Same. I didn't even worry about Linux until a year ago, and was willing to put up with the buggy dual boot for two months before wiping it. Luckily I got a new laptop last fall and it works perfectly on this one. I LOVE Mint and prefer it over Windows for nearly everything.

Thanks for the extensive explanation. I was almost certain you were joking about using Git for that purpose but it seems you are being serious :)

I will stick to my Restic backups for now. :)

The week of the Linux Desktop is everyday

I've never been more ready. - My PC

could be, but probably referring to no notifications, fan noise, and/or HDD clicking

I literally presented the first draft for switching to linux at the company I work for, today...

This is a mastodon post.

I’m getting a chameleon as a pet.

Tried again last weekend to install and play "Strange Antiquities" on linux mint. Again - as expected - shit wouldn't work.

Linux people say their shitty software works, but it actually doesn't. And they're to antisocial to come together and work united on 1 distro and 1 distro only to make it better for everyone.

But that's the fun part. I switch OSes so I can get back into configuring.

Strange, it's verified on steam so it should work with no problem, did you try forcing compatibility tools in game properties?

Skill issue?

Do people on Lemmy not know what a joke is?

probably forgot to pacman -S humor

Can't wrap your head around multiple specialized distros existing, or what's the issue?

Make Arch Great Again!

Huh? Game works fine on my Steam Deck and my Bazzite laptop. Using regular Proton without having to change anything.

I don't think a week is long enough

And then @lightnsfw@reddthat.com heard about NixOS, where the whole OS, along with all services like Matrix or nginx is configured using a couple of text files, all versioned in Git...

Skimmed your history to see if there was any indication of what your hardware/setup was. Slim on details beyond "Linux mint with an old/underpowered CPU", but I happen to have a Linux Mint machine with an astonishingly bad CPU (Pentium Gold 4425Y, 2 cores, 1.7GHz) and only 4GB of RAM, so I decided to give it a spin.

Downloaded the demo from steam, changed nothing, hit play, game launched just fine and got to the main menu, but crashed to desktop trying to actually start the game. Tried a bit of tinkering, no dice.

Did run just fine with no tinkering on two other more powerful machines though.

Thanks for typing all this up

Kind of like what most of the Windows complaints are on here.

New pride week just dropped

I realize that, what I said was that the prevalence of posts (mostly from xitter) that read bottom to top creates the situation where it's not automatically obvious at a glance that a post should be ready from top-down anymore. Hence the confusion of the commenter above.

I was explaining why they had to ask, not wondering why this post is read top-down.

that's why I said could be

What are you telling me? That I have to reconfigure everything all the time?

No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to.

It's kinda nice when you learn to like the defaults.

There's no "defaults" for a bunch of shit I use my PC for.
