Reminder, @chaoticnumber, revisit this comment in a year.

I would rather jump ass first into a cactus plantation, than give these fucks my data.

Call your MEP!

Hey, I wanna be right, you know? :D

I give them a year before they piss off the dev community.

To that end, I decided to test out this exact premise, its been years since I had a windows installed natively.

I was compqring the numbers with those from memory. Well… My memory has mislead me. The performance gap is 2x for the lows in my favorite game.

So as you said, the windows partition stays for some of the games. I dont care what it is, Ill use the right system for the right usecase.

I’m still digging through the issues though, I remember clearly I reached parity once, I just dont remember how or what was it that I did.

Well, one thing was the high polling rate, I just figured that one out, reduced to 1000hz, so the stutters are gone.

There still a performance delta of about 30% vs windows for some of my games.

Its annoying since I did reach performance parity during one of my previous installs, but I never figured out what it was that I did.

I would of went Alpine, but debian is a solid choice as well.

To add to the arch management, after a while you learn the golden rule - set it and don’t fiddle with it too much. Nowadays there is very little maintenance to it. I run an update followed by shutdown. Once every 2-3 months there is some issue, that takes a forum search to fix and once a year it breaks to the level where I need about half an hour to an hour to fix it.

I disagree. You are normal if you have social media and not if you don’t?

Dunno man, if people need IG to interact with you and you are not comfortable with it, maybe they are not your people, you know?

Why should one go into uncomfortable territory for others, people should interact from positions of comfort, otherwise its a stretch for one side and just a bad time all round.

One thing is for sure @ElectricWaterfall@lemmy.zip , you will have a harder time, make less connections, but I’m pretty sure the ones you will make, will be solid.

One word of advice as a fellow non-socialmedia-person. If you want to meet new people, make sure you are in the same place at a certain time on certain days. That way people know where you might be during certain hours and that is also a way to make connections. Just be sure you like said place.

Mullvad dns.

You are right, guess I became jaded over the years.

I’ll think of your comment next time when I’ll try to be ignorant. Thanks.

Just leave it. Don’t expect people to have a balanced mindset and you will lead a calmer life.

Its all fun and games until the power bill arrives. Performance per watt is important, please look at that first. Don’t be me.

My god those kecaps are amazing, loom at that finger hugging deep dish

Bazzite is probably a safe bet.

• Windows vm within linux
• Wine/bottles

When I first installed linux I set up a dualboot because I still had data on windows. A week passes, I get cocky, I customize the grub loader, somehow nuked the windows install in the process because (unbeknownst to me, I was installing a new bootloader on the linux drive) I ran some commands off the stack exchange. When I went to my windows drive the C part was gone-gone, I had documents on that C drive. Said to myslef “I guess I have a free drive now” and never looked back.

Those documents were important, no backups. Time, nerves and money consuming to get them again.

Because the grifting is more tolerated nowadays. Its like the slow boil of the frog, they kept doing it for years and years, until people got more and more used to it, because we didnt push back enough at the right time.

So now we deal with this enshittification.

Personally I think its like a pendulum effect, it will swing back in the other direction, but it will take a long time.

Choose what you use carefully.

Assumption on your end. I dont trust the ground I walk on.

As good as tailscale is, I do so loathe it. It does make things easy, but I have to trust a 3rd party with my traffic and for me thats just no bueno.
