I tried to usw this for my home folder in my daily driver, but it just did not work for me.

I’m now trying out the PARA system, and Iike it better.

I should also add I use obsidian.md for basically everything having to do with files/folders/organization, so I do have all sorts of tags, auto-updated tables, etc. So a simpler file structure suits me better.

Thank you kind soul, that really brightened up my day.

Not the whole government, but some of it 100% yes.

I don’t see anything that could be considered a “Youth bad” statement in that comment. It’s a complex issue, influenced by a myriad of factors.

For example, I could dissasemle and reassemble my first PC without any prior knowledge. I had to learn to use DOS to navigate the OS and get things done. I got a book from the library about it, and spent hours upon hours just learning about how the file structure, commands, programs, external media, etc. worked before I could do anything remotely useful.

Today a PC/tablet/phone is a black box, you have to actively WANT to tinker in order to learn such about how they work. And most big tech companies try to punish you for so much as trying to replace a battery yourself.

I suspect you are projecting some personal feelings onto a stranger’s comment.

That’s the nature of the beast. You can’t have human users on a network without at least some slop.

But the decentralized network ensures that a “techno-baron” has no more say than you or I, which is exactly what the internet is supposed to do.

That’s decidedly better than a centralized system, especially now.

Ouchie. OK, I get all that, not gonna argue.

But I’m in a completely different position as a hobbyist, I have completely different criteria.

Thanks for sharing!

Prusa for the win yet again. I recently upgraded to MK4, and the thing just keeps. On. Going. Great customer support. They work with 3rd party suppiers instead of against them. Worth every cent.

At least they stuck to it, and were transparent about the state of things.

I’ve bought several early access games that I don’t play yet, because I believe they will get there at some point. My hardware doesn’t do cyberpunk 2077 justice, but if it did I would’ve bought it too.

I just thought perhaps there is already a lot of the necessary components there since bazzite is so well-tailored to running windows games. But of course I have no idea what I’m talking about. I hope I made that at least somewhat clear in my comment.

This is just an idea, but bazzite could possibly work for affinity. It’s designed around steam and proton compatibility layer, and it can play almost all games made for Windows out of the box.

So perhaps you could use the proton compatibility layer instead of wine. You could even add the exe to steam as a “non-steam-game” to make starting the program super simple.

I am no expert here, it’s just a thought.

Yes, they are dominating the handheld gaming market and will continue to do so for a while.

This has nothing to do with your personal preferences.

You won’t regret it.

But be aware, it is an immutable distro. This means that it is basically unbreakable (you hear stories about how linux machines can become broken by some update or such, but not bazzite or other immutable distros).

But this also means that if you don’t find an flatpak (or appimage) of a program you need, it can be a little teadious to install it.

Just a warning. The distrobox option is especially flexible and powerful, but you do need to do a little reading up and setting up to install stuff using these methods.

Otherwise everything on bazzite JUST WORKS, especially gaming. And the flatpak store has a ton of stuff, I have never needed anything that wasn’t on there.

SteamOS is free to use for everyone, making it a legit Linux FOSS operating system.

It’s not easy to install for non-technical people though. But Bazzite is, and it’s basically a different “flavor” of steamOS.

It’s what I use, and it’s great.

Good point! I mean, valve doesn’t even report to stockholders!!! Bad valve, bad.

And valve has already won. Everyone else is just playing catch-up, and good luck catching up to a Linux-driven steam-integrated platform. You will need it.

Mozilla should approach proton to try and get accuired. I would love to see Firefox and Thunderbird become part of the proton landscape.

Great news!

You certainly have to learn new ways of doing things when you want to tinker, but they are basically UNBREAKABLE, which is my main plus point. I’m busy, I need my PC to be reliable. I don’t want to have to troubleshoot stuff just to keep it up and running.

If I had more time I would really enjoy the tinkering, but I don’t so I need my distro just work.

Define useful.

Just a rhetorical request, I’m not expecting an answer.

If this what works for work stuff, then more power to ya. I just hope you don’t do any personal stuff on there…
