Anyone praising GNOME can be dismissed if they forget to define client-side decorations for their comment.

As I understand, the person who ultimately made the decision to ban Vaxry was also on a massive power trip.

rtxn,

Linux Mint if you want a “just works” distro that isn’t Ubuntu. It’s Ubuntu-based, but with a better desktop and no snap.

Nobara if you want a distro that focuses on gaming. It’s Fedora-based and maintained by Glorious Eggroll, known for his custom Wine and Proton forks.

If you want Arch, just use Arch. It’s much less of a bitch to install with the archinstall script compared to earlier releases. EndeavourOS is another option – basically Arch, but preconfigured with a desktop and a graphical installer.

To be fair, if a random dude called me “officer”, I’d also do a double take.

Right now I’m in a bit of a bind because part of my workflow relies on exporting particular layers and layer groups as separate images. GIMP has a plugin for it, but it uses Python 2, no longer developed, and likely won’t work in GIMP 3. If Krita can do this, I’m switching immediately.

rtxn,

Isn’t that what the basic “Export” does?

It suffers from the same iconic issues as Ubisoft games: mid gameplay stretched out far too much. It has some interesting concepts, but doesn’t do anything noteworthy with them. Skip or buy at a heavy discount.

rtxn,

Yes, do as I say!

(Newbie question) Did i handle my system crashing correctly?

Ive just installed Linux (Fedora 40 KDE) on my main PC over the weekend, so im a complete newbie and i apologize if some of my questions are nonsensical 😅. Yesterday evening the system seemed to completely lock up at a certain point while playing Red Dead Redemption 2 for the first time (installed & run via steam using proton...

Sounds to me like the kernel or the video driver died. Try pressing caps-lock a few times – if the keyboard’s LEDs don’t change, your inputs are dead and pretty much your only option is to power down or reset the computer. Most modern filesystems, like ext4 and btrfs (you likely have one of those) are very robust and can easily handle an ungraceful shutdown. When you start the OS again, it’ll run fsck on the root partition and get it into a functional state. Data loss can still occur if the computer dies while a process is still writing a file, but I think it was inevitable the moment the OS froze.

Unfortunately I can’t offer much advice other than to use a numbered Proton version instead of experimental, and to try again at a lower quality setting. You should also try Gamemode to temporarily optimize your system for running games.

I’ve played RDR2 on a weaker system than yours. It’s a very intensive game to run in terms of memory usage, streaming from mass storage, and CPU/GPU. Install it on an SSD to give it the best chance, and use a system monitor like bpytop or htop to check the RAM/CPU stats and temperatures.

rtxn,

And ork boyz!

Square Enix is slowly starting to realize that locking out a significant part of its potential customers with platform exclusivity will lead to most of those potential customers not buying their shit. It’s like the first vestiges of conscious thought are starting to appear within their leadership.

rtxn, (edited )

They’re both timed exclusives, and Square have said that they’d stop platform-exclusive releases after those two games failed to meet shareholders’ expectations. Whether they’ll actually go through with it, or get saturday morning cartoon villain yen sign pupils when Sony makes their next offer, I have no idea.

Kriegsmen really want to die in battle. So much so that a commissar’s job is often to keep them from charging into overwhelming enemy fire. It would take something extraordinary for one to choose life over death.

(edit) wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Death_Korps_of_Krieg

tl;dr: The hive world Krieg seceded from the Imperium. The only remaining loyalist faction, the 83rd regiment of the Imperial Guard, faced overwhelming odds with no hope for reinforcements. They nuked the entire planet’s surface, slowly eliminated the heretics, and returned the planet to the Imperium. The loyalist Death Korps of Krieg (or Kriegsmen) of M41 try to atone for letting the planet fall to heresy in the first place by fighting in the deadliest warzones to glorious deaths.

If you don't use Bing with Edge, Microsoft will tell you your computer needs repairing.

https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/windows-operating-systems/microsoft-now-says-your-pc-is-in-need-of-repair-if-youre-not-using-bing-with-edge

They are not wrong.

To mend your machine:

  1. Ditch Windows
  2. Install Plasma
  3. Your computer is ready.

A laptop running the laters version of Plasma, Plasma 6.

They probably either use a different client, or a different federated service, that lets them mark multiple participants in each post of the thread.

t won’t do anything on its own, you need to accept the repair step

Do you know what else works like that? Pop-up tech support scams. The target doesn’t have to do anything, but it’s become a thriving business in many poor regions (Kolkata, India is notorious) and a problem for moderately tech-illiterate users.

I would even say that this anti-feature promotes bad personal security practices because the user may be more inclined to believe “your computer needs repair” pop-ups if the first one they encounter comes from a legitimate, trusted party.

Using Edge on Linux is like cooking up a banger vegan meal and then drenching it in bacon grease.

I know this is completely irrelevant, but since we’re all laughing at leaky Rudy, here’s a clip of him congratulating Legal Eagle, a fairly left-leaning channel, on his success and two million subscribers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeARRJyKkwY

Guess he really needed that cash.
