Distro recommendations and Nvidia advice?
I’m planning on putting linux on a gaming laptop (an Asus TUF f15 from 2021), and I’m having a hard time deciding which distro to go with. I’m particularly interested in Nobara and Garuda, but any recommendations or advice are welcome....

Random Pixel observation: Google crops Motion photos
A few times I remember going to crop a photo and the app telling me it would remove the Motion part of the photo. Today I noticed I edited a Motion photo and it actually cropped the video in the motion data. the Result is literally just a cropped motion photo that retains the cropped motion. just thought that was near since for...

Rust on Linux
I’ve found that you can play Rust on servers on linux. The only caveat is that the server has to either have EAC turned off or have their own AC, which on official servers is very rare. But its a lot more common on cracked servers (ArabArust for example). So if you really want to play Rust, you can. Just search cracked rust...
Piper taught me exactly how to pet him
Okay, this one happened two days ago and I’m still freaked out about it. Sorry, it’s a bit longer, but I wanted to explain how it happened, but Tl;dr: My cat communicates as if there’s a person trapped inside of him that doesn’t speak my language....

What do you all think of LBRY/odysee
I know it isn’t currently federated, but it seems like a good yt alternative atm.
Asking Palestinians to say that Israel has a right to exist is like asking Native Americans to say the USA has a right to exist. What about Israel exists and has the right to continue to exist?

Being flashbanged by my fingerprint sensor
Hey folks. Got a pixel 7 pro, and it’s been alright, except suddenly, if I press the fingerprint sensor on the lock screen for just a split second, it makes the WHOLE SCREEN go full-brightness, with a green tinge. I know it’s always lit up the scanner area, which is all it lights up if I hold the sensor, but if I release it...
Importance of a low intellectual quotient
In recent weeks I have met a pretty and sweet girl with what I consider her only biggest problem: her IQ. She is slow, does not remember things and has no concentration at all, has no arguments, systematically repeats the usual twenty words. (A bit like the character of Forrest Gump, for those who do not know what low iq means)....
Question about Proton
I am buying a friend’s PC for games. I want to avoid windows if at all possible, and I’m wondering what people’s experience using Proton in Linux for gaming has been. Are there certain publishers who use libraries Proton doesn’t handle well? Are there distros to avoid using with proton? Any other notes I should be aware...

I thought nothing much of it at the time, assumed it was some way to speed up streams or whatever and just went on with my day....
