yes, every damn website. changing server to another country may help. i noticed ireland is pretty immune to this but that server is down quite often.

i see nightmares that i can’t take care of my pets. a kid would destroy me, not just financially.

light mode? hello satan. also, let’s swap gnome to cinnamon. and fedora to mint.

i would like a Live For Speed distro

i don’t use brave but i tried it once when i learned that it’s open source. google was not the default search and telemetry was off by default. also i don’t think it auto updates on linux because updates are handled by system updater.

i always found gnome somehow irritating to use, like the tray area popping up all of the system controls when i just want to change the sound device. or little stuff like trying to paste a file into a folder that is too full to scroll past the bottom. i can’t r-click to the background, can’t adjust the columns to get empty space on the side. i need to use the menu. or pause fiddling with my noodle and ctrl+v…

i wish i knew about graphene when i got a pixel 6 pro. i got rid of it only after a year because it was such a buggy POS.

i don’t want anyone i work with to be able to find out what kind of porn i’m into

this month’s average is supposed to be +9 C (48 F) here, but it’s above +20 C (68 F) for the next week at least.

Linux mint cake with an article on this is that I mean you can be used as an important for this was a little more than a little or not…

does gnome not have audio output switcher in the tray audio popup menu thingy?

timeshift. then skip that update.

screen turning green isn’t really a bug, they’re just advertising nvidia.

proton: in steam settings go to compatibility and check steam play. wine: download the installer, then depending on your desktop environment either double click it and install as you would on windows, or right click the background in the folder the example.exe is at, open terminal here, type: wine example.exe and follow the installer.

i never even liked w10 and then i got to experience w11 on our school machines, and realized i can’t go that way. saw so many people praising linux here so i split my ssd and tried to install linux on the other partition. fukked up and formatted the whole damn ssd, so i became a linux only user. soon i accidentally removed nvidia drivers so i went back to windows. not a month later i noticed my school logo on the start menu and they also seemed to control some windows settings, i freaked out and went back to linux. been like 1½ years now.

zorin? it’s designed to be very familiar for windows users

i don’t think you have much options. cheapest = use gpu in x8. you could try an adapter to plug the ssd into sata port, but no idea if that would even work. just for the fun of it, i looked at my 7800x3d specs and under connectivity it states that 24 pcie lanes are usable of a total of 28, but mobo provides an additional 8 or 16 more depending on the chipset. wondering if that results in 32 or is it limited to 28…

mint. my distrohopping always ends back in mint. heard good stuff about zorin too, i intend to try that next.

i use an lg oled tv as monitor too and was planning to get an amd gpu. i looked at these adapters, only a couple different ones available where i live but they had horrible reviews. what brand is yours?
