My latest game of #warhammer40k was insanely fun! Took another Ork Dread Mob list, with a Stompa, against Tyranids, and it ended on a perfect draw, 75 VP each.

What matters is that a Killa Kan exploded and took out a Pyrovore, which exploded and killed a Neurotyrant that was on 1HP, and then the Stompa with 1HP charged a Hive Tyrant, killed it, then the tyrant exploded in death, killing the Stompa, which exploded and thus killed my Mek, a Deff Dread, plus DeathLeaper, and a BroodLord. Awesome!

I'm doing another one of my little surveys, this time to see which parts of using #Linux on the desktop are the most problematic, and the various issues people are having.

I'll make a video on these results next week, and depending on the answers, maybe I'll make more videos on specific issues, either to explain these topics, or to see how we could improve.

So, here is the form, feel free to fill it out and share it around, so we have as many answers as possible!

Time for this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News video!

In this one, we have #Firefox adding some data collection (but it's fine, IMO), we have a ton of stuff happening around AI, and it's still an absolute nightmare, we have the Linux Kernel 6.9 (nice), and #France banning #TikTok in one of its territories, which alarmed a bunch of human rights / freedom associations:

Fantastic game of #warhammer40k this afternoon! I won with my Orks, 71 to 56, against some nasty Salamanders, with the Dread Mob detachment (without a Stompa this time).

Awesome moments included me missing 10 shots hitting on 4+ with my Meka Dread, all my Meganobz and Big Mek dying to one round of Hellblaster shooting even with 4+ invulnerable saves, 2 vehicles also exploded, which is always fun, and my gretchin were massacred by a flyer in one volley, which is also always fun 😂

Ah yes, I see it’s time for the people in shorts to kick the ball again, as hundreds of people who have seemingly lost all politeness and semblance of being human beings shout, scream, and « sing » in the streets and take up every single cm of the walkways with their cars.

I can’t wait to move so I’m no longer close to the f**king stadium. I hate football and football supporters so much, it turns into irrational anger.

thelinuxEXP, 14 days ago to linux

I realized that I never explained the various differences between all the different #Linux kernel variants, and since my Patrons and YouTube members voted for me to cover that topic, here we are!

I’ll go over what the real time, low latency, TKG, Zen, Liquorix, XanMod, Libre, LTS, or hardened kernels are, and which one you should pick!

Well, my #warhammer40k game didn’t go well, as I tried out a dumb Dread Mob list with a Stompa! Sisters of Battle wrecked the poor thing with multi meltas, and did the same to my Gorkanaut in the same turn.

Losing half my army in one turn left me struggling, we finished the game on 53 to 75. I drew horrendous secondaries that I could never score, and my poor Ork boyz got slaughtered by the Triumph of Saint Katherine. Still, insanely fun game, and the Stompa exploding caused a lot of damage!

#Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is out, so it’s time for a little video review!
I looked at the desktop changes brought by GNOME 46, the Ubuntu specific changes and what’s under the hood, plus the few changes that happened in the official flavors (no #Plasma 6 :( )

#CentOS 7 Will go end of life in about 2 months, and this isn’t the usual EOL distribution: this time, it’s the entire distribution that is being shelved, without any upgrade path.

So I decided to take a look at why it’s a bigger deal than usual, and invited Joao Correia from TuxCare and the Enterprise Linux Podcast for an interview, to explain the issues in more detail, since they are experts about this.

I played a #Warhammer40K game yesterday with my golden boys vs my friend’s Salamanders.

That was my first win in 4 games with the Custodes (admittedly, pre-Codex), the game ended after my turn 3 and before his, as he basically had no way of scoring anymore, and I had a 24 points lead, so he conceded. That was a fun game, I lost a ton of models, he did too, a slugging match!
No weird secondaries to handle, just a good, fun game for a change!

Did MKBHD ruin an AI company and their product because of their negative review of it?

No, the bad AI product ruined itself and its company. Just because someone created a business, found funding and created a thing doesn’t mean they should get instant recognition, and a pass for crappy stuff.

Entrepreneurs aren’t your friends, they aren’t superior, they don’t deserve to be coddled. When they make sht products, they should be told that they made sht. MKBHD did their job.

The more I play #Warhammer40K 10th edition, the more I think the game system is disappointing. I just find the « rule stacking » that is encouraged in this edition to be illegible when fighting your opponent.

Each unit has a special rule, their attached characters have special rules on top, your army and detachment add extra rules, and stratagems give even more variance.

thelinuxEXP, 1 month ago to linux

New video!
In this one, I try and give a few tips if your battery life on #Linux is giving you problems.
Not the usual “lower your brightness and shut down all network connections”, because that works, but it’s not really a solution :)

So, I tackle TLP (the easy way), GPU acceleration in the browser (seriously that’s a big potential drain), moving online video to H264 (not all GPUs can decode VP8 or 9) and more!
