Rich people spend much more money than I do and yet they’re fine, so clearly the spending of the money isn’t actually the problem.
I’m going to go ahead and appropriate that for liberal use. “Used liberally”, that is, not “used for Liberal politics”.
Oooh, I missed that. Nice!
You know it’s bad when even a two thousand year old gospel considers “rich people don’t go to heaven” to be divine wisdom. It has always been thus.
There’s no way the CEO of my last company - making a cool 6mil one year that I saw an article about the shareholders paying him a bonus of another few mil - works 125 times as hard as my 48k (gross) ass.
Instead of trolling kids that get pissed when their game shuts down mid-match and learn not to trust the internet, they get disgusted for life and learn not to trust the internet and also how horrible a place it can be.

Right? “Oh look, country with huge population has more downloads than country with small population!”
Ah, gotcha. Yeah, that’s one of those cases where you either add support yourself (provided you have the time, know-how - which most already don’t - and commitment) or wait until hopefully someone else does. Or - like me - you curse and go back to X11 until something gives you enouhh confidence to try Wayland again. I think I read somewhere on this platform that there will be (or was?) some Nvidia driver update that should help with Wayland support, but I haven’t looked into it.
I don’t have much experience with laptop hardware. I did have one elderly laptop running Ubuntu, though it probably would have been served better with something more lightweight (I just didn’t know much about anything at the time). But that wasn’t doing anything intensive, just some Uni exercises. I think a simple neural network was the most challenging thing it ever had to handle.
I’ve got working Nvidia drivers without any tinkering. Gaming on my 3060 without issues. Never had microphone issues either. This isn’t supposed to be “You’re wrong”, more a “I wonder what I’m doing differently”.
ASUS TUF GAMING B550 MoBo, AMD Ryzen 5600x, some Gigabyte version of the RTX 3060, running the Nvidia version of Nobara (Fedora-based gaming oriented distro).
What distro did you try?
Good on him for giving Linux a platform. Bad on google for coercing him to do so in a clickbaity manner.
Fair enough, I guess that nuance got lost then
I might be the minority, but I’m more inclined to click a video that says “Plasma 6.1: Release, features and my opinions” than one that proclaims it THE BEST THING (unless it’s from a creator I already know and like anyway, they get a pass as long as the content is good)
Sure, but the common consensus seems to be that you shouldn’t be annoyed at the constant updates when that’s an explicit feature of that system. Maybe that’s just a misreading, but I assume the expected reaction would be “Not now” rather than “Not again”.
(I’m not taking a position, as I’ve never worked with a rolling distro and can’t really comment on either stance, just trying to navigate the confusion here)
Shame is, I kinda like the tool (Microsoft Power BI) for its graphical interface and capabilities. Don’t get me wrong, I have plenty of complaints too, and its promises of empowering users to find their own insights come with a lot of conditions. But I’ve also not found any comparable FOSS alternatives.
I’m far from OG, unless you count my dad’s SUSE that I “used” as a child for a while. I fondly remember SuperTux. But I didn’t really interact with the system much beyond starting games or a browser.
Later (about six years ago, I think) I started dual-booting Ubuntu as a side piece for productive stuff while gaming on Windows. Gradually tried gaming on Linux too, then made the jump to Linux (Ubuntu) exclusive late 2021.
Since a recent PC upgrade, I’ve used an additional disk to try Nobara and am happy with it so far. I’ve now got a spare disk and more time to try new distros, so I plan to explore the distroverse some more, but all in all I’d consider myself more of a newcomer or at best a resident than an OG.
I had the opposite once, years ago: I don’t know the cause anymore, but somehow Windows disappeared from my grub.
By the time I had finally secured all my data with the intent to make that absence permanent, it did reappear (again, no idea why), but I was committed. Steamrolled the entire drive with a new Ubuntu install and haven’t used Windows privately since.
I did need to use tools that don’t run on Linux (even with wine - believe me, I tried) for uni and used a windows VM, my work laptop is Windows because I need the same tools and get no say in it anyway, but haven’t had a direct Windows install on my system since 2022.
My private OS of choice is by now Nobara, though I also intend to use an obsolete SSD to try more distros with.
The internet is full of delightfully horrifying tales like that. Just yesterday, I got to witness a few people regretting asking about the pony jar. (Don’t look that one up either)
Thank you for the details! I find the different properties of metals fascinating but rarely have the time to read up on it (which isn’t made easier by having to first read up on and understand a bunch of terminology and underlying concepts, which my ADHD just doesn’t have the patience for), so comments like yours giving a bit of insight are perfect.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Unless you’re trying to get a movie or game to get a teen-friendly rating, in which case you might not want to make the sex scenes quite as explicit.
Speedcubing or racing games? That’s where I know that term from
I once tried Red Bull Cola.
I am very flexible when it comes to Cola. I have my strong preference, but I’ll drink other brands to when offered, with one notable exception: You’d have to pay me to drink Red Bull Cola again. They should’ve stuck to Energy Drinks. All their pretty flavours are nice, but that one product is an crime against my tastebuds.
