I’d just like to interject for a moment…
I remember trying this for a little bit too and did some crypto mining, but after leaving it on for days my room refused to warm up at all. I think the room was just too big for the heat output of the pc to handle. In the end i gave up and just turned on the heater again.
Yeah, i know these things now, but back then i just didn’t do any research and had no clue. Although i do remember trying wine, but i couldn’t get any games to work. I’m not sure if that was me being incompetent, or wine not being as good back then, probably a combination of both lol. This was like back in 2010 or something.
Well when i talked about the UI it was honestly just very superficial. In a way of “oh i’m bored of this, but this other thing looks much different.” Basically monkey brain shit. It’s funny cause while i ended up going back to windows to be able to play games, my laptop was just a dual core celeron that could barely play anything anyway. I remember it often overheating and shutting down while i was playing sims 3 lol.
Guess i’m autistic lol. I did install Linux on my laptop when i was 12, but it didn’t last very long. The only reason i installed it is because i felt bored with the Windows UI, and distros like Ubuntu and Mint looked really interesting at the time. After i realized that i couldn’t get my EXEs to work i just went back to Windows lol.
It wasn’t until LTT made their video about using PopOS instead of Windows 11 back in 2021 that i remembered Linux even existed. I decided to give it a shot since Windows 10 had already started to freak me out for a while with their weird questions like asking if they can use my handwriting data. The rest is history. I know LTT gets a lot of flack for how they’ve handled their Linux content, and some of it is deserved, but if it wasn’t for me seeing that video i wouldn’t have given it a try.
Gave you another downvote, since it seems to upset you so much
I don’t use one at all. I was kinda the opposite of you. I started out thinking AI seemed pretty cool, and i tried using a local model for a little bit, but aside from asking it some simple questions i couldn’t get into the habit of using it. To me it still seems faster to just search the internet myself, plus you already have to factcheck what an AI tells you anyway, so may as well look it up myself. Over the years seeing the mess that it is causing i’ve grown to hate the technology, and i hope people are right about this “bubble” existing, cause i can’t wait for it to pop.
We aren’t idolizing mediocre programming, that’s why we dislike AI
Not very helpful but for what it’s worth i had issues with bottles lately too. Don’t know if it’s the same issue, but when i tried to do pretty much anything with it it would fail. When i ran it in the terminal it seemed to be caused by bottles trying to download some dependencies in the background, but they all failed to download. I couldn’t find recent issues about it and couldn’t find a fix, so i ended up using heroic instead. This was on the latest flatpak at the time.
It’s for this reason that i’m starting to eye openbsd. Apart from wifi for my laptop not working it seems surprisingly compatible in terms of hardware, but the bigger issue would be that i would be more limited when it comes to gaming. As a Guix/Nix enjoyer i would also kinda miss declaring my OS through code. I’m probably sticking with linux for the time being but i’m gonna try getting more familiar with openbsd as well
Bruh is that real? Seems really embarrassing to me lmao
They just seem to love AI in general. It’s also a great tool to generate fake videos and spread misinformation
Damn man, like if it bothers you THAT much, either log off or stop using AI.
Well good for you, i don’t care if you want to use it, but it’s to be expected you’re gonna rub people the wrong way when you become so combative out of the gate.
Thanks! Yeah i’m sure there has to be another way to get into that overlay with my tv. Kinda weird that they made the remote so minimal in terms of buttons on this newer model
Ah, that’s a problem, i have a C5 and my remote doesn’t have a green button lol
I think the better question to ask is what we stand to lose
Good to know! I’m still waiting for HDMI 2.1 and i’m using a DP to HDMI adapter right now. I’ll probably wait for the new kernel to drop since i haven’t been gaming much on pc lately, but i was wondering since you mentioned LG C series: where did you find that VRR information overlay? Cause i’ve been looking for a way to check if i’m running full RGB because of this HDMI 2.1 stuff, but i don’t think there’s a way to check on the linux side, but i couldn’t find the info on my tv either.
Man, i was actually considering getting some ram cause both my server and desktop still “only” have 16 gigs each. I figured DDR4 wouldn’t be that bad but i just checked and jesus christ that shit’s expensive lol. Guess i’m good with 16 gigs for now
I’ve only been using linux for 5 years now, but yeah i think gaming even on linux was very different ten years ago. Valve and their Proton fork of Wine have made a ton of games perfectly playable, aside from the kernel level anti-cheat games. Some of that progress does seem like it has bled over to FreeBSD, and you can play more and more games there too, but from what i’ve read/seen the catalog of games that work is smaller on FreeBSD, but i guess it depends on what you’re happy with. I think i saw most emulators are available on FreeBSD too, and OpenBSD recently got its own Wine port.
Yeah that’s what i was thinking. Even if you show your account as proof you could’ve just redeemed it on an alt-account, so it would be tough. Though i’m not sure how it works with a product like this. For example with hardware purchases, at least where i live, if you send it back because of a defect the burden of proof is on either the retailer or the manufacturer to proof that it is your fault if they don’t want to replace it.
