Even worse, shés using Windows 11. But a friend of her’s who’s the IT guy for every old lady in the area loves Microsoft products and I can’t do anything against it.

Even proposing to be available to help wasn’t enough…

Stupid me, I didn’t see the link😅

If only my mom was also open minded about switching to Linux.

Offering her IT assistance wasn’t enough…

And that’s why we really need some phones where the average user can use Linux.

Yeah but so many people wouldn’t.

You have Arch in NixOS? I guess I don’t understand what NixOS really is, even if I’m interested in its ability to be reproduced from one computer to another.

Good as developpers should optimize instead of just counting on more powerful hardware.

Yeah it’s important to know that the first step in an issue free experience on Linux is just getting the right computer.

Still nothing beats a free computer and I’m really happy to have my wifés old MacBook Pro running Fedora for some tasks that my daily driver can’t do. Luckily the broadcom issues happens around once every 2 years for me and not with every update.

And my daily driver, a Microsoft Surface Go hooked to a big screen has other issues, like sometime being really slow when it’s usually quite fast for such low end hardware.

When I’ll inevitably have to replace these, I’ll try to find more suitable Linux friendly second hand devices…

I haven’t changed anything on my Steam Deck, so no😅

Edit: I might also be mistaking the vulkan shader step with some other validation step

Gcompris is great and you can find in Gnome Software manager.

Since you seem to know way more than me about these things, could you tell me why I feel like I’ve never experienced these on a console (Playstation) and I experience it quite often on PC (Steam Deck)?

But did you ask creators if you could mirror their channels? Because if you didn’t, you’re just robbing them of some of their revenue.

I understand the need to have more content on Youtube, but I don’t think we should steal it.

I easily found almost enough Linux channels, but I can’t find basketball or videogames reviews channels.

I think we’ll get more content if one day you get the ability to show creators we’re supporting them through Patreon or something else.

I love Peertube, but I remember that finding an instance wasn’t so easy.

Still I wanted to try it, so I was ready to go through some difficulties, but most people would just give up.

Linux gaming is good enough that I would consider not getting the Playstation 6 if I didn’t have kids and didn’t want to watch basketball through the nba league pass.

I’m trying to get my kids to play with the Steam Deck, but it’s honestly still not as good as a Playstation for such a use.

Still it’s going the right way.

It would be a good deal if you kept the games forever, but since they’re linked to your subscription, it ain’t worth it to me😇

Why would you wish to be highly sensitive to an increase/decrease in fps.

That’s just a curse and you should be happy you don’t have it.

You can just enjoy more games with a cheaper pc/console.

People are criticizing Playstation, but I’m still really happy to have a Playstation 5 alongside my Steam Deck.

As much as I love playing old games on the deck and it has now become my main console, I’m happy to have my Playstation 5 for demanding games (mostly sim racing) and to watch blurays.

Having a powerful PC would not bring me the versatility my Steam Deck/Playstation 5/Surface Go 1 is giving me for now.

Although that might change if the Playstation 6 comes without blurays.

I don’t understand why some PC people feel the need to say consoles are useless, when it’s only to them that they would be.

Did you mean this? If there is nothing written, does it mean the game is DRM free as if we were on GOG?

Oh I’m gonna have a look at my games out of curiosity then.

How do you know if a Steam game is DRM free or not?

How do you install such games without Steam through Linux? Is it just an .exe and you click on it as I haven’t done it since probably the early 00’s?
