Vortex Linux

Building the framework for a better end-user experience.

[Yuchen Jin @Yuchenj_UW]

Before AI, I’d spend a weekend building 1 useless app.

Now I can build 67 useless apps over a weekend, each with a logo, a fancy webpage, and 0 user.

@geerlingguy NAT solved IP4 long before IP6 was anywhere near fully baked. At this point, it's a solution looking for a problem to solve because the original problem has gone away.

@sysxplore Unfortunately. Some games just refuse to have an anti cheat with compatibility

[Vortex Linux @VortexLinux]

@dhh Doesn't hardware spec matter a bit with this speed? I've got some stuff i can try it on

[Vortex Linux @VortexLinux]

@TheAhmadOsman What do you do when a GPU fails? I've got a dead 3080 i think from memory failures.

Linux gaming is evolving at an absurd pace

Proton-CachyOS now includes:

▸ Built in OptiScaler integration
▸ FSR4 support
▸ HDR improvements
▸ Wayland enhancements
▸ Better WineWayland behavior
▸ Reduced shader compilation overhead
▸ Media playback fixes
▸ Audio improvements
▸ Better compatibility for modern games

They even fixed:

▸ Broken H264 playback
▸ Wuthering Waves webview issues
▸ Mouse behavior bugs
▸ HDR colorspace handling
▸ Video crashes in multiple games

This is no longer “Linux gaming is improving.”

This is:

Linux gaming becoming genuinely cutting edge.

Yet again Microsoft holding a fat L for wanting to vibe code the universe and expect everyone to play nicely.

[Manoj @mbajaj_]

the part nobody's talking about: this runs on import. your AI coding agent installs packages autonomously. it doesn't read security advisories. it doesn't check if v2.4.6 was compromised. it sees a dependency, installs it, and the credential stealer is already running before any code review happens. we built an entire ecosystem of autonomous agents that install and execute code without human review, and the supply chain security model is still "hope nobody poisons the package." this isn't a mistral problem. this is what happens when agents have install permissions and credentials on the same machine.

@FrameworkPuter I can't wait for this stupid bubble to pop so actually useful and good AI is all that's left and my FW13 Pro is affordable. This hurts you guys so much honestly.

[Vortex Linux @VortexLinux]

@svpino I'm really interested in the connotation to the normal FW13 keyboard, as I really wanna get the pro to upgrade

[Vortex Linux @VortexLinux]

@fidodido_48 @Itsfoss Honestly this hasn't been my mainstream experience in a few years now, even though i look for it. A lot more Ubuntu and Mint users are jumping on board, as well as Deckers (and soon GabeCubers)

[Framework @FrameworkPuter]

One week after opening pre-orders, these are still selling extremely fast. We're now into Batch 10, which is our last August batch. We're going to do everything we can to scale manufacturing capacity to build these faster too!

[Vortex Linux @VortexLinux]

Shade thrown like an automatic umbrella the size of Kansas

[Framework @FrameworkPuter]

@MechanizeWork You should spend some of that to change your logo.

[Framework @FrameworkPuter]

Also in interesting sales data, the Gray/Black keyboard is vastly outselling the traditional Black one!

>1/3rd of Framework Laptop 13 Pro customers are buying it to replace a MacBook Pro, and almost all of them are switching to Linux (based on our optional post-purchase surveys).

[Adam Orand @King_INF3RN0]

@FrameworkPuter Every other laptop company take notes. Framework has built a backwards and forwards compatible product so well engineered that they are able to respond to tweets like this and not have to design and order a custom product, just Lego it together and take it apart after the photo.

[cursed_connectors @cursedconnector]

That is more power than I had been led to believe you could get from a Peltier of such a size..!

I might have to brush the dust off my stack of TECs and have a play!

[Vortex Linux @VortexLinux]

@Itsfoss Interesting I'll have to check this out

[Vortex Linux @VortexLinux]

@_MG_ @wholemars Wouldn't prices go up though regardless since most players build overseas? Until manufacturing compensates in the US, getting a router now at low prices might be the move temporarily if you are currently in the market for one. I might be missing something though
