16·10 days agoTo be fair as a society we have never really cared about suicide. So why bother now (I say as a jaded fuck angry about society)
I know it’s part of the OS right
So seems like it does have that. Which is awesome! Thanks!
Printer drivers, weird random things like that.
Oh sweet, KDE is nice! It’s nice OOTB and still powerful.

2·17 days agoI can see your PoV. It’s a cool concept and I do think we will get to it but it’s going to take time and patience. There are so many weird niche edge cases that need to be sorted out before it can work without breaking anything, tbh if I’m talking about an agentic OS, it needs to live in its own container or VM. That way it can’t break my OS and I can just rebuild it incase something breaks. This is ignoring the privacy and security issues. Right now it’s still in the research phase IMO. And in no way something I would allow running in my (if I had one) company.
How is bazzite? Does it have a more complete desktop env than the steam deck?

I’ve found it easier to switch to Linux and using windows on a VM or docker image. Tho I had my plan for the migration and used markdown as a means to avoid Ms word.

Treat each distro like an ice cream flavor. Some are good, some are bad, some are great and some will make you go what the flying fuck. Try and find what you like. There’s a lot out there.

Check out Lutris as a launcher for non steam games.

See 5. Different desktop environments for different people see what calls you. I was all up in KDE and the moves to sway.

Most games with Denuvo

Maybe but depends on the parts. It’s either change the part or figure out a complex workaround. You’ll find manufacturers that have better support for Linux.

Likewise I’ve no love for fedora just keep hearing its easy to use and beginner friendly so I keep recommending it. Haven’t used it since I guess my attempt at installing fedora core 4.

2·2 months agoWhat I’m gathering is always check the library for the instructors notes!
Also can’t they technically just give you a PDF with the questions. I never bought text books cause of that. I don’t think I’ve bought a textbook for school after highschool.
For me there were some text books you could just download from the author’s website.
