I’ve never watched any of his videos. They just don’t appeal to me and never have. However, given his apparent fame, it’s good for linux.

The more people acknowledge linux’s existence, the more engagement, the more growth.

Here’s hoping someday Windows will be a nasty memory.

Hp Omen 34c user here. I’m quite happy with it, even though HDR is not the best. it does a pretty good job in general and is fairly well balanced for the asking price.

I always “Recall” how shitty windows is, whenever I see the word mentioned.

I think I read somewhere they want to buy Chrome from Google if they are forced to sell. So not many changes, just switching owners who ultimately do the same thing.

i’m not a Chrome user, so screw both google and perplexity.

don’t forget the rudeness of some people. they behave like the whole building is a hotel and they can do whatever they damn well please.

If it were up to me, I would obliterate this concept. Hotels are for holidays, not people’s houses where everyone brings along their holiday brains and are being generally disrespectful towards the communities.

Wifi? imagine trying to get pci modems working and basically compiling your kernel each time you’d need an obscure driver. usb didn’t even exist and external ones were both expensive af and running on serial ports.

good times honestly. I learned so much about linux.

Maybe Sam Altman should invest in LLMs that appreciate his insights and pretend to give a shit.

• cries looking at iphone remembering the good old “free” days.

there’s Zen also. that also has normie defaults, however the drastically changed UI/Uxmight not be for everyone.

Honestly, I would totally move to GOG, however my entire games collection is on Steam, so it would be very very difficult and it’s rather tedious to have and use 2 platforms like that.

Oh well, I do hope they can get more people onto their platform. it’s a better Epic store for sure.

Well, I guess there is no universal answer and it obviously can’t be some generic method of achieving this,but what I did was to explain in detail how MsOffice is basically just a standard because people made it so out of convenience and lack of true alternatives and it’s not cheap, plus whatever is made freely available by a corporation means it’s actually you paying with your data for it.

It’s a process and you’d have to convince him to at least allow you to show them side by side or explain how it’s always up to date and you don’t have to throw money at it every x years just because it’s called MsOffice202x, because the benefits of upgrading are not worth the money.

It ain’t easy, I know… but I am also providing support myself when requested, which can become a headache fast, especially with “difficult” people.

I managed to get my father in law to fully switch to libreoffice, which is in itself a great achievement, as he’s almost 70 and he used to be an msoffice user for most of his adult professional life.

Libreoffice is just great and Europe should start backing and using more open source, non greedy corporate backed projects.

i’ve had none of those issues and i’ve been a jellyfin user for the past 5 years or so, but I do use containers for the server.

Android client is not great, but there are alternatives like Findroid, which is pretty great.

Last point is literally a couple of clicks. You just need to understand what libraries are and how to add them.

over it is then. Buh bye!

Colt Canyon! looks great! I might buy it myself if I don’t make it.

very cool. thanks for sharing this. they even have an official flatpak.

EA doesn’t open source old games: EA are scum and anti-consumer.

If it’s good it must be bad, right?

I have fully switched my arch to flatpak only( for user installs obviously). There are still some apps missing features like anything requiring secure credential storage (i.e tutanota) , but for the most part using flatpaks has been an amazing experience, if you can live with the increased required storage needs.

I was planning a holiday in the US this or next year, but decided not to proceed with it. I’d rather go anywhere else now really. Currently for me Russia = India = China = North Korea = USA now. Plenty of european countries I’d rather throw my money at.
