  • This is really great! Tried it out and it's already earned the coveted "pin" on the taskbar. Thank you for your work on this.

  • Exactly. Leaves a sour taste in your mouth ruining a perfectly good whiskey.

  • I think I was around 13 years old, our home family computer had Windows ME on it. It broke all the time. I think I may have tried Ubuntu first on that PC but then came across SUSE and decided to replace windows with that because the KDE interface at the time (was horrendously 90's looking) but felt more like windows. I think I ran that on the computer for a year or so before my father made me put XP on it when that was released.

    It was my first real foray into Linux and it would be many moons until I ran it full time as an adult but I have a soft spot for it.

    Edit: I think my memory is off because Ubuntu wouldn't have been around back then... Must have tried Ubuntu later or maybe I was a bit older. In any case it was SUSE that sparked my interest in alternative operating systems, and probably why I still prefer KDE.

  • "The single Save Your Scissors was even catchy enough to give Dallas Green the opportunity for a breakthrough slot at the Much Music Video Awards, which is a sentence so old-fashioned it may as well have contained the words ‘malt shoppe’ ‘stickball’ or ‘home ownership’."

    Amazing.

  • I'll throw in my vote for Kavita. Works great. I read a lot on my phone so I just saved the app shortcut to my home screen from Firefox.

  • Because you just might happen to be Mr. Naughty Dog himself browsing Lemmy and thinking "wow that's the kind of talent I need on my team!"

  • Isn't it that he wanted model E but that's the one Ford wouldn't allow? Because there is a Tesla model X. He wanted to spell SEXY but instead he now has S3XY.

  • Arch with a 3080 ti using the nvidia-dkms package. Had to set up some pacman hooks to rebuild init whenever Nvidia driver, Linux kernel, or systemd gets an update, otherwise the system doesn't boot, and I've had to boot from the Arch iso, chroot into my install and then run mkinitcpio. So there was some slight annoyance there.

    But gaming I've had little to no issues at all. Some games have performed better, some worse, but none of the games I've played have been outright broken.

  • Amazing! Thanks for bringing infinity to Lemmy. It was my go-to app for Reddit.

  • They'll probably go the way other big subscription services like MS and Adobe are. Annual commitment with monthly payments of x.99 or no commitment with monthly pricing of y + x.99

    I dislike that even more.

  • Mine machines are all named after Final Fantasy Summons/Espers/Eidolons/Aeons/Primals.

    My main proxmox node is Bahamut. I try to pick a suitable summon that matches the host but that doesn't always work.

  • I'm still there as well, so much to complete still. I want to finish it so I can go back and finish Hogwarts legacy so that I can go back to my regular scheduled program of FFXIV.

  • I believe I read there was only one package maintainer for Gnome on Arch, which is why the release took longer. We have to remember it's often just regular people, or in that case, person, who maintains this stuff for free or very little. And just because upstream made a release doesn't mean it's a simple drop-in to our distro of choice.

  • I've been trying to convert to linux since the mid-2000's. Ubuntu and derivatives, fedora, and SUSE. Gaming and my lack on knowledge always brought me back to Windows.

    In 2018 I tried Manjaro and loved it. But I broke it without the knowledge to fix it multiple times. The Arch BTW memes were strong at the time so I took the plunge and studied the wiki, and documented my own installation process and really learned a lot in the process. Proton was released and suddenly gaming got WAY better. I didn't remove my windows install completely until 2022 but Arch has been my home on my main machine.

    I have since put together a proxmox cluster and run many distros for various things but that's a whole other rabbit hole!
