I’m fine with hack-a-day. YouTube requires me to sit through some ads, watch a sometimes que long intro, cut to the sponsors, more rambling, finally a couple of seconds that answer the title question, and then the obligatory “like and subscribe”. Nah.
I vote with my wallet by buying indie games or old discounted single player AAA games. This also means I can game on a crappy machine. Being a retrogamer also helps. I literally have more games to play than time to live.
The bottom of the top.
That ship, my friend, has already sailed.
Remember when HP made great printers? I still have an old HP Laserjet 1100 in use. When that one dies, I don’t think I’ll be buying any other printer.
Let me be the first to say “meh”.
Two can play that game. I bet it is possible to create an AI tool that generates and posts Mario pictures faster than they can take them down. Why you’d want to do that I don’t know.
I genuinely laughed out loud. Thanks for that.
My mom (85) has been using Xubuntu for some 10 years now. She uses Facebook and Gmail and plays card and puzzle games. She had no prior contact with computers, and learned it mostly by herself.
Just give thema stable solid distro. It will make their and your life easier.
I can confirm it works as advertised, has very low maintenance and good performance.
I use it for gaming with Steam, Heroic, Lutris and a bunch of emulators, web browsing, some light development and home lab.
So… not a Tetris fan, are you?
I’ve been doing that for years. I genuinely do not know how to fix Windows anymore. Took a while for my family and friends to accept since I “work with computers” but now they don’t automatically come to me when Windows breaks.
No. You can layer ext4 with LVM and LUKS to get a lot of features (but not all) that you get with BTRFS or ZFS. FAT is not suitable for anything other than legacy stuff.
That has been a pain point for a long time, along with signing and verifying digital signatures in PDF documents in Linux.
Adobe is up there along with Nvidia on my top of shitty companies that actually hinder Linux adoption by ignoring it.
I can hear this picture.
Skyrim SE, yet again. At this point it feels like a second job.
It will. Keep in mind that, depending on the type of job, you’ll have to keep learning new tech just to keep up: virtualization, containers, orchestrators, automation, backups, logging, auditing, scripting and God knows what else. It’s a good starting point to get you the jobs that the Windows crowd won’t touch because of the command line.
I have something like that running Haiku. Try it, you’ll be surprised.
I’ve been playing Eldritch. Friggin frustrating game. Ok, just one more go.
