Wanted to try bazzite but on my 13 year old cpu and mobo it wouldn’t boot. Mint ran perfectly.

You have vr games working on linux? Im surprised

This is really neat, but much too expensive for me

It works, but performance suffers for games etc.

You wont lose access from switching. I have the same scenario. Multiple drives, coming form windows. However, your drives are probably formatted NTFS which doesn’t play nice with linux. You will want to backup and then reformat them as EXT4 before long. Thats probably the biggest pain with moving to linux. But it’s not that bad. I recommend getting an external backup drive or maybe a cloud backup for a month to have somewhere to put your files before you switch fully.

I made the switch a few months ago after using linix maybe 13 years ago. I rarely boot windows now.

I find flatpaks really annoying. Even using flatseal to allow perms, I have constant issues. But I’m a noob.

Every day of my life trying to explain to friends they need to quit using spoon fed software. Sigh.

Yeah quest 2. I haven’t side loaded it or anything yet as it’s a shared headset with the SO

I hate the term. It waters down true programmers and hard work. 9 year old rips off someone and makes game, “app”. Actual software dev makes useful program using hard work and their own assets, “app”.

Is it hard to make my own email on my local NAS?

Also HERE wego! Love it

Mini hijack but what software would yall recommend for vhs backups, preferably linux native? I figure need to do this before they start degrading. I have a capture card already, just was wondering the best software. I tried potplayer but didnt love it…id really need software with an auto shutoff so I can play a tape when I go to work or bed and not have 6 hours of blank recorded…

True. But it seems like it’s way too late to start learning any programming now. Plus it’s saturated. I’ll learn it on the side for fun but it’ll probably never be a viable job for me

Looks like I’m doing something right then!

Yeahh exactly. AI has pretty much ruined computer based fun now. Which in some ways is good, we should all learn physical hobbies again and not be reliant on tech. I still enjoy my hobby desktop computers though, I just enjoy learning how it really works under the surface.

I still want to get into coding the OG manual way (because I enjoy pain and disappointment apparently) but now it seems like a waste of time since vibe coders and 13 year olds already are lightyears ahead of me. Also I have no reason to learn it, all apps are already built xD

Looks a lot like LFS!

Thats a good idea, i have not made any aliases yet. Also remembering all of those aliases is another challenge ha. I keep a text file named commands on my desktop with a whole bunch of commands I forget.

Oh man, ams2 is miles ahead of assetto in terms of realism and tire physics. To me it’s much more like real cars. AC makes things unnecessary hard for the sake of “sim racing is hard” but irl it’s not actually like that.

Fellow sim racer! I asked quite a few similar questions on here before making the switch again (last time was 10 years ago and just on spare pcs that I put linux on). I am sorry I don’t have in depth knowledge to help you; Mint with oversteer seems to work ok with my dfgt. I have tested it in AMS2 and beamng and it has worked well. Have not installed AC yet. Maybe try a quick install of mint on a spare drive and see if it works there ? I’d do that since it seems easiest. Then you know if it’s distro related.
