My god your install process sounded really difficult.

This coming from someone running a Surface Go 1 and MacBook Pro 2012 which weren’t really linux friendly for the install process.

In the future, I’ll probably only get used devices as I’m kind of anti consumerism, but I’ll be careful to always get something reslly Linux friendly.

My last experience with anything from Dell was my first Linux install in the 00’s and it was really easy. I guess Dell has regressed in this regard.

Anyway welcome to Linux!

Oh I’ve never heard of the Nix configuration tool. I might look into it when the need arises.

Interesting post.

I’ve always been really interested about immutable distros, but I haven’t broken my Fedora Workstation 42 yet, so I won’t switch until I do.

What would be a game changer for me is a distro that you could easily replicate (settings, apps and data) from one computer to another. From what I know Nix is the closest thing but it ain’t easy to approach…

It is your right not to enjoy Firefox and no one can tell you not to.

Personnaly, I’m really happy with Firefox for now even if I’m hearing that Mozilla is taking some decisions I don’t like.

I plan on using Firefox as long as there is nothing better with similar value to mine.

Oh yeah that would be great. I hope it’s really coming🤞

Yeah you can be proud of your city for such a thing.

Je vis à Genève et j’adorerais qu’on suive votre chemin en la matière.

Great news!

If only I could sign it. Keep going EU citizens!

I guess for arcade games it’s logical, but it doesn’t apply to games like Heavy Rain, Last Of Us, Uncharted or Final Fantasy.

But I guess every one behaves differently and enjoys different things.

I’m just worried when I see my 8 year old son trying a new game every time he faces a challenge in the previous one.

Well for me it’s like starting 40 books, 40 movies or 40 songs and not finishing them.

If it’s a story driven game, I would never picture myself not finishing it unless I don’t enjoy it.

Also I see the starting something and not finishing it as a result of the short attention spans generation, but I might be getting old at 38😅

Well I’m happy for you if owning so many games makes you happy as it supports a hobby I love.

Personnaly, I think that not finishing so many of your games shows some kind of problem, but I’m not a psychologist. Owning so many too…

I might even have the inverted problem as I feel like it’s an obligation for me to finish a game unless I don’t like it.

Agreed but you can play only offline without missing on much. I currently have the ps plus for a few more months, but I’m dropping it as the only one playing online is my son and hés playing fortnite.

But, if you’re an online player, it’s gonna be cheaper to play on pc.

I totally agree and it’s a pleasure to read someone who’s able to talk about the advantages of each side.

Well I bought my ps5 a while ago, but I think that despite the price increase, it’s still cheaper than a comparable PC.

As for the no fuss experience, my Steam Deck, which I love and have had for a few month, has already given more to tinker and solve than my ps5 in a few years.

I just think that the Playstation experience isn’t as good and cheap as it used to be compared to PC.

To be honest that would just be the end of the consoles system as there is a reason Sony is selling the PS5 for so cheap.

As much as I understand why Apple shouldn’t be allowed to keep everything in the Apple Store, Sony’s situation isn’t the same.

But what would bother me more is if Sony starts to raise the prices of everything without justification.

I got a Steam Deck and I’m slowly migrating my gaming from Playstation only to Linux/Playstation gaming. Still a Playstation 5 is a great product, especially with kids and its ease of use and great graphics for your bucks.

Same for me, no Switzerland option.

So I can only encourage EU citizens to do it.

I never had stickdrift before having the DualSense controller.

Still, otherwise it’s a lovely controler and the second one works fine.

My girlfriend’s 2012 MacBook Pro is also running Fedora like a beast with its upgraded 16GB or Ram and its SSD.

It’s great that old hardware gets a bew chance to shine!

As much as I don’t enjoy Nintendo games and consoles anymore, I don’t think you can blame them for not creating new experiences.

Even the Switch 2 is creating a new way to play with its controls.

You can’t really say this about the Playstation 5 (which I own) or the Series X.

• AppIndicator and Kstatusnotifieritem Support
• Auto move Windows
• Maximized By Default Reborn (doesn’t work on some of my apps which open at the start of every session)
• Tiling Assistant

I love Gnome stock but I really think these should be there by default.

I’ve also learned to wait a few months after each new version of Fedora as the extensions always need time to become compatible.

Sometimes I’m intrigued by how much I could recreate what I love in Gnome in KDE.
