Yes you're right. Did not realize that's what you meant 😅

Wouldn't you be able to do the same with NFS?

I do not have a lot of knowledge on this, but I suspect that nvidia does not support the GTX1070 that well on Linux.

AND supports Linux better. As for nvidia, newer cards have a bit better support but I bet there's still some disparity.

What do you mean by other roots? Isn't root only one?

To summarize: the major difference is that Arch Linux gives you the latest versions of all programs and packages. You can update anytime, and you'll get the latest versions every time for all programs

Debian follows a stable release model. Suppose you install debian 12 (bookworm). The software versions there are locked, and they're usually not the latest versions. For example, the Linux kernel there is version 6.1, whereas the latest is like 6,9 or something. Neovim is version 0.7, whereas the latest is 0.9. Those versions will remain this way, unless you update to, say, debian 13 whenever it comes out. But if you do your regular system updates, it will only do security updates (which do not change the behavior of a program).

You might wonder, why is the debian approach good? Stability. Software updates = changes. Changes could mean your setup that was previously working, suddenly isn't, because now the program changed behavior. Debian tries to avoid that by locking all versions, and making sure they are fully compatible. It also ensures that by doing this, you don't miss out on security updates.

wine is not a distribution. It is a program that allows running windows applications on Linux, and is available on most distributions.

Are you able to demonstrate with supporting evidence?

[-] cyclohexane@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

Why is that? It shows proof of the exact thing I said. If you don't like that it's on Reddit, I can copy paste it here.

If you want more examples, I'm happy to provide them. Here is another example:

Debian is not bad. It is just not suitable for newcomers using it for desktop. I think my arguments hold this stance.

I unfortunately don't recall them by name, but there are distributions that are specific to Macbook and run better.

Running something at start-up can be done multiple ways:

  • look into /etc/rc.d/rc.local
  • systemd (or whatever init system you use)
  • cron job

Unpopular opinion, but Gentoo is perfect for ARM. Availability of pre built binaries for ARM can sometimes be an issue. Gentoo gives you the option to compile from source, so that if a package is available for x86, it will still most likely work with ARM
