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.

entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•Nvidia 580 series of drivers will be the last to support GPUs based on the Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta architectures.8·4 days agoThey’re usable as adapters and for 2D stuff, but performance is significantly worse for 3D due to being stuck at the minimum clock speed
entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.orgto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Is using Proton GE better than Proton in terms of performance?English7·5 days agoIt 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.

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.

entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•Alright fine I admit it, I want to learn Linux1·8 days agoI 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.
entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•Alright fine I admit it, I want to learn Linux1·8 days agoProtonDB is probably a better choice these days for finding tbe compatibility of games specifically.
entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•Alright fine I admit it, I want to learn Linux15·8 days agoI’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.

…seriously? Go read The Boys or Chainsaw Man or Gantz
Yeah, for real. This is only wholesome if you ignore the dystopian context
entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.orgto politics@hexbear.net•Trump’s Tax Bill Is Bought and Paid for by Big BusinessEnglish2·9 days agoYeah, 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.

Hermes UKEvri?
Same. I’m excellent at like 4 things, everything else is just “yeah I got halfway not terrible and moved on”
entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.orgto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•I have finally gotten rid of WindowsEnglish2·12 days agoI’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
entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.orgto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•I have finally gotten rid of WindowsEnglish4·12 days agoMeh, I’ve found that Heroic works just fine for most offline installers. YMMV of course.
:cringe:
Yep, I’m old and cringe and not trying to hide it like some poser afraid of looking their age. I’ll still have your back in the revolution.
Am myself now
