What's the genie effect?


The window being minimized animates.

It goes from bottom to top of the window with a continuous effect, it squishes down in width then gets warped/pulled to the dock icon to minimize.

The effect is like when Genie from Aladdin enters or leaves the lamp, but without smoke.


Sorry, It is actually called magnification effect (I am not a Mac user).

For me it's been super stable. I've hardly seen any bugs. And in those remote cases, it would be more correct to call them quirks than bugs, which have later been fixed anyway. I've been using for intensive gaming, AI projects, and audio production. And when I say audio production I don't say Audacity. I say recent versions of Ableton Live running on ASIO drivers with windows VSTs and Max 4 Live instruments at 5 ms latency, all of this running through Wine with an amazing Wine managing software called Bottle (hehe). As for gaming,, it's not hard to see people claming they get even more fps than they get with windows. It's not a PopOS thing, it's the Linux ecosystem that is finally getting mature enough to pull this out (this time for real). On top of this, System74, the company behind PopOS who is selling laptops with that OS, are also optimizing the kernel to make sure everything runs super smoothly... I really don't see where your "buggy as hell" is coming from.


Half the time updates require me to restart X (or Wayland, whichever I am using at the moment).

Coming out of sleep is hit or miss. It works more often than I expected but sure as heck isn't 100%.

Graphical corruption slowly sets in with QT based apps over several days and then I have to restart my display server again.

(This actually seems to have gone away with the an update a month ago!)

Not knowing if I'll be able to sit down at my machine and have it boot up I consider buggy as hell.

Oh and certain items in pop shop, just clicking on them crashes the entire app. Every time, 100% reproducible.

Some apps have 2 listings, one of which crashes pop shop to look at, the other of which typically works.

Some apps just cannot be installed through pop shop, just nope, not going to happen.


we don't need an FOSS self-hosted alternative to X. We need a FOSS alternative to the cloud/hosted model such that there's distinction between the two, everything is everywhere for everyone, free. Fediverse, but better. But we're not even at Fediverse ;)


After switching to OnlyOffice I never looked back.


Also, take a look at Heroic (game launcher and library with integrated Wine for GOG/Epic/Amazon Prime), available for Windows too.


Improvements in inference speed would also manifest itself on those bigger models that may only partially fit into GPU VRAM. In some cases, the improvement on the GPU side alone, is strong enough to basically turn what you would previously consider a too-slow-to-be-usable higher quality model, into a faster, usable one.


What's a peleton? Genuine question from a non native English speaker.


I think they mean peloton. It's not English, I believe it is French, meaning a group of bicyclers. In this context it refers to the peloton leading the race.+-


Also you can right-click a playlist and select "Exclude this from musical profiling" (translated from my native language). I did that for many older playlists I'm no longer into, and this seemed to cause a significant steer in weekly recommendations which have since turned to be much more in line with my current tastes.


This doesn't work well with browser extensions which darken web pages color themes (like "Dark Reader"), as all the painting colors will be rendered to black.

I know It might be obvious but having those extension always on I tend to forget they sometime can cause some visibility issues, so I'm leaving this here :)


I have Dark Reader and had no issues.

There's a global setting in Dark Reader to "Detect dark theme" pages -- when that is enabled, this game is automatically detected as using a dark theme so the Dark Reader plugin is disabled for the page.


But the Clone-a-Lisa page does not use a native dark theme, and the problem seem to be just with the paint colors, which in my case for some reason are altered by Dark Reader. It could also be that it was a temporarily glitch as I've noticed that color manipulation by Dark Reader can be inconsistent at times (could be due to DOM loading timing and stuff like that).


Thank you!


Or better: the web ate the OS resources. Or better: an app ate the OS resources.

Which is exactly what resources are for, when eating is performed correctly :)
