I agree with the other commenter recommending to migrate as soon as possible while the kernel still does support, but that does seem like a workable strategy if you can't for the foreseeable future.

Use an old kernel version (if yours doesn't still support it) and something like btrfs-convert to get a maintained filesystem instead. Works pretty well in my experience with converting other filesystems to btrfs.

AWOOO SIBLING! DO YOU KNOW IF THE PACK EXISTS ON LEMMY TOO? IS THERE A PLACE FOR ALL US HOG CRANKERS TO GATHER YET?

OpenGamepadUI works well as a FOSS alternative to Steam if you'd like that as well.

I second rusticl, but I'd like to note that it uses Gallium internally, and not Vulkan. There is a vulkan-gallium translation layer called Zink, though, which can be used to run rusticl on any Vulkan-capable GPU AFAIK. Zink is initially made to run OpenGL on Vulkan, but it's also just a general-purpose Gallium driver.

Have you looked at Guix? I love it because it uses Scheme instead of Nix as its language, but I realize not everyone likes Lisp as much as I do. Also, I found the documentation easier to follow. Since it is a GNU project, you will need to install a third party channel (repo) if you need proprietary drivers/firmware. If you do, check out SystemCrafters' install image, which has firmware on the image so you can at least boot it.

I think so. The language (Scheme) is a lot more logical to me, and the higher focus on reproducibility in the main channel compared to Nix (Guix can be bootstrapped from a tiny binary seed) is a draw for me.

Communism isn't bad per se, authoritarianism is, but there are many authoritarian regimes going under the name 'communist', thus we have a term for that: tankie. Using different terms to describe the Israeli state (like fascist, ethno-nationalist, or Zionist) and its supporters does not mean it's not bad. It really is! It's just categorically different in the ideology espoused by them, and having language to describe that is not bad.

PPA:s are specifically hosted by Canonical, no? Otherwise it's just a normal repo.

Well, in this specific instance she's a known bigot and all around bad person because of her targeting the queer community. Also, her interviews trying to defend this behavior do not show her in a very positive light. All I'm saying is that if basically anyone else had posted it, there would probably not be this strong of a reaction.

This is different from the Wayland security model, as Wayland restricts the ability for clients to modify and read from other clients arbitrarily. This is an extension to a Wayland compositor, and as all extensions do, it contains code which runs on your system. Any code, unless sandboxed, can access your filesystem no matter if it's run under Wayland, X11, or no windowing system at all for that matter.

Maybe mod_lua is an equivalent? I haven't used OpenResty so there may be something I'm missing.
