Yep.... there's another user wanting to jump ship from Windows before sunsetting Windows 10 in October.
And that user is me....
Back in 2008 - 2010 I used to run a Dual boot system on Windows XP/7 and I tried several distros back then, including:
* Mint
* KDE
* Debian
* Canonical/Ubuntu
* Puppy if only because I wanted to try it out while at work. This included Slax also.
* a couple of others that I noped right out to re-format (none worth mentioning)
* I also used to work at Brown (University) for a while and became familiar with Red Hat because of the engineering department who I used to support between Windows and Linux.
The thing is, I'm really, ***really*** hesitant about returning to Ubuntu because the community was horrendous and even though I would be asking detailed questions looking for answers, my forum posts were typically answered with "works for me" and never answered the questions I was asking. I did eventually find the answers on my own -- but if I see another "works for me" response to anything asked I will channel the most disgruntled governmental worker alive on everyone that supports this mentality. (There's more to this, but I'll leave it out unless it's pertinent).
Here's the problem. I'm looking into something that can also support some proprietary windows applications -- notably Steam and the games I have there and some third-party apps that I use for business. Otherwise, I'm familiar with some programs that worked in both Windows and Linux (my Diary program, various office variants like Libre, Open and Free vs. Office365, etc.), and can easily transfer back and forth.
While Wine can be daunting I'm looking for something smoother than that interface I tried to figure out back in 2008 and ended up keeping my boot system in dual setting. And I'm wondering if it's gotten easier since 16 years ago.
I've been reading a bit on Arch and given that it's pretty cutting edge and that makes me nervous, so I'm wondering if its cutting edge distros include Manjaro. And I'm also wondering how easy that is to configure and keep without dizzying firehoses of distro updates.
So , that aside... Which LTS would be good for getting back into Linux and being able to use the programs I'm familiar I'm looking to continue to use. Also isn't going to end up being too steep as I've been out of Linux for 15 years.
Keep in mind, this is a slow move to Linux.
I'm planning on using the answers from here on my Laptop by middle of July giving it a try. I will then be transitioning over the deskside entirely by September.
Thanks for listening and in advance for replying.

Promotion of Linux as an alternative to windows in public sector?
Windows is the de facto standard for OS and all IT tooling in Europe.
This is a political decision and needs a political initiative to change. Are their organizations promoting Linux to government?
Munich switched over to Linux for a couple of years but when Microsoft set up an office in the city they switched back.
The EU is spending billions in licensing to Microsoft instead of promoting a self grown solution and the rest of the political spectrum is learning that we cannot trust the American with our data.

Czkawka/Krokiet 9.0 — Find duplicates faster than ever before
Today I released new version of my apps to deduplicate files - Czkawka/Krokiet 9.0
You can find the full article about the new Czkawka version on Medium: https://medium.com/@qarmin/czkawka-krokiet-9-0-find-duplicates-faster-than-ever-before-c284ceaaad79. I wanted to copy it here in full, but Reddit limits posts to only one image per page. Since the text includes references to multiple images, posting it without them would make it look incomplete.
Some say that Czkawka has one mode for removing duplicates and another for removing similar images. Nonsense. Both modes are for removing duplicates.
The current version primarily focuses on refining existing features and improving performance rather than introducing any spectacular new additions.
With each new release, it seems that I am slowly reaching the limits — of my patience, Rust’s performance, and the possibilities for further optimization.
Czkawka is now at a stage where, at first glance, it’s hard to see what exactly can still be optimized, though, of course, it’s not impossible.
# Changes in current version
# Breaking changes
Video, Duplicate (smaller prehash size), and Image cache (EXIF orientation + faster resize implementation) are incompatible with previous versions and need to be regenerated.
# Core
Automatically rotating all images based on their EXIF orientation
Fixed a crash caused by negative time values on some operating systems
Updated `vid_dup_finder`; it can now detect similar videos shorter than 30 seconds
Added support for more JXL image formats (using a built-in JXL → image-rs converter)
Improved duplicate file detection by using a larger, reusable buffer for file reading
Added an option for significantly faster image resizing to speed up image hashing
Logs now include information about the operating system and compiled app features(only x86_64 versions)
Added size progress tracking in certain modes
Ability to stop hash calculations for large files mid-process
Implemented multithreading to speed up filtering of hard links
Reduced prehash read file size to a maximum of 4 KB
Fixed a slowdown at the end of scans when searching for duplicates on systems with a high number of CPU cores
Improved scan cancellation speed when collecting files to check
Added support for configuring config/cache paths using the \`CZKAWKA\_CONFIG\_PATH\` and \`CZKAWKA\_CACHE\_PATH\` environment variables
Fixed a crash in debug mode when checking broken files named `.mp3`
Catching panics from symphonia crashes in broken files mode
Printing a warning, when using `panic=abort`(that may speedup app and cause occasional crashes)
# Krokiet
Changed the default tab to “Duplicate Files”
# GTK GUI
Added a window icon in Wayland
Disabled the broken sort button
# CLI
Added `-N` and `-M` flags to suppress printing results/warnings to the console
Fixed an issue where messages were not cleared at the end of a scan
Ability to disable cache via `-H` flag(useful for benchmarking)
# Prebuild-binaries
This release is last version, that supports Ubuntu 20.04 github actions drops this OS in its runners
Linux and Mac binaries now are provided with two options x86_64 and arm64
Arm linux builds needs at least Ubuntu 24.04
Gtk 4.12 is used to build windows gtk gui instead gtk 4.10
Dropping support for snap builds — too much time-consuming to maintain and testing(also it is broken currently)
Removed native windows build krokiet version — now it is available only cross-compiled version from linux(should not be any difference)
# Next version
In the next version, I will likely focus on implementing missing features in Krokiet that are already available in Czkawka, such as selecting multiple items using the mouse and keyboard or

