Sadly, that’s the distro I had when I did my dual boot last summer. My Lenovo just isn’t compatible with it.
Issues are not worth my free time.
Exactly. I will say though that I learned a lot, so it’ll be easier when I go back. I do plan to give Ubuntu a try as I’ve read it plays nicer with Nvidia.
My plan is to have a gaming-dedicated system for Windows and a non-gaming system for literally everything else on Linux.
Also, I too love Linux, but when I ran a dual-boot for six weeks last summer I had to troubleshoot it almost every single day. Because of that I ended up just going back to Windows and making sure I keep it clean with O&O ShutUp. Some systems just aren’t compatible with Linux and mine is one of them.
Even when it was working, only approximately half of my games ran on it, so I needed Windows anyway. (Though that may be on me for choosing Mint instead of a more gaming-centric distro.)
I’m going to go back to Linux when get a new system and can have a gaming-dedicated PC, but for now, I’m stuck with Windows.
Definitely.
Also, don’t invest in companies that hand total control to one person. That’s a recipe for having that one idiot blow all of your money, like Adam Neumann did. (Fun fact: Toward the end of WeWork’s heyday, Neumann was burning $3k in cash a minute.)
It’s WeWork and Adam Neumann all over again.
You couldn’t pay me to invest in this shit and it feels a little insane that seemingly intelligent VC’s are doing so.
Brave Browser blocks YT ads seamlessly.
Happened a few times under Trump, like when the US redeployed from Syria, doing the right thing for the wrong reasons, that is.
This is the stuff people need to remember whenever Congress and other federal politicians make exorbitant promises this fall. What they’re actually going to do is make your lives harder.
The original Resident Evil was pretty revolutionary and terrifying for me, but the 100% scariest I’ve played is the original Dead Space.
More recently, The Outlast Trials is really good, and I would HIGHLY recommend any of the Dark Pictures Anthology games, but my favorite is Man of Medan.
Yeah, it is.
Could even get Trump reelected in a few months. Super bleak.
you gotta assume they’ll eventually hire and fire/lose all the usable talent
I’d like to think that, but Amazon has the benefit (at least in the US) of operating in a country where most people need 2-3 jobs in order to live, so it’s either churn-and-burn or starve.
Video games as a narrative vehicle have come a long way.
Go try ‘Detroit: Become Human’ or ‘Man of Medan’ or ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’. The stories in gaming are GD amazing.
I’m curious as to how the fundraising for Palestine actually benefits the situation. Is it even possible to get charitable donations in?
Compared to the US, very hefty.
Is it enough, though? I can’t say if it is or not, but my gut tells me it’s not enough.
Mostly Neverwinter Nights.
We’ve had more active players on the server I DM for, so I’ve been popping in more often to run quests and ambience for all the newbies.
To be clear: I 100% think people should be able to enjoy their things without being robbed, public or no.
I’m not amused, just glad I have different habits.
Fair point.
Let me be perfectly clear that I think you should be able to look at your phone 24/7 without getting robbed.
Still glad I don’t, though.
Not blaming the victim here, just glad I have different habits.
Stories like this make me glad I’m not one of those people glued to my phone 24/7.
It’s way harder to snatch it when it’s in your pocket.
But the fun of these stories is when someone writes an article about the thieves trying to scam the victim into giving up their codes. That’s always amusing.
Literally just Mint.
And yeah, I kind of just assumed dual-boot was a big part of the issue. I’m planning to repurpose my old PC to be a non-gaming Linux PC for everything but gaming when I upgrade later this year. Will be perfect for me to have a system for gaming only and one I can use for everything-but to protect my privacy.
