LOL

I’ve been using it that long too, and I suppose you’re right.

• Reads this on his iOS phone
• While playing modern games on fedora workstation 42
• While all my backups and containers run on a synology nas
• with a literal blank 2nd hard drive that used to have windows 10 on it but now has nothing
• while his computer illiterate wife uses her hp laptop just fine with linux

Ya… Go f yourself Microsoft. You used to be the cool kid in town. Now you’re trash.

I bought a psvr2 for my ps5. It’s really impressive but has three major flaws.

1. it’s too hot. It seals against your face with a rubber gasket and turns into a sweat machine.
2. vr in general causes motion/simulation sickness. Takes all the fun right out of the game.
3. there’s no games for it. Even the “good” games suck. Beat saber being the exception to the rule.

Ok this is interesting. I wasn’t aware flatpaks could update on their own. I thought it was either “flatpak update” OR the package manager gui helper kicked off flatpak updates. I’ll have to dig into this on fedora. I’ve been running arch/endeavor for so long, it never occurred to me fedora may be auto updating flatpaks.

I agree. I’ll check and report back tonight once I get home from work. It happens often enough, I might even be able to catch it in the act.

I agree that’s what it sounds like. Except I haven’t updated anything - or if something did update - it happened on its own.

Obligatory “learn to use your computer and install another OS” post. You’ll probably find that your computer becomes MORE useful, not less.

I’m out of the loop. Why not virtualbox?

Another vote for fedora here.

I use regular workstation. I like gnome so that fits. And I found when I set up arch exactly the way I liked, I was just recreating the fedora experience ;)

It’s not bleeding edge but I don’t think anyone really needs that unless you just bought a brand new vid card or mobo etc. If your components are common and 6mo+ old fedora is new enough.

I really don’t have issues with it. It seems to have become the new Ubuntu (install it and it just works).

Openrgb is what you want. It’s tricky to figure out though. It’s not just going to recognize the device and poof magic. You’ll have to fiddle with HOW it’s connected - through your rgb header, bios settings, separate controller etc. Once it’s recognized, you may have to play with the settings for how many lights it has etc.

When I first used it, it thought it didn’t do anything. Then I learned and got it to do everything.

I enjoyed the difficulty of hollow knight. It was tough as nails in spots but I felt fair. I also dug the art/music/atmosphere. It was just unique enough yet familiar.

Yes I’m a big fan obviously.

I read what sounded like an intelligent follow-up on this subject. But I’m not smart enough to verify for myself, so I still refrain from using ventoy - even though I’d love to start using it again.

It was basically “wacky code from all over the place, poor coding practices, can’t find anything bad, but methods used are sus af”

Says one dude I read on the internet :/

I will try it! Never heard of it. I also hate the markdown nonsense.

Their insistence on sueing the world of emulation ensures I’ll never buy another Nintendo console ever again. (And I’ve bought all of them so far). Their actions cause the opposite effect of what they want - they are creating pirates.

It’s much better these days - at least it works fine on arch and fedora. I wouldn’t worry about nvidia on Linux. That said, I’d go AMD for another reason - $. There’s just no reason to spend the kind of money nvidia wants when you can get something just a tad slower for 1/4 the price. AMD makes cards that can drive a huge monitor at high fps.

Bottom line: whatever is fine.

And the sunk costs aren’t even a thing tbh. You can just go pirate your books with zero moral dilemmas since you actually paid for it and they took it away.

No, but it’s a set it and forget it thing. I pay zero attention to it and it just runs. Easy means it runs more if I had to check what to mine and switch and blah blah, well I’m lazy…. So for me - ya it’s better. ;)

I went to 11 and have gone back to 10. The only thing it does is mine crypto coins (I need a heater in that room anyway - whatever). Everything else works better in Linux.

11 was fine until they repeatedly kept breaking their updates. Next time I have to reload that os on that drive it’ll be hiveos. It won’t be as convenient as the auto switchers like nicehash and their alternatives. But ya, windows sux these days.

I’ll wait until it’s heavily on sale and that it’s proven itself to actually play on Linux. Just like I did for Elden ring. Otherwise I’d pay them full price on day one.

This WAS a day one buy for me. Now I’ll pass thanks.
