Oh yeah there are loads of great examples. Point being, official development stopping means nothing for the homebrew scene. If anything, it might actually be a good thing because there won't be any updates to break homebrew apps

The only silver lining is that this will encourage the homebrew scene to take off. The same thing happened with the PS Vita as soon as support started to wane.

We're all in this together. At least until rent is so high that we just leave lmao

Idk why but Linux on a PS3 is a dragon I will always be chasing. Was it at all usable back in the day?

Raspberry Pi OS. Basically Debian for ARM plus some Raspberry Pi specific addons. It got me curious about Linux in general, led me to try dual booting Windows and Ubuntu on my desktop. Then Manjaro, Endeavour, and now just recently ditched my Windows install in favour of Arch. Will never go back if I can help it.

You're portraying your personal preference as an expected standard.

Hey fair enough, to each their own. I like my method because it feels 'native' to the given DE, like it was included by default. I've used multiple gui apps from different providers, don't really miss any features they had that my method doesn't.

I like having a visual method, and having it in my connections menu makes the most sense to me. But fair point, the CLI route is quickest.

Personally never ran into this. And if I did, downloading an archive full of configuration files takes 10 seconds and adding a new connection takes no longer. Not a big deal imo.

This is what I always wanted from The Crew. It's sense of scale is all off though

I've always preferred to use OpenVPN configuration files for setting up VPNs on Linux, rather than using the VPN providers app.

Basically, you need to install a few packages: openvpn and networkmanager-openvpn. This second one is optional, but it allows you to simply pick a VPN connection from the same drop-down applet you connect to WiFi from.

Then, all you do is head to https://account.protonvpn.com/downloads, download the OpenVPN configuration files, extract them somewhere, then use the network manager menu to pick one of the servers. When you're adding the connection, it'll require your VPN login info. This isn't the same as your regular login though, to find that, head to https://account.protonvpn.com/account, and the credentials are listed under "OpenVPN/IKEv2 Username".

Once this is setup, connecting to a VPN is as simple as opening your network applet, then clicking on your VPN of choice. You can add as many VPN connections as you want to switch between servers easily. Really handy to not need a VPN providers' specific app just to connect to a server.

Since I switched to AMD about a month ago. Literally every naggling issue I had with NVidia is gone. Only complaint is that I didn't switch sooner.

Ignore this if you're on Wayland, it doesn't have this problem. If you have two monitors, X11 throws a hissy fit over varying refresh rates. Ie, your main monitor runs at 144, the secondary runs at 60. If you launch a game on the 144hz monitor, it often locks it to the lowest refresh rate (60 in this example). Double check to make sure the game is actually running at the desired refresh rate (easiest way is to turn off the second, slower monitor and launch the game. 144hz would now be the lowest refresh rate).

Also look into CPU scheduling. Could be locked to a power saving governor. You want it on a dynamic or performance mode. Also check out if Resizable BAR is enabled in your BIOS.

Everything about this seems kinda sus. The website is worded very strangely, makes a lot of big but really vague claims, shits on other OSs, just generally seems... again, "kinda sus" is the best way my lizard brain can describe it.

I went black and, well, you know the saying.

One of the upsides is it's now really easy to tell what places sell garbage tier coffee (cough, Tim Hortons, cough)

My sister adopted two inbred cats a while back. Two of the sweetest, dumbest things I've ever met. One of them, Tony (who we called the sewer monster, among, many, many other names), was stunted, so even at a few years old was no bigger than my current 4 month old kitten. Everything was stunted except for his teeth though, which seemed to be full sized. So he always had these vampire fangs hanging out of his mouth. He had to get them all removed too, which just made him look even weirder. Poor little freak of nature passed last year, miss his gummy little face lol

They only mentioned it in passing once (afaik) in a blog post. These aren't actual plans so much as a pipe dream I think
