I looked at reddit yesterday for the first time in ages and saw they rebranded as the heart of the internet now

Ooh nice, I still need to finish the show. I started silo but ended up reading the books instead of starting season 2 so that’s put a hold on my TV watching lol

Yeah I’m thinking bout trying something new because Nvidia just put out new drives to fix a security issue but mint hasn’t seemed to update the driver manager.

Without having tried that setting myself, I’m assuming that you have to keep moving the mouse to scroll, instead of just slightly moving the mouse once in a direction.

I think it’s advertising for a custom domain service kinda like geocities or angelfire used to be. It’s also apparently free with the caveat that they will constantly try to upsell you on packages, and it will eventually not be free.

I started with mint cinnamon and then tried out bazzite and nobara but they both gave me issues so I’m back to mint because it really does “just work”

My server is running mint currently, but I’m going to switch to fedora at some point soon. Mostly because I have to deal with RHEL at work and I’d like to better familiarize myself with it.

I’ve only really messed with VMs running in linux and I know video acceleration can be an issue. Do VMs running on windows have an easier time of setting up GPU passthrough?

Not quite fired but close enough. I know a guy who had gotten his 100% disability from the military during his first enlistment (basically only worked for about 2 years and then medical said he was borked so he was going to collect a paycheck for the rest of his life)

Then he popped positive for smoking weed on a random drug test and lost it all. Now he’s being discharged on an ‘other than honorable’ which means he loses all his benefits.

Bazzite is immutable, it worked generally okay for me but I swapped back to mint because I had to use a smart card reader and getting it to work on an immutable was a royal pain

Aren’t those people also the first to be let go? They’re the most expensive and you can maximize short term profits by letting go to expensive employees and hiring on cheap ones.

I would wear the hell out of this shirt

I imagine this would work out to be something similar to redhat enterprise linux, but with the EU funding it’s development instead of the US

Doesn’t chat gpt still just make random stuff up?

It helps to understand some of the deeper lore, but AW2 does a good job of letting you know the important bits so it’s not necessary to have played the first one.

Wait, the three mile island thing wasn’t a joke?

It was always a matter of when, not if.

Anecdotally it hasn’t been that hard. I’ve had the best luck with Linux Mint just working straight out of the box. I basically only use my computer to game so your mileage may vary if you need specialized software or something.

Also the benefit of mint is that Ubuntu has a huge user base comparatively so you can find a lot of info online for people who have probably already figured out issues that you might encounter.

My job has radicalized me against windows, the settings are factory reset quite frequently due to updates or reimaging so I’m constantly resetting every single option just to get it back to a continent state (Who in their right mind thinks centered task bar icons is a good thing!?!?!)

Yeah…I was dual booting to test mint, then accidentally wiped my windows drive when I tried out bazzite and went ‘welp, guess this is my life now’ and haven’t gone back to windows lol

My computers at work are on win 11 and good god, almost every time I log in I have to reset all my Taskbar setting (left instead of goddam CENTER, minimize the search bar, unpin the bullshit, only combine when full) and the most egregious issue of all is win11 doesn’t let you reposition the task bar anymore!
