Can we all agree there was no good option in the Biden/Trump election?

Tencent is worse than Hasbro

What alternative would you recommend?

This woman mentioned in the article, Morgpie, has quite a bit of content on Reddit and otherwise if you're looking for some research material. She's got some very high quality educational videos...

We need to fuck off with the fines. If the penalty for something is a fine, it just becomes the price of doing said illegal thing, and doesn't de-incentivise it at all. People need to start going to jail, or else the crimes of these companies are just going to get worse and worse because there's no reason for them not to. Like, oh no we were fined 1.3M but we made 5M from doing the illegal thing so it's ultimately worth it.

Haha yeah I do this all the time

Tried it out cause of curiosity and the allure of not being subject to a corporation's whims. Discovered package managers, aur, how customizatable the whole experience is and never looked back

I still dual boot Windows for a select couple games that don't run on Linux (anticheat) but I try to use it as little as possible cause it just feels gross.

Bitwig and Blender work great on Linux, as well as most games. MS Office and the proprietary apps will need a separate Windows install. Wine is a compatibility layer that essentially translates the Windows files into something that your Linux OS can use. It works great for some things, like games, but isnt recommended/doesn't work for others, like Office or Adobe suite. Personally I'd recommend finding the alternatives for the programs you need on Windows and trying them out, while keeping the original programs in your Windows install. You can get used to the workflow of the new programs and decide if switching is a viable thing for you. And if not, hey now you're comfortable with another set of programs just in case you need them in the future.

Essentially, yeah. Most programs will install to your root directory, but all your personal configs and personal files will be in your home directory.

What I'd personally recommend is using Timeshift to automatically keep backups if your home directory on a separate partition, then if you want to switch distros or if you need to reinstall for whatever reason you can use Timeshift to restore your home directory pretty easily, as long as your new install uses the same file system.

Plasma is the desktop environment he wants on Tumbleweed. Neon is the KDE distro. I thought it was pretty clear he wanted to dual boot Windows tbh

Yeah that's exactly how I do it. Never had a problem with dual booting Windows, just make sure your Linux drive is the default boot drive and then you can select Linux or Windows in GRUB/systemd-boot

I was having problems with the newer endeavour ISOs just not booting as well. Installed Ventoy on my flash drive and it works like a dream now. Also now I can have multiple ISOs on the same drive and choose which I want which makes it an amazing tool to just have in a backpack or whatever.

Yeah I kinda lost interest in Distrotube when he started randomly pulling out guns in videos..

Like, I don't care what your political views are as long as you make good content and stay on topic, and keep your views and work separate yaknow. Like hell, if you want to make separate videos about that then by all means, but I'm watching a tutorial on how to set up openbox I don't care about your guns and freedoms

I've been playing League on Linux for over 2 years now, haven't had an issue. There's a whole community about it too at leagueoflinux.org

Nahnahnahnahnah

Burger King poutine is the ultimate shit tier. The gravy tastes like fucking vegetable soup for some reason. McDonalds is not much better but at least it's edible.

Here's my fast food poutine tier list:

S- A&W - ( I gobble this shit up like turkey dinner. Happy Thanksgiving, btw)

A- Smoke's, NYF (similar chains, I would give NYF the edge here though as their fries and gravy are more appealing. Smoke's has more options though, which doesn't affect my ranking whatsoever because I exclusively eat classic poutine, but it is worth mentioning.)

B- Arby's, Dairy Queen (Arby's curly fries suit poutine well, they pick up a lot of gravy and cheese. Dairy Queen just does all elements well.)

C- Wendy's (the fries are great, but the rest is always weak)

D- McDonald's (I never order it, the gravy is meh at best and McDonald's fries are not suited to poutine)

F- Burger King (the fries are fine but the gravy is the weirdest shit and ruins the whole experience. I've ordered it a couple times to be sure and have never finished it. I don't go to Burger King for this reason)

I will not be taking arguments.

An hour after my shift starts 😭😭😭

I didn't play back then but I have foil armadillo cloaks from Invasion that are still pristine, yet the ones I opened in the LOTR set are curling

My biggest problem is a Magic player is the fact that this company makes so much fucking money selling cardboard, and they can't even be fucked to make foils that don't curl the second you pull them out of a pack. They managed it 20 years ago, but nope, too fucking difficult nowadays I guess

In the same vein- Ginger Beer. Specifically the great Jamaican brand in the yellow labeled bottles
