I haven’t thought about Fear Factory in a long time.

I was an avid redditor. It was my main filler activity.

I quit cold turkey with the API debacle and have never been back.

It was really rough at first, but I like it here.

I’m a huge fan of Aurora, the least popular ublue desktop OS. Bazzite is great, too. But I prefer Aurora.

Hell, even my wife uses it and has no complaints.

Defenestration.

There is a better way. Instead of compiling when you launch the game, you can enable background processing of shaders. This will happen while you’re not gaming. If you don’t do other stuff on that computer while you’re not gaming and it is turned off or asleep instead, it might not help.

People think I’m crazy to not claim free games from Epic. I don’t, and won’t even have an account on that cursed platform.

Not trying to put myself or my own worries above the obvious travesty and senseless murder.

I’m just sharing my perspective and not making any political points.

I fly a paraglider. I was paranoid about getting shot before the Hamas attack on October 7. This just worries me more.

It’s all so sad.

Also stock Pixel 7.

I just don’t care enough to try to put something custom on it.

Death is not specific to individuals.

I run Rancher Desktop on Windows… But only because my company won’t let me use Linux, and I only use it for Dev and testing.

All that to say, I have no idea why else you would be running a container engine on a Windows host.

+1 for Ubiquiti, but I’d suggest one of the cheaper models with built in WiFi unless you plan on having an intricate network.

If you’re not on it already, join the discord. Lots of helpers there. I recommend sticking with Bazzite and learning how to use it better. It has the tools you need to run anything you could run in any other distro. You just can’t always copy and paste commands from a Google search. But that’s where the discord can set you straight.

Yeah, but classic Windows move: it’ll work for a while and then it will randomly stop working.

This was one of the big things that pushed me to Linux. Not feeling like I was the one in control of my PC.

Bazzite > Bluefin > Aurora in usership from what I’ve seen. I started on Bazzite KDE but ended up staying with Aurora.

I can’t stand GNOME, but I understand that other people like it.

People who say Bazzite isn’t for tinkerers just misunderstand it. It’s extremely tinker friendly, just not in the ways people are used to.

I’d say it’s actually a lot more tinker friendly because it’s super easy to revert changes.

I chose the middle option for things I’m not hosting, but could see myself hosting in the future.

TBH, I think it’s mainly a toy. Something to tinker with. It would be fun to have, but I’d never have a reason to use it.
