We need to fuck off with the fines. If the penalty for something is a fine, it just becomes the price of doing said illegal thing, and doesn’t de-incentivise it at all. People need to start going to jail, or else the crimes of these companies are just going to get worse and worse because there’s no reason for them not to. Like, oh no we were fined 1.3M but we made 5M from doing the illegal thing so it’s ultimately worth it.
Tried it out cause of curiosity and the allure of not being subject to a corporation’s whims. Discovered package managers, aur, how customizatable the whole experience is and never looked back
I still dual boot Windows for a select couple games that don’t run on Linux (anticheat) but I try to use it as little as possible cause it just feels gross.
I currently use Windows 10 and I’d like to try out Linux. My plan is to set up a dual boot with OpenSUSE tumbleweed and KDE Plasma. I’ve read so many different opinions about choosing a distro, compatibility with gaming and Nvidia drivers, and personal issues with the ethos of different companies like Canonical. I value...
Yeah that’s exactly how I do it. Never had a problem with dual booting Windows, just make sure your Linux drive is the default boot drive and then you can select Linux or Windows in GRUB/systemd-boot
Essentially, yeah. Most programs will install to your root directory, but all your personal configs and personal files will be in your home directory.
What I’d personally recommend is using Timeshift to automatically keep backups if your home directory on a separate partition, then if you want to switch distros or if you need to reinstall for whatever reason you can use Timeshift to restore your home directory pretty easily, as long as your new install uses the same file system.
Bitwig and Blender work great on Linux, as well as most games. MS Office and the proprietary apps will need a separate Windows install. Wine is a compatibility layer that essentially translates the Windows files into something that your Linux OS can use. It works great for some things, like games, but isnt recommended/doesn’t work for others, like Office or Adobe suite. Personally I’d recommend finding the alternatives for the programs you need on Windows and trying them out, while keeping the original programs in your Windows install. You can get used to the workflow of the new programs and decide if switching is a viable thing for you. And if not, hey now you’re comfortable with another set of programs just in case you need them in the future.
Yeah I kinda lost interest in Distrotube when he started randomly pulling out guns in videos…
Like, I don’t care what your political views are as long as you make good content and stay on topic, and keep your views and work separate yaknow. Like hell, if you want to make separate videos about that then by all means, but I’m watching a tutorial on how to set up openbox I don’t care about your guns and freedoms
What an odd way to phrase that lol. The Expanse is one of my favourite shows, and I’ve heard nothing but positivity about it online. The way you said this makes it seem it’s generally considered a bad show…
I think it’s been confirmed that season 6 is the last one, at least for now. I really hope they adapt the last 3 books in the future though, I love this series so much
To be honest, I haven’t watched season 6 yet despite it having been out for over a year now, cause I don’t want it to end 😭
Burger King poutine is the ultimate shit tier. The gravy tastes like fucking vegetable soup for some reason. McDonalds is not much better but at least it’s edible.
Here’s my fast food poutine tier list:
S- A&W - ( I gobble this shit up like turkey dinner. Happy Thanksgiving, btw)
A- Smoke’s, NYF (similar chains, I would give NYF the edge here though as their fries and gravy are more appealing. Smoke’s has more options though, which doesn’t affect my ranking whatsoever because I exclusively eat classic poutine, but it is worth mentioning.)
B- Arby’s, Dairy Queen (Arby’s curly fries suit poutine well, they pick up a lot of gravy and cheese. Dairy Queen just does all elements well.)
C- Wendy’s (the fries are great, but the rest is always weak)
D- McDonald’s (I never order it, the gravy is meh at best and McDonald’s fries are not suited to poutine)
F- Burger King (the fries are fine but the gravy is the weirdest shit and ruins the whole experience. I’ve ordered it a couple times to be sure and have never finished it. I don’t go to Burger King for this reason)
My biggest problem is a Magic player is the fact that this company makes so much fucking money selling cardboard, and they can’t even be fucked to make foils that don’t curl the second you pull them out of a pack. They managed it 20 years ago, but nope, too fucking difficult nowadays I guess
I’ve gone on medication that makes drinking kind of problematic, but I really love beer of all kinds, IPAs, sours, etc. I like flavorful and varied beers. I’d like to try some interesting non-alcoholic options. What is your favorite non-alcoholic beer?
Ah yes, windows where I have to somehow figure out how to install the drivers for my network adapter before I can actually connect to the internet, on top of having to go to a different website for each device that needs a driver to find the correct one, download it and install it.
Vs Linux, where network (and most essential) drivers are baked into the kernel, and all other drivers (for peripherals, etc) can be had via a package manager, where you can often find free and open source solutions. Also, video drivers are automatically installed with the OS (provided you are using a distro with a proper graphical installer for ease of use, cough use Endeavour cough), and automatically updated when the system is updated.
I was a windows user up until about a year and a half ago, and had this issue as recently as Windows 10. I had to use my phone as a tether to go download the drivers for my TP-Link Archer T6E. Also had the issue with my MSI z97m Gaming where I had to go find drivers for the built-in wired network adapter, again using my phone as a tether, on Windows 8.1
As most PC gamers will have noticed right away when launching the game, there is no Starfield FOV (Field of View) slider in the game's settings. This is unfortunate since the default setting appears to be 75, which is lower than preferable, especially for those who experience motion sickness when playing in first-person view....
It’s Loss, a comic that blew up as a meme some years ago. In this particular instance, they are taking the comic and simplifying it into the Roman numerals I, II, II, L, which are 1, 2, 2 and 50
My bet is it’ll be great on PS5. People are already saying controller support is really well implemented on PC, and it runs really nicely on a range of hardware
So I have a situation. I really want to switch to Linux as my main gaming/production OS but need the Adobe suite as I am a graphic designer. Adobe is the golden standard for this industry (and likely to always be) so while Gimp and Inkscape might work, they are not feasible for my career. I also know that there will be...
Dual boot is really your only option aside from straight up staying on Windows. You can game and general use on Linux, then switch to Windows when it’s time to work. Not the most ideal and I know you said you don’t want to do that, but if you rely on Adobe products (which sadly many people do) you kind of need a Windows install or a Mac.
Another, much more expensive, option is to get a MacBook (or another laptop I suppose, not sure if the goal is to fully cut out Windows) and have that at your desk for your Adobe uses, and have Linux on your desktop. Not really feasible for most people but I don’t really know your situation so I thought I’d throw it out there.

Yeah they’ve openly said that they wish they didn’t have to do the clickbaiting, but that the effect it has on their total views/revenue in undeniable. It’s kinda just how YouTube is at this point, adapt or die
Usually when making edibles you have to bake the raw bud to decarb, or activate, it. Or else the weed doesn’t do anything and you just have gross cookies. A dry herb vape does the same thing, but you get high in the process
