Trying to mount an iso image in the terminal and accidentally un-mounting your root drive.

Totally didn’t do that before…nope not even once, definitely not twice >.>

A lot of newer big “gamer” brand peripherals are coming bundled with proprietary software you gotta run to get full functionality.

A friend of mine recently tried Linux and had his scroll wheel not work because it was tired to the software on Windows for some stupid reason…

I saw this trend starting nearly a decade ago when Razers software bricked my Win7 PC by booting before the login screen, I’ve avoided any devices with mandatory software since, but seems the issue has only grown lately.

I dunno if the Hub software works but I do have a Seagate OneTouch portable 4TB drive and it worked without issues on Linux after reformatting like I would any other drive.

This project has been around for a good while for multiple platforms. I used to play it on a jailbroken PSP!

Think last time I played it someone uploaded a version of it to my colleges shared network drive, Will have to try it again. :)

Yeah I wasn’t expecting to make most of the money back, But if I can get a bit then it’s still money towards something I will use.

Selling it to try make some money back.

I built this PC before I even thought about switching to Linux.

Too many driver issues, couldn’t get Wayland working despite new drivers supposedly working with it.

Don’t worry I wasn’t planning on sticking my hands into a powered up PC anyway haha.

You just got me to remember something about a Vulkan package when I first installed Steam so gonna find the AMD package for that. Thanks!

Just note it works with ANY Winamp skin you just have to install them manually, My install I got from the AUR has the skins folder located /usr/share/audacious/Skins/

You can find most classic skins here! they are obviously very low resolution and don’t think people are making HD winamp skins these days…

I used to use ArcMenu back when I ran Gnome on PopOS and I remember you could switch the layout between a lot of different menu styles.

Wasn’t just the Win7 style one.

If you don’t already know what desktop you’re going to use I’d suggest KDE Plasma. It’s pretty close to Windows out of the box, and as another comment pointed out there’s Tiled menu for it which is basically a clone of Win10s menu.

I’ve seen quite a few people rocking NixOS with Hyperland. And I thought the whole idea of Nix was to be more stable than most rolling releases?

I don’t use either so I’m far from an expert on this.

They wanted to many years ago but the EU actually stopped them, out of fear Microsoft would have the monopoly on anti virus software or something.

Aaaa fuck off I still play BF1 and doubt I’ll get an origin refund after 400hours gameplay

‘I’m turning into a penguin’

Good onya mate!

Luckily the laptop doesn’t use Nvidia.

Hopefully soon my own desktop won’t either >.>

You can change the core count AFTER making the VM which I agree is really annoying.

Besides that everything else has worked more reliably than others options I’ve tried.

I hate to say it but having a full desktop is becoming more and more of an enthusiast setup.

Even laptops are becoming somewhat niche as people more just use their phone for all web browsing.

I understand having updates go south on you, I do use a rolling release on my own PC, Annnnd Windows 10 before that.

But I’m paranoid about security, increasingly so in recent times. So I at least want him on an updated web browser.
