Beans. Corn. Memes collide.

The greatest TV show of all time, Star Trek: The Next Generation.

I grew up on it so I feel like I’m pretty nostalgic about it but watching it helps me reinforce my value system. It taught me young that our differences are what make us strong and that we can triumph against great odds if we can learn to accept each other and work together. In a world where violence and hate seem so prevalent every day, that message hits a lot harder than it did when I was a kid. Throwing on an episode of TNG lights up that little spark of hope I have left for our species. Well, as long as it’s not episode 4, Code of Honor. Lmao.

I wish I could watch it but my VCR is in the shop

RIP Killdozer

For real, what am I going to do when the sun swallows the earth in 4 billion years?

Nice tit bro

I don’t speak German but I completely agree, it really whipped the llama’s ass.

CachyOS is the best Linux experience I’ve ever had. I used to use Mint too but it had problems with my new hardware. I was hesitant because people always say Arch distros are hard to learn but what I don’t see mentioned is how much better they actually run. I’ve had zero problems so far, and that’s more than I can say for Windows 11 lol.

I’ve been doing this in command prompt:

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v BypassNRO /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

shutdown/r /t 0

After reboot it lets you choose “I don’t have internet” and you can continue with creating a local account.

Seems about 40% working, I personally only have one game that doesn’t jive with Linux. If the game you’re playing doesn’t work that’s the fault of the specific anti-cheat developers because it’s obviously possible to do it right.

Every few years I’ll look for something on craigslist and every time I’m amazed that it’s still going strong and it’s still exactly the same.

They could be posting instead of searching.

You can complain about click bait all day, that’s fine, but you came in here misinterpreting the article and then posted a non-relevant link to support your argument, followed by another back-pedaling comment to say “frame rates don’t matter as long as it’s over 30fps” LMAO.

I think you’re arguing just to argue, seems a little more childish than anything I said honestly.

The article said the frame rates are more stable under bazzite with windows fluctuating a lot more even at low power settings.

I read through that thread you linked and I didn’t see bazzite mentioned anywhere.

Who the hell is still paying for game pass? Lol

Crap internet and data caps.

That’s an option if you have unlimited internet, a lot of people don’t.

I have a spare drive with windows so I can play Battlefield 6, literally everything else I need or want works great on Linux. I’m hoping the anti cheat developers get more on board soon, maybe they’ll catch on after windows shits itself a couple more times due to the spaghettified AI code. I currently can’t get into recovery mode because Microsoft borked it with their last patch lmao.

I see your argument and discount it entirely.

If they want to use the law for protection they should be identifiable as law enforcement officers. This masked gestapo crap will not stand.

Everyone hypes Mint but if you’re working with newish hardware you might have a bad time due to the drivers taking a while to mature and filter down through all the distros. If her rig is a couple years old it should work just fine though. I would also suggest trying out Kubuntu, Pop!_OS, PikaOS, and Zorin if that is the case.

If she is on brand new hardware then something Arch based is the way to go IMO. CachyOS, Garuda, and EndeavorOS are all Arch based distros that make setup easy and they’ve all worked great for me out of the box. Honestly if you have snapshots configured with timeshift or something being on a rolling distro isn’t as scary as it’s made out to be. Fedora is an option too as they get updates every 6 months, but there is a little extra setup to do after install like media codecs and proprietary drivers etc.

Cachyos was my personal pick and it’s working perfect for me so far.
