Minecraft is still the hardest thing to host lol
I’m actually considering hosting a Luanti / “MineTest” server for this experience, since my wife lost her Minecraft account / key thingy since the time we played in beta ages ago haha.
I wonder if it’s any easier to host or not. 🤔
Mint was my first serious move to Linux too! It’s so user friendly and clean.
I’ve been running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with an Nvidia GPU for quite a few years now on my gaming / 3D art rig though, and I’ve really enjoyed it. My Win10 partition has been dormant and shrunk for a very long time. :D
Just make sure you stick with the default of using BTRFS at least on root, to get that snapshot rollback support!
For being such an up to date distro, it’s ridiculously stable. Usually issues I’ve had have been Nvidia problems, but I’ve been able to roll back until they resolved. Things have definitely gotten much better over time.
Wayland has also matured wonderfully and things like multi monitor setups with different refresh rates work just fine these days.
Totally get what you mean about KDE too, I really enjoy how much easy customization it has!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
Debian? :p
“I heard them say we’ve reached Morrowind. I’m sure they’ll let us go.”
Morrowind will always be wonderful to return to. I miss all the imaginative player house mods. OpenMW has been so AWESOME.

Oh I thought “hnnnnnng” was still a heart attack / death by cringe meme. Did that change? Lol
So far I’ve heard Marvel Rivals is pretty based. Good on them! That’s awesome. :)
Great to know!
Both games I really want to play. For some reason I thought Marvel Rivals didn’t do kernel-level? I’m likely wrong haha.
But I loved the original Helldivers. I just really don’t want to have to install a “just trust us, bro” rootkit to enjoy the clearly excellent sequel. :(
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed player here with an Nvidia 3000-series GPU.
Gaming with Steam, GoG (Heroic Launcher), and even disc games installed with Bottles has been a smooth experience with VERY few if any tweaks or fixes needed.
Except for VR (where Monado is making strides!) we are THERE. I’d highly encourage trying it out these days.
Unless you gotta play the latest AAA hyper-competitive monolithic server games with kernel level anti cheat but…at that point might as well have a burner PC. X_X lol
I mean IDK maybe they mean the “freedom of Windows” compared to like, some bastardized Android sometimes found on third party “gaming handhelds”?
Lol
Well that’s a cooler slogan at least compared to the retro one, how’d it go…
“Live in your world, play in our walled garden locked behind a PSN account that might suddenly withdraw access to things you paid for while shuffling different tier systems and prices around and remember the BMG music rootkits? That was fun.”
… Or something like that, it’s been so long.
laser-focused on milking business users who are used to Microsoft’s abusive practices.
The funniest thing I notice is how IT departments have to enforce all kinds of group policies and custom scripts and things to crowbar Windows into shutting up and just being a work OS.
It’s just standard practice at this point to fight the thing into submission to get an install image that’s not nagging users or trying to upsell them on cloud nonsense and whatnot.
The start button alone probably needs more RAM than that.
Nah, just all the ad telemetry gathered whenever the user hits the start button!
This when my little dual-booting laptop would suddenly start in GRUB Rescue Mode because a forced Microsoft update hijacked the bootloader again. X_X
Right along with…
Substance Free Deez NUTZ !!!
But seriously I’m still pissed about that one. Screw Adobe. So much.
My guess is it works like Lynx.

You mainly get basic text formatting with some colors. It’s kinda neat. I imagine text heavy sites like Wikipedia (or Lemmy instances! Maybe other Fediverse stuff?) would be decent with it.
You can open media with external applications it says though.
Also hey, it’s not running all that fancy privacy-killing JavaScript! :D
In some situations I imagine it’s fantastic for making your browsing look like you’re working on something important, if you have a problem with nosy shoulder-surfers.
Saving this! Absolutely gold, thanks for writing it up. You’re what makes the Linux community cool. ❤️
tab completion works in more places than you might expect
I’ve found tab to be such a nice “please give me a hint” button.
…That was a terribly convoluted explanation I’m sorry. Just try hitting tab multiple times for fun if you’re stuck it’s kinda handy. Lol
Haha this feels like the software version of using like 3 different daisy-chained adaptors. Nice solve!
I don’t want to pasta with middle click. I want to scroll with middle click. I want to pasta with ctrl-v.
🍝🤌🤌🤌
Lol jokes aside, like they said above just add a shift and you’re good. Ctrl+shift+c and Ctrl+shift+v a’cut’a a’nna pasta jus’sa fine! Muah!
My “trick” with this is to mv files I’m very sure I want to be “deleting” into
/tmp. If it instantly turns out to be a mistake, I can pull it back. Else, it gets purged on reboot.This is usually A-okay for my home server since it reboots so rarely! A desktop machine might give you a little less time to reconsider. But it at least solved the “trash is using 45% of my hard disk now” issue haha.
In the very worst case scenario there’s the “Drop everything and run photorec / testdisk” as a last resort!
