Idk mainstream users should learn to learn and empower themselves with knowledge.

The enshitification of hardware and software by constantly catering to the dumbest of people is hurting everybody.

Or users could maybe learn how to do things without having their hands held and treated like babies every step of the way; or at least how to search for information to find what they need… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Middle-click often works when ctrl+c/ctrl+v won’t. It’s also a separate buffer giving you the ability to have two different things copy/paste-able

I really wish we’d stop saying “anti cheat” and start saying “system compromising rootkit software”

“My baby, you have blossomed into a wonderful adult. It’s time to stop relying on us now, though. Go on and do big things, or something…”

Don’t forget that they fund the military complex.

Daniel Ek? More like Daniel Ick

I only run arch, btw. 🤣

I was thinking a “shit” mode but “stable” does sound nicer lol.

Nobody should be those people. Those people are constantly giving the industry a reason to water everything down and make things as overpriced and limited as possible.

Arm processor, an nVidia graphics card, and Ubuntu? Err, doesn’t sound great.

Imagine turning Windows into an even shittier version of itself, and you’ve got S mode.

Can’t install shit unless it’s from the MS Store. Can’t use a browser unless it’s Edge. Not sure what other stupid shit it enforces. It’s supposed to harden the system, but I find that hard to believe.

Whoa, I didn’t know Sabayon was still around. I remember poking around with it in like… 2007 or 2008? It was one of the only ones with Beryl and I wanted to check out the silly eye candy

Yeah, no idea. Turns out I already had dkms installed. Ah well, it’s not a huge deal because I can still ssh or live-usb boot if I really cook something

I agree. I’m a long-time Linux user and I’ve never seen this before. TTY works fine on bootup, but I’m guessing as soon as the Nvidia drivers kick in, that’s when it shits the bed. I’ll make some btrfs snapshots and try the dickums (lol) driver later today. Here’s hoping!

Arch, gtx980, nouveau.

Maybe I should check out dkms

Not necessarily a pain to install, however I’ve had a lot of stupid issues - like not being able to open a TTY session., I can’t run Sway, and Hyprland absolutely refuses to work with my 3 monitor setup.

Linux is a great platform for developing things like bots in.

Reddit is 90% bots.

Makes sense to me. 🤣

I jumped from Ubuntu over to Arch because I was getting fed up with all the things I wanted to do being unavailable in Ubuntu, but all in the Arch repo or AUR.

I’ve been using Debian-based distros for like 25 years, so it was definitely a bit of a change, but it didn’t take long to adjust. I’m glad I made the change.

I fucking hate YAML. Everything about it is shit. I have no idea why it exists. “Oop, my config failed because I accidentally used an extra tab” should not be a thing.

Anybody that uses any of that shit can get fucked. KDL, too. I almost used Zellij until I saw how brain-dead their config system was.

Ah ok, now that makes a bit more sense. Yeah, I guess for the sake of app portability, appimages and the like do make a lot of sense.
