  • I currently use GNOME and would continue to but if it were a low spec machine, probably icewm or jwm.

    y'all sure like KDE though 🤢

  • maybe the reality is somewhere between them marketing things but also being really passionate about something. good observations.

  • been using the hell out of bazzite (and bluefin at work), myself. It's terrific. it does come with the usual caveat about AAA games with anticheat often won't work but otherwise I don't think much about even checking to see if a game will run.

  • thanks for this bit of history. I had no idea joe was involved with Jupiter previously but it explains how he and Alex seemed to know each other.

    I'm glad that Joe's podcasts are still going. I find Chris and the Jupiter crew insufferable to listen to. the episodes feel like a mix of ads and cryptobegging between brief overly animated bits of content.

  • i am unfamiliar with osprober but if you're installing it from the AUR, it should be as easy as creating a distrobox container with arch as its base and running the installation command(s) from there, then a single line to export the command to your base system if you want to use it outside of that container.

  • distrobox will give you access to the AUR and should be installable on any distro but the immutable/atomic approach might be worth looking into. I've been running bazzite on my personal machine and bluefin on my work machine for about a year now and it's been great. the only snag is learning the order of operations for installing things without a reboot.

    I am just one data point but both distros have been rock solid for me and half the time I don't even realize updates had been run unless I see a new feature or something like that.

    good luck on your journey!

  • as soon as I saw the promod logo I was stoked. I played 1.6 and made the transition to source. played competitively in leagues for a long time. never got into cs:go or 2. I would love to try this out.

  • I love Bazzite and Bluefin. I use the former on my personal machines and the latter on my work laptop. I wonder how Bazzite DX will compare to Bluefin? I'm also curious if there's a difference between Bluefin and Bluefin DX or if they just started tacking on the extra letters recently?

  • gonna need to be higher priced so they can keep funding lawsuits.

  • I believe freetube uses yt-dlp, so probably eventually yes. Many of these tools do.

  • a pretty modern and mundane response but at the moment, the RM68 in Battlefield 2042. mostly because of the odd sound it makes and how solid the hit markers for it feel. it's certainly not the best gun in the game (or any game) but it's just nice.

  • came here to post this. my buddy had it and i still play it every couple of years.

  • read.write.as shows posts from users on that platform. maybe a good place to start looking. at any rate, it's pretty ad-hoc and manual because, while it federates, you're not going to see activity other than posting.

  • ZHA. Sensor model is 3RTHS0224Z and the ZigBee dingus is a SONOFF but I don't know which model offhand

  • Late to the party but I use several from third reality for temp/humidity both indoor and out. They're ZigBee based and I just have a little ZigBee dongle attached to my server. Basically no setup needed once the dongle is up. Just add batteries and then add them in HA.

  • I use threema with family but getting others to use yet another app (especially for thin social connections) is difficult.

    Depends on your threat model though, I guess.
