The issue with the line of thinking you’re espousing is that without evidence, you’re suggesting a more complicated cause than simple chance.

Like yes, it is possible that somebody or some group lined all of these things up in advance, but it’s also entirely possible that there’s a ton of noise out there on the internet and that those with nefarious interests just signal boost the noise that benefits them.

Think of all the millions of random schizo-posters out there. You just pick whichever makes the right sounds and boost them. No need to invent the crazy when there’s crazy on tap.

This. I use symfonium for my audiobooks. Great app.

Right, that’s their point. Chocolate chip cookies can be made to be chewy when cold instead of crunchy, in which case they’re still much better than crunchy chocolate chip cookies.

Also 3.125 Hyundai Kona Electrics!

Yeah, it’s really all just cost savings. On their overpriced “luxury” cars

They’re usable as adapters and for 2D stuff, but performance is significantly worse for 3D due to being stuck at the minimum clock speed

It fixes issues with games. If the game has no issues with regular Proton then the answer is generally “no”.

In fact, with regular Proton you’re much more likely to have pre-compiled shaders available for your system through Steam, which should improve performance by reducing stuttering.

I tried out the Deep Research feature for it today using my work account. It worked pretty well, not perfectly, but well enough. I chatted with it after it completed its report and it was able to hold the research and the report itself in context to answer my follow-up questions quite comprehensively.

Got that AMD fine wine technology

I agree with your overall point, as a long time Linux, Windows and Mac poweruser who has shepherded many into a new OS in the past. People who don’t like to explore new/different technologies as a hobby get quite comfortable with whatever they’re used to and the way that it works and then quickly lose empathy for those that are earlier in their journeys.

Just to clarify on the Linus Pop!_OS thing, he didn’t read the prompt that said he was about to uninstall his desktop environment and then typed in “yes I understand this can break my system” or something like that, which had been added as a prompt to keep people from not reading the warning. Anyways people got mad that he did that because he literally ignored the warning and the meaning of the words he had to type that had been added to idiot proof the thing.

ProtonDB is probably a better choice these days for finding tbe compatibility of games specifically.

I’d say Linux (the kernel) is the motor/engine and Mint (the distro) is the chassis. The chassis defines the shape of the vehicle and its size class, for instance.

Books at book stores don’t generally have graphic violence and gore.

…seriously? Go read The Boys or Chainsaw Man or Gantz

Yeah, for real. This is only wholesome if you ignore the dystopian context

Yeah, I mean, no shit? It’s a huge cut to tons of critical stuff in order to fund a 7 trillion dollar tax cut to the top 0.1%, so obviously oligarchs bribed that into existence.

You mean like Hermes UK Evri?

Same. I’m excellent at like 4 things, everything else is just “yeah I got halfway not terrible and moved on”

I’ve seen some folks complain about its size, but it’s like 8 or 9gb. Small price to pay if you ask me for how turnkey it is. Besides storage is cheap now.

Especially when you consider Windows is like 20-30GB

Meh, I’ve found that Heroic works just fine for most offline installers. YMMV of course.
