Slammed down big style.

Steam OS on Steam Deck. Fedora on Framework13 cause reliability. Garuda Mokka on Framework16 cause pretty and it just works.

May move from Garuda back to OpenSuSE Tumbleweed or CachyOS at some point.

The Aztec styling was just ahead of its time.

It’s a tossup I think if Epstein killed himself. He was looking at a very unpleasant rest of his life. it makes sense for someone to commit suicide in that type of situation. It also makes sense for those in power to want him silenced. We’ll likely never know for sure.

Taking him off suicide watch is also hard to tell between malice and incompetence.

I’m still using Gmail, mostly cause of how much of a hassle it is to change to a new email address. Shit like this is really making me find motivation to switch.

They do come out with good hardware now and then. Some of their higher end laser printers are reviewed well. At my job we have an HP laser printer that is older than the store that is still chugging along just fine while being used every day.

Their overall quality is so poor though that it is hard to trust anything they put out.

More consumer linux devices are good though.

I’d definitely take one for free.

Immediately sell it to carmax or carvana or wherever.

The money from even one of the older ones would do me a lot of good even with the trade in value of all teslas cratering right now.

I run both on my unraid NAS. I use plex for streaming to my phone over cell data. I use jellyfin for streaming to my laptops and TV.

Plex tends to break every once and a while though. Not often, but it happens enough that I’m replacing it with just having my music on a DAP that is synced with Syncthing.

I also use the comic viewer function of jellyfin.

It’s a game I’m definitely looking forward to after I get a gpu upgrade for my laptop. A 7700s just doesn’t cut it.

Started playing it, decided to wait for later.

Going into debt running Tumbleweed.

I have a 16 and a 13, I thought I’d give away the 13 when I got the 16 but I keep using the 13 as well cause of how portable it is. Lot nicer to lounge about with the 13 than the 16.

I might get the 12 to replace my 13 and use it for drawing practice and web browsing. Performance wise it’d be a downgrade from my 1280p but I don’t really need the performance.

They’re also using an older cpu in these and only one stick of ram to run costs down. It is a low tier 13th gen intel.

I have a physical copy of Heavy Gear 2 native for Linux. Tried getting it to work some time during late Covid era and just gave up and pirated the windows copy to run through Lutris.

Going forward I think that flatpaks can be great to keep things running in the future, or app images or bottles.

Just, something that installs a specific version of the libraries it needs for that game only separate from the rest of the system

Just containerize native linux games.

Looked it up and someone had it running via a steam deck so looks like you’re set.

And it gets worse, through system updates there are old native games that no longer work on modern systems. Meanwhile I can grab a random windows game from the 90s or early 2000s and it’ll probably work via proton.

My usb port on my phone is busted so I’m limited to wireless only, it takes so damn much longer to charge.

I liked wireless charging a lot more when it wasn’t my only option.

In the article they do post about “investor concerns”

I have two friends playing PoE2 in windows and they have had tons of problems with the game crashing.

I’m running it in linux and I’ve had one crash in 65 hours of playtime.

22 was MMO and shooters mostly, 23 was dominated by racing games. 24 was BG3 and Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts… mostly just UA.

The unmatched screen makes that part of the wallpaper better
