Good points, why not change it and recompile Firefox and see what font works. Then you can submit a pull request for this issue and they might actually accept it
That’s why I love NixOS, some dude (okay sometimes it’s me) already figured out how to compile all the software and built the binaries if you want them
I currently have a low end Windows gaming laptop that I was planning to upgrade to Linux before Win10 goes end of life, but my HDMI port stopped working, so now I’m debating buying a new Linux laptop instead. Can anyone provide any recommendations?...
Here’s an idea: buy Framework 16. It’s expensive, yes, but if your HDMI port stops working it’s not an issue because internally it connects via USB so you can buy a new insert for hdmi for $20.
Not only that, but the dGPU can be removed and upgraded to a newer model. It’s the only laptop on the market that can do this, and I’m waiting for the next AMD GPUs to actually buy a dGPU for my laptop. The iGPU actually games well too! I think similar to a 1050 or 1050ti in some games.
It doesn’t come preloaded with Linux, but it has excellent support for it.
I sometimes got performance issues or corrupted frames, so I mostly use mpv. It sometimes fails for some files so I need to switch to VLC to handle them.
When I first started using Linux 15 years ago (Ubuntu) , if there was some software you wanted that wasn’t in the distro’s repos you can probably bet that there was a PPA you could add to your system in order to get it....
I used ppas and then noticed the updates take forever and start failing as those ppas don’t exist anymore. I switched to NixOS to eliminate having to deal with this. NixOS packages perfectly integrate with your system and you can install almost anything you need, even networking software and other things that need root. For everything else you can package it yourself, and nixpkgs will accept your pull requests
Yes, but there are things that absolutely drove be crazy in Windows. When you switch to Korean, it would default to Latin characters, and you have to switch to Korean characters. Which is fine if you always use the Korean layout and just toggle between Latin and Korean characters, like most Koreans.
But I am actually learning Korean and I speak more than one other language. When I switch to Chinese I expect it to type in Chinese. When I switch to Korean, I expect it to type in Korean.
The most bullshit thing about Windows is if the default behavior doesn’t suit you, there’s no way to change it. You’re stuck with how Windows works because it’s batteries included.
Codeberg seems cool, even though I saw it go down a little while ago. I still believe the internet wants to be free. There’s no guarantee GitHub won’t eventually start charging for more things.

Clozemaster-style spaced repetition app for languages. It reads a sentence with text to speech, you have to fill in the blank with your target language. Translation can be shown if you’re stuck, and you can turn on hints when typing. It shows the words based on the SM-2 algorithm or similar
