I wanna say I had sonic 2 installed? And it was about as controllable as you’d imagine with the scrollwheel lol.

Oh I’m so scared

I hope someday that hexbear users learn how to use their words.

Probably not more expensive than the immense computing power they would need to support something like the method I mentioned. I’m quite sure they’ve done a cost analysis on this lol.

I need some of whatever he’s smoking

That would require Microsoft to do something like running a 1:1 local render of everything the player is doing in their sim, for everyone playing the game, at all times. And then they’d have to stream that video feed to the player and somehow make sure the elsewhere-rendered terrain is synced up perfectly with the player’s local game. Doesn’t really seem reasonable.

Dude. What?

I’ve been using Linux desktop as a daily driver for a little under 10 years now and I’m still discovering ways I could be doing things better. There isn’t some magic tutorial that somebody can give you here which will suddenly have you as competent with Linux as you are with Windows. Try things, break things, when things break, look into what you can do to fix them. Keep system snapshots and backups of your personal files so you don’t have any data loss if things go wrong. And snapshots are useful for unfucking a system that you’ve just fucked.

Sorry if you don’t want to hear this, but you kinda have to figure it out yourself. Thankfully, for specific issues and questions, there is a ton of material out there, and people are generally pretty happy to help.

I don’t like to use steam because it’s proprietary

Um… were you looking for only open-source games? Good luck

They probably have good discovery and trending post mechanisms. Mastodon makes it a point not to have one, which results in a wholly uninteresting feed for the average user. I’m only on mastodon, but I very rarely use it, because it mostly sucks unless you spend several, several hours trying to track down fun accounts to follow yourself.

I hear that India is fun for parties and weddings, but also that it’s extremely dirty and a dangerous place to visit. I’m a man, but I especially wouldn’t want to be a white woman visiting, I’ve seen videos of how they’ll stare with no regard for how she feels - Indian men have a very poor reputation when it comes to how they act towards European/US women.

Which is fine with me tbh because fuck sales. I’d never survive independently, because I’d tell the customer the truth. And the truth doesn’t sell. I don’t have the energy to lie about how everything is better than it actually is.

Windows for a long time before I knew what OSes were. I never liked how locked down MacOS is so I’ve never used that. Then I tried Ubuntu in college, mostly to play with. Then tried Arch, fucked up my system a couple times and reinstalled, then tried Manjaro because I’d heard it was more stable and less fuss. And now I’m back on Arch. I think I’ve finally mostly figured it out over the last decade lol, I haven’t had a problem with my install in years.

I just hope we get cross play before everyone gets tired of the game.

Probably not lol. Seems to me more along the lines of those folks copy/pasting the whole “I hereby claim that nothing on my Facebook can be used without my permission” on Facebook.

Lol

Great band though, you’ve got good taste

I’ve got both Samba and NFS set up. I’d say Samba is the most versatile, just because more devices are bound to be compatible with it out of the box. I have an app on my phone I can use to connect to it, for example. And it obviously works with Windows machines. NFS is very simple to set up and nice and speedy. But I only use it for a couple permanent shares for specific things between Linux machines. You could always use a mix. I have a directory that’s shared with both.

I’ve never configured Kerberos I think, might’ve tried once in the past. From what I understand it’s a pain to set up and really more useful for enterprise environments. But could be fun to configure if you’re into tinkering with that sort of thing.

I had almost no problems. Starting up plasma took longer than expected the first time, one widget was broken/out of date, and the bouncing activation animation on items on the taskbar isn’t working anymore (haven’t seen anyone else with this problem yet). Overall not too bad.

What’s with the unhinged edits
