  • I’ve been in arch for like +2 years, I update every 3 weeks if I feel like it, it just works. If it doesn’t I update and it again just works. If the update breaks anything (never happened) I have backups of the last 5 updates and the last 5 days via brtfs.

    Idk, i can’t believe people crash their PC unless they do stupid stuff. And if you do stupid stuff, the distro doesn’t matter. I started in Ubuntu/debian and managed to brick both of those several times. Then went back to windows until I went to arch after my CS major and learning to not do stupid shit, and zero problems since.



  • “esta superficie se siente rugosa”.

    That’s a completely valid sentence, you can and do use sentir. However I think I understood what you meant, you meant that english uses feel as a verb to describe the action of touching things, not to describe how things feel to the touch. Gotcha.

    A tientas is used as a descriptor when you are trying to feel something without light, yeah.

    Also, I’m from Spain, you really don’t need to lecture me on how we talk 😅.


  • Little trick, anything that you would use “estar” in romance languages aka Portuguese, use “feel” instead of “be”, it’s just as valid and there’s less misunderstandings.

    Also, for your examples, you would never interpret “you are sad” as ser, since ser describes adjectives, it’s always estar. Your ser version would be “you are a sad person” aka “eres un triste” (in Spanish).





  • The library is a thing, not a person. That’s why you say está, because there’s nothing inherent about a library, it’s just an outer description. In general location descriptions are described with está, no ser.

    Estoy triste: I am sad right now Soy triste: I am a sad person, in general.

    La biblioteca está genial: the library is awesome right now (maybe due to an event or special decoration or because it was recently cleaned).
    La biblioteca es genial: the library is awesome in general.

    Tengo hambre: I am hungry
    Soy hambre: I am hunger/(a hungry person)








  • The famous bad flicker or ghosting of frames is a famous issue in Wayland caused by the desynchronization of frames. Around 2 years ago they patched the driver to let the system tell it explicitly how to sync the frames, and most Linux systems should have the drivers updated to work as such. Since them I’ve not had any flickering like that. A great example was Dragons Dogma 2, the flickering was insane but fixed by the patch.

    I’ve been in Wayland since KDE 6.0 and I’ve a 3080. I think that’s like 2 years now. And I game A LOT.
