You either die hero or live long enough to become sleepy Joe.

If Linus were to visit Mount Everest, he'd reach base camp, spend the next day criticizing the sherpas, calling them foolish for taking the well-established path, and insisting that a direct line to the summit is obviously the best option.

Bazite has solid onboarding, hardware support (including Nvidia and AMD), and, dare I say, even printer support. All things he complains about in this video. But then again, what do I know? I'm just a sherpa.

I have been running Bazzite on my TV for a few weeks. Was using PopOs however I was having issues with some games not launching, probably to do with the combination of Unraid VM, GPU passthrough, Xorg with fractional scaling on a 4k pannel. Bazzite with "Game mode" is amazing. Closest thing to Steam OS that I know about. Everything just worked with the exception of needing to firmware update my xbox controller to get it to work. Game mode seems to report as a steam deck.

Hi Astrophysics,

I always wondered why they draw black holes like they do in that the accretion looks like it's drawn in two planes. I would have thought it would have looked a bit more like a saturns rings? Or is it exactly like saturns rings but we see the whole ring bent round the top because a black hole bends the light around so we can see it? Or is it something else entirely that they are trying to depict here?

Sounds like circumcision propaganda to me.

I don't like the vibe with it sitting on top of the Titanic. 🫣

Take a deep breath and look for the text that follows "password:" Self defeat is sell fufilling! Think of it as ASCII wheres Wally.

Off the top of my head, rope to put down Gide lines in case you get silted out so you have something to follow to get out.

Also extra everything, if your open water diving and you run out of air (or other critial equipment failure) you can roll the dice on the bends by going straight to the surface, not so with cave diving; your just going to drown.

People are lazy as fuck. Provided it plays their games they don't give a shit about features updates, patches, bug fixes etc.

They probably have no ideal what version of windows is even installed on their machine.

I second popos and mint. I love fedora but if he is a gamer you want something that will just work (navida built in or a very easy one click mechanism to get it). If he has to research PPAs and installing rpmfussion it will get all too hard very quickly. Also do some expectation setting before hand, research what games he plays work on linux, better he finds out now rather than after 2 hours of pain or getting band for "hacking" because of proton triggered an anti-cheat thing.

Edit: I run fedora on all my machines except my gaming rig which is popos. Fedora works too but popos is hassle a free experience.

"The People" (sh.itjust.works)

I watch the WAN show, as it seems to be the last LTT property approaching genuine (if you skip the merch messages). But Linus use of the "for the people" really rubs me the wrong way. He can't be a big boy and take a position or make a decision without outsourcing it to "the people", seems to prove he is completely out of touch.

No hate to Luke or Dan, I like them. Luke deserves a fucking metal for the "hard R" save.

They are not what the used to be that's for sure. I rarely watch them and when I do I normally remember why I don't within a minute. Still hoping the will lift their game but subebed to a lot of other tech channels as they are all better than "how many USB device can you plug into a PC".

From memory the UK gov is trying to (or has?) pass anti-encription laws targeting the big tech giants GAFAM (google, apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft). I am in Australia so not up to date with this.

Its hard to tell from the icon pack they are using but I think this might be a screenshot from a degoogle phone? For example I don't see any Facebook or Microsoft specific apps. But I do see a nextcloud app which is an open source self hostable replacement suite for Google's cloud apps.

Basically the law change won't affect them as they are not using any GAFAM apps/software.
