I guess you run a bit of everything, but I couldn’t tell you what every distro is doing with their package manager. All I know is I installed it the same way as most other things on linux using the distro repos and let those guys sort out what versions should be used. I just wanted to point out that the original commenter wasn’t necessarily wrong. That I could in fact follow their instructions and it was there for me as indicated by the screenshot with no further action from me.


It is there for me on Arch linux. Distro package.

Edit: Based on your comment about going to the website to get the software. Maybe you are a windows user?


I also have a 3080 and have been considering switching to AMD, but with the problems you describe. Maybe, I’ll give Intel’s offerings a shot assuming the graphics cards don’t suffer the same way their cpu’s are right now.


Weird, I haven’t had any issues since I bought it on steam whenever the official release was.


My only problem with Signal is the inability to manually sync conversations. Even if I have backups from my phone. They can’t be used on the desktop. I have seen some third party tools, but even those state that they might not work.




The conclusion is that they are basically the same except for in cases where vrr is a factor. In those cases kde is better because gnome doesn’t currently support vrr.



Privacy is important everywhere, people most often answer this question regarding digital privacy, but think about in your everyday life. For example, I just bought a house. Buying a house is public record here in the states. The moment you buy a house companies will grab that data and then start trying to sell you services. They will use the name of the bank that you took out a loan with, they know your loan number, loan type, loan amount, full name and address. They will do everything to misrepresent who they are as if they come from the bank that holds your loan to sign you up for some service you most likely don’t want or don’t need. Older people fall for it all the time. Digitally it just gets worse.


I’m just waiting for linux phones to be as viable as linux on the desktop, which I already use. I’ll take whatever drawbacks come with that decision.
