French press is basically the same work as a drip machine, but a different shape. You just heat the water seperately and then pour it and the coffee into the French press, let it sit, press the plunger down, and pour. Actually takes slightly less time than any cheap dropper I’ve used and runs 0 risk of burning the coffee (drip machines like to put heating elements into their bases to keep the pot hot, this can burn the coffee and ruin the flavor, French presses cannot burn coffee because they cannot add heat)

Espresso is finely ground coffee that uses steam pressure to brew (thus why espresso machines are fucking expensive, my mr coffee unit was 80 buck), it’s an involved process (worth learning gif you’ve got 20m to make a cup of coffee every time) but very good if you use beans you like AND you like your coffee flavor strong

Not them but 9 months into Mint and I’ve had 0 issues with any games or programs that don’t just not work on Linux (fucking anticheat)

Simple, supported, Community that isn’t entirely filled with elitists telling you to use the CLI, good comfortable starting spot

Its hard because stop using adobe as graphic designe

Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and After Effects all worked when I tried them on Linux Mint 22 to see if they worked

Older versions from before the CC updates for those programs that you can use them for also work and work quite well, though I do understand that there are literally missing features for professional work in some of those older versions

A real Linux alternative (or proper fucking Support but fuck adobe) would be GREAT, but the change likely won’t be as bad as you might be worrying

So far the hardest thing I’ve had to install was called YAD, and that was so I could install Morrowind mods specifically, a rather niche need all things considered, and I’ve made multiple audiovisual projects on my Linux workstation without having to do anything like that

I do keep a Win10 LTSC on a side boot drive for games with anticheat and any programs I might need there but so far that’s literally only been handbrake, which I’m sure there’s a Linux version/alternative for but I just haven’t had to use it on that OS yet due to work flow

Or machine virtualization, VirtualBox and similar programs are piss easy to learn to use and most machines today should have 0 issue emulating older windows and an old game in a VM

Any issues you might have are going to be hardware related, like really old games not playing nice on no original hardware, but if you’ve got one of those then just install the last version of the OS and isolate that original hardware machine from any networking and it’s completely safe to use as a game console

For games that could run on Win7 and 8? Not really

It’s surreal reading comments pining for win7

Oh no they’ve been in a coma since 2012!

I jest, but seriously I was in HS personally while whinging about 8 and wanting 7 back after my laptop auto updated on me like a jackass. Its actually the event that lead to me learning IT!

it was never supposed to be a ground braking game just a way to monotize their testing while giving the hungry fans something to play with while they wait.

Can’t re-write history just to cope, buddy

would you reather a buggy unplayable mess now or a fully flashed out game a year or two later

Right now we don’t get either so that’s a weird 2 options to pick

My local ISP is run by Trumpers out of one little office nearby

I’d love a final reason to firebomb them after all the bullshit, honestly

I know Terraflops are real and what they measure

I still refuse to believe they’re not a fake term used to fluff up tech announcements and make shit sound more powerful than it is because that’s a fucking stupid name that nobody should use

Fair enough, I figured being a Lemmy user was enough indication that I’m a legit Linux user that’s annoyed by this, but yeah I see what you mean

I refuse to edit it and will eat the karma as it lands, as is my fate

E: ah, someone else did basically the same joke I did but they left an obviously legit review, so mine looks like I’m making fun of them. My comment is older, or theirs went up as I made mine, but I totally see what the issue is now, mines beneath theirs and looks like sarcasm at them

I seem to have angered some people, the downvotes are almost equal with the ups lol

Its not series to anyone who thinks it is

I’m doing my part!

You joke but blops 6 is out rn and did this on tiny maps

Its horrible and amazing at the same time

Nah, i’ll use it for the games that refuse to enable anticheat, and I’ll use the LTSC version whether Microsoft likes it or not

Respecting terms of service is for chumps

Direwolves or similar sentient beasts that otherwise exist in our world (owls and foxes are common tropes for this too)

The idea of something that is basically what we know from our world but with increased stats and communication is really cool

It annoyingly needs a more complex HOTAS to properly play than most cheap entry-level ones have, while also not having ENOUGH complex need to justify me pulling my godamn keyboard over for

Literally the main reason I don’t play it even though slapping my quest 2 on and space VR flying is fucking fun

They want you to consume only from them and only what they approve of

Not just that, I remember when app stores were new and people clamoured to be on them AND those app makers would often move to ONLY being on the app store, with anything downloaded off-store being a scam

So a lot of people grew up to use these devices at a time where downloading something off the web was more likely than not to be malware, giving them the ick on the idea as a whole

Fuck, I’m from the time a bit before all of that and even I have a goddamn hard time downloading shit that’s available off-store on someone’s website out of pure paranoia from those days

Me, installing Linux mints major update like a month ago after finally getting things just right:

If it breaks, new distro I guess 🤷

Android has webcam support in USB mode and has for like 3 versions now, though?

When it asks you what you want your device to do when plugged into a PC you get options like "file transfer (ftp)”, webcam should be on the bottom

Works flawlessly for me in both Linux and Windows for OBS

The immediate one that comes to mind because it was a big deal back then is FNAF2