Although I generally view the transition from GTK to Slint positively, I still encounter certain issues that require additional effort, even though they worked seamlessly in GTK. This includes problems with popups and the need to create some widgets almost from scratch due to the lack of documentation and examples for what I consider basic components, such as an equivalent of GTK’s TreeView.

Arch Linux with Sway on Raspberry Pi 3A+
archlinuxarm.org provides ARM images of Arch Linux, but they were last updated in 2023, so in order to get any software to run I had to fully update the system, including glibc. After this, I was able to install sway. It was difficult to find a browser that worked with the very small amount of RAM (512mb), but I chose netsurf as it is both lightweight and usable.

Likelyhood of AMD 7900 xtx getting HDMI 2.1 support?
Hello,
I am currently in the process of building a new computer. Due to availability I have not been able to acquire a 5090, and I have instead started looking at the 7900 xtx. It looks like it so going to fit my needs pretty well.
However, the 7900 xtx card that is available to me is the Sapphire Nitro+. This card does have 2x HDMI - 2x DP . I am also planning to upgrade into 3x 4k gaming monitors, and I am afraid im going to get screwed by the HDMI ports not working on 2.1
Does anyone have any information regarding this, or another solution that would work?
Cheers

Has Alacritty become significantly faster? A newer typometer benchmark of a few terminal emulators.
Around 4 years ago I was building my own x11-WM, and had been using Alacritty for a few months.
Each time my WM crashed I was dumped back into the tty, and it was striking how fast typing in it felt, then I saw [this post\](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/jc9ipw/why_do_all_newer_terminal_emulators_have_such_bad/) and it clicked. The input lag was extremely noticeable, I switched back to xterm and have been using it since.
\---
A lot of time has passed, and development has moved forwards, I heard good things about ghostty, so I decided to fire up some terminal emulators, find the (somewhat) maintained [typometer branch\](https://github.com/frarees/typometer) and see what's changed.
I benchmarked the three terminal emulators that I currently find most interesting (in and outside of neovim) against xterm:
Alacritty, kitty, and ghostty, [here are the results\](https://imgur.com/ckMdY2G).
Or in short table form, sorted by lowest input latency.
|Terminal emulator|Avg ms latency|SD ms latency|
|:-|:-|:-|
|xterm|4.0|0.4|
|xterm nvim|3.9|0.6|
|alacritty|4.6|0.5|
|alacritty nvim|6.5|1.0|
|ghostty|13.7|2.9|
|ghostty nvim|13.7|2.9|
|kitty|22.1|8.1|
|kitty nvim|24|7.9|
\---
xterm and alacritty are so close that the difference is probably not noticeable anymore, while ghostty touches too-slow-to-use-at-all territory, and kitty is an immediate no-go.
In case you skipped looking back at the previous post, this https://lwn.net/Articles/751763/ may be a good read on why latency matters when typing. I personally spend almost all my time at the computer typing into a terminal, which means that the way I rate terminal emulators may be very skewed compared to someone who mostly cats/greps files f.e.
Then again, there's some evidence to suggest that poor input latency trips your brain up, while slow rendering of a text-dump has no such evidence that I'm aware of.
\---
Four years ago I had different hardware, but I'm wondering why xterm's latency has increased by close to 400%, while alacritty's has decreased by almost 70% compared to my last benchmark. Does anyone know why that is?
\---
Now I'm considering switching to alacritty, I need to run some more benchmarks on my other devices to see that it's not just a hardware-thing with this specific machine as well before I do it. Is there any big benefits to switching to alacritty now that its killing drawback has been removed for me?

Bluefin system requirements
I've been a bit curious about Bluefin and would like to try it on a spare laptop. My main "spare laptop" is very low resource though (specifically: it's an old Thinkpad Yoga with only 4G RAM), so I'm not sure if it's a good idea.
It's run GNOME before, and it's fine... most of the time. Sometimes it has a RAM-based freezeup. But mostly OK.
I've been looking for Bluefin's system requirements and not seeing any information, which kinda makes me assume that it's *not* for low end laptops like that. Like, if they're not posting system requirements it's because everybody who uses it has new high spec equipment so they never worry their pretty little heads about "system requirements".
So I probably would not want to use *that* laptop to try it out.
But if anybody has actual information I'd be very curious.
