I’ve been there. It’s great!

Just install Mint Cinnamon. It’s super approachable and Steam works great on it.

Same. I recently spent a few hours failing to either build gamescope from source or get the flatpak versions of gamescope and steam working together. Others got it working a few months ago, but their steps didn’t work for me and I just decided I’d rather spend my time playing without HDR than keep trying at it. Wouldn’t have been so hard on a disto better supported by gamescope.

Oh good, FREE SLOP FOR ALL!

Same! It’s a good life.

First one ran just fine, so maybe? 🤞

The Vita was such a nice piece of hardware. I don’t understand why just flat out ghosted their own product like they did.

There definitely is, I’m posting from there

8 really doesn’t deserve the hate it gets. It was far better than 10 ever was.

Excellent

Ah man I really liked the OVAs. Wish there were more. Didn’t care for the characterization in the TV series.

It definitely is. As an avid fan of The Far Side, I can’t come up with any connection between it and that quote.

It’s almost like these fucks don’t understand anything about the technology they’re touting

LLM got jokes! This had me in tears. Best AI response I’ve ever read hands down.

This is an informative answer, thank you

But wouldn’t he have to repay such loans?

I’ve been using Windows personally and professionally since 3.1, and Windows 11 was the last straw that finally got me to jump over to Linux for my home PC. I hate what Windows has become but I’ve got a lot of history with it. My experience with Linux (Mint FWIW) has been as smooth as it ever was in Windows, neither of which was perfect. I’m a definite convert from Windows and would encourage most people to consider taking the leap themselves.

I gotta disagree with you about modern Powershell and terminals in Windows, though. Good terminal? Windows Terminal has been around for years now. It’s fast and functional. Whether Powershell’s parameters are “sane” is probably a matter of taste, but I’m definitely willing to stick up for its usability. Yes, the parameter names are much more verbose, but they all get tab completion out of the box, and you don’t have to type the full names at all, just enough of the start of the name to be unambiguous. For personal automation scripts, I think Powershell is way ahead of Bash. Parameters get bound automatically without needing to write for/case loops with getopts. You can write comments at the top of the file that automatically get integrated into Powershell’s help system. Sending objects through the standard pipeline means you spend a lot less time and code just parsing text.

Wait, this is for a Raspberry Pi? I thought we were talking about Linux as a desktop OS. You wouldn’t run Windows on a Raspberry Pi, so while I’m sorry you’re having trouble with your Pi’s fans, I don’t see how that’s relevant to the merits of Linux as a desktop OS.

Is that supposed to be a real example? It’s just that fans are controlled by the BIOS, not the OS, so fixing a fan problem would usually involve either updating your firmware, which I have never seen done via a terminal command, or changing a BIOS setting, which could involve rebooting and holding a key like F2 to enter the BIOS settings menu (not Linux, usually a quasi-graphical mouse-driven UI) to change something there.
