I have some xeons in an old server running that I can’t update to the next version of Rocky because the kernel won’t support them :(

But then you would just play dota or deadlock

For sure, my memory all together was like $30 when I bought it, the pleasure of old server hardware I suppose

Frequent write/deletes of so much data would be rough on my hdds, and I’ve got a couple hundred gigs of RAM, why not tmpfs it?

Hey you can always set up GPU rendering and like a tmpfs transcoding cache volume if you want your compose to look a little more complicated

I had an 11pm viewing and it was an excellent time. A very full theater, at certain moments you could hear a pin drop. I loved the movie in spite of it’s deviations from the book.

My favorite part of koreader is the reading statistics and historical calendar view

This post is about a hetzner host so I would assume it’s static

Look they’re self reporting right here!

Huh, I played through worlds without any issues but I’m pretty sure it was because I’m on amd

It’s pretty rare to find a game that doesn’t work for a reason that isn’t anticheat. I would say the few that are incompatible definitely classify as the exception and not the rule.

It would be neat for someone to migrate this data set to a Lemmy instance

It has displayport already, the hdmi concerns are regarding its utility with a television.

“Not being a total bastard” is a weird way to describe overhauling the gaming on linux experience at no additional cost to the end user, among many other incredibly pro consumer choices they’ve pushed in the last twenty odd years.

Short of manually deleting .git you can always find any commit, you can walk backwards through your reference lof if it comes to it, the only real risk is throwing out unstaged changes.

I would not expect rsync to have frequent disconnects, no.

I’m not going to pretend I’ve been a Linux purist my entire life or anything. The landscape for daily driving desktop Linux was really rough in the time period you described attempting to migrate, but I had Linux laptops assigned to each kid in my school circa 2007 and that ignited my interest in the platform. My father was an enthusiast and build a safe environment for me to experiment as a kid when I otherwise would have been out of my depth. I had a Linux box, usually an Ubuntu derivative, around pretty much continuously from 2012-2017 which would have been pre-uni for me and served as just an environment I could easily play with making small web projects and Minecraft mods and whatnot. But I gamed on windows for most of that time. I think when proton hit I failed to install arch and bounced over to Manjaro which was my main gaming distro untill maybe ~2021 when I got tired of things breaking because of the aur and just migrated to arch using the arch install script came out and I was able to set it up trivially. Since then it’s been pretty much “it just works” level compatibility, there are some niche things about my setup that are a little more complicated like some networked pulseaudio stuff and a bunch of development tools I need for work at this point, but overall I have my wife running fedora on her laptop and using a steam deck in desktop mode at her desk and she generally is able to do her schooling and whatnot without issue. I think the only real program she has issues with is an examination specific browser that she has to use another machine in the house for. I have not daily driven windows for the better part of the last decade and while I definitely have frustrations with no great CAD solution and the antagonistic relationship with publishers like EA and Epic Games, I also just am able to play my friendslop and souls games without any issues at all. I’m sorry you had negative experiences with the community, but it’s kinda weird to direct your negative feelings for the losers that gatekept you at the entire platform, particularly when the platform grossly outsizes this particular niche and it’s through the support of countless open source developers that we have the ability to do anything outside of the scope of Windows spyware or the fenced garden that is MacOS.

If you just want an experience as straight forward as the steam deck I have heard that the move is to just run Bazzite.

The rage bait isn’t even funny anymore lmao, most used OS on the planet btw. Have fun sucking microsoft off I guess

Doesn’t exploding require combustion?
