There was no blowup, Reddit both received more funding and their advertising earnings increased. A 21% revenue growth in 2023, I'd say also active user growth but I'm not entirely sure.

But it was the X protocol that needed to be replaced.

It's a human thing, this is all social media. It'll happen here as well if enough people join a conversation and especially if the userbase expands. Everyone just want to have their say/get attention without checking the other comments.

Joplin is great for notes. I've set it to sync with a free Dropbox account and have used it on Android, iOS, Linux and Windows.

I haven't booted Windows since February and at this point I'm afraid to.

Yeah, I disabled it and never notice any issues, but I only play BG3 and Guildwars2.

Panel freeze is a known KDE bug on non-Intel GPUs. It's fixed in Plasma 6, avoid it on Plasma 5 by disabling window previews for the panel.

Yeah I'm a grey-beard, my first experience was Slackware in the nineties. I've been using Linux since but usually on servers and in VMs only. Recently I've been able to go 100% thanks to Proton. I really enjoy the progress made with tech such as systemd, wayland, btrfs, proton and flatpak. Though a lot of grey-beards are very resentful of these I feel they represent real positive progress. There's also support for kb backlight and other features of my laptop.

I'm also really enjoying PRIME rendering on my laptop, using Intel and Nvidia at the same time for different things. It works beautifully/seamlessly and even more so that I can just type "yay" and get a new Nvidia driver or a matching driver if there's a kernel update without having to do any babysitting manually.

I do everything on Linux now, Office work, Rustdev and I play games like BG3/Guildwars2 simply by launching them from Steam.

The only pain is that I have to configure each application manually to use Wayland, that's a bother.

Sounds like some sort of weird bug under Fedora, given the huge difference.

I just like the rolling release/quick updates of Endeavour(Arch) and SUSE Tumbleweed. So those are the ones I pick between for my gaming laptop (both with Btrfs for easy rollback though I've never needed it). For my servers I use Debian and Ubuntu.
