  • I'm switching on Saturday.

  • Hah thanks! I'm gonna slowly swap stuff over. Dual boot seems the way, and I'll always have that fallback available if needed. Feel like I need to get on 5er or something and how A Linux guy for a few hours just to talk to em..lol

  • True. Gaming landscape feels weird rn, looking at it from current standing. Tough sledding for aspiring devs. I'm also right about that age where nostalgia tends to make everything new look a bit less shiny, so I may be choosing not to see the best current offerings.

  • Whew this was pretty accurate! I was gonna wait for the weekend, but I was feeling some type of way last night and just said "fuck it" and it was up and running within like 20 min. I've done basically nothing else tho; I had display issues (an HDMI switch I have was defaulting 1 screen to 4k (it's a 1440 screen) and 60hz (it can do 240 I think?). So I tried to force resolution on it, which worked, but frame rate wouldn't go. So I just bypassed the switch entirely, but now the 3rd monitor is always on, even when it's off. So I need to find a way to kill the input when the screen is off.

    I only ever use 2 screens, Screen 1 and 2 for regular use/gaming, or screen 2 and 3 for sim racing (screen 2 is just the discord/whatever screen). But with screen 3 always being active, the cursor and windows get lost over there, so that's problem 1, sorting that out.

    Problem 2 is probably more easily rectified, but I'm stubborn. Do I have to mount every partition before I use it, and does it have to show on the desktop? I have a 2tb and a 4tb SSD, and I was just going to split them evenly; 1tb for Win10 and Mint, and then 2tb each for storage. If it comes down to it, I'll just run Linux on the 4tb cause I assume it will do most of what I need, then 2tb for Win10 for the special use cases. I just had a plan and I can't get it to work now lol. Guess that's what the weekend is for!

    Peripherals all did mostly work; didn't test the wheel or anything, but controller and Azeron controller worked natively, Bluetooth all seemed fine. No USB issues. Really smooth process all tings considered, outside of my personal setup issues.

  • It's possible, but feels unlikely, at least in my specific situation. I would wager I am the only person I know on Lemmy. Friends have similar political views, but then some family do not, still comes up. Video game friends/acquaintances are similar in age, not same views, comes up very often. Then coworkers are not the same age at all, and it comes up there often as well. Not denying it could be, just 3/3 on what feels like different populations/demos had me anecdotally feeling otherwise

  • I feel like you'd have to control for the obvious asset flips or just random, I guess, spam games thrown out on a daily basis. I don't think it'd move the needle that much tho

  • Yeah, saw the previous post. I'd argue that is a pretty good use-case for AI. Throw together a quick reference, see how you feel about it before putting 2 dozen hours into making the image yourself, just to find out the concept doesn't work. Just make sure you do the work yourself at some point lol

  • What would it take for you to switch to Linux?

    Jump

  • I've been considering it for a while, mostly out of fear of the unknown. My worst case is something like I put Linux on, it breaks or messes up, I have no internet access and USB doesn't work. So I can't make a new Win10 ISO and I'm stuck shuttling back and forth between a working PC and mine, having to chase down issues and little details to get it working again. Is it a founded fear? Probably not, but it's just the details of it. Like I just got some decent OLED monitors, and there seems to be some issues with HDR support in some distros, namely the one I was thinking of using. I have an Azeron controller I use because of some hand issues, and I worry that won't work (although I'm almost certain it's fine). I do sim racing stuff, and I want to be sure all the peripherals work as intended without spending 6 hours chasing drivers and force feedback settings. Some pedals I want to get seem to have the same issue on Linux. It's just little things like that, where I have a thing working how I want it right now, and a swap to Linux makes it work, but missing something because it's poorly supported or limited in some way.

    I'm probably going to do it and just dual boot; but even then, I have some games that rely on mods (skins and tracks, etc). Do I need to re-download everything into a new partition? Or can Linux natively just use the pre-existing folder without issue? And it's a niche game, so unless I find one of the dozen people who have migrated to Linux on that game, I'm in the dark.

  • This works across streaming platforms! Peacock is a reliable one, nothing there is really worth watching, but what if you wanted to watch The Office again?

  • Someone else responded that does some sim racing. It has limits, but it seems it's game specific and largely by dev choice. More confidence than I expected, but I have liked at literally nothing for the process yet. Free weekend though, so hopefully 48 hours is enough lol

  • Yeah iRacing was my worry. I haven't played it at all yet cause it's just so much to get started, but that's a goal, so it's kinda at the forefront of my thoughts. I have a Moza R5 with just the stock pedals, but I have been eyeing some Simsonn pedals something fierce. How do you like them?

    And awesome, I'll look into that! I'm sure I'm gonna have questions, but from what I've seen, the Moza stuff is pretty plug and play. I have a bunch of random peripherals I need to look into tho

  • I'm switching on Saturday.

    Jump

  • It's all fairly new; within the last year. 9800x3d, 9070xt, and then the peripherals are all I'd say also new. So that also plays a part. I'm sure I will be fine, it's just the unknown of it all, and Linux has a (imo deserved) stigma in its online support. I think the big worry is I feel like I have to learn it all, then change, instead of learning as I go. Just a lot at once, but I think it's about time to learn.

  • I'm about there as well. I'm worried tho, cause I do some Sim Racing and some games don't support Linux, and I'm worried the equipment won't work. I know dual boot is always an option, but at a certain point, I fear I'll just default to Windows because it's what I know.

  • What is something you dont care to understand or "get"?

    Jump

  • No, I agree, and I'm not saying I dislike it for a good reason or even a vastly informed reason; I've watched a few, and they felt varied in content and style and tone (at least to me). I'm just saying sometimes it's as simple as "just don't like it". I don't like eggplant either; had it prepared a few different ways. I don't think it's that I just haven't found that magical preparation or mix of seasonings or whatever; just not a fan.

  • Marco Rubio invoked a medieval antisemitic trope in justifying war with Iran

  • This is the part that is difficult to explain to people. I don't think Jewish people run some shadowy conspiracy org that secretly keep pressure on things they disagree with. I do think some powerful (rich) people high up in the Israeli govt and in various powerful positions around the world (private and public) use their massive riches to influence things in the favor of Israel. Your Jewish neighbor isn't meeting up monthly with the local chapter to discuss world domination. This aligns with some non-Jewish players (Thiel a prime example) who has his own motives, but sees the money in play and acts accordingly.

    This isn't markedly different than other groups with rich, powerful people spread around, but the goals are quite a bit different.
