We have that already, it’s called Linux Mint.

Don’t overthink it.

It’s also unreasonable to have to wait FIFTEEN MINUTES after every setting change to verify it did what you need.

I have a very specific memory of coming in with a jet to shoot one of my buddies in a chopper. Then he does a damn barrel roll, dropping well out of my cone of fire almost instantly.

The helicopters in Desert Combat gave you a ton of control. They were a quite simplistic compared to DCS, which is where I get my aircraft fix now, but I really enjoyed the wild shit you could pull with them if you got good.

We transitioned to boardgame parties. Works much better as you can’t do those online.

We tried Tabletop Simulator; it works, but it’s not nearly as good as in-person boardgames.

Bazzite is the go-to gaming distro. It’s basically Steam OS.

I’m personally a fan of Mint (old, stable) or Fedora Plasma (cutting edge), as both feel very familiar coming from Windows. I went with Mint personally.

If you have a desktop, these work great for swapping SSDs out. Get a pair and swap them out whenever you need/want to. You just need a spare x4 (or larger) PCI-e slot, which is pretty common to have. (Technically they work fine with a x1 slot, but then you are slowing the SSD down.)

11% month on month expansion is fucking crazy. You can see from the data it’s mostly Windows 10 users deciding to upgrade to Linux…and even OSX.

India is in it for India. If it is better for India to trade with the US than Russia, they will.

I wonder if walking outdoors makes people feel more awake

It 100% does. Fresh air, direct sunlight does wonders.

I’m not sure why they call it neutered, but it is nice getting poked a bit less by the back of the board.

Linux users are also more likely to be private people and not willing to share info about their system. Both of those two effects are probably pretty small and cancel eachother for this survey.

i still need a windows installation for those games that refuse to work on Steam (I play Helldivers 2 and Space Marine 2 coop and I can’t get expedition 33 to run on Linux

All three of those have a gold or higher rating on Linux, meaning they run fine on linux with little to no effort. Helldivers 2, Space Marine 2, Expedition 33. If you are having specific issues, check out the linked pages where people share their fixes.

Damn, that is a solid upward trend.

Seriously.

All AMD had to do here is create a 12GB and 16GB version (instead of 8 and 16), then gesture at all the reviews calling the RTX 5060 8GB DOA because of the very limiting VRAM quantity.

8GB VRAM is not enough for most people. Even 1080p gaming is pushing the limits of an 8GB card. And this is all made worse when you consider people will have these cards for years to come.

Exactly, that information isn’t coming from inside the black hole. In fact it is the lack of information that tells us such things. We know the ratio between the lack of information (the event horizon) and the mass of everything inside.

A recount requires a vote to be close, it wasn’t. Trump won every swing state. And with the margins he won by, every recount in the world would not overcome the 86 EVs she trailed by.

Donald Trump wants Kyiv to hand over its natural resources as “payback” in return for weapons delivered

We get our payback every time we send lethal aid. The soviet military inheritance is now smouldering wreckage, and a whole lot of invaders are no longer around to kill people.

The more weapons and support we send Ukraine, the higher returns we receive.

From the source:

In the case of Vyacheslavova and Others v. Ukraine the Court held that there had been violations of the right to life/investigation on account of the authorities’ failure to do everything that could reasonably be expected of them to prevent the violence in Odesa on 2 May 2014, to stop that violence after its outbreak, to ensure timely rescue measures for people trapped in the fire, and to institute and conduct an effective investigation into the events. It also held that there had been a violation of the right to respect for private and family life in respect of one applicant concerning the delay in handing over her father’s body for burial.

Europe is fucked. Always gotta have America do everything! ;p

That’s just good planning. Natural disasters can easily require more than that in supplies. Buying extra cans and a few gallons of water isn’t expensive.
