Still the only handheld PC that doesn’t come with a dogshit OS and an abysmal battery life. The deck doesn’t do well despite its low specs and alternative OS, it does well because of them.

The burger is fine, but the sides are usually amazing.

Yes. I understand that and I’m well aware of what you’re describing, that is why I said I try not to let my nostalgia get the better of me.

I’m saying I enjoy this aesthetic mainly for nostalgic reasons. I am not necessarily saying this is superior to current aesthetics. I do miss this era, yes, and you are correct that is more about me than the aesthetic itself.

That doesn’t mean this isn’t beautiful or pleasant in some way, and I don’t think it’s wrong to enjoy or explore older aesthetics even if it’s out of nostalgia.

I realize the way my comment was worded made it seem like a comment about the era rather than the aesthetic.

Edit: contradicted myself there. Sorry, it’s kinda hard to get a consistent thought out on mobile.

I grew up with XP as well, and while I’m still nostalgic for it, it just feels kinda flat compared to the vista/7 aero theme. Not really boring, but not as interesting as aero imo. Still a vibe though.

I try not to let my nostalgia get the better of me, but god damn I really miss when everything looked like this.

So far I’ve been able to run everything I need to off of it, and libreoffice works very well with office docs in my experience.

I don’t get why this is specific to millennials.

Gives me hope for a proton drive app. As soon as that’s available and viable I’ll be able to drop my mega subscription.

Linux is about on-par with windows xp/7 as it stands, and it has been for a while. The reason people haven’t switched is OEM and software support.

Lost a couple hours of work on the snap version of krita since it couldn’t save the file for some reason. Switched away from Ubuntu as a whole after that experience.

Honestly, fish is the only thing I hate about Garuda. The variety of commands is good, but doing any kinda scripting in it physically hurts me. Wish they kinda just stuck with a more conventional shell like zsh.

Cool. It should still use it though. If for nothing else than the parallelization improvements it allows.

If we stuck with the “it works fine so I’m not moving away from it” approach then we’d all still be on x11. Nvidia sucks and they should be more of a team player, but I think they were right to push for explicit sync over implicit. We should’ve been doing this from the beginning on wayland.

1. The hack mainly targeted Debian and fedora

2. Arch doesn’t directly link openssh to liblzma, so the hack doesn’t affect arch users.

Ah. Still, neat pun.

On Linux (Mesa), this feature is known as PRIME.

OH THAT’S WHY IT’S CALLED OPTIMUS

Yeah it’s pretty much the same for me.

Yeah wayland on KDE+nvidia is pretty much perfect now, the only problems I have are xwayland stuttering and the KDE drawing tablet config not mapping out my tablet’s scroll wheel. Both of these issues mean it’s pretty much impossible for me to get any work done in krita lol, but I’m sure it’ll continue to get better.

The natural state of the internet is just trekkies and tech geeks, everyone else is an invasive species.

That’s actually fair. I barely pay attention to AAA gaming to begin with, so most of these games just weren’t on my radar. I just thought “oh, Starfield was the big hyped flop of the year, of course there wasn’t much AAA competition”
