For gaming, I honestly agree. Things are better with Lutris but running programs in their native OS is always going to be a better experience. Still, I think it’s very cool that you can run any of that in Linux. Valve is making some awesome progress with that…

Xubuntu… It’s light weight and pretty much everything is kind of Debian or kind of redhat anyway…

The charm of rolling my own died off when I got old enough to buy better hardware if I wanted to go faster…

If it really bothers you, I think you could set up authentik (or some other idp) and point all your login needs at it… Though, it’s not going to make things easier for you, just the opposite. Probably a good learning experience though.

Investment… It’s a bit too simple to just say money, but investment wraps it up better. Chips may not be open source, but they are physically there to be taken apart and reproduced. That’s what a lot of those Chinese knockoff chips are (baring the ones where the designs are outright stolen). The only thing that stops you from doing the same thing as those bootleg fabs is being willing to soak time and resources into the project. It’s just a big project. Like a Bloomfield i7 (which is old and fairly large) has 731 million transistors in it…

I’m with you! I did the same thing before a flight to Australia. Ate it before security thinking I’d get on the plane and fall asleep. Of course the flight was delayed and I was way higher than I meant to be so I sat in a chair staring at the gate for a couple hours so I didn’t miss the plane. It’s hard to get edibles right…

Those events add up too. Even if you don’t have a lot to say at the first one. You’ll be able about jade carving at the park cleanup day or whatever is next. Also, outside events are extra good if you are the flavor of introvert who needs physical space…

On the upside, you could probably satisfy length and complexity requirements with just one emoji. ;)

It’s upside down! Why are we not taking about the real issue. The disks will slide out…

Should be a picture of Trump and all the people he left for them…

If you’re going to start playing around with multiple OS’s. Is really in your best interest to start using a data partition. Or better yet, start keeping your files somewhere else entirely and then backing that place up…

You can’t really brick a PC by doing anything to the boot drive though. You may screw up the OS, but the bios is there to make sure you can boot off something else if need be…

Me too. On a 21" crt that I was so proud of. ;) it was the game in town before gnome. I do remember it fondly though. I may take it around the block for old times sake…

It’s my favorite of the options so far, I wish I wouldn’t default to lemmy.world, but that may be pilot error…
