No sweat, it happens! Especially with the way the world and life can be right now, it really is just the most normal response sometimes.
Just don't take it out on my favourite linux distro again and we'll be fine 😋
Also don't bother with Manjaro. Its developers live in a stalemate of getting nothing done, while basic things like their web site's SSL certs lapse. It's supposed to be the 'easy' Arch distro, but Cachy honestly beats it on this goal so there's nothing here worth any time.
I wouldn't bother with SteamOS. It may be good, but Valve's main focus with it will always be their own hardware. I wouldn't be confident in being a priority for them as a desktop user, especially because there's so much good competition here already that they play nice with anyway.
But if there's a perfect Linux distro out there for you, then there's probably at least 5 that are 99% as good. Don't stress too much about the finer points between them. I reckon I'd be anywhere between 99% and 101% as happy on Fedora, which I'm trying out on my laptop.
No idea about Nvidia GPUs, nor how Unity is here. I'm more of a Godot-Mono person, which works great if you want an indicator of how C# is here these days.
My AMD CPU works great here, nice and easy.
My 9070 XT had some problems at first, but the drivers matured and now it's excellent.
Cachy really sets you up great out of the box. And don't be intimidated by the fact it's Arch. If anything, the fact it's rolling release is what makes it stable since it gets you actual bug fixes faster. Just keep it updated and you'll be fine.
I don't think I spent any time in the terminal getting it installed, set up, and a game running in Steam. If I did it was pretty minimal. I mostly ventured in to learn it. But the package manager is super nice to use in a terminal, to the point the gui just sounds more annoying honestly.
If you just want it to feel like Windows then KDE Plasma is probably more important than the distro, and loads ship with that DE.
Anyway uh +1 for CachyOS. It's my first time maining Linux. And it went so well and easy that 3 months in I started messing about and switched to a tiling WM too.
A meme against paypro censorship with the MasterCard logo. The red section says "We Hate Gay People," the yellow section says "We Hate Women's Bodies," the middle reads: "We Fucking Hate You." Text: "There are some things money can't buy, hating artists and women's bodies? Priceless."
This continues to be true as well. The only thing keeping corpos from trying to monetize and control the fuck out of the fandom is all the weird shit in it. Support your weird friends. You don't have to click on their FA page my dudes.
ok but counter point this is probably more likely than ever en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragging
at this point it feels like a test. they're betting on people being scared to leave windows. so they can make it what they want it to be and not what you want out of it
it scares me how much people who can't code think llms can
Kansas has, overnight, invalidated the drivers’ licenses of trans people, a pointless cruelty that upends their lives
If Brits think “it won’t happen here” think again! Groups in the U.K. who want the same thing are routinely invited to consult with Labour and normalised in our press!
This really is peak "it will stop if the government just bans it" energy
People support those with disabilities, learning difficulties and mental health.
Until it’s an inconvenience.
Be better.
Turns out companies are generally not good at the thing they're in business for. The fact some of them make something good sometimes is a miracle.
doodlemancy @doodlemancy on cohost (rip): "the script at this point is just company: we're going to do something really extremely bad for our customers and possibly even people who aren't our customers. we think this is good an enormous, furious internet mob: we hate this company: we'd like to clarify our intentions. just to be clear: we're doing the same thing but we'd like you to hate it a little less now"
lot of negativity towards AI lately, but consider :
are these tools ethical or environmentally sustainable? No.
*but* do they enable great things that people want? Also no.
*but* are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no.
maybe you're not being negative *enough*
I honestly wonder if this series is dead because they'll never outdo what they did 20 years ago
are these seminars just 80% "please use it it's so good please use it we need a market please 😭😭😭"
they can't be rightfully angry at us if they're chilling :)
Pencil and paper has no off switch, and it's weird that that's become an up side
It's not beholden to software running in billion dollar data centers, sold to you on a subscription, run by companies that still aren't profitable. None of that sounds remotely dependable
An episode that I don't think got even half way to just how grim that shit is
BUT I MISS YOU
I'm not at nfc but I still miss you 😭
Curmudgeonly elder people (millennials) are always harping on about how good the internet used to be -- It was never perfect but we never had apps on the phone with us at all times that were doing business with surveillance moguls
Cancel your nitro, it's about time we find an alternative anyway
making sure if you need a hospital trip on holiday that the doctors will spit in your iv as soon as they see that card
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
ok but I decided you're on my social network to have an open conversation with the people who don't engage in good faith and I think you forgot that
