Think I've bought 4 cartridges since getting mine six years ago, so about £120. £20 a year isn't bad... We don't print much, but getting a laser mono is 5x the cost of our printer for the cheapest brother...

I don't even use a computer, I just hunt fish

Seeing ndiswrapper just brought back a twitch in my eye. I don't miss WiFi dongles / cards one bit.

This is the saving grace for so many people who are forced to use windows at work - I can do terminal stuff locally now which is great. Slow when working with windows directories (outside of WSL) but still great.

There are definitely "quirks", even with a lot of the gold/platinum rated games on protondb. E.g. Titanfall 2, horrible crackling audio issues at times, even though it runs great otherwise. Firewatch, random choppy slowdowns, but rare. BattleBit, sometimes (not too often) 20 seconds of 20fps, then back to normal.

The other thing worth noting is that just because a linux distro is noob friendly, it doesn't mean advanced users should feel the need to use more complicated distros. Quite the opposite in a lot of cases - I've used Linux for work over ~10 years (first tried it in 2007) and yet find myself back on Ubuntu for my laptop. PopOS for my desktop because of nvidia convenience (+ less issues than most other distros).

I'm finding the sync experience far nicer than Jerboa so far, not surprised. Jerboa fails to load comments half the time and I get errors constantly that stop content refreshes.

What about with a laptop where you can't disable secure boot? Ubuntu works with it ootb, very few other distros do.

You guys are getting payrises?

It's strange - in the UK we're usually getting toasty this time of year too, but we've had unusually mild weather despite many other parts of the world experiencing record temperatures. Feels like the mildest summer we've had in about 10 years.

I've had horrible luck with OpenRGB on Linux. On Windows it recognises my RAM, M/B, GPU with no issues, I can change colour, brightness, patterns etc. - but on Linux? Nothing, apart from some broken GPU recognition that only lets me change colour at almost 0 brightness.

Still, I'd love to see this improve as using the ASUS armour software on windows made me want to become Amish.

I just bought one of those 8bitdo usb adaptors - it works perfectly with Xbox one controllers etc

I've used vim for so many years now that it blows my mind when people act like it's difficult to use.

The same thing with installing Arch and even Gentoo .. if you've got good experience with something like redhat/centos and can read documentation it's a breeze.
