How can someone claim to be a capitalist if they’re still eating every day?

I still find it funny that Steve Ballmer called Linux communism lmao

What I did to learn was basically trying to mimic my Windows install in terms of programs and features. I installed games I played often onto Linux and learned basic software installation and Proton by doing that, then I installed some productivity apps (mostly their Linux equivalents, not the exact ones) and learned to use those, and then did some customizing. Not everything works, at least well (VR for example), so I dual-boot still

I’d also recommend pulling up the terminal to do some basic stuff to get used to it, like using sudo apt install for some select programs, ls and cd for file navigation, etc. You won’t need the terminal for daily use in mist distros, but it’ll be important sometimes

Also, if you choose Mint like I shill for recommend, searching the forum has proven useful in my experience

I have a 6800 XT, is there something I have to enable somewhere? I could’ve sworn it was missing because h264/265 had licensing weirdness going on but idk

I probably sbould’ve specified H.264/H.265, unless I’m missing something?

Not to knock on your point but the AMD drivers on Linux don’t support hardware video encoding unfortunately, so technically it’s not full-featured

Yeah that’s what I meant, not updating for a while makes it more likely to break next time I try. I think the time I had to use the fallback I waited something like close to a month?

For all its strengths, Arch is kind of a pain in the ass to maintain. I daily drive it but I risk breaking something if I don’t update regularly. My youtube laptop can’t update at all anymore from something I don’t care to fix (when Firefox breaks then its a big deal lmao) and my main rig needed to use the fallback initramfs for a while after I forgot to update for a while. mkinitcpio -P (I think) fixed it though

Archinstall also works on wireless using iwctl, that’s what I did

My friend and I tried playing it a few times, and the same thing would happen every time: we’d find nobody until its like 5ish groups remaining, and then get beamed before we knew where it came from. It’s probably a skill issue, same thing happened in Warzone except earlier in the game, but we ended up dropping it anyway. Never happens in any other game though.

I didn’t, and what I read online was sometimes SSD manufacturers just get lazy with consumer products and end up assigning the same UUID to a model of SSD, and I tested this by getting an SSD from a different manufacturer and, sure enough, it worked as intended.

This might be the post I found where I figured it out at (bugzilla.kernel.org)

If you use two drives, I’d highly recommend getting two different models of SSD because after around kernel version 5.18, the kernel will reject one of the “duplicates”. Was a huge source of frustration when I started, and I had to use Mint for a while before finding out the problem (I’m on Arch now btw)

Cause grandma has someone to go to when things go wrong Not to say that’s right anyway

There is no good reason for it, but also it’s Twitter, who isn’t known for making the best business decisions.

It might have the same issues as far as misogyny and stuff goes, but a union should be able to remedy the issues with rushing content. Unions usually are just made up of the workers but the bigger ones have independent management that can step in to manage other issues too.

I watched LTT a lot until recently but that Linux challenge seemed like the first sign to me that they don’t look at everything in good faith. “Why doesn’t Manjaro tell me it doesn’t have APT installed” It’s another OS, he acted like it’s something you can just jump into without doing research. I know that wasn’t his belief but it was his action. Nobody in the Linux community will say it’s as easy as Windows, even Linux Mint requires a good bit more know-how than the average “savvy” Windows user. Windows doesn’t follow POSIX, Linux and its tools at least try to

The issues tab on the Github linked in the post, I should’ve clarified mb

Found this lol
