So a complicated set of terminal commands and alternatives you need to have memorized ahead of time. That’s definitely the linux solution. You can do it, but no average user would ever be able to when they need it.
As a point of contrast. In Linux Mint you press the eject button. That’s it.
The other guy was getting into more detail for people who want it.
Whelp, time to shut down the whole computer! (Or just yank it and hope you didn’t do anything bad, lol)
Linux Mint has an eject button that allows any cached writes* to finish, prevents new ones from starting, and un-mounts it. It’s actually important to use the eject button as flash drives are slow, and the write cache can obscure the fact that a file isn’t done writing yet.
*Copying a file will add it into the write cache while it writes out to the disk. As soon as it is in the cache, you can use the file as if it was already done copying, including making changes.
Signal? No.
I’m running Signal right now on Linux Mint.
Can you run Battlefield 6?
This isn’t even a Windows or Linux thing: Why the hell do you want Saudi Arabia and Jared Kusher* to have kernel-level access to your machine? Why, why is that worth it for just a game?
*I really wish I was joking with this part
Remember when the sales pitch of The Cloud was it would always be online?
I 100% get what you are saying. But I’m also 100% fine with voting with my wallet by not supporting game developers that demand kernel-level access to my machine.
Think about the EA stuff. You install one of their games, and now Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner* have kernel-level access to your machine. Why, why the hell is that worth it for just a game?
*I wish I was joking
Should i unplug everything other than the new drive, and have the installer do it automatically?
This is what I did. Made the installer mostly a bunch of hitting ‘next’.
Plus, I don’t trust Windows to not fuck up my Linux drive, so when I used to dual boot, I would only have one or the other in the computer. Though, haven’t booted into the Windows drive for months now.
The chart is based on ProtonDB, which covers all Steam games.
Additionally, thin pieces of concrete are very brittle. It is much more common to use molten aluminum.
He did make a new, expanded version about two years ago. I’m probably going to give the mod a go. :)
They already made this remake. You can buy it on Steam for $10.
Remake #2 is getting kinda lazy…
Especially if these pears are shipped by sea. Then it’s even worse.
Shipping via sea is the cheapest and least greenhouse gas producing way to ship things. With the only exception being pipes, which are significantly better than ships on both fronts. However, we shouldn’t be shipping peaches via pipe. ;p
please don’t mention Heroic or Lutris because they barely work either
Odd, been enjoying Silksong and earlier Baldur’s Gate 3 via Heroic (GOG) and it just works on Linux. Not sure what the ‘barely works’ part you are talking about is. Hell, half the games I buy are through GOG now. Only one I had to do anything for is Breath of Fire IV, which isn’t even offered on Steam…
I’m all for this. Game exclusivity prevents many from enjoying them.
GOG is doing wonders for the later as well. Just recently enjoyed a run of Breath of Fire IV. :)
Unironically, yes. Keep the kernel-level anti-cheat shit off my computer.
Good news, you can download and run Microsoft Teams in Linux. I have no clue why you would want to do this, but you can!
updates don’t matter. Security doesn’t matter. You can just tell your computer to never update anything, and it’ll be the same for a decade. You can live in your little bubble.
You are free to do what you want, but do not give out advice like this to others. Security issues pop up constantly and not updating leaves you vulnerable to them.
For the room: If you want to stay on your unpatched machine, don’t plug it into the internet. Otherwise, use an OS that is currently receiving security updates.
Yeah, this article should compare nVidia’s revenue to the US GDP (both measure of annual production). But we know why they aren’t, as it wouldn’t produce an alarming stat.
And to be clear, this stat is simply factually wrong. nVidia IS NOT 16% of US output. They sold $165B last year, US GDP is $29.2T. This means the US has tethered… 0.5% of their economic output to one company. Not 16%, zero-point-five-percent.
