“Noooooooooo you have to let the algorithm prey on children the moment they’re born or the algorithm won’t learn how to better prey on them once they’re of voting age”

Fuck social media. EVEN THIS social media is proving itself to be compromised.

I guess I just don’t expect most beginners to want to read the breaking changes. Like when firmware packages recently changed, pacman paru yay and octopi don’t tell you about those breaking changes. You just get an error when you try to update. If you read the notes, you know to uninstall the old package, install the new ones, problem solved. What about using meld to merge pacnew? I don’t expect someone in their first week of Linux to figure it out. Even if they can learn it, I don’t expect a lot of users to want to.

Maybe I need to have more faith in people? I stuck to Ubuntu derived distros for about a year before I took on Fedora, and then eventually EndeavourOS where I learned the ins and outs of managing an Arch based system. I learned a lot, and I learned it gradually, which worked well for me, so I don’t try to throw other new users in the deep end of the pool.

I am a cachy user, and this is the worst possible advice. Arch based distros are not for brand new Linux users.

Yep. Stay in those.

Yeah. Stick with Zorin or maybe try Ubuntu. If you specifically do not want to learn, which is what your post makes it sound like, Zorin or Ubuntu will be your best bet.

Some people are good people. Some people aren’t.

I second everything above. If you use Fedora be sure to follow a post install guide, there’s plenty more of them out there. Otherwise, Mint, Ubuntu, and Pop!_OS are great options.

If you want a little more challenge, EndeavourOS and CachyOS are great introductions to Arch. Avoid Manjaro.

I’m really sick of everyone suggesting Bazzite non stop. I’m a serial distro hopper because I love learning about various distros as they grow and change, and bazzite and other immutables have always been problematic and janky for me, and their immutability makes it difficult to problem solve with tried and true resources and methods.

The correct way to refer to the left lane is “the passing lane”

Get in it. Pass someone. Get the fuck back out. If you aren’t passing, you have no business in the passing lane, simple.

Based on what I’ve been seeing, the latest crop from MSI and Asus of higher end OLED models seem to make burnin a bit of a non issue with their prevention methods. I own a 1440p Asus OLED panel as my primary monitor, I’m not careful with it, and I haven’t seen even a hint of burn in after running it for a year.

Now, will it last 5 years? 10? That remains to be seen, but I’m not really stressing on it.

I’ve been surprised several times, once by a lone raider attacking me near an elevator, and another fending him off and reviving me. I even got my attackers loot. I’ve also crawled my way to a hatch to extract more than once by the skin of my teeth.

I think the real lesson here is never KYS, instead, run the clock and use your remaining health as a resource.

……that thang is juicy

Several open source projects do this, I use Hyprland and it does the same. These are community supported projects made by unpaid volunteers for your benefit. It’s definitely not the same.

They are literally Mexican people. The burrito is fucking Mexican. Seeth all you like.

I live in a place with a LOT of Mexican folks, and they happen to operate a lot of taco trucks around the area. Muy authentico. They put beans and rice, a massive pile of your meat of choice, onions cilantro and cheese. It’s a burrito the size of a small child, wrapped in a tortilla the size of a small blanket.

If the people whose culture the noble burrito hails from decide to put rice in it, the answer is yes. Rice belongs in burritos. We gringos just need to say gracias when we pick up our order and deal with it.

And it’s essentially perfect. Just slap the game files in the correct folder and go. Support for modern screen resolutions, runs smooth and stable.

Edit: it also has access to multiplayer. Hop in the official devolutionx discord to find friends to delve with.

I have always had issues with KDE Plasma. On a dual monitor desktop setup, games would either open full screen on the secondary monitor, or an errant click would lead to them dropping out of full screen in a way that was unrecoverable without restarting the game. I had a much better experience with Gnome on that front, and my experience with Hyprland has been perfect. I can swap my game between any number of workspaces and full screen it with super+F.

Did anyone see the MASSIVE rumble/haptic motors in the grip area? Yeah. This is the answer. They packed a lot of stuff in there.

I knew 4chan would eventually immigrate to Lemmy.

This isn’t why it failed. It failed because the software, user experience, and compatibility was immature. That is no longer the case, as proven by the steamdeck, and offering a mature ecosystem with VR, controller, and console/PC that all interact seamlessly will be the major selling point.

I’m expecting $799.99 for the low storage model, and if it performs as well as a typical $1000-$1200 PC, I think they’ll enjoy the same level of adoption seen by the Steamdeck. The target will be people looking for an entry level to PC gaming, and current PC enthusiasts on lower end hardware looking for an upgrade that’s simple and reasonably positioned price wise against traditional PCs.
