Was the compiz fusion cube minimalist or maximalist? I used to wow my non-linux friends with that thing.

You’re welcome!

Slackware, be bold.

vim is for nerds.

I’ve been daily driving Slackware since the late 90s or early 00s (don’t remember). There’s no systemd, and no drama. I run KDE plasma 6, steam with proton, flatpak, rocm for AI shenanigans and whatever else I want. Even the rolling release is solid as a rock. There are dozens of us! And we’re not all greybeards. I started going grey in high school, but I ate cookies for breakfast today because I’m both a grown ass man and a child.

My wife is my barometer for how beginner friendly any tech is. She had zero issues adapting to popOS. She had many issues when I tried to force Slackware on her.

stupid treatment resistant depression…

I’ve been on a retro kick. Recently I’ve been messing with a Pentium 233 MMX. I burned a tinycore Linux CD a couple days ago so I could make this:

Make sure your laptop bios allows iommu to be enabled. This is the only way I know to pass your GPU directly to a VM. And even this is still pretty fiddly.

Don’t dismiss the steam/proton rec. Or dual boot.

Preach!

Glad I’m not the only one.

He already rescued Azerbaijan from two brutal wars that nobody ever heard of. Hasn’t he done enough?

I build from ewaste and keep things deliciously trashy looking.

Requiem for a dick

You laugh, but this is how Comcast dealt with me knowing it was them or 4g wireless internet.

The odds of having more than one viable ISP option in the US are slim. I live in a major metro, and it’s only been the past couple years I’ve had a second option. I was living comcastrated for the previous decades.

Don’t worry, I never subscribed in the first place. Yaaaarrrrrrr…

I’ve been wanting to get matrix up for my family and friends to chat with my 6 year old on her tablet. I found nextcloud talk to do all the things I wanted with none of the hassle. My daughter is a ridiculous texter.

I’ve been using the original m1 running a lineage OS based android TV for a couple years. It’s perfect. I added a nvme drive for a “DVR” in tivimate, but we rarely use it. I use a cheapo 2.4ghz remote from Amazon.
