  • We need to build special roads so self driving cars can navigate properly.

    You could even connect self driving cars together, by letting the front car pull them the others could save their batteries.

    And with these “trains” of self driving cars pulling each other, you wouldn’t have to build the self driving car roads very wide, they could just run on narrow “tracks” for the wheels.

    Then we’d have more space for human stuff instead of car stuff like roads and parking lots everywhere.

    He’s done it again. Elon Musk is a god damn genius.



  • I love watching all the people who cheered for Ted Cruz when he talked about bombing the middle east so much that the “sand might glow” who are now telling us that defending the sovereignty of our allies against a power aggressive to both of us is “inappropriate”.

    The best investments Russia ever made has been propping up the Republican party since at least the 90s. None of the “peaceful freedom loving traditional conservatives” of today can bring themselves to criticize this aggressive violent authoritarian power that is against everything they claim to believe in. How strange.

    The excuses are funny though keep em coming! Laughing at morons who think they’re clever enough to fool anyone is always good fun.







  • I don’t really distro hop much (you need a rolling release distro and a stable distro, never needed more) but if you’re asking I’ll assume you’re a Linux newb so really I would recommend doing something less custom. If you want Fedora and KDE, install the Fedora ISO that comes with KDE and be done.

    I won’t say it’s incredibly complex to run multiple desktop environments, but it’s definitely more of a pain and can cause weird issues (fucking NetworkManager) Better to stick to the “happy path” and make your machine as standard as possible so it’s more compatible with everything, especially if you’re new to Linux

    You get what you pay for with free news. I’ve been subscribed to The Economist for a few years and all my news is delivered calmly and emotionlessly and backed up by data and research.

    I feel much better and I’m still up to date on real news, not political theatre and recreational rage.


  • Tl;dr it’s likely that some of your hardware isn’t well supported in Linux or have vendors downright hostile to open source (fuck you, Broadcom and Nvidia) and causes you weird issues that almost always get fixed by the community but may not always work “out of the box”

    I’ve been in Linux since 2008 and have asked this question in many ways over the years. To get a real answer I’d dig more into the errors you’re encountering. I think that a lot of the “simple fixes” you mention are simply options that some hardware configurations need and some don’t.

    Flatpak and Linux in general deal with the same huge task as Windows, which is “support any hardware configuration with one universal solution”. While Windows is given every advantages by cooperative hardware vendors releasing official drivers, Linux is mostly supported by open source reverse engineered drivers.

    This means that no “universal” system is likely to work all the time in every case, but that’s ok because it’s all open source and the community finds a way.

    You mentioned themes and some graphical packages, do you have an Nvidia GPU? I never had anything but trouble on Linux with them.
