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…

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.

• Bonus tip : Sometimes you won’t get auto complete because there’s too many possibilities and the computer can’t be certain which one you want. Hitting tab multiple times will show the possibilities, so you can type in enough characters to remove ambiguity, hit tab again, and boom auto complete!

…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!

I will definitely say I wish encryption setup was a lot easier in Linux. Windows is like “wanna Bitlocker?” Done.

With most Linux installers, if you’re not installing in a very default way, and clicking that box to encrypt the drive, it’s time to go seriously digging. For a while.

I managed to encrypt a secondary drive with the same password on my EndeavourOS laptop, but I still need to enter the same password 2 times before getting into the OS.

I consider that a feat, and I’m not touching it for fear of losing everything lol.

Both can be true!

I think we need to avoid the monkey-brain tendency to want to assign tribalistic moral judgement tags based on OS usage. Rotten folks can use Linux and Windows as much as anybody else.

High profile usage of Linux? Neat! By that guy? Bummer. Such is the duality of free choice. =\

Thanks for the thorough background here, because I think most people (including myself) who just ignored him this whole time aren’t seeing this whole picture.

Like the comments above, they’re seeing what looks like a petty morality crusade years after a guy who makes stupid videos let a bad word slip, which, yeah, looks ridiculous out of context.

PewDiePie has been a right wing fucker that has eased a shit ton of young people into the alt-right pipeline for years.

Why am I not surprised, that this world’s definition of success always seems to go hand-in-hand with bigoted fascism?

It’s also a very chicken-or-egg question I think. I’m genuinely curious: Do internet/podcast/streamer celebrities get their status from already being like this, and signaling the fashy bros club that they’re ready to join the “in group” , or do they get pulled and influenced into that circle because they innocently found success from stupid videos?

Is social media influencing this directly via an algorithm that simply draws the connection between right-wing extremist ideals and capital wealth?

I feel so tragically for young folks. So much of anything pulling for their attention anymore is a targeted psy-op to “pipeline” them into some kind of zealotous soldier or another.

The Internet used to be about cats and gaming used to be a hobby divorced from political office except when someone tried to argue they “cause violence” every few years.

100% with you on that one.

I really enjoy the discussions here, even if it’s a little slower paced sometimes. (And I find that to be a feature!)

I’ve come to feel that technology is for anyone , but not necessarily for everyone , at least, not all at once.

It seems like a series of Eternal Septembers are usually coaxed along by corporate interests to spur mass-adoption for fun and profit, and the existing communities that get flooded tend to suffer for it, because there’s no time to support or acclimate the newbies to the community, and they bring their existing assumptions with them.

Granted, we’re gonna end up with /r/sinkpissers. Lol

All seriousness, there’s a lot of neat communities I wish would find their way here. Heck, I wish there was a way to just export the history over so old archived data wasn’t lost forever.

Hey, that’s pretty rad! Way to go! Exciting to see a new system monitor show up! :)
