Anyone know of an eli5 on zram? I don't see why just compressing your RAM would make it run better.

I stand corrected!

Debian supports their version for two years. Then you need to upgrade.

But I just think more options are always good. Only having one just limits us to a mono-culture if we don't want to go with some corporate solution.

I honestly think we need community-managed LTS distros. This is a good start.

With increasing enshittification of so many Linux distros, community distros like Debian are more important than ever. Debian, Arch, Void, Gentoo are so important. I hope more people put some life into Mageia and OpenMandriva. We could use some more alternatives.

From the majority of the team, this is a pretty good and textbook PR mea culpa. "Here's how we screwed up, here's how we're fixing it."

The pushing the merch was tone-deaf and the defensive whining from Linus was NOT on-point, though. I appreciate it ended with "how I'm going to fix it," but he should keep the defensive shit to himself.

I know Linus was pushing back REAL hard on getting a fact checker. And it would've likely prevented this situation entirely.

Edit: Other than the pushing of merch... Sigh... This is a pretty good PR mea culpa. At least from the rest of the team. I guess I should finish it. Pretty textbook. "We screwed up, here's how we're fixing it."

Edit 2: Nevermind. I got to the part with Linus. FFS.

Steam. I need higher Linux compatibility.

Freaking good. I wasn’t buying this due to their previous stance. I’ll watch for a while, but I’d feel a lot better about it.

Additional community distros not mentioned: OpenMandriva, PCLinuxOS, Mageia, NixOS.

I'm looking for help getting my magazine more exposure on the Fediverse. When I look at it from Lemmy.world, the magazine appears blank. But it definitely isn't. Is there a certain way to get other Fediverse sites to see content there?

Unfortunately, no. The roasting process, well, cooks them. You can buy uncooked fresh beans though and plant those.

My question here is if there are any rattlecan varnishes people recommend not from Citadel or Army Painter? I'm looking to speed up the varnishing but not all my FLGS have them in stock all the time.

I usually use a painted-on Army Painter Anti-Matte varnish, but lately I've found that process to be rather tedious. Additionally, it can cause issues with my Speedpaints 1.0.

Once I'm done with my bottle, I was considering spray-on varnishes. Now I know that we can use certain regular brand rattlecan primers, like Rustoleum, but I was wondering if anyone had a go-to rattlecan varnish they use that isn't from one of the "big" mini paint companies. (Like Rustoleum? or something?) I can hit a hobby store too if there's something there people like.

I've found there isn't a lot online about this topic. Some videos, sure, but they seem Europe-oriented, and we often have different products here in the U.S., particularly in these regular hardware store items. So I was looking for advice and thoughts.

I'd be thrilled to mostly sit and purchase from GoG if they really dedicated to Linux.
