Without context this is meaningless. Are you gotten blocked in Github from a specific repository? And why posting it here, what do you try to achieve?

You can just transfer the files and it should find them again. I did that with Kiwix and Zeal, if I’m not mistaken. Nowadays I don’t use Zeal, but don’t remember having such a trouble when installing a new os and taking old HDD over.

Nice website. There is also Zeal: https://zealdocs.org/ and for other type of documents. There is Kiwix: https://kiwix.org , which I use to download the entire Wikipedia.

Looking at the comment history of this profile, is this a spam account trying to collect likes before it casts his spam magic spells? Sorry if you are a human, but you look like a malfunctioning robot.

Came here for Zig too. I never programmed anything in it other than hello world stuff. I think the world is waiting for the 1.0 release with complete tooling and package manager and a solid foundation that won’t change too soon. I watched talks from Andrew and what this guy and his team is doing is amazing. It’s a small team.

From what I have read it’s only the initial phase when running the Snap for the first time. The package is setting up the environment and does some things only once. And the first iteration of the Snap concept was very slow, which is improved a lot. Didn’t use Ubuntu in years, so cannot test it myself at the moment.

But only the first time you open it, right?

I don’t trust Google or Microsoft for privacy and such stuff. But Microsoft does not give up as fast as Google.

While I understand this is humorous post, it’s not crystal clear. That does not mean people lack humor, that only means we encounter a lot of trolls or idiots in the forums, that we no longer know if someone is joking or is being serious. So you should not call people being seriously wounded, if your joke didn’t come as you wish it was.

In short, if it’s not 100% clear (and it’s not), then marking it as “sarcasm” is not a bad idea if you just making a joke without trolling or flamewar. That’s just my thumb of rule. It helps you not get misunderstood.

@fbmac You search a programming language that is not criticized? Every language has its flaws.

@uis I know about nouveau which is community developed. This is what I meant with the performance. It’s not near on the same level as the proprietary. For gaming, this is not an option. But I thank you for the suggestions you made.

The best benchmarks I found is for the 20xx series, but look at the results to understand how big the difference is: https://www.phoronix.com/review/opensource-turing-3d/2

Dota 2:

• Noveau gets 7 fps
• Proprietary gets over 100 fps

That’s the level of difference we speak about.

@uis GTX 1070. The new open source driver from Nvidia does not support the 10x series, if your question should lead to that. But does not matter, because yesterday all PC parts of my new build has arrived and I will set it up this weekend. AMD+AMD now. Finally done with these Nvidia frustration.

@uis Performance is the problem. I play games and there is no alternative to proprietary drivers.

@uis I didn’t blame anyone particularly. I am just upset about the current situation as a Nvidia user. And it’s a warning to anyone who thinks about getting a Nvidia card on Linux.

Not sure why Mesa. It does not have the proprietary driver in it, does it?

@skulbuny I do not use zen and get the dkms. But honestly, the twice-dkms installation (one for each Kernel) isn’t too bad. The real issue for me is with Flatpak. I’m currently in the process of choosing and building new PC. Wish I could afford 7900XT, but together with an entire PC building it gets too expensive for me. Looking forward to AMD!

@hellvolution I do not install the driver in Flatpak, it does it automatically. Each application can depend on specific driver versions I guess and that is how it ends up installing multiple versions. That makes it quite robust to be honest, because if a new driver version sucks the application can just request to use an older version in example.

Before accusing people not knowing what they are doing, maybe you should learn about the technology you talk about. There are reasons why to use Flatpak over native Arch packages. One reason is in example I have installed kdenlive, but do not want the entire KDE suite, services and applications installed and running on my system as well.
