No, no it’s not

Vim doesn’t suck any less because something else is worse

Because *guns are bad, mmmkay?* /s

Yes to your entire comment

for a car that can’t get you to the next town and back on a weekend.

Hyperbolic much?

Alternatively, a docked Steam Decl with the Grayjay flatpak works pretty well. You can even add it to Steam for easy access through game mode

In some states, cyclists legally get the entire lane. And when you're going up to a low visibility intersection, you want to be in the middle of the road to maximize the angles that you're visible

You might want to try a service based on XMPP instead of Matrix due to how Matrix caches all the chats its users are in. If you want to go the XMPP route, Movim is the most similar to Discord. For streaming, I’ve heard of Owncast as a FOSS alternative. I don’t stream nor do I watch them, so please don’t consider this more than pointing out what’s available

I'm trying boss, but there's stuff I need to manually get sorted out before the big switch and I don't have a lot of time & energy to spare. I'm getting close though

I also choose this guy’s skin suit

I could say the same to you. You’re the one who sent a link without checking if it was relevant to the conversation. Moat people would accept that they made a faux pas and quietly leave the thread. Instead, you decided to get defensive and snarky about it. Grow up.

Good luck getting Marathon to run on that without bugs. The distro won’t be getting the needed driver updates for 6 months.

No, you fuck off. You’re the one going on about “the performance doesn’t matter when you can’t set up the gaming distro”. For Luke and Elijah, setting up CachyOS and Bazzite went fine. When they did have issues, the specific distro choice wasn’t the cause. YOU’RE the one whinging about “why don’t they recommend Ubuntu!” Linus going with an Ubuntu-based distro is the cause of half of his problems, and switching to Ubuntu itself wouldn’t have fixed them. Do I think the video was perfect? No. But your takeaway from the video is ridiculous

I think the real point is that Pop!_OS (and most Ubuntu based distros) shouldn’t be recommended for gaming.

It’s been around since ~2022 compared to Mint in ~2006 A distro that’s been around for 3-4 years is plenty of time to be up and running. Bazzite runs great and has been around a similar amount of time. Another thing that people don’t factor in: documentation gets outdated. When I was trying to set up my Ubuntu server, a lot of documentation on what I needed was 11-12 years old, and the syntax has changed since then. For newbies, this may as well just be “figure it out yourself”.

True, but I wish Linus had tried switching distros. A lot of his problems are stemming from using an Ubuntu-based distro and COSMIC being a brand new DE that still has a bug of bugs to quash. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks they do a collab with Wendel to go over what were the causes of their problems and final recommendations. Sure, the listicles for Linux distros are useless, but having a conclusion from trusted voices informed by people with a lot of experience (aka Luke and Wendel) would do a lot of good by cutting through the bullshit.

Yeah, don’t partition your drive just to dual boot Linux. While Baxzite has in install option for only patching the bootloader when Windows breaks it, having to run it after most Windows updates is still not something you should sign up for

Apparently it is, given what happened in the video! Linus’s problems in the video stem from him installing an Ubuntu based distro. His problems on Discord have been resolved in newer versions, which Ubuntu and Pop!_OS don’t ship with yet, while distros based on Fedora and Arch do. And guess what? I said to install Bazzite, a Fedora-based distro. The other guy’s (not Luke) problem with screen scaling / framerate is mosy likely due to the HDMI forum refusing to allow support for HDMI 2.1 on Linux, limiting his bitrate. HDMI can’t do 4k/120+hz without that suppory

I had looked to possible anonymous payment methods for Proton and found nothing before. I asked because you were making a claim against what I had found. Not my fault you made a false claim without proof

Way to ignore the BIGGEST point in my comment to hyper focus on a seconsary point just to seem smart. Do I think someone should pick a distribution just because it has GameScope? No. But do you know which distros include these optimizations? It’s the distros that include Nvidia drivers in the package so users don’t have to update them in the command line. It’s the distros that use Fedora and Arch to get those driver updates out in a timely manner so you’re not stuck waiting 6 fucking months to not have a newly released game not be a buggy flickering mess. not worth risking fucking up your entire experience for! This is your key disconnect. You see the OS as an experience. Most people don’t. They see it as a tool to get want they want. You might be fine with only playing 5+ year old 16-bit indies on an AMD card. But guess what? MOST PEOPLE DON’T DO THAT. Most people have an Nvidia card and don’t want to buy an AMD card just to use a new OS. And a lot of people want to play newly released games from time to time. You know what distro sucks for both those use cases? Ubuntu. I don’t care if it’s your favorite, those are just the facts. Deal with it.

Because Ubuntu is really slow to update, which means you might have to wait months for driver updates to play the newest games. Also, a lot of people have Nvidia cards, and updating their drivers is a pain on Ubuntu. Most gamers are best served by an Arch or Fedora based distro that can include Nvidia drivers automatically.

Step 1: Install Bazzite Step 2: Open Steam or Lutris, which is already packaged with Bazzite, and use it to install a game Step 3: Click play Not fucking hard dude. Quit being a prick.

Gaming distros can still do general tasks. They’re marketed as “gaming distros” because they have extra features like GameScope and optimizations from Glorious Eggroll. That’s valuable if you want to get all the gaming performance you can

If you have space in your laptop for a second SSD you could dual boot

I don’t see any anonymous payment methods on this page. In contrast, Tuta and Mullvad both have anonymous payment methods Tuta has a 3rd party provider that you can send cash or Monero to and get a gift card to pay for your account. Mullvad will directly take cash and Monero.

Because of this comment

People in CA and CO: this shit is why people hate your states. Get better politicians ffs.

the haute bourgeoisie. The 1% of the 1%. The painful irony being that the bourgeoisie were still below the nobles

Good thing I’ve never made a post on LinkedIn. The only thing I’ve done is search for jobs on there

Is there a link you could share?

It’s lighthouses in low earth orbit. Uh… I definitely wouldn’t call the geosationary orbit “low”

Tbh, not a huge fan of the pick. I had various Motorola Droid phones for years before switching to Samsung. All of the Droids were horribly underpowered after 2 years and the batteries only had 1/2 of their original capacity by that point. Then I got a Samsung S10e and it lasted 5+ years. I seriously hope Motorola has gotten rid of their planned obsolescence policy in the past few years. It’s nice that there’s going to be a second vendor option for GrapheneOS soon, but I wish it was a better vendor

Don’t buy LG anything. Everything Ive bought from them has suckes

The height of her head is the same and she has the same jaw position in both shots, yet multiple features of her face are larger on the left. It’s a filter

Whatever Best Buy used as a filter to enlarge her eyes creeps me out. At least the Game Stop version looks like an actual person
