And you don't have to fuck with drivers, especially for basic shit like the friggin hard drive. No forced accounts either!

That's the wonderful thing about distros, you can keep trying different ones until you find one you love or just get tired of changing lol.

That stops it from being Free, which is freedom 0. From GNU.org:

A program is free software if the program's users have the four essential freedoms:

1. The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
2. The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
3. The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).
4. The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

A program is free software if it gives users adequately all of these freedoms. Otherwise, it is nonfree. While we can distinguish various nonfree distribution schemes in terms of how far they fall short of being free, we consider them all equally unethical.

What you're talking about is changing Free software to be non-Free. No thanks.

Aphex Twin is still revisitable 😭

But was it a good band at least?

These are FOSS projects, not open source. They'd no longer be FOSS and that would be bad. Freedom 0 is important.

I play Starcraft 2 through Proton, it works pretty well. These days pretty much all distros are perfectly fine for gaming, maybe with the exception of Debian stable. If you're new, I'd recommend staying away from Arch and derivatives like Manjaro. Also try to keep things simple for yourself and avoid flatpaks, snaps, and appimages.

Well duh, but what's the bullshit reason they lie about?

But why?

I did just that with Windows 7 long past its support date. All my gaming was in Windows, all my work and everything else in Linux. You can do that in 10 too and in fact it will probably become easier for you after support ends, because there will be no new Windows Updates to trash your bootloader.

Edit: Don't run programs from ntfs drives, icky stuff can happen. Just reinstall your games in Linux when you play them there. Gaming is also really good in Linux now, I'm primarily a gamer and do it all in Linux!

Nice

Honestly it was a good game for a console port. Really enjoyable and fun although the multiplayer was DOA.

I saw this problem for the first time yesterday. Run dmesg to look for errors from the kernel, for me I had amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: [drm] *ERROR* dc_dmub_srv_log_diagnostic_data: DMCUB error - collecting diagnostic data. I took this to mean that my system couldn't communicate with the monitor to change brightness anymore. When my system is idle, it first dims the monitor before turning it off, so when I wake it back up it's stuck on low brightness like this. Simply turning my monitor off and back on seemed to fix it.

Anyone else think she was named Raylin because it was railin' her mom that created her?

Yes, most people aren't aware of it as they've seen inside Program Files and assumed that was all the program's data.

I know they're not for everyone, but Smart Cars are actually devoid of Smart as in IOT. If you're not huge, get in one and try it out. I have a gas one and it's my favorite car ever, and I last drove a Porsche Boxter. They're fast enough, sip gas (or electricity I'm sure) and are so easy to drive. The turning radius is like 90 degrees and it's so nice having the front of the car stop where your feet are instead of a giant protruding hood. They're very cheap too and they're made by Mercedes so it's easy enough to get them worked on.

Thanks for shitting in the toilet and then leaving without flushing.

Bro you're messing with wine prefixes? You already know more than most and clearly have the motivation and ability to do what you want. You'll go far, just google what you need when you need it like the rest of us :)

Youtube channels have RSS feeds, I also subscribe to Slashdot and a few webcomics and Neatorama.
