Now, if you are like me, you hear the words “open source” and “decentralized” and then the word “CEO” and think, wait, why does the decentralized open standard have a CEO? The whole point is that no single person or company is in charge, right? Well, welcome to the wild world of open-source governance. It’s a riot, my friends. You’re going to hear me and Eugen say the phrase “benevolent dictator for life” in dead seriousness because that’s how a lot of these projects are run.

By Mastodon CEO, are you referring to Eugen Rochko? If so, please provide a link substantiating that he's somehow sold out to Zuckerberg. Thank you.

Humans have proved that they aren't mentally ready for an internet saturated post-truth world. Arguably, some aren't even ready for cable news in a post-truth world.

I switched (back) to Fedora. I was distro hopping, but I always come back to Fedora. :)

Edit: I switched distros and everything's working fine. :P

For some reason, I can't get my Nvidia primary driver to work on Wayland. Strangely, it works perfectly on Xorg.

Gets a big "meh" from me.

I've never had an AMD card. I don't intentionally avoid them or have anything bad to say about them, my systems have just always included Nvidia cards.

I'm assuming you're talking about native Linux games?

If so, KPatience. lol

I've used Fedora Silverblue. I wouldn't recommend gaming without the proprietary Nvidia drivers. If you're okay turning off Secure Boot, installing Nvidia drivers isn't too bad depending on what card you're using. Fedora doesn't support Nvidia drivers so it can be a headache in some circumstances. If you want to use Secure Boot, tweaks are required to install the Nvidia proprietary drivers. RPM Fusion offers some help : https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA

Vanilla OS installs the Nvidia drivers out of the box even with secure boot enabled. They're currently switching between an Ubuntu base to a Debian base so I don't know how that will change things. The current version is pretty good though. https://vanillaos.org/
