Can I ssh into a server and not lose all productivity yet? Last time I tried ghostty I had to setup separate configs for my servers because they didn’t recognize it :/

It’s a shame we don’t have those banner ad schemes anymore. Cybersquatting could be a viable income stream if you could convince the cleaners to click banner ads for a faction of a penny each.

Sometimes I feel like I have to physically pull people away from things they aren’t going to like. Everyone wants to learn how to drive a semi with a b-train, but they should be starting on the good old reliable Camry.

It’s scary and disorienting, but imo it’s worth it.

I can now say anecdotally I have more friends that have tried Linux and are happier on it, than I have friends who went back to Windows.

Most of the people who went back went back for edge cases, weird hardware or that “one game” that has kernel level anticheat and doesn’t run on Proton.

I’ve been investing in my bluray collection again and I can’t believe how good 1080p blurays look compared to “UHD streaming” .

Well I spent entirely too much time thinking about this. I guess so? Though I’m more of an HE calendar person…

This is actually how my professor, who has a PhD in mathematics, does math.

The thing about sales, are that if they happen every month is no longer a big event.

I feel like an old man yelling at a cloud here, but it really seems like everything is on sale all the time, but the sales aren’t actually sales they’re just the price a thing should be

Yeah, when i played through it i quickly discovered that I’d have to set aside a few hours at a time in order to actually let myself enjoy it.

Luckily, this was mid 2020 and i had just gotten laid off, so i had time.

Google commenting on the decline of open standards feels like a tobacco company commenting on cancer rates.

I know it’s not indicative of the industry as a whole, but the Steam hardware survey has Nvidia at 75%. So while they’re still selling strong, as others have indicated, I’m not confident they’re getting used for gaming.

I’m not buying this just because Konami can get stuffed. They canned Kojima then rereleased his greatest work.

Yeah, it was super fun. I tried reformatting, I bought a new drive and put new Windows on it and the same thing happened.

I could drill down into the work that went into DXVK before Proton came about, enabling the Steam Deck, but that’s a boring history lesson. I will concede that newer bleeding edge hardware is far more likely to be plug and play on Windows, but one of the leading reasons I transitioned was Windows removing support for the audio chipset on the motherboard for my Ryzen 1600. Every time I rebooted, I’d have to unpack a zip file and reinstall the audio drivers, it was maddening.

In my experience (so, totally anecdotal), my hardware is stable longer on Linux than Windows.

Yeah that’s the biggest reason I haven’t pulled the trigger on a VR set.

The pace of hardware for the last few years has been crazy rapid with almost zero thought given to non-windows OS’s. The people working on reverse engineering drivers for headsets get one operable just in time for it to be out of date.

I mean, yes, but I also do dev coding work, run AI models, produce audio and video content from my machine. But years ago I adopted a ‘No BS’ software approach and rid myself of software that was deliberately getting in my way so transitioning to a fully *Nix workflow wasn’t an issue for me.

If anyone working with aggressively anticonsumer software right now tried to switch, it’s a nightmare.

Nvidia is a real stepping stone on itself, keep with it and I’m sure you’ll learn your way around.

Think of it like moving to a new house. Even if you put your furniture in the same place, the floor plan is different, so for the first little bit you’re bound to stub your toe in the dark.

If all you do is game, outside of a few key games (Destiny 2, uhh,couple others) the experience on Linux is better for many folks.

I like the idea that they approached Sony about making a Horizon game but Sony said no and they were like "Oh, well, this game is coming out…

Lenovo also sells older models for dirt cheap on their website sometimes.
