  • Okay, so she resigns. Who thinks they aren’t going to replace her with another Bond villain’s henchman like all the rest of the admin.

  • It looks like Nuara was/is an NYPD detective who showed up in the little black book quite some time ago, but the name didn’t ring any bells.

    Nicola Caputo is apparently an Italian politician.

    Mikeladze and Leonov seem to be the least visible two characters here. I haven’t found anything about them through brief searching, but I’m curious to see what comes up.

    Wexner and the Sultan are both fairly visible characters you can read up on.

  • Oh well that’s great news. I would still do a little legwork, like searching “DistroOfChoice on Intel Mac” just to make sure you don’t run into any unforeseen issues.

  • If you’re on an M-series chip, Apple silicon as opposed to the older intel based Macs, your only viable option is Asahi Linux, which is specifically made to run on Apple silicon. If you would like to try this out, I have no promises that you won’t brick your machine. I highly recommend you watch some tutorials and read some documentation about the Asahi install process to see if it is something you’re willing to attempt.

    So, the other poster is correct. You need a new non-Apple device if you intend to use Linux freely like the rest of us.

    There’s good news though. Linux runs wonderfully on older hardware. Depending on what level of gaming you intend to do, you could get a decent used gaming laptop with a discrete GPU, or even a Thinkpad with integrated graphics for fairly cheap. Carefully consider your hardware choices based on your needs. If you take this route, the world is your oyster, and I highly recommend doing some distro-hopping in your first year.

    Linux mint is a great place to start. As far as I am aware the only proprietary software involved is multimedia codecs and Nvidia drivers, but you would want those on any distribution, because the user experience without them is severely lacking.

    Fedora is great, but it won’t install the multimedia codecs for you like Linux mint will. You’ll need to start learning how to use the terminal straight away. I consider Fedora to be an intermediate level distribution, unlike Linux Mint or Ubuntu which are very beginner friendly. Fortunately there are plenty of step by step guides and support forum posts to help you through things if you’re willing to do the work.

    Arch based distros like CachyOS, EndeavourOS and the like, will challenge you. But that challenge will teach you a lot. I would say after getting comfortable in something like Linux Mint after a few months, give EndeavourOS a try if you want to develop your knowledge.

    That brings me to an important point. Back up your files. With either a secondary SSD, or an external HDD/SSD, literally drag and drop the files you can’t bear to lose. Linux is very easy to wipe and reinstall, and hopping from distro to distro until you find your home can be a lot of fun, but having a safe backup so that you can do so without any worry of losing data, is extremely important.

  • Recommending Omarchy, or any distro based around a tiling window manager to a beginner is probably the best way to make sure they don’t use Linux. I can’t believe I have to keep saying this.

    You’re not even trying to help, you’re just saying “I use Omarchy BTW”

  • How do you ramp off being an open source maintainer?

    Jump

  • I very much agree. I think that this aligns with the spirit of FOSS. As the neofetch decays on the forest floor, the fastfetch rises in its place to fill its role in the ecosystem. This how our ecosystem stays fresh and moves forward.

  • What's a Linux distro thats breaks the windows mold and is good for testing?

  • I’m currently running CachyOS, where I installed Hyprland and ML4W dot files (basically a well refined set of config files for Hyprland) alongside KDE Plasma. ML4W (MyLinux4Work) has great YouTube videos detailing their installation process.

    Hyprland, like i3, is pretty amazing to use once you get used to it, but sometimes it can break, so having the option of rock solid KDE right at the login screen is a nice bit of insurance.

    CachyOS is based on Arch, so you’ll need to get cozy with updating and installing software, both from the repository and flatpak, via the terminal. If you’re not already comfortable with that, it’s a great opportunity to learn.

  • Yeah man, the prices are unfortunate, but supply and demand is definitely a thing. Items are only worth what people are willing to pay, and I’m fortunate to be able to justify some of my expendable income on growing my collection here and there.

    If you really want your head to hurt, look up some of those really popular games sealed and WATA/PSA graded. Old graded consoles still sealed can sell for 6 digits.

    I definitely have several of my favorites ripped for a rainy day. It’s definitely not a hobby for everyone. I have more modern emulation machines that can easily run all of my backups, but there’s really no replacement for the real games on real hardware. Just like some people are audiophile vinyl collectors who thumb their nose at Spotify and a pair of ear buds.

    1. Selling games from 10-20 years ago isn’t scalping.
    2. I have 15 Nintendo handhelds on my last count. 2 of the 3ds are modded.
    3. I have a pretty sizable collection and I’ve not had a game die on me yet, aside from save batteries that I’m capable of changing. I know the games can eventually die, I know it’s on the horizon, but they all still work for now, and I think even after they die I’ll enjoy the memories that the physical media provided me.

  • This. My back log of physical DS and 3ds games is extensive and grows a little every time I remember I have the eBay app on my phone. Sorry wallet.

  • I have a beefy gaming PC and spend way more time on retro handhelds. Nintendo 3ds, DS, GBA. Gives me a nerd hobby to collect games, and you can enjoy keeping them nice, picking them up when you want and putting them down when you’re done. Soooo many good titles too.

  • It’s working now. Sometimes websites briefly stop working, for a multitude of reasons. Usually I just go take a quick nap, the come back and hit F5, kind of like how you skip time forward in Skyrim.
