This is for real the Linux desktop year for me, went through the switch just before the new year. Had to reinstall a couple times but no big deal, and I get to learn as well.

Not sure if out-of-the-box distros are now that user friendly yet or not, but I remember getting Ubuntu running several years ago was frustrating (no sound, bad sound quality etc) and now running EOS was pretty smooth. Pretty sure something like Mint will be user friendly enough for the general population.

It’s actually pretty good! I made it several times when I was a kid. It will curdle a little bit though…

So the article from valve is to support those who use NTFS anyway, but if I’m formatting the lib drive as BTRFS, it should be buttery smooth? (Probably not that smooth but gotta make the pun)

Thanks for the recommendation, will definitely look into this!

It’s like that in most of East Asia (and Southeast as well). I don’t know what will turn that around, Thailand’s cannabis legalization was the only hope but that is also at risk of being taken back.

I see, you’re probably right…I remember trying mounting ext4 drive on Windows and couldn’t get it to work. I’ll probably experiment a little with NTFS, maybe the devs have worked it out? But I’ll keep your warning in mind. Thanks for the input!

I see…that could probably affect a shared steam library I guess? I’m aiming to use almost exclusively though, wish me luck!

Glad you’re happy with EOS, I hope it will fit me as well.

While I don’t have technical issues with Windows so far… they are obviously having a massive FOMO at the shitty cash-grab business model of many tech platforms (especially with the rumor of Win 12…) and I’m not OK with that.

Thanks for your reply! That’s reassuring.

Yes, it’s already a bit shitty, so it’s time to be an active part of the Linux community. Year of the Linux desktop amirite!

Holy cow, eh…

And his sandals.

I drove a diesel engine car for a while and felt everyone was so SLOW even on the fast lane, as if they’re sightseeing or something. Then I tried a gasoline car and I noticed that I have a better temper. Turns out the diesel engine vibration is more noticeable at low RPM and it’s getting to my nerves.

I’d assume driving would be the worst for mental health since you don’t get any exercise and can’t do anything else either. You can finish some work or read a book on the train, or get some exercise through walking or biking, but with cars none of these.

Dude, nobody’s obsessed with their genitals but the zealots…

Yes, but you wouldn’t eat that much chili as much as broccoli, would you?

I skin and cut my mangoes off the seed, devour the fruit around the seed and throw it away along with the skin, clean up, then eat the cut up fruit. That way I can be as messy as I want then enjoy the rest of the fruit while being clean.

Wouldn’t this thread be super biased to Linux users since those who use linux as a daily driver tend to talk about it more often than win/mac users?
