What brand? In my experience Linux is very persnickety about USB Wifi/Bluetooth adapters.

When I was buying mine a couple years back I had several failures before finding some kind of master list of supported devices.

I dont have the list anymore, but everything I bought was TP-Link cause TP-Link appeared very frequently in the list from what i recall.

Nothing like TSA level security.

I never understood the purpose of this.

Unless you are REAL stupid levels of lucky to have one of the mandatory password changes the day after a compromise that you werent aware of, all mandatory regular password changes do is make people use less secure passwords.

Seriously.

It sounds like a fucking nightmare. Imagine working on something for days and it refuses to work cause you accidentally capitalized 1 file name and dont notice it?

That sounds like the kind of shit they’d do in tech hell.

I dont know.

If I had my choice between a CPU that has a vulnerability that can only be exploited if the system is already compromised

or a CPU that are full of oxidation cancer, or frying themselves and doing irreparable damage… Which the company is being excessively shady about concretely admitting to any RMA promises and wwill all eventually die in short order…

I think I’m gonna go with the Ryzen and not leave leave my computer outside at defcon.

Jokes on you, cause a lot of alphabet organizations set up entry and exit nodes on Tor so you’re being tracked regardless.

I’d trust IE a lot more than I’d trust chrome.

Yep, Nobara should be the default choice for a gaming focused distro due to GE, since he knows exactly what hes doing and whats needed.

Nobaras kinda a new distro, but its based on Fedora (the 39 indicates its based on Fedora 39) which is well established.

I’ve been using it, and the previous version of 38, and I’ve had a great experience with it. It also has a very active discord full of kind people willing to help.

Nobara 39.

Its easy and quick to set up, easy to use, and has a lot of ancillary tools and stuff preinstalled to make getting into the gaming easier.

I’m not gonna say its the second coming of christ, or all sunshine and rainbows, so to be upfront and honest… Dualboot at first, if you can. Its, presumably, your first time using linux, so you will run into more roadblocks to start simply due to lack of knowledge and experience on how to navigate things, but you’ll get your baselines down quick and start getting into the windows-like usability and flow.

been playin games on linux for a long ass time now, with minimal issue.

with almost no issue in the past 3-4 years.

Its caught up.

Pretty much any game short of ones that have invasive kernal DRM run without much issue.

Thats definitely been my experience. Easy to set up, easy to use, easy to game on. Simple, slick, and mostly transparent (I.E. Not getting in the way of tasks) to the user. everything an OS should be.

Nobara club hi5

Don’t say Lemmy is a forum.

last time I argued that people got irrationally angry.

barring that, unplug the ethernet.

You don’t let your cats out for the same reason zoos don’t let their bears out into your fucking neighborhood ya goddamn dingus. They don’t belong there and can do serious damage to the local fauna.

also outdoor cats live an average of 3-5 years.

Indoor cats live can for 15-20+.

So sure, if you are pro-premature cat death. Let your pet cat outside.

ah fuck now i want to play RA2 again.

I know your thoughts.

I ignore certain games that don’t run via proton, because those certain games typically dont run because they have invasive and unnecessary DRM or Anticheat thats more malware than anything useful for protecting play.

Which I wouldnt buy or have on my computer on windows, much less linux, anyway. So nothings lost.

Been on linux for many years now.

Ironically I’ve had more issues running native games than windowss via proton games (but proton is there to run the windows version with zero issues lol)
