  I have a 3090. As long as you have the correct drivers and a quality emulator (I think I use glorious eggroll’s experimental proton branch) quality is quite comparable.

  Most accessories are plug and play these days, so Nvidia may have actually been the only one. Not all distros can detect the best Nvidia drivers automatically, and finding and installing the right one can be a pain. Which makes it borderline impossible for a low tech person looking to make the jump to Linux.

  Notably, it’s also entirely possible that the issues I dealt with were more to do with poor Wayland implementations than drivers. Either way, Garuda has worked beautifully and easily.

  I made the switch almost a year ago when they started announcing all the spyware coming to win11. The distro you choose matters a LOT. After several that were buggy and frustrating I landed on Garuda dragonized. Setup was easy with their assistant finding the drivers I needed and I have yet to have any system breaking updates. Better track record than windows TBH. Performance is great, and steam integrates so well with proton that my experience is honestly just as good as windows native. I should probably go make a donation to the Garuda project, now that I’m thinking about it.

  Getting this specific ad one too many times is actually what finally motivated my lazy ass to switch from sync to eternity

  When I graduated college my (country, but well spoken) parents wrote me a card in the most backwoods hick spelling and grammar they could come up with. Fun memory.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The inarguable case for banning social media for teens⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Calling people who are trying to protect children pure evil is unhelpful rhetoric. Disagreeing with their opinion is helpful. Sharing an anecdote against their proposals is helpful. Personal attacks are unhelpful and do more harm than good for the conversation. I will admit that they set the stage in bad faith by calling their stance ‘inarguable’.

  I’ve done a lot of this research recently. I’m out of town rn, but if you want to DM me sometime next week when I have access to my computer I’d be happy to put together a summary of my findings.

  Evolve stage 2! Very fun and very unique game. Their battle pass monetization scheme fizzled out and they took down the servers. There may be some community run servers going, but getting onto them for a small player base that’s going to beat my ass just doesn’t seem worth.

  I use one because it lowers my screen time. I can walk away from my phone and still be aware of texts and calls from family.

  He’s obsessed with his image, I would bet he spends significant time reading posts about himself on social media. Your best bet, without having a bunch of money to put towards the cause, is to post about him on truth social. However, any message of the nature of your example would be deleted before he had a chance to read it.

  If you have some money but not Elon money, the suggestions from others are probably your best bet and less likely to get filtered out if negative. Billboard, swarm of social media bots, etc.

  I would characterize the crust as more colony sim than RTS. It’s definitely rough around the edges, but it has a strong foundation and I expect it will be a great game when finished.
