Where is Collective Shout when you need them?

As others have mentioned, an alternative distro ypu can try is Bazzite. It’s an immutable distro, so most of the OS is read-only. The OS gets installed on 2 partitions (so you’ll need roughly double the storage space) but you’ll boot into one while updates get pushed into the dormant one. When the OS reboots, you’ll get the recently patched partition while the older one waits for updates and also serves as a backup, just in case.

There’s also Nobara, which is based on Fedora but with gaming specific addons. I think you’ll be able to easily install nVidia drivers as well. It is also a rolling release distro so you’ll get faster updates which I think is better if you want to game in linux.

Built.myself a new.gaming desktop and decided to dive into thw deep end by installing linux. Been working quite well, so far. Almost all the games i play do not use any anti-cheat, so i don’t feel that i’m missing out on anything. The only game which does not work that well is Roadcraft. I’ll just wait until it is patched to run better. I have lots of games in my backlog to play anyway.

Something different and possibly unique / whimsical.

A lot of train stations have a rubber stamp + ink pad of the station name and a logo / picture. As you trvel around Tokyo via their excellent public transport system, look around or ask their staff where the “ike-stamp” is.

It became a very unique souvenir of my holiday there.

Also along the same line, most shrines you visit will have an office where you can purchase a “shrine book” and for a few hundred yen, have a staff write in it the name of the shrine and the date you were there. Another unique souvenir.

I have only used Bazzite and Nobara and both have worked very well. The former is an immutable distru while the latter is a trsditional distro. Just depends on what kind of system you prefer. They are both worlds apart.

After reading and understanding the fineprint, I’ve now forgotten what I wanted to order in the first place. LOL

Also weird that the restaurant pays the staff the absolute bare minimum and you need to supplement their income based on how much you order.

Get to da choppa.

Wing Commander series. Played a lot of Wing Commander 1 to 5 as well as the spinoff Privateer.

I also spent a good amount of time playing Civilization 1.

That brings back lots of memories!

Quite possibly Philippines.

I vaguely remember if I wanted to play it in single player, I would press select first before entering the code for it to trigger in the correct mode. LOL

It’s not working? Try blowing into the cartridge again.

I still have an account but no longer contribute anything. I occasionally visit it to see what’s up but that’s about it. I do nit have the app installed and only access via the browser.

Back to the Future.

A normal Doc Brown wouldn’t have invented a time machine.

Back in the early days of Win10, an updated messed up my system and I ended up with duplicated icons. Wasn’t happy, but didn’t feel that it was that big of a deal to warrant a full reinstall.

2 years ago I built myself a new desktop and decided to try installing Linux straight away. Haven’t looked back since.

Another big fan of Darknet Diaries.

Ever since Michael Bazzle of Privacy, Security & OSINT stopped doing the podcasts, I’m still trying to find a replacement. Am listening to The Lockdown - Practical Privacy and Security in the mean time.

Also listen to Linux Game Cast.

Bazzite has been smooth sailing about 80% of the time for me. The rest of the 20% were due to either plasma or runner crashing, requiring me to perform a hard reset using the power button. And then it magically atarted working again. I’ve also had my home folder become read-only on occasion. Very strange.
