Depends on the exact Nvidia card you're using. The newer parts all have good drivers, but as you get older things get more fiddly.

But most of the improvement is in Steam's compatibility mode. Proton allows you to run so many games with one click that use to be a whole project to configure.

Steam OS is based on arch, and outside of the Steam Deck it's really not that great of a distro. It's just tailor-made for that hardware and has good brand recognition.

Bazzite is a similar concept but operates better as an actual OS outside of being a gaming console.

You can sue for anything in the USA. But it is pretty much impossible to successfully sue for "ripping off someone's style". Where do you even begin to define a writing style?

You'll never look at a music docu-drama the same.

Open AI kind of is a nonprofit. It's a nonprofit entity owned by a for profit entity, which is fucky and defeats the purpose, but that's an argument you'll see people make.

TempleOS is legit super impressive, it's a shame the dude was pretty much insane but also that's probably what it takes to code an entire OS from scratch entirely by yourself.

This is how you deal with misbehaving children. Define a boundary (don't do X), establish consequences (If you do X, I will do Y), and then follow through consistently, exactly as you described.

Ideally you don't have to treat world leaders like they're children, but these are the times we find ourselves in.

Ok, good.

You make some pots for the neighbors, think your work is done, then suddenly it's "Oh no Arkadios we dropped one of our urns and also we want to store extra grain for the cold season" and here I am making MORE FUCKING URNS.

The short answer is: Apple collects much of the same data as any other modern tech composite, but their "walled garden" strategy means that for the most part only THEY have access to that info.

It's technically lower risk since fewer parties have access to the data, but philosophically just about equally as bad because they aren't doing this out of any real love for privacy (despite what their marketing department might claim)

There's no way that you can license an online comment like that.

I once broke the table of contents for a manual I was writing in MS Word. Spent like 2 days untangling that mess.

The thing with Debian distros (like Ubuntu, Mint, PopOS) is that they're extremely stable releases. This does not necessarily mean everything "just works", but rather that they will not experience major code changes that could disrupt a working system. This means that if some apps don't work out of the box, that state is going to be pretty much the same in any distro based on the same Debian version.

A more "agile" distro might be less stable, but as a result could see some updates to apps that Debian is still lagging behind on. Fedora is probably the "next step" in this direction: it's still reliable but gets updates more frequently than Debian (it's sort of a "proving ground" for code before it gets pulled into Red Hat, which is a distro focused on long-term stability).

As for desktop environments: I've always thought GNOME was the most Mac-like DE, but KDE has enough configuration options that you can kind of turn it into anything you want. Since this is on a very old laptop, you might consider LXDE, which isn't the prettiest DE, but it's super lightweight and might let you squeeze out a bit more performance if you're wasting a lot of compute power just rendering the desktop.

I expect nothing less from Satan's maggoty cum fart.

Man, this infographic is like, EXACTLY why people are scared of Linux, lol.

It has a lot of good info but it's just so overloaded. Can't decide what story it wants to tell so it tells like 7 of them.

(Beside the point, but Mussolini totally did not run an efficient train network, it was a cluster fuck like everything else he did)

Not that there's much reason to be charitable towards Musk, but if you're in the mood:

Even if you don't think so, they've essentially been grabbing handfuls of cables and yanking then out, no guarantees they even know HOW to restore everything how it was.

This is my experience playing with FreeBSD.
