I have always believed that the main issue for the adoption of linux by the masses, is that we nerds overestimate how much common people know about the system

tryhardsoccermomswag•1/5/24, 2:21 AM

oh, well some of those terms are not really specific to the project. overclocking and poll rate are very much general computer terms. compatdata is the WINE prefix which i try to explain poorly here: https://universal-blue.discourse.group/docs?topic=31#what-is-a-protonwine-prefix-11

now rebase should be defined sure

tryhardsoccermomswag•1/5/24, 2:21 AM

yeah i get that

CharlieBrosOP•1/5/24, 2:21 AM

...I believe theres a XKCD for that

tryhardsoccermomswag•1/5/24, 2:21 AM

the never ending desktop linux hurdles

At some point I'm going to do a very nice looking website (I am biased)

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 2:23 AM

When that happens we'll have a much friendlier frontend

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 2:23 AM

Without all the nerd shit

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 2:24 AM

Likely right after we get the installer sorted

tryhardsoccermomswag•1/5/24, 2:24 AM

honestly we need the attention of the nerds right now for the project to help on some other fronts too

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 2:24 AM

Since that's kind of a requirement for normal users

tryhardsoccermomswag•1/5/24, 2:25 AM

universal blue has grown significantly over the last 4 months, but even in linux circles, it's kind of unknown. but i sometimes think the linux circles are worried about other stuff

tryhardsoccermomswag•1/5/24, 2:26 AM

that is fine however. the project will continue to grow and i think eventually once a lot of things get fixed upstream and we are in a good spot, things will change

j0rge•1/5/24, 2:28 AM

once people realize that you'll be able to switch between nvk and nvidia with a reboot via a single

just

just

command without any building of modules or any of that crap then we'll be in a good place.

j0rge•1/5/24, 2:28 AM

check the ISO thread for installer progress, we're close now.

tryhardsoccermomswag•1/5/24, 2:29 AM

oh is that in the works? that would be extremely convenient with the rapid progress of nvk recently

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 2:29 AM

We get it for free

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 2:29 AM

Next Kernel release all non-nvidia builds will support NVK

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 2:29 AM

switching between it and proprietary is a rebase away

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 2:30 AM

All the kargs are handled for you by our setup stuff

j0rge•1/5/24, 2:30 AM

people still arguing about packages

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 2:30 AM

As is the Firefox config

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 2:30 AM

Thanks to that work in testing

M2•1/5/24, 2:31 AM

Is testing ahead of unstable now?

j0rge•1/5/24, 2:31 AM

actually we should just say that in the buzz #10

j0rge•1/5/24, 2:31 AM

actually, if you want, I can dive in, need to wait for these anyway, Halo might be a wash tonight for me lol

MM2 Is testing ahead of unstable now?

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 2:31 AM

They bounce around, unstable is quite literally a playground where we break it often

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 2:31 AM

If you want to be the most up-to-date I would think testing is the best place for you

tryhardsoccermomswag•1/5/24, 2:31 AM

god i keep forgetting about the buzz!!! i am working on the misc. documentation but im over-thinking it

j0rge•1/5/24, 2:31 AM

j0rge•1/5/24, 2:32 AM

this looks so good!

tryhardsoccermomswag•1/5/24, 2:32 AM

i might change it...

tryhardsoccermomswag•1/5/24, 2:32 AM

lol

KKyle Gospo At some point I'm going to do a very nice looking website (I am biased)

CharlieBrosOP•1/5/24, 2:32 AM

Letting you know that I'm up to help translating, and also helping to digest the terms and explanations to make them friendlier for the common peeps

tryhardsoccermomswag•1/5/24, 2:32 AM

i wanted the bee because buzz but it's very lazy. i took that from a canva template

tryhardsoccermomswag•1/5/24, 2:32 AM

to have that theme of a bee

j0rge•1/5/24, 2:32 AM

lazy is our middle name

tryhardsoccermomswag•1/5/24, 2:32 AM

lol

CharlieBrosOP•1/5/24, 2:33 AM

Like saying systemd and wayland are spawns of satan, etc

tryhardsoccermomswag•1/5/24, 2:33 AM

i will look into this now i guess. ive been waiting for a lot of things to come out of testing but obviously they need to be tested still, and i didnt want to write down features/fixes that werent in latest yet

KKyle Gospo If you want to be the most up-to-date I would think testing is the best place fo...

M2•1/5/24, 2:33 AM

Okay. Unstable is described like that as well. A person was having an issue on unstable and I was pretty sure testing resolved it.

tryhardsoccermomswag•1/5/24, 2:34 AM

but ill dive in

KKyle Gospo Likely right after we get the installer sorted

CharlieBrosOP•1/5/24, 2:35 AM

Question, why does Bazzite doesn't use a friendlier installer, like Kalamares (man I'm old, I remember when that was the hip trend)

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 2:35 AM

Because we're downstream of Fedora we use whatever Fedora provides
