My sister had a weird problem with Win 10 and needed me to format her notebook, a perfect opportunity to convert another soul. So I suggested installing Linux so she could try it out, she was hesitant but when I showed her some prints of Zorin OS and told her about KDE Connect she was much more inclined.

After the installation I showed her the Gnome tour so she could learn the basics, connected her things, taught her how to install what she needed and let her do her own thing. One thing that is quite not normal for the average Windows user is that she learned to use the LibreOffice suite and other open source programs at school (cool as fuck), so she was quite comfortable with the new environment.

She's quite pleased and I don't think she'll miss Windows, but that only time will tell.

Why people always forget the simple:

Switching Google to Brave is not an upgrade is a sidegrade.

I miss when people were ashamed of being stupid, now they feel proud about it.

It was so simple, just approve the merge. Oh well.

Let's fight piracy!!!

People outside japan can buy the 1000000 mangas available? We have a way to translate this many mangas? Do we have a fucking online service that doesn't suck a lot? People have any hope to read legally that one random obscure manga that doesn't even exist anymore beside some random piracy site? But we gonna fight piracy anyway!!!

This kinda o shit + nintendo + sony fills my hatred for Japanese companies, more bullshit and I'll become more powerful in the dark side than Palpatine.

Since the lastest update on The finals we need to use Proton Experimental to avoid the anticheat randomly kicking Linux users, but since yesterday the game is crashing, sometimes in the menu. Sometimes the games launches and close automatically, with the lastest proton GE instead of Proton-experimental I had the following error:

LowLevelFatalError [File:.\Runtime/RenderCore/Private/RenderingThread.cpp] [Line: 938] Rendering thread exception: Fatal error!

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION writing address 0x00007f0ab4997000

With Proton Experimental the games crashs with a Wine error: "!status && vkCreateComputePipelines"

My command args on steam: PROTON_USE_EAC_LINUX=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 mangohud gamemoderun %COMMAND%

My PC are: CPU:

Anyone with a similar problem?

The real culprit is, surprise, late stage capitalism and unbridled greed. Who would've guessed?

An article that recognize the problem with our current economical system and didn't circle around the issue? Color me surprised

I remember a post on reddit asking for a SteamDeck alternative because SteamDeck uses Linux, the guy never used the SteamDeck or Linux before... The way media treats Linux is really fucking important, maybe if Linux was from a big player like Android is from Google, people wouldn't make such a fuss about it.

DRM in old games so you are only affecting people that bought the game? Genius

I'm pretty much gaming on linux the entire year and most of the time using lutris or steam.

Some days ago I used Heroic Games Launcher and notice that the Documents folder from my linux machine was linked to the wine prefix heroic created for my game and my save/configs was nicely stored on my PC.

I know that on steam the prefix is stored in .../steamapps/compatdata/, is that any option on steam or lutris to automatic set theses symlinks? Steam have the steam cloud to backup saves but is always nice to have alternatives.

More details: My steam games is on a different disk of my linux so I don't know if the behaviour that I'm asking is the default and my disk configuration is messing something up.

Re-logic again for the win.

I should play another 1000 hours of Terraria.

The guy is really demanding something from volunteers devs? Not everyone is thinking "We need to make something easy to use so people can migrate from Windows to Linux", people just build stuff to use and share it so maybe someone could find it useful.

I pretty sure that at least 50% of the the blizzard staff who was laid off started to make overwatch porn. The single beauty mark on the back of the Pink Mercy skin is all the evidence that I need.

If my claim is correct so yeah, people who make overwatch porn work harder than the current overwatch team.

I don't know if this scenario is the norm or is related to most people but I was so baffled when I found that I have to post it.

Here(Brazil) the most used app for communication is Whatsapp(first warning about low privacy concern) and a lot of people are members of cities/neighborhood/church groups, sometimes with hundreds of members. A coworker whose is part of said groups describe a common practice within the less tech savvy people: When finding a personal document(ID, credit card etc) they take photos of the document both sides without any censoring and spread to many groups as possible trying to find the owner...

Some of this documents have all relevant information to open a bank account or access banking apps and I don't even thinking about what a more tech/professional person could do with some of these information.

If they just ripped and thrown in the garbage was less harmful in any sense to the owner.
