I have used brave search which was really good I really liked the ai search although i moved away from it after seeing how bad google ai search was (saying things like its a good idea to eat rocks due to not being able to recognise satire) and I managed to get brave to do the same thing with a different onion article so i dont really trust any ai search now. At the moment I use searx it's incredibly private especially if you are willing to self host (I am not) and you have so much customisation you can use any search index so you don't have to worry about bad results.
Qwant also seams really good although I haven't tried it, same with ecosia especially if you like planting trees although I use an ad blocker so that doesn't work for me.
Imo there are so many great free browsers it's not really worth paying for a browser.
I also don't recommend duck duck since it used to have a tracking deal with Microsoft. It doesn't have it anymore but I think it's enough to lose faith in it.
I'm currently using bazzite due to its really solid out of the box support for gaming hardware and peripherals.
I'm really surprised everyone uses arch. I have three theories as to why:
- There actually aren't that many arch uses but when arch users have the opportunity they won't hesitate to say "BTW I use arch" were as others don't really bother.
- There are lots of arch users and everyone uses it because they want to be able to say "BTW I use arch"
- (Very unlikly) There are lots of arch users and it's because it's actually a good distro that people like.
(This is mostly a joke jsyk I'm sure arch is a great distro)
I only use lemmy. Unless youtube counts but I don't think so.
Yeah so I tried my nvidia gtx 1660 and yeah everything worked perfectly first try.
its a amd ryzen 1600 it doesn't have an igpu. Although I have a spare gtx 1660 I might try that.
Bazzite has the same issue. Still no display output. And yes I'm sure my hdmi cable is plugged since it still works with safe graphics on and windows works perfectly with no issues.
Yeah it would be bad if that happened. Governments really hate privacy.
I feel like a 321 backup is kind of inhibitory specifically 2 different mediums. Hard disks are by far the cheapest and it seams a bit excessive storing your entire database on Ssd's or something like that.
Ideally I would have one for each service I sign up for but my proton subscription only allows for 10.
Instead of making a whole new software why not just add number plate cameras to the osm database and make a software that pulls them out and makes it convenient to read?
I don't really understand the point of this. What kind of logs are you storing and why would you want to?
Yeah I've seen this distro seams really good and my main use case is gaming. I will give it a go.
I can't even get into the login screen without safe graphics on so I'm not sure how I can login to a specific tty.
Yep I switched out the cable and a different cable type and a different display didn't help.
yeah I tried using another display and switching out the display cable didn't help at all.

Wow freecad looks really good. Might finally change from fusion 360.
Yeah there arn't many reasons not to switch to Linux but people still won't because they don't have any good reason to switch. People just don't seam to care about there privacy and the idea of open source or know why it's important. Although I'm hopeful that will change in the future
Another reason is the idea of installing another os is intimidating for a lot of people most people buy a laptop or pc with windows pre installed and they just sign in and go the idea of changing installing an os seams to risky or like too much work. A good comparison is when I tried to convince some of my friends to use firefox one of them uses opera gx and he knows how terrible of a browser it is but he won't change because he doesn't want to move all his tabs. Another one just hated the name "firefox" for some reason.
These weird displays are getting out of hand
For the first time I am actually switching my main PC from Windows to Linux.
Problem: When booting into Fedora there was no display output, I changed it to safe graphics to install everything and that fixed it but after the install finished I tried turning it back off and there was still no display output
What I have already tried: I've tried installing drivers and everything I could find although that shouldn't be the problem since I have an AMD 6700xt and Fedora comes with AMD drivers built in. I also tried Installing Linux Mint thinking maybe the distro was the problem but it came up with the same issue.
And if anyone suggests it no there is no way I am going to daily drive on safe graphics.
Edit: I am dual booting on a single 500gb ssd with windows already installed on the other half of the drive, not sure if that would be the problem. Also a similar problem was happening on windows if I left the screen in login for too long without signing in the display would show no signal and it wouldn't wake up if I moved my mouse or clicked or pressed any keys.
