By making that comment you did engage with it... Not commenting at all would have been disengaging...

I wouldn't advertise on the premise that Windows is a horrible, privacy invasive OS. Even though it's true that would easily be grounds for Windows to claim defamation and pummel the entire thing into the ground with legal fees

I feel like Linux alternatives often falter by trying to offer as extensive of a feature set as the proprietary options. GIMP would be better if it simplified it's menu's and focused on offering a strong central feature set, then expand on that core over time to offer a powerful workflow of it's own.

I noticed this especially with FreeCAD, which is trying to do like 12 things for some reason? Just offer intuitive parametric cad and focus on it. We don't need OpenSCAD inside FreeCAD because OpenSCAD is already it's own thing for example.

Because they can as well as being fun and novel to try and beat the game in weird, unintuitive ways? There are challenge runs similar to this* in Minecraft that get super popular all the time.

Similar in a conceptual sense, I've no idea the relative difficulty of these two different games nor the differing challenges offered in playing these way

I setup a micro PC with Ubuntu and plugged it into my TV for media streaming, and was just wondering if there was a way to optimize the experience for non KBM

Would not mind at all if consoles got lumped in and forced to allow alternative app stores

Yeah that's why I put it in quotes, it just kept popping up when I searched for distros more inclined towards gaming lol.

Yeah I didn't know about bazzite before going about this whole thing, but I am not going to try gaming on my system until nvk becomes more capable. Even then only light work.

I'm not necessarily a begginer as I have been using Linux for a few years now, but arch is definitely out of my wheelhouse

Crapped my system (sopuli.xyz)

This isn't me asking for help or anything, I already replaced it with fedora kinoite. I just felt like talking about this ridiculous venture of mine.

So a couple weeks ago I started hyper focusing on cities skylines, but played on my Xbox. I learned that mods and all kinds of fun custom content was available on PC so I tried to play on my system. Problem, my laptop has an rtx 2070, but I was running fedora kinoite and couldn't figure out how in the world to install nvidia drivers.

So after a bunch of searching around I give up and decide to try installing a "gaming" focused distro in the form of endeavour os. It was awful.

Maybe I am weird but the x11 rendering didn't feel good at all, the lack of some default applications, as well as a bunch of apps I didn't know the purpose of. (This one is my own fault since they have a kde spin, but I remembered why I didn't like gnome) and finally today it froze in the middle of an update and hard rebooted, no longer able to launch.

Worst part, I didn't do a lick of gaming on the thing cause I moved on to Borderlands 3

Not only is this comment stupid, but it isn't even remotely true. There are tons of famous, powerful individuals in all stretches of the public sphere that actively support Trump and the Republican party.

Hello, I am encountering a weird issue while trying to launch BattleBit. It gets through EAC just fine, and then suddenly throws an error saying, "could not switch to desired monitor resolution."

I am running on a laptop with a discrete rtx 2050, connected to a monitor with laptop display disabled, using the proprietary nvidia drivers on fedora 39 kinoite (Can't wait for fedora 40 to ship with NVK). I have tried multiple proton versions from beta, down to 6.06 at which point the game wouldn't launch at all. I also tried ProtonGE.

All of my other games work without issue.

Sidenote, this happens everytime I try to launch, except for once yesterday after a flatpak update which happened to include something with mesa, but for an unrelated application. I was able to play without issue for a few hours, but the issue cropped up again today.

Pixelfed is really interesting, and this sounds like a fun project!

The only problem major problem I have encountered with trying to use defederated social medias, outside of Lemmy, like it and mastadon has been the lack of discover ability. I guess I don't know how to properly utilize the platforms, but I never find much that is particular to my interests

[-] TheMonkeyLord@sopuli.xyz 18 points 5 months ago

This is awesome! I don't use the dedicated GPU on my laptop for anything outside light gaming, so I will definitely be switching to this as soon as it is available for Fedora

I think the overall sentiment is removing violence as an option for everyone, cops, citizens, and criminals alike

Guns as a thing in this world inherently create death and loss as a result of their existence, not in spite of it

This whole chunk of this model is getting cut when sliced

I have been trying to understand this for a minute and I can't seem to understand why you would use it on a personal workstation.

Like it makes sense for servers, and for deploying accross multiple systems in a corporate or public setting, but beyond that it seems like it is just adding unnecessary steps if you try to use it on your personal rig.

Maybe I'll need to just give in and try it for a week to a month to see the appeal

To be fair, if reddit employees are put in any danger by this debacle that will say far more about redditors themselves than spez. Hell it might say enough that he is concerned enough to forewarn employees.
