Surely use-case is important? Someone running a server that’s on 24/7 vs. someone running it on a laptop or desktop that they shut down every day.

Conan is one of the funniest humans alive right now, no joke.

I imagine it varies wildly by distro, hardware, use-case, etc.

Linux systems usually consume more energy than identical systems with other operating systems

Is this true?

I got a Framework, and the 16:10 aspect ratio allows for the two bars without messing up most applications as they’re mostly geared toward 16:9. Full screen games go over both bars.

lol

FLOSS software

Lol

For some reason I’ve been having issues too, but I started adding this to my launch options in the game properties in Steam and it seems to work for several games. Dunno if this is the same issue as you though, but maybe worth a shot:

PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command%

Also use Wayland.

Good response, but just to let people know: Alanon is run by The “Church” of Scientology. An abusive cult that trafficks humans and ruins people’s lives.

Reddit was always better than Digg too. I prefer the smaller community.

Unbelievable. I mean look at this…

Err. Hmmm.

Linux is not an option due legacy software compatibility - they do more than use a browser.

I think you’d be surprised. But obviously this isn’t what you’re looking for.

Could you imagine if it was though? Shit would be dope.

I switched to EndeavourOS (no dual boot to fall back on needed since I received a “work laptop” with Windows 11) about a year ago, first time using Linux period, let alone as a daily driver, and all I can say is that it has been a wonderful experience. I will never use Windows on a personal machine again.

Full disclosure: I have a brother who has been using Linux for a while that helped me through the install process, and basically showed me how to search Google (and the Arch wiki) if I run into any issues, and I have yet to run into anything serious enough to require his attention (which I’m sure he’s thankful for). Small things here or there that I’ve been able to fix myself have gone a long way to helping me grasp (at least a little bit) what’s going on under the hood.

Additionally, while I don’t have a background in comp sci, I grew up during a time where we needed to know how computers worked beyond “press the button on the screen for the thing to start”, so I was already pretty comfortable with the command line and all that.

So I had a little help, but I’m not exaggerating when I say that I haven’t needed his direct help since installation.

As far as games are concerned, most of my PC gaming these days is on my Steam Deck, and even on there I’ve gotten games that Steam labels “unsupported” to work. For example, Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition with DSFix works great despite being “unsupported” on Steam.

As others have said, check out protondb.

Oh, they will likely work. Proton has come quite a long way

Too bad all of the hippies got disillusioned and became CEOs. Unless I’m mistaken, every generation since has gone more to the left on aggregate. Fucking boomers.

Is that the only advantage at this point? I feel like you’d have to be downloading/seeding some shady fucked up shit if just using a VPN isn’t enough. Though maybe I’m thinking about this from the pov of someone who mostly leeches their torrents.

And he’s not going to Mars for now. In NASA’s moon mission the spaceship is basically an orbital fuel truck.

And my (admittedly lacking) understanding is that the rest of the contractors on that project fucking hate working with the guy.

I didn’t do that, you just did. Try to grasp a little nuance.

On a systemic level, “white,” is power. Power often means negative, yes.

In the US, are Italian Americans considered white? Yes. How about Irish? Hard to think of many people whiter than the Irish. I say this as an American of Irish descent.

And yet, their inclusion in this definition is relatively recent. Up until recently, Irish and Italian people were decidedly not white. And yet, the color of their pale skin…? I don’t understand?

So clearly, the term (at the systemic level, obviously, I’m not talking about individual racism) is elastic. It is culturally defined in the context of the times.

At a systemic level, “racism” implies oppression by that power. Oppression against “whiteness” at a systemic level is not possible because there is no power in a position to oppress whites. By definition, they’re at the top.

I fully expect you to just gloss over everything I said and call me racist again. Maybe someone will read this and think twice about how they view these things.

I’m the racist? The fuck lol

Calling out the person claiming Indian CEOs are greedy because they’re Indian, for being racist is the actual racist.

Go fuck yourself.
