Is this even an issue anymore? I guess it might depend on what distro you’re using, but I’m using mint and shit’s running flawlessly on modern amd hardware.

I could be that jackass that says “well your first mistake was buying x when you should have bought y.” I’d be correct, but it wouldn’t be helpful to anyone actually trying to deal with this kind of problem.

I’m still “new” to linux myself, despite attempting to use it several times over the years, so I don’t have any actually useful advice. I can however say that linux mint (after getting it installed and updated and upgraded and updated again), runs flawlessly on modern AMD hardware. The package manager even has a gui!

I was going through my own comment history, sorted by “controversial”, and found this. Wish I saw it at the time it was relevant, we could have had a conversation about this.

I stand by what I said, but I might not have said it very well.

There’s no reason why League of Legends could not have a “capture the flag” or “king of the hill” mode. There’s no reason why DOTA2 could not have a deathmatch mode. There’s no reason why Super Monday Night Combat couldn’t have any of these. And there’s no reason why Halo or Unreal or Call of Duty could not have a MOBA mode.

The fact that nobody has done it is not evidence that it cannot be done.

4o, in its current version, is a fucking sycophant. For me, it’s annoying. For the person from that screenshot, its dangerous.

That second link looks promising, it’s more recent than last time I looked into it. Thank you.

Also, I’ve been doing the pasta joke for so long that I forget it’s a bit. “paste” gets autocorrected in my brain to be “pasta”.

Well, yes. But also that only addresses half my comment. I suppose it’s fair since my own comment only addressed half of the previous comment.

trams were the biggest casualty, but not the only.

how about historically? we had rail, and it was great. Most of it was ripped up at the behest of auto manufacturers.

as these tariffs start kicking in, companies are really going to regret not having local inventory.

I don’t want to pasta with middle click. I want to scroll with middle click. I want to pasta with ctrl-v.

if I could copy pasta with ctrl-c and ctrl-v in terminal, then 90% of my hatred of the command line would evaporate instantly.

I don’t think lemmy is big enough to be “next”, but this is still a valid concern.

luddites were not anti progress, they were pro workers rights. today’s usage of the word is insulting to their work.

exactly one comes to mind: blender

leaving reddit was easy. i only had to move myself.

leaving discord will be almost impossible, as I’ll have to move a dozen or so normies whom it took years getting them onto discord in the first place.

sane companies “leak” their upcoming games to influencerson purpose as part of their marketing strategy.

nintendo, once again, chooses to treat their most dedicated fans like shit.

I’m talking about normies, not gamers, and not power users like yourself.

Normies touch their pc for less than one hour a day, because everything they could want is in their phone. Many normies don’t even have internet connections in their home because they exclusively engage with the internet through their phone. I’ve talked to normies who don’t have pcs at all because their ipads do everything they could possibly want.

It’s a fact that there are certain games that simply do not run on linux, because of drm or developer stupidity or any number of reasons. As a separate argument, I’d argue that those games are not worth playing. I used to be a hardcore gamer, I’ve gotten old since then and become a casual. I don’t have time nor energy to dedicate to figuring out why game x won’t run on pc y with configuration z. If the big green play button doesn’t work, I refund the damn thing, and in my almost 2 years of linux usage I have yet to need to do that. Another separate argument is my disdain for AAA games, the lack of ethics in their creation, and the abysmal conditions in which they always launch in these days.

So as to your actual question, can I convince you to switch your gaming pc to linux? No, and I’m not even going to try. If you insist on playing the latest AAA slop that the megacorps shovel at you, then you must have windows and you must continue to allow microsoft to continue to rape your digital existence in order to have crappy entertainment that I wouldn’t dignify with the time of day.

and yet all those “use eu tech” charts always recommend proton products

git is fine. girhub sucks ass and if a I am ever directed to it then that project is dead to me.

How long has palworld been out? getting a patentnow shouldn’t mean dick about palworld.
