My hardware (GPU) is literally too old and unsupported according to Bazzite itself xD

Never went with Win 11. Tried jump to Linux, played with it for a week I believe, quite recently. Tinkering aside (mostly due to learning so not so bad, last distro change I got it all up to where I wanted it within an hour after install, because I finally knew what I was doin xD) my main problem is that Linux doesn’t really use my specs well.

I have an older system and on Windows, I can punch above my league with running shit like Hogwarts Legacy or Fallout 76 on my i5-4460 and GTX 750, while on Mint, CachyOS and Nobara Fallout 76 struggled hard to run fluidly, liked to flicker and freeze, and Hogwarts Legacy couldn’t even get into menu. And I am not really willing to give up on these two for now.

But other than that I found that no matter the distro, shit just…works. The worst part I think was that drivers for my old GPU are shitty on linux, but if you have in hardware from the last decade, I’d say just try it. All apps and shit you need is mostly handled by package repositories (something like app stores) and if your software isn’t there, check it’s website, maybe they have .deb or .rpm packages which are pretty much Linux .exe files. Or a simple command to download it via terminal.

I have old Brother printer and even tho Linux community labels it papwerweight, Brother actually has full drivers for linux installed via copy-paste commands they give you on their website. With full instructions how to do it step by step. So really, if you didn’t try it yet, consider.

…hey, I’m a newb to Linux but I tried Mint and don’t they have like two-three app managers plus they can install .deb files? Like, .deb and .rpm are basically Linux take on .exe installers.

That comes from using Linux for, overall, a week.

Was raisied with everything - media, people, history teachers - calling them Indians and I automatically look for context each time lol. With no context, native americans are the default for me, with people of India being called simply peopple of India xD

Doesn’t help my native language has another word for people of India than Indians. xD

On the other hand…the same private entity wouldn’t buy the means to produce renewable power if they didn’t want to power their AI center. So in the ends, nothing changes, and the power couldn’t be used for other purposes because it simply wouldn’t be generated.

However, as they did and are using it to promote themselves, they are influencing others to also adopt renewable energy policy in a way, no matter how small.

No, normally I am not that optimistic, but I am trying ^^"

1. I wonder how many enemies Dell made with that lol
2. AI chatbots work as customer side if implemented well (if chatbot does not have options, it won’t work well) and if customers don’t knee-jerk into repeating they want human without checking it’s options first (which, understandably, came from dealing with badly implemented chatbots). Their search is quite alright for polling public opinions (useful for example if you are lazy and wanna find overall popular film from some genre - it can summarise reddit, google, few review sites and spit the effects at you).

I know, I know. We are anti-AI here. But please, don’t be simply cynic. This tech has it’s uses, but is so badly used across everything that it’s hard not to be negative of it.

Gyroscope, fine, I can understand them trying to understand how the toy is utilised.

GPS? Fuck off.

CAMERA?! What in the ever loving…

Think about it like this - normal (and actually beliving) people do care what he says. But do rich people do? You know, people running companies or countries that are used to abusing absolutely everyone and everything? xD

For once? Every time xAI doesn’t manage to wrangle this little, amazingly rebelious piece of software down it goes to town on US right lol. If anything, the fact all grew to it being subdued all the time is kinda sad. xD

Sooo…it’s not India going up, it’s everything above it crashing down? xD

I am like 30% sure that especially this one was thrown in to underline the ridiculousnes of it all. Like, doesn’t MAGA folk go to these lengths lately?

But I needed both context and to notice over the board approach and I am still not even sure, dammit xD

Poor, poor flight sim folks. Their fantasy of stewardess calling someone able to land in case of problems just got demolished xD

He-heeeey! I wonder how would Trump & Co. play this down, with him hard at work suck- I mean working on relations with Russia.

Okay, to be fair, from what I understood they tried offering them jobs at the other mill, but only 10 accepted. I don’t know why - whether it was too far or something - but they tried to do right by their employees.

That doesn’t change the fact of being dense as fuck and still wanting to vote for the orange rapist, but yeah.

In one article I saw they claimed that they didn’t aim for Bluesky (it acted on it’s own tho) because of low user numbers.

Fediverse is pretty much nonexistent next to that so…yeah. They don’t care because it’s literally not worth the trouble for them xD

Fixxd: Back up alarm turned into active drive alarm.

One of the saddest truths about aggresive vegans is that, no matter what they say or write, normal folk won’t care. Yes, we skin 'em, we fry 'em, we eat 'em. Exactly. No matter how you dress that, that’s normal. And you trying to dress it as disgusting is only making it sound more epic.

Hey, what you descibe is a power user. And that’s valid, but power users also don’t tend to have problems with linux, and they ain’t anywhere close to majority of computer users. Also, to even download a game nowadays you need to have store installed so that’s crossed out, and then game drivers are installed by the store so (or added to cd installer in ye olde times) so wtf you on about.

But again. You are power user. Linux is, IMO, better than Windows for power users because you can do whatever with it. Windows is, however, better for granny, weird office lady and that quite dense kid who, while wanting to use computers, cannot be bothered to learn anything more than where the web browser icon sits.

Is it? For most users, windows takes care of absolutely everything and if something lacks, just google, download and done, especially because most software is written for windows. With Defender they even removed need of antivirus for a normal user.

If something lacks on Linux, half the time you need to say hello to console. You also need to learn about software alternatives, because there’s high probability that the default, well known option won’t work.

To both of which most people will say no to from the very start.

Like, literally. I have not sent a private email since 2010 xD
