My friend didn't have a great experience with Linux

I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it. I asked him if he wanted to dual boot, he said no because it would fill up all his storage. We installed Linux Mint. The other day, he wanted to play...

The problem is mate is that not all games have native Linux versions, If FIFA 17 were on steam, you could use proton on it but I believe it isn’t.

It just comes with the territory of Linux that some games are windows only and can be finicky.

Minecraft however, should run fine on potato machines and with Linux, should have a native port you can install from say Flatpak.

When moving to the penguin train, he needs to write down what software and games he wants to use, and what might be omitted due to compatibility issues.

If the man wants to use Windows, let him be, he might reconsider in future about trying Mint again or another distro like Kubuntu.

Your Experience with Linux, BSD etc

The fact that you get a full OS for free, customizable and no crappy forced in features that you don’t want is amazing....

What skill or talent took you longer than it should have to learn?

Tying a tie for meetings, interviews etc.

I’ve always had issues trying to do myself from “my angle” if you know what I mean, I’ve always worn light blue or grayish dress shirts without the tie to interviews, or I’d just leave the tie spaced out so I can shrink it again when I got around my neck.

Still trying to get the hang of it!

I did hear that they’re killing off hyper threading which is a bummer but I guess those P cores would make up for it.

Favourite DE

My favourite DE has got to be Cinnamon, as much as I like KDE and XFCE, I prefer the simplicity of cinnamon where as in KDE has a bit too much of everything in the customization scene and XFCE I find a little tricky to get tiling working right....

Sand and CPU creation

So like, if sand can be used as the first “ingredient” of a CPU, is it possible to use other variants of sand? Or is there only a very SPECIFIC kind of sand used for CPU creation?...

This is me cat, Pepper....

Nah, he’s a pretty chill cat and from observing, is open to strangers. I live in a cul de sac area and the neighbours sometimes along the way take a bit of time petting him.

He’s one smooth cat I tell you.

Google AI making up recalls that didn’t happen (lemmy.world)

Tekkip20, 8 days ago

I don’t bother using things like Copilot or other AI tools like ChatGPT. I mean, they’re pretty cool what they CAN give you correctly and the new demo floored me in awe.

But, I prefer just using the image generators like DALL E and Diffusion to make funny images or a new profile picture on steam.

But this example here? Good god I hope this doesn’t become the norm…

Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI Nightmare (www.lifewire.com)

Tekkip20, 6 days ago

Didn’t HP sell some fancy shmancy laptops that came with Ubuntu or some flavor of it? Think it was for developers but I thought that was the closest we gotten to commercially selling Linux based machines.

P.S. I could be wrong about this but I am sure this happened.

Databases and their real world use examples

I am very curious as to how databases are used in the real world, whether you’re using MySQL and what not, how does it all come together in a real world business? Banking and gaming I know, but is it something that gets stored on data centres and then put into a VM?...
