  • Yeah it’s important to know that the first step in an issue free experience on Linux is just getting the right computer.

    Still nothing beats a free computer and I’m really happy to have my wifés old MacBook Pro running Fedora for some tasks that my daily driver can’t do. Luckily the broadcom issues happens around once every 2 years for me and not with every update.

    And my daily driver, a Microsoft Surface Go hooked to a big screen has other issues, like sometime being really slow when it’s usually quite fast for such low end hardware.

    When I’ll inevitably have to replace these, I’ll try to find more suitable Linux friendly second hand devices…







  • But did you ask creators if you could mirror their channels? Because if you didn’t, you’re just robbing them of some of their revenue.

    I understand the need to have more content on Youtube, but I don’t think we should steal it.

    I easily found almost enough Linux channels, but I can’t find basketball or videogames reviews channels.

    I think we’ll get more content if one day you get the ability to show creators we’re supporting them through Patreon or something else.






  • Well for now all the kids games were bought on Steam so it’s easy to just use the Steam family.

    I guess I’ll stick to Steam games for them and try to get verified ones so that there is almost nothing to set up.

    On GOG I only have adult games or old kid games that my kids would probably find too old because it ain’t Fortnite anyway, but I wish it was easy to share things in a family through GOG.

    And I know the games are DRM free so I can just copy them, but I wouldn’t want to have multiple installs on my Deck which already doesn’t have enough storage…









  • I heard that the Playstation 3 would be able to run something called Linux and I wanted to become some kind of Neo😅

    Then I went on and off between Windows and Ubuntu until fully switching to Linux around 2020.

    Running Fedora with Gnome these last few years.
