Do it

Yeah my Linux laptop contains infinite desktops.

I would say the Steam Deck has been the major impetus for Linux adoption for a couple of years now. I know it sealed the deal for me, when I went into desktop mode and learned that KDE is basically Windows but better lol.

But Linux, particularly Linux gaming, owes so much to Valve/Proton for the direction we’re going.

Welcome! I’ve been using it for a year and a half now, and the thought of going back to Windows makes me sick to my stomach. This is what it feels like personal computers were always supposed to be, before Microsoft came in and shat their capitalism all over everything.

Don’t give up if you run into a snag, there’s tons of documentation online and people willing to help you out. I also think learning how it works is half the fun, but I’m a weird motherfucker.

Just use mullvad. Pay for it with Monero if you’re super paranoid.

Private trackers are no more “secure” than public aside from the barriers to entry… However, it’s not like someone working for the MPAA couldn’t pass an interview or whatever it is they do these days…

I’d still use a VPN if I were still on private trackers.

That said, I use a VPN always, so… 🤷🏻

Who do you send the complaint to?

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.

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. It’s nice.

I literally had the opposite experience lol. Just got NewPipe and it seems to work fine.

Suck shit, Google.

As someone who’s (re) vanced stopped working today, one thing about using my browser instead was the inability to switch to a different app or lock my screen without pausing.

I fucking hate that shit. Made solely so they could sell it as a “bonus feature” for subscribing to their pay service.

Hannibal Lector has entered the chat…

Wait is CDRomance also under threat? Ugh

There are also (somewhat hidden) “hard modes” where the only indicator that you’re in a different mode is that the badge number next to the uBlock icon changes color.

You can have it block all third party scripts by default for every website, or even go all out and basically use it like noscript. Pretty much breaks every individual website though but you can choose individually what to let through and save it based on domain (I believe) so you really only need to do it once.

Still happens.

Animal Well was coded by one guy, and it was ~35mb on release (I think it’s above 100 at this point after a few updates, but still). The game is massive and pretty complex. And it’s the size of an SNES ROM.

Dwarf Fortress has to be one of the most complex simulations ever created, developed by two brothers and given out for free for several decades. The game, prior to adding actual graphics, DF was ~100mb and the Steam version is still remarkably compact.

I am consistently amazed by people’s ingenuity with this stuff.

It seems very common among millennials and Gen Z.

Rotten Tomatoes will usually say where it’s streaming. Or a quick Google search of “(TV show) where streaming” will get you there. At least it used to, Google is shit these days so who knows.

Depending on her age of course… But you can find SRT (subtitle) files for literally almost everything, often in dozens of languages. They’re super tiny too since it’s basically just a txt file
