I’m going back to Europe for a few months for a visit. I was looking at other VPNs and they were offering me cheap discounts but I’d have to sign up for 2 years or some shit. Mullvad was very straightforward in their pricing and I was able to generate the VPN config and I have it installed on my travel router really easily.

Didn’t know he was half-irish 😃

I think I understand your overall sentiment. Just wanna boot up games and not think about settings, compatibility, framerates and stuff. I know what you mean.

Those of you that paid attention during the evolution and creationism (the round 2) fiasco should be familiar with what’s going on right now.

Anti-Woke stuff is ridiculous.

Was funny when they said they needed more original games like Hi Fi rush after firing the people that made Hi Fi rush.

Look at Mr George Clooney over here

Due to some recommendations I am using Bazzite.

I thought it was a bit of a locked down OS due to what I was used to. I realized that’s because of what it’s built on top of on? Like you should be using distrobox to boot up different terminals to install packages and stuff. It took me a little while to get used to it and I quite enjoy it. Although I suck getting wezterm to have a shortcut that will detect custom colours when booting into my specific container.

POP OS has been pretty good for me as well. Overall, quite happy with my Linux experience.

I used to drink ten to eleven cups of tea in the UK per day. I quit caffeine for a while because of the headaches. I somehow never put it together that this drug I keep putting into my system would affect my brain …

Thanks to this one comment alone I stayed up a few hours last night to switch to Bazzite.

I had a few oddities with Pop OS and I wanted to turn off the fans and do stuff. The fact that Bazzite had it all rolled in is impressive. The keyboard worked immediately. I don’t think I read the instructions well enough but I figured out I was supposed to use bazzite as the pw to get in.

This is what I think I was looking for, at least from what I see so far!

Thanks so much!

Take it easy Lionel Hutz.

What about 3rd Rock From The Sun? I think Newman fits in quite well there too.

hmm, I still think I want to use my laptop for media and gaming and general stuff … I’m leaving next week so I may try a safer OS in the mean time. I think when I get back I definitely want to delve deeper into Bazzite. I think I wanna see if Bazzite would be a good match for my friend. He was thinking about an XBOX Asus ROG Ally X and I was saying that it’s quite pricey if you’re not going to use the handheld component. He said he just wanted a console-like experience so he can just turn it on and play and that he has a Mac for his other stuff. I’m reading the Bazzite github repo and it says: “Directly boots to Game mode matching SteamOS’s behavior.” for the Home Theatre PCs which is what seems to match for him.

Pika OS is looking pretty good. The website is saying all the things that I like!

The laptop has an RTX 4000 card so it looks like I’ll need the specific OS, but I think it was the same as Pop OS. I had to download a specific Nvidia distro version as well, so it’s very similar here. I’ll give it a spin shortly!

As an English “whose-a-ma-whats-it”, I feel like a lot of us don’t care much for the monarchy as well. I don’t speak for all obviously. Many of my friends need to keep up with Royal Family drama for some reason.

I use Amethyst on Mac and it’s quite good but it is a fancy repositioning system because it bugs out a few times a day and I need to force a refresh.

I mean … you don’t have to tell me that my opinion isn’t popular, it’s demonstrable. My opinion is statistically insignificant.

There’s a plethora of other things I’d give up like have a slighter bigger phone or a worse camera or wireless charging… I’d also trade those for an SD card slot but no one agrees with me and it’s just something I need to live with.

Remember that he’s got the votes though. He’s still got the general election to go through but despite all this hatred … a majority saw through it. Let’s hang onto some hope. The world is so shitty right now.

I was just hoping a phone like fairphone would give me the option to buy a small module or something to let me do it.

Yes, yes there’s adapters … yes, yes, you don’t need to use it … I understand. I just want it.
