I’ve been making a huge dent in my library since last year. I’ve fully completed over half of my 200+ library. I shouldn’t, but will probably get some new games to add to the decreasing backlog so that I can have more backlog to play! :P

Amen.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Man, I have wasted so much oxygen trying to get even somewhat sensible people to view the world in a different way than they currently do. Good luck.

From the admin post:

“If you’re moving to another instance, consider adding a note to your lemm.ee profile with your new username. Your old profile will still be visible from other instances even after we go offline.”

And people will STILL try to push the door, or wait for it to open.

Voluntary censorship is just so weird to me… Like, people died so you could speak freely, and yet you censor fkn… Wow.

I use StartAllBack (I guess it’s the same developer?) and love how it made File Explorer more robust again. :)

As someone who has been on Linux (openSUSE Tumbleweed) for almost 6-7 months now, I still don’t understand how to get some of my programs running in Wine. I tried Bottles, and that’s a little better, but it still leaves MUCH to be desired. I have two SSDs in my computer, one Windows and one Linux, and that’s how I do some of my stuff. Lutris works for some things, but I generally don’t like having 3-4 programs that are trying to do the same thing, but it only works on 1-2 of those programs. In my opinion, it’s a little silly, but I’ve mainly just given up on trying to make all of that work and just boot into Windows when I need something done quickly without having to jump through hoops. I love Linux, but it is still lacking in some areas.

The best part about Linux, though, is that we can potentially fix our issues with a little bit of collaboration, whereas with Windows, you’re stuck with whatever M$ wants you to have. It’s something, at least! :)

I love PowerToys Run. The Command Palette is ass compared to it. PT Run is basically KRunner from KDE, and I’m absolutely here for it. Finding things (that you have properly indexed) is so fast and easy!

Haha! Thank you for the explanation! I never looked into MicroOS, because I heard of Tumbleweed and wanted to give it a go since I tried one distro (it has been so long I can’t even remember right now) and didn’t like it too much.

Yeah, when things are working, and it might take a day or so to setup something else completely, I definitely understand your hesitation! :)

I got a Dell computer that was headed towards the dump from some older people, and installed TrueNAS Scale onto it. It has almost replaced my Synology I got three years ago, I just need to bite the bullet and buy new drives for it!

Unfortunately, with Nintendo, nothing is yours any longer. So, I expect these types of projects to be sniped in the coming years. I know and understand what you’re posting here, but Nintendo does not give a fuck any longer.

Hey there! Isn’t MicroOS for servers? It’s still openSUSE, but specifically for servers. I could be wrong though! :)

Yes! I’ve used quite a few of the most recommended for newbies distros, and none compare (in my experience, at least) to Tumbleweed, and that’s not even a “noob friendly” distro apparently!

Like you, I had issues when installing my new graphics card. Took a few days of rolling back before I found out the correct way to install their new “open-driver” variant. Been smooth sailing since, but I also haven’t zypper dup since then out of fear of it all going away again. :P

Lads and lassies and everything between, it is best to make a full snapshot of your working distro BEFORE doing anything crazy like installing new drivers. TRUST ME!

openSUSE Tumbleweed (and any other distros that take advantage of BTRFS and snapshots) is what made me love Linux.

I’ve always used Windows, but wanted to move to Linux as it is more in line with what I feel about computers, and openSUSE made that a reality for me. Fuck something up by doing what you thought was going to be a normal operational moment? No biggie! For example, sudo snapper rollback 333, and I’m back up and running after reboot. Has literally saved me and the distro a few times now.

Needless to say, I love Windows (for what it is, hate M$ though) but I am a full Linux convert now. When I log into Linux, it feels like home. When I log into Windows, it feels like someone else’s home. :P

Yes! And they also have an Everything (way better search program than Windows has EVER been) plugin that I’ve tweaked to include Everything’s results at the top since the index it does is exponentially better than Windows’ own. Highly recommend for those that want that two button search that has always found what I was looking for on my own computer.

Shoutout to KDE for their search function, KRunner?, as it is amazing and ready to go from the get go.

It does look like there is a much bigger cage in the background. Either way, thank you for the very in-depth explanation for hamsters. I literally had no idea (never wanted one, but they are very cute), so now I know what to look for if I ever meet someone who has one! Cheers!

Mine too. Been tinkering with Linux since I was a lad, sudo apt get / sudo apt update is ingrained into my brain.

Now, after running openSUSE Tumbleweed, sudo zypper ref / sudo zypper dup

Still a Linux noob, but I have never loved an operating system more than I have openSUSE. :)

It’s usually the most vile beings that get to live their life to the fullest…

openSUSE Tumbleweed made me a full Linux convert. I have “messed up” quite a few times, since I’m still very much a Linux noob, but openSUSE gave me that real confidence in my setup that I now boot into Windows only for a program or game that won’t work with what I am needing at the moment, which is almost 10% of the time. Modding games is a hobby, and that’s still not as easy as it is in Windows. Come on Nexus Mods, you can do it! :'-)
