do much at this point
