The Arch Wiki is the resource to go to. It’s usually one of the first places I look for info, and one of the first I recommend – for users of any distro. Has been for a long time.

The number of times I have said this… The urge to hop will return. I recommend investing in a cheap secondary piece of hardware, like an older used Lenovo Thinkpad.

1. When I have to or 2) when I want to, whichever comes first.

Funny you should ask…

Two of those four things are part of a project I’m working on. My partner and I are opening early access on 8/1!

It is set to be a paid product upon full release, but is currently free during our early access phase, with the offer of a month of free service for users who sign up during August.

This has been a passion project myself and my business partner put a lot of love into to solve problems in our own households. We’d be honored if you’d give it a try and let us know what you think!

There’s no mobile app – yet! – but the website is mobile-friendly. We’re focused on the kitchen right now (recipes, meal plans, shopping lists) but the rest of the household is on our roadmap!

Fun fact: you can silence most gas pump ads by pushing the second-from-the-top button on the right-hand side of the gas pump screen… Not all pumps, and every now and then I encounter one that uses the third button down, but most pumps I’ve run into can be silenced.

It’s unforgivable they’ve jammed ads into pumps full of disgustingly overpriced gas that you’re already paying for…

Ohh, I see. That weird thing where people make one really specific, otherwise small thing an absurdly huge part of their personality.

I’ve seen it with tea, coffee, chocolate, meat (specifically bacon and steak), and a million other things food-related and otherwise. I follow what you’re talking about now, and yeah it’s weird. I enjoy meat quite a lot, and I do have some kinds of meat I do like cooked a (general) particular way. I’m not going to go around preaching to God and everyone about it, though, and I wouldn’t consider "meat’ a part of my personality, lol. When people take one small, specific thing and make it their entire personalities it does get… Strange.

I am very curious what “cultish behaviors” you’ve observed surrounding meat. Not discrediting your experience at all, just a curiosity! I’m sure you’ve had to explain it many times before, so please feel free to ignore my request. 🙂 Just someone looking to broaden their horizons and understand.

This is… An interesting assertion. Do you use all of your fingers when you make ‘’‘’‘air quotes’‘’‘’? I’m for this movement, by the way. I think it’s delightful.

We’ve explored that route pretty thoroughly, unfortunately… Neither of us are eligible.

I can’t offer much but to say I’m quite jealous, lol. My wife and I have researched just about every possible opportunity to do the same, just to find everything either doesn’t apply to us or is just out of reach at this time (and for the foreseeable future). Asking for help around this topic typically leads to an insane amount of backlash online, so I’ve found…

I have never had an issue with subtitles on Jellyfin, and my wife has turned our household into an always-on subtitles household. Are you making use of the Open Subtitles plugin?

Just gonna… Drop this here…

Agreed. It culminated in some elaborate multi-video click bait about him finding a fossil and stealing it, preying on the internet’s obsession with the idea that there are/were great apes native to North America (aka Bigfoot) that the whole crew swore up and down wasn’t a prank… Because it “wasn’t a prank, it was an educational fiction.” It was ridiculous, over the top, and annoying. Haven’t watched anything they’ve put out since.

Doesn’t work so well when it’s your wife you’re telling “no, I won’t help you,” to. 😂

I’m not gonna coerce her into using Linux, lol. That’s a surefire way to make sure she hates it and blames any little hiccups on Linux, even if it’s not the OS’s fault.

Just be sure to research your must-have titles on ProtonDB. It’ll tell you pretty much everything you need to know if there’s any tinkering to be done for your titles… And don’t make the same mistake I did! 😂

I upgraded from an AMD Radeon RX580 to an Intel ARC A750… Works perfect, except the specific setup of Linux + Intel ARC can’t play Halo Infinite… It worked fine (if subpar performance) on the RX580, but there’s some software issues between Vulkan and Intel that means certain DX12 games that make a very particular graphics call will NOT work with an Intel GPU… Otherwise I love it!

I’ve been gaming on Linux for a loooong time, lol. I follow Proton’s progress pretty closely since the beginning as it pertains to the Linux space, I just wasn’t sure if it was considered a “solution” in the MacOS world or if it requires some finagling…

Thanks for the insight! I’ll have to do a liiiittle more research, but I’m feeling more comfortable about it now.

Very compelling. I’m guessing Steam’s Proton work doesn’t do much if anything for Mac? I’m familiar with gaming on Linux, so I’m not afraid to get technical to get it all working, I’m just trying to get a feel for viability… It sounds like Sims 4 is the only thing up in the air, lol.

I need to find someone with a Mac willing to let me try it… 😂

I switched to TIDAL. Same price, and they pay the artists better per stream.

Much better! Less aggressive. Your initial comment had a sense of reprimanding the OP for not posting in the “right place,” and I’m certain you didn’t mean to come off that way, just that you thought they might get a better, more specific answer from a more specific community, is that right?

I appreciate the civility and willingness to discuss. :)
