I’m going back and changing the convention of current to flow in the same direction as the flow of electrons.

Advertising is the graffiti of the rich. The poor get fined for tagging a wall, while corporations are paid to deface our entire visual landscape. It’s the same act of vandalism, just with a budget that buys legitimacy.

Salad is way too big a lot of that region should be soup. If you give me a bowl of 50/50 water and veg I’m calling that soup not a salad.

I have never used mint so I can’t speak to its gaming performance or optimisation tricks but I would be tempted to try out with a more bleeding edge philosophy (like Bazzite or Catchy or Nobara). They’re likely to have newer drivers and kernel etc. If that solves your problem - great!

Yes and no, you can spec them as high as you’d like and apple bills you through the nose for upgrades. But if you get a base model air (~$1000), iMac (~$1300) or a Mac mini (~$600) they’re some of the best deals in technology. You can’t buy a pc with equivalent cpu and graphics power for the same money. Really powerful machines, sip battery, great screens, great keyboards. It’s impossible to get a new Windows machine as good and that’s before you factor in the Apple build quality and hardware longevity. I have 2 Mac laptops going strong from 2011 and 2013 respectively.

People who moan about Apple pricing are right - you can spend silly money on Apple stuff, but you don’t have to, and some of their value offerings are really very good.

Where?

I think this will make his followers like him more not less.

A retrofit pocket flip 2 running steam os would be pretty dope

I would suggest the support this has from valve that means it works great out the box does indeed make it novel.

It will move the needle far more than like 2 hobbyists flashing niche hardware. Nobody cares about that because it’s so small scale. Nobody will put in the support for that user base. Conversely the valve frame is going to be a mass market product that will be in the hands of loads of people, so issues and problems will get fixed, software will be optimised and if the install base is large enough it will be targeted with new software and features.

That’s the novelty. It’s likely going to change things.

To be fair I wouldn’t buy one of those to run Linux, and it’s not a extremely hard to see why the average consumer wouldn’t want to buy this to run Linux either:

I’m guessing India either doesn’t actually stop, or starts buying a very similar quantity of oil from Kazakhstan that definitely isn’t Russian, no, don’t think too hard about it.

-Get off social media, comparison is the thief of joy. People post their best moments and they make them look better than they are in reality. It’ll make you feel bad or FOMO and subconsciously damage your confidence and happiness. The insidious thing is even though we all know social media is fake, our lizard brain deep down doesn’t so even though you know it’s all bullshit your subconscious reads it as real. Best thing to do is to get off it completely but that can be impossible socially so limit your time and exposure to it. Use it to make real world plans with friends and then call it quits for the day.

-You’re young, now is the best time to increase your bone density! Work out, lift weights, train with a weighted vest. Do so safely and your bones will thank you, that way when you’re in your 80s you won’t be so brittle. A broken hip is a life changing event- and not for the better!

-Start to play a team sport, football, netball, hockey, baseball whatever. If you git gud now as teen you’ll have the confidence to join your chosen sports amateur club in whatever city or town you end up in though your life, it’s a cheat code. You get to move to a new place and immediately have 5+ mates who are local. That’s SO good. If you can’t find a team sport, try getting into running, and join a running club, same reason, but team sports are better for bonding.

OpenSuse is a left field choice. Nothing wrong with it - just not a typical first distro. Hope you have a great time with it! I recommend using it for a solid month then working on a windows pc for a day - you’ll be blown away by how asinine windows is once you’ve got used to Linux.

Goodness me, that’s a big panda!

Communism is when the government does something, authoritarianism is when that government legally enforce their actions.

But when the American government forces labour from people to build infrastructure that is neither communism nor authoritarian, because I’m a reactionary idiot and my world view is incoherent other than

Have them kneeling below the height of the embankment they’re building, which is in the middle of the road, which is at road level, and also the ditch they’re kneeling, which is below the embankment but still within the confines of the road, which in is also road level. Escher tier grading.

under normal circumstances, 200GB should be enough for one or two games

lol

And further to that, to Liberals; notice the strange coincidence that your neoliberal politicians keep opening the door to more fascism.

Consider what the contradictions of liberalism are that force them to keep turning to more and more hateful, oppressive and authoritarian policies to keep the contradictions from toppling the system. C’mon, plenty of you know deep down that over 500 people, most of them retirement age (including retired vicars), arrested under terror legislation is ‘a bit much’ and deep down you know that more culture war bullshit isn’t making anyone’s life better it’s just theatre to distract people from the real issues. C’mon your so close to a revelation!

Cool, cool.

A lot of Linux ports are not the best quality to begin with, or even if they were good once, they’re out of date, utilising old fashioned technology that may not be the best at taking advantage of modern hardware. Conversely the windows version was often better built to begin with, and the translation layers have had a huge amount of effort put into them to make them as performant as possible and utilise as much of the hardwares capacity as they can, so much so that sometimes the proton version of windows games running on Linux is actually more performant than the windows native version on running on windows!
