Doesn’t hurt to try. I weened myself off Windows by using linux every single day and fiddling around for a few hours. Eventually it just clicked and i very rarely boot up Windows nowadays for apps that will not run on linux. Good luck!

Pacific Drive for me! Played the demo and it seemed a pretty chill scavenging and driving game. I’ll get to it once I’m done with The Outer Worlds and its DLC.

Sure, their service can stream VR “over the cloud”, but come on. With the added latency I don’t see this being useful for anything other than watching a movie over VD. What kind of games wouldn’t make you violently sick if you plopped additional 30ms or more on top of the already existing encoding/decoding/networking delay? Is this an ad?

So, you substituted fuck with fsck in a very hostile phrase and are surprised people get the wrong impression? People misreading your username is not the issue here.

omg! I had this same exact shit happen when I tried to delete the game folder for a game pass game. I spent literal hours escalating permissions, shifting ownership around and banging my head against the desk. Nothing from within Windows allowed me to gain sufficient power to delete that folder. That made me realize I didn’t own the computer I was using, Microsoft did. Live-cd booting into Ubuntu made for a quick resolution, though.

Man, I miss the banners. That was good wave of nostalgia.

If only there was a way to provide a video stream to the TV without the internet! We’d be saved!

Factorio is one of the few games that cause the Tetris Effect for me.

Maybe. But I just want syrup for my pancakes.

I had issues with a new version of glibc that prevented me from working on music in Ardour on Manjaro. I then proceeded to force-downgrade glibc (in the hopes of letting me get back to work) and that broke sudo and some other things, which I found out after rebooting. That was an interesting learning experience. Now I snapshot before I do stupid stuff. :]

For me it’d be Starfield and Diablo 4. I do have faith that Blizzard will turn the ship around and reel me back in to D4 later down the line. I have zero hope for Starfield ever being good, though. It is a fundamentally broken game I have no hope Bethesda will be able to fix, ever.

Honestly, we should have a feature to just block an instance outright.

Finally! Now to also force phonemakers to universally provide bootloader unlocks so we can put our own ROMs on our devices once the software support ends.

I’m self-hosting a bunch of stuff all over the place. I’ve a pi-hole, NAS and a bunch of Discord bots on an e-waste rescue nettop. Then I have a linux server running Ubuntu Server with more Discord bots, Nextcloud, syncplay, some basic websites, including an Element-im stickerpicker. I used to run a Matrix homeserver too, but I got fed up with maintaining that. It has been quite the learning experience and it has been absolutely worth it.

Man, I love seeing comments like this, I get a good chuckle out of it every time. The wildly different experiences I’ve read about almost every linux distro out there just makes it all seem … shit. You could have a great time with distro X and inevitably there will be somebody crawling out of the woodwork to crap on your parade. :D
