Ah yes I tried bazzite too and it wouldn’t even boot for me so I went mint since I had it years ago. It can be annoying if you don’t have the time or don’t enjoy troubleshooting. I’m unsure why freecad is running poor. Nvidia card?

That’s so cool. I do a lot with audio tape (mostly 1/4" 7.5ips and 15ips), but never data tape.

And not even owning it…and they’ll keep upping the price little by little, slowly sucking us dry

Using mint or ?

I’m running pop on 3 machines. One is an old Dell core 2 duo, and I’m amazed how quick it runs and never freezes (10g ram, 120gb ssd). Only issue issue have is the pop shop freezes up sometimes, even on my higher power machine. Otherwise, solid.

Yep, don’t give in to ease of streaming, that’s how they win, and take it all from you. Everyone needs to own what they pay for.

That’s me. ADD and 678 folders of digital media is not fun. I need physical. Plus, it’s actually real then.

All a part of corpos plan to make it so you can never own anything ever again. Subscriptions only. Drink a verification can to skip song.

I laugh when people think cds are old. They’re still the best form of digital physical media. Now I prefer analog media of course, but convenience and portability of digital is nice.

We have off grid days on the weekend. I love it. I’d do it more if work didn’t require it or I didn’t have people who call me for help with things.

I actually enjoy talking with others on here. My worldview has expanded because of it.

That’s well and good for us, but then we are just the isolated few who do it compared to all our friends that stay with discord because they’re comfortable on it.

That is sweet
- Comment on Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company 2 weeks ago:
Already have embedded ads. I’m about done with this shit and willing to have no one to talk to just so I don’t give discord the satisfaction of using their Spyware.

Problem is people are fucking lazy and will not move to another platform. I want teamspeak and vent back but people nowadays won’t even try. So we are forced to keep using it. People have no balls to stand up to corpos just to learn something new. It’s infuriating.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 5 weeks ago:
I just wasn’t sure fedora based (bazzite) would be as easy to troubleshoot as mint (Debian based) since arguably debian/Ubuntu are the most popular distro.

Bazzite refused to boot for me…I stuck with mint as it’s always ran pretty good. Old amd fx 8 core and a Radeon rx580

I’ve been hard at trying to get games i like to work in mint. It takes a lit of time but it’s going ok. Like you said though kind of sucks for multi-player. I can’t even get diabolical multi-player to work (after I looked up how to fix the instant crashing audio driver issue) . It’s also a lot of qork getting any racing game to work with my DFGT…even though linux does see the axis and buttons, the force feedback is all messed up. Wish I knew how to code so I could fix these issues! But I don’t have 12 hours a day to ever learn that

They don’t realize it’s the big shiny companies that are actually scamming them and stealing their data.
- Comment on If you're still on Reddit... 5 weeks ago:
I was never put off by it, but I tend to like less shiny things.
- Comment on If you're still on Reddit... 5 weeks ago:
How can you convince anyone to get off these ? Everyone I’ve showed lemmy to is terrified it’s a virus, and what chat platforms are there besides messenger that we can convince anyone to go to? Maybe I need smarter friends, lol.
- Comment on "You should probably just throw it away" 1 month ago:
Is this a better alternative to going with bazzite or garuda? Or will support be lost once ms moves to win 11 only ? I love linux but I am worried I won’t be able to game or use vr (quest2) without a bunch of work. I play a lot of racing Sims, steam games which I’m fine with, but my friends do play pubg which I’d have to abandon due to the stupid anti cheat. I’d like to not have to dual boot but I may have to for vr…
