You can change your bootloader output to verbose and it should give you an idea. Probably a startup process hanging for it’s maximum timeout or something.

If your computer takes 15 minutes to boot…something is wrong. Even when I ran Windows on a non-SSD it didn’t take that long.

“If I wasn’t a lesbian, I’d 100% date you”

Normally, I’d write this off as someone “letting me down easy”, but this was my best friend in High school that I knew for years, so I know the sentiment was genuine.

Pretty much. They also enforce usage of the Metal API on iOS, AFAIK. No idea why they don’t just adopt Vulkan across the board. It would make game development so much easier.

Yes but there is not a proton compatibility layer, so games can’t run. Also, Apple pushes their own API Metal over Vulkan and doesn’t support Vulkan. Because Apple. A third party team has to make MoltenVK to translate Vulkan to Metal.

The joke is that trans people in the tech community are typically developers+Linux users with a propensity to prefer Rust for a programming language.

A lot of people have been pushing for Rust to be incorporated into the Linux kernel more, rather than being mostly C.

It’s a joke based on a stereotype.

People bitching about Flatpaks don’t understand that they have dedupe built in. You’re literally not using any more space and it’s easier for app developers to deploy.

Try using Snaps sometime, if you want something to actually bitch about.

You… prefer snaps?

I guess we found the one person with that hot take.

Back in my day we coded in assembly and we liked it that way!

Why Bazzite for a non-gaming setup? Or are your parents gamers?

They’re trolling and have no idea what the fuck they’re talking about. I’ve literally not had a bootloader failure in a decade from multiple Linux OS installs.

The only time I had an issue was when I was playing with a bleeding edge distro and it borked full disk encryption, but that was INTENTIONALLY bleeding edge and I knew the risks.
