LostWanderer , (edited ) to linux_gaming in Gaming on Linux is great!

Gaming on Linux has drastically improved. I’m still cautious about buying non-native games and running them via Proton, but I am no longer worried about not having access to cool games! Proton is one of the best innovations that Valve came out with thanks to their Steam Deck. It makes non-native games feel like native titles, most of the time my save data is intact, and I can just pick up where I left off. It’s rare that I can’t use an older save if I am using Proton to play a game.

ChaoticCookie , to asklemmy in What is your favorite YouTube channels?

I really like Curious Archive, their video “I Hope It Ends With Monster” is one of my favorites.

Jackthelad , to asklemmy in Books - Do you prefer Paperback or Hardcover?

I find paperbacks more comfortable. Though I have just bought a Kobo so I’ll probably be using that more soon.

Hellmo_Luciferrari , to linux_gaming in Gaming on Linux is great!

There are very few games I have I can’t play on Linux.

Cant get the Crysis Remastered trilogy (epic games variants) working. Can’t get Alan Wake Remastered working above 16fps. And a few more, but guess I don’t need to play them.

Taalnazi , to asklemmy in Books - Do you prefer Paperback or Hardcover?

Personally I’d like me some blend between paperback and hardcover.

Paperbacks can be laid flat (but damage quickly), hardcovers not as easily (but don’t damage quickly).

Something like a concealed Cased-in-Wire-O might be best, but where you don’t really see the spirals between the pages.

Paperback. For big books maybe hardcover so it stays in one piece, but tbh all the 1000+ page books I have are still paperbacks. Even if they were the same price, I think paperbacks are easier to hold and read since they’re more flexible. But the sturdiness of hardbacks can be nice sometimes

BugleFingers , to asklemmy in Most enjoyable content for the least amount of storage

There’s an old game called “total annihilation”, amazing game, I’ve played for probably a couple hundred hours over the years.It’s file size is pretty small too though I can’t remember off the top of my head.

It’s an RTS, there is a more modern version (free I believe) with better QOL and graphics called “Beyond All Reason” though it’s much larger

GregorGizeh , to nostupidquestions in You a sales bargain hunter or do you pay normal?

Depends a lot on what I am looking to buy.

I generally avoid anything with visible branding, aside from sneakers where it is largely a given and I found some nikes that work well with my feet.

I do look to buy quality/durability where possible, within budgetary reason, I try not to contribute to our mountains of garbage too much. Naturally i also avoid short fashion which will look bad next year, which is luckily pretty easy as a man.

For most other things aside from clothing I generally follow the military grade system: buy the cheapest thing meeting your needs. I generally have an initial idea what I am looking for (I basically never go on a sort of unprompted or unguided shopping spree just to buy something) and the needed properties, and I will opt for whatever does what I need the least expensive.

For food and groceries i generally buy organic store brand, though a few brand products just taste irreplaceable, so i go with those.

boredsquirrel , to linux in Is there a program that I can run on my laptop to tell me what Linux distro supports the hardware out of the box? Also whether the hardware is supported at all?
@boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net avatar

Second hwtest suite.

Distros just ship packages, some rare drivers may be missing, distros have different versions of drivers, some are external and packagers just take proprietary code and make it compatible, like with NVIDIA on Fedora.

Emoji? Why not unicode character like $ or €?

This is how you end up with weird Unicode characters like 𖡄.

I don’t care about keeping books on selves and ebooks and paperbacks are easier to read. Hardcovers are always so heavy.

JadenSmith , to asklemmy in If you like romance in fiction, how do you like it? Realistic or Idealistic?

I like for the situation to be real, described in a way that just clicks with my inner voice. I’m not sure where in your question that notion stands.

@NONE_dc@lemmy.world avatar

To be engaging and genuine. I think there’s a lot of ways to achieve it, but it depends on the story and the public, because some may see too idyllic relationships as unrealistic and others may see more down-to-earth relationships as toxic.

The gold surface gets dented, nothing more personalized than a medal with your teeth marks on it.

boredsquirrel , (edited ) to linux in How bad is Ubuntu?
@boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net avatar

Kubuntu chose to not ship Plasma 6 because it didnt match their release point. While in general a good decision, stable releases are the flaw really.

So a semi-rolling Kubuntu yes, but LTS Kubuntu before Plasma 6? Wouldnt recommend.

Ubuntu is also still full in on Snaps. Flatpak comes from a PPA I think. Their store is snaps-first.

While this is not a bad concept, Flatpaks are better for many reasons. They also may be worse for some others, mainly because Snaps just use Apparmor for sandboxing, like the rest of the system, so you can make easy exceptions.

astro_ray ,

They ship flatpak with their own repo for 5+ years.

The apparmour thing can get pretty annoying if an app you Luke breaks because of it.

JillyB , to asklemmy in What is it like to be dead?

I have a friend who used to drink too much water. This eventually lead to him having dangerously low sodium levels but he didn’t know that. One day, he knew something was wrong and was yelling to his landlady next door to get help. He passed out outside of his apartment. Then he was in a coma for 4 days.

I asked him what the coma was like. He said he remembered having a vague sense of panic like he was still trying to get his landlady. He doesn’t remember, but when he first woke up, he was screaming her name and fighting the nurses.
