Installing Nvidia drivers from official repos provided by the maintainers of your distro? Easy as pie.

Installing Nvidia drivers from nvidia’s website? Good luck my friend, I hope you know what you’re doing.

you can’t just visit the junkyard and start cutting material to weld on

Maybe you can’t but I don’t give a damn how janky my car looks. The more patchwork the better, battlecar aesthetic is cool as hell.

Want.

I used to be a tech enthusiast. Used to.

Now if I didn’t personally audit the hardware I don’t want it on my fucking network. My smartphone, which I only use mobile data on and have the wifi disabled because reasons, is the only smart device I own connected to the internet. I also have 2 roku TVs but they’re offline (whytf does my TV need internet, it’s literally a monitor for my htpc).

IOT is not bad when you selfhost and manage all the data thats being scraped yourself. But like, fuck corporate IoT stuff

OpenSuse sometime around '07

It didn’t click, ended up moving to Ubuntu almost immediately. A few years later I moved to Fedora. Circa 2020 I dove into Archlinux and managed that for a couple years. Nowadays as I’m learning server stuff I’ve switched to Mint.

I’m still early in the research phases but so far the plan is a combined client for Galene and Mastadon. The current plan is to rip apart the apps as they exist and pull out the chunks useful for my needs, then build a basic webapp to interface with them that I can share with my friends.

Ideally I’d like to eventually roll out a docker image of the server stack as well so anyone can host it with just a couple clicks.

There is exactly one type of noob that should be using arch and that’s the kind that has already built an Exocar or at least understands why somebody would.

I’m already working on a tool to replace discord for my gaming group. Planning on rolling out a stack of open source IM and Voice/Video chat with ActivityPub for text chat rooms.

Integrating them all into one app is where I’ll have trouble, especially since when replacing big corpo tools they need to work perfectly the first time or nobody willvdver want to use it.

Hi, 28 here, Roblox came out when I was in middle school, therefore this could be a whole ass Roblox adult, not a Roblox kid.

Honestly, instead of playing shitty clones of games made with child labor through roblox, just play the original games they’re cloning.

Couple of weeks ago I was at a friends place for dinner and the son was playing Roblox. Everyone in the room except him knew he was playing a WoW clone. His dad even told him, “you know I’ll buy you a subscription if you wanna play the real game instead of a shitty clone”

Don’t play Roblox. Its just cheap imitations made with child labor.

I use a proxy so I always have a a little flame bht still torrent at 10mb down, but I’m not all that worried about it.

I know it got a lot of hate at the time, and much of it well deserved, but for many games I think the steam controller was one of the best.

I quite enjoyed mine for Rocket League back in the day, the remappable controls were quite nice.

Currently I use a SCUF DS4 for my Linux gaming and while I love the Controller in theory, the inability to remap the paddles to a custom button chord instead of just a button that’s already on the controller is frustrating.

Steam Controller 2 is on my must buy list.

Ehhhh I disagree that package managers handle cleanup correctly, I’ve certainly had tons of dotfiles left in ~/ mucking things up when reinstalling apps, even those that have been purged by package managers.

The package manager, much like the windows installer/uninstaller, relies on the developer to be responsible in declaring how the package is meant to be managed. If users have manual steps at installation, they will have manual steps at uninstallation as well.

I swear I hit some kind of threshold with edibles where I lose all faculty.

60mg? Barely feel it.

70mg? Oh fuck my brain is melting into the couch and I feel like a forgotten popsicle.

It seems to me you live in some kind of fantasy land where people have unlimited time for installing new tools to make sure they have the perfect one for every situation. This is not the case, which is why the *nix folks love to just install our infinitely extendable swiss army knife chassis and go get the precise tools we need. DIY distributions supply you an environment in which to employ whichever tool you deem correct in a given moment, it’s a tool box in a garage, a place to keep tools, not a tool itself.

My initial impression was that you were implying that for general computing there was an option better than nix that may meet my needs, but you’ve responded in a way that tells me that no, nix has been and will continue to be the best general purpose computing environment for my needs.

Before saying that we are limited, you should look at the priorities that have led us to make our choices.

While you see a limited toolset, I see exactly the tools I need, with nothing I don’t. No strings attached, and costs only my time.

The only way I’ve got protected content to record in such a way is an HDMI splitter running into a capture card. This is how I transferred my partner’s XBox movie library to physical media
