I find this tone and style to be an instant turn off.

I'd love it if the KDE devs made Baloo and Akonadi optional. Their insistence on including them reminds me of Micro$oft's insistence on bundling Internet Explorer and integrating it into the OS shell in Windows 98.

2020 was such a shit year in computing. So many things got killed off. CentOS, Windows 7, Flash, and Python 2.x, off the top of my head, and probably some other things as well.

I mean yeah, most of these things were getting long in the tooth, but they were widely used and it would've been nice if they were all supported longer.

I've heard of this before. Stupid question, but what's the risk of being banned from Discord for using it?

@mojo True. He made a good introduction into both tiling window managers and holding off his own opinion/decision until end of video and only spoke 2 minutes out of 38 as a final verdict. He also do not push people into one system, just offering options and an opinion. In my mind this was well done first look for people to decide what they try next and what they await.

However it should be noted this was all in X11 and not Wayland.

Recently I have been seeing some cracks in the dike. As more and more users of FOSS come on board, they put more and more demands on developers whose numbers are not growing sufficiently fast enough to keep all the software working.

I hear from FOSS developers that too few, and sometimes no, developers are working on blocks of code. Of course this can also happen to closed-source code, but this shortness hits mostly in areas that are not considered “sexy”, such as quality assurance, release engineering, documentation and translations.

Definitely an eye-opening view from one of the most well-respected veterans of the community. Thanks for sharing.

I tried both but ended up using dwm cause it was the closest to what I wanted with the least amount of work. All I added to dwm was a clock and I was happy.

I'm sad to hear about this, vim is a great creation and it's sad to see someone go. I didn't know anything about Bram but vim is a significant tool I use daily.

I don't use linux that often but when i do VIM is the go to text/document editor. Absolutely the best imo. Sad to see someone who created something this useful go. RIP

what a bummer

In Bram's memory, those of us who can afford to ought to consider making a donation to his preferred charity, ICCF Holland.

Thank you for my editor of choice, Bram.

I'm not super familiar with Endeavour but are you sure your graphics card drivers are installed correctly? Looks like Endeavour gives you a command line program called Nvidia installer. You can also usually run "nvidia-smi" in terminal normally to check if they're working.

Also, are you on a laptop that uses integrated graphics? Maybe try switching to your dedicated NVidia graphics card.

And I'm seeing that Endeavour lets you choose which desktop environment you run, try switching to another desktop environment like Gnome or Cinnamon.

Edit: Maybe this post will help? https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/233674/rtx-3090-unsupported-graphics-card-or-driver-opengl-3-3-or-higher-recquired/233677#233677

Looks like you might be able to select which video card takes priority in the Nvidia Control Panel which you should be able to get to by running "nvidia-settings" in the command line.

It's Arch with Calamares installer

No, it's a normal desktop PC

It let's you choose which desktop install during the OS installation. If you install multiple desktops enviroments you can choose which one to run with most distros, is not a special feature of EndeavourOS or anything, most distros, if not all, can do it

Try purging your graphics driver. I think Arch based distros use pacman and I'm more familiar with apt so I'm not sure how to do that. Purge the driver and the configurations and try installing the 525 version of the driver and see if that fixes anything.

I'll try it later, thanks
