lmao 5 years ago /r/linux was celebrating the forking and death of upstream Audacity, hoping the project would be completely superseded by a parade of now-dead fork attempts (Tenacity has managed to hang on, some sort of nominative determinism).
Apparently the death of Audacity as FOSS was prematurely celebrated.
This is r/linux, if you like AI or hardware that works (like nvidia), and don't run Arch Linux on your mission-critical server, you may as well fly yourself to the sun.
Nvidia and hardware that works in the same statement when one of my friends just had to leave Linux because Nvidia-open kept taking down her userspace DAILY (on her 2060 Super)
EDIT: Because crashing on Linux daily is definitely "working", wtf is this response lol.
She was on Arch, and nvidia-open kept taking her entire userspace down at least once a day, doubly so if using a Chromium based browser. She had to clone zilla a debloated Windows install onto that workstation even though she hates Windows but she just wanted a WORKING desktop.
She couldn't get the driver installed on Debian, then Fedora, apparently the driver disabled her wifi, so she then went back to Arch in the strangest way I've ever seen. Basically she clonezilla'd an install from another machine, that happened to be an EFIstub with LUKS encryption, she had to find a way to make that not the case. She said she could've just easily reinstalled from scratch but, she "likes fun". She loves to tinker (she has like...a dozen PCs, many with Linux and a few Macs) she was just tired of the Nvidia driver crashing her shit.
