i was thinking of switching to vanilla arch but ended up going the other way and installed Nobara KDE on my laptop. I’ve had it on my main machine for a while and really like it. i prefer tiling on a laptop too and normally use i3 but i’ve been able to get a satisfactory tiling setup within KDE using Krohnkite.

i was liking endeavor but had to switch cause they started putting AI slop desktop backgrounds in updates

giving the pigs and the feds more powers isn’t gonna help anything lol

fedora or nobara KDE spin

lol

also solved this by updating the controller firmware but yeah, you have to do that on windows unfortunately

who made you the fun police

low effort try harder

wildly skewed towards old people

I just try to channel Gramsci:

“You must realize that I am far from feeling beaten…it seems to me that… a man out to be deeply convinced that the source of his own moral force is in himself — his very energy and will, the iron coherence of ends and means — that he never falls into those vulgar, banal moods, pessimism and optimism. My own state of mind synthesises these two feelings and transcends them: my mind is pessimistic, but my will is optimistic. Whatever the situation, I imagine the worst that could happen in order to summon up all my reserves and will power to overcome every obstacle.”

and this dude was dying in a fascist prison and able to hold this outlook. i find it inspiring

protonDB is my go-to and most people on there seem to be having a pretty smooth experience with it! it is fun!

? rivals works fine on my machine on Nobara. it has a Linux compatible anti-cheat.

i have faith this will be resolved eventually/they will have to admit kernel anticheat isn’t even meaningfully more effective and give up on it. anyway loads of people don’t play multiplayer AAA so it’s a no brainer already for them. as the mass of people migrating continues to grow devs/publishers hopefully will have to catch up. 2% of the steam hardware survey is linux now, it could be 5% within the decade. that’s my optimistic outlook, i know i shouldn’t underestimate how out of touch the epic games suits etc. are though

“intellectual property” and copyright would just be totally abolished in an ideal world

i got around this by opening cmd (Shift + F10) during the setup and disabling the network adapter.

wmic nic get name, index

wmic path win32_networkadapter where index = 2 call disable

index will be 1 or 2 probably depending on your setup it was 2 for me. this worked for me recently on boxes on fedora with a win10 iso.

lol

people need to be educated not coddled. conceding to and legitimising liberal/right wing revisionist history is a strategic error for any communist or communist movement.

great post!

highly recommend reading Losurdo’s Stalin: History and Critique of a Black Legend. it’s a very good historiography of stalin which dispels a lot of the western-propagated myths about his rule and the guy himself. near the end there’s a very enlightening section about why “condemning” communist leaders and figures as somehow aberrations of communism is a dangerous road to go down. Stalin was not an aberration of communism, he was trying his best to further the cause and by all accounts he did quite a good job. we can critique without performing such a binary disavowal, ultimately that is liberalism
