  • But that’s the theory, when I run games on GNOME the games and desktop itself looks laggy, on KDE 4 I still noticed some lag while with KDE 5 I feel almost like playing on i3wm, with 3iwm you can run many games faster and with less lag than many Windows users (my Windows friends normally have more issues than me). While KDE 5 is my second-best option, there is no third for me. Or i3wm or KDE for gaming. And normally my PC specs stands higher than the recommended on many games (also new ones). If you can test it and provide some feedback would be great.


  • ⲇⲅⲇ@lemmy.mltoLinux@lemmy.mlDo you use Gnome or KDE Plasma?

    I tried a lot of desktop environments and I think KDE is the best one, games runs much better than GNOME while the desktop is so smart and many features… I really tried so hard GNOME but the UI sucks, it is slower running games, there are missing options very important for me that KDE has, so for me GNOME is a NO for working/gaming purposes.










  • But on the same links you sent are saying:

    A Linux-based system is a modular Unix-like operating system, deriving much of its basic design from principles established in Unix during the 1970s and 1980s.

    What difference are between “*-based” and “*-like”? If the meaning are the same then I’m right, if Unix-based means must be like a fork directly from Unix and not just a copy build from 0, then yeah, you are right. And I think based and like are the same meaning.

    Edit:
    I also found this image: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Unix_timeline.en.svg

    Unix timeline: Unix timeline where Linux is also present

    Edit 2:

    I just asked to ChatGPT and seems the AI can explain this:

    “Unix-like” and “Unix-based” are terms used in the realm of operating systems, particularly in relation to the Unix operating system and its derivatives. While they may seem similar, they convey slightly different concepts:

    Unix-like:
    - “Unix-like” refers to operating systems that resemble Unix in terms of design, behavior, or functionality, but may not necessarily be directly derived from the original Unix codebase.
    - These operating systems typically adhere to Unix-like principles and may incorporate similar features, commands, and programming interfaces.
    - Examples of Unix-like operating systems include Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and macOS (which is based on a Unix-like kernel called Darwin).

    Unix-based:
    - “Unix-based” specifically indicates operating systems that have a direct lineage or heritage tracing back to the original Unix operating system developed at Bell Labs in the 1970s.
    - These operating systems often have their roots in the Unix codebase, either through direct licensing agreements, re-implementations, or forks of the original Unix source code.
    - Examples of Unix-based operating systems include various commercial Unix variants such as Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX, which have historical ties to the original Unix.

    In essence, while both terms relate to systems that share similarities with Unix, “Unix-like” suggests a broader category of Unix-inspired operating systems, while “Unix-based” specifically denotes those with a direct lineage or relationship to the original Unix system.

    So you are right, and they probably wanted to mean Unix-like. But we could still say based as both has some kind of relationship, and that’s why Linux it’s on Unix timeline from wiki.








  • It’s not a waste of time, you live once, you die forever, once dead, you will have all the time you have lost in life. Anyway, even if this life sucks… it’s the only thing we have to feel, often we fall on depressions but normally people that is able to be online posting here, they are often better than 90% of the people on the world, you probably have food and everything you need, and you can do much more or much less as you please. Bad feelings/depression often blind ourselves, so be happy and motivated even if you are depressed, those bad and good feelings are just like leaves moving by wind, they come and go as they please. Often our depression and lack of happiness is caused by our gens and survival instinct.



  • Alcohol is popular because also improves your socialization, could be linked perfectly, but I’m not an expert to say it. And smoking cigarettes is also bad and isn’t banned, while weed is safer than those two addictions, and it’s still mostly illegal. There are reasons, and hippies are probably the cause, government wanted to criminalize them and their love movement. If alcohol keeps you down, and quiet, the government will not care to ban even if it’s bad for your health, they need the companies to keep winning money.
