I love LibreOffice. Often when it’s mentioned I’ve seen people with the opposite sentiment, but it never caused me any trouble and I really enjoy the small tabs option for the interface.

Microsoft Office has once decided to take my locally created file, shove it somewhere in OneDrive, then revert it to the state it was 24 hours prior - I couldn’t recover the newer version. Guess which software never deleted my files? LibreOffice.

Nowadays I’ve been seeing lots of people porting Super Mario 64 as the challenge, as Doom is honestly beyond trivial at this point. I’m totally onboard, SM64 is a fantastic game, it shows off traditional shaded polygon and rasterization performance pretty well, and it’s just plain fun to spite Nintendo.

Arch users overreacting to a meme is not helping refute it. I use arch, btw.

kadu , 3 months ago to retrogaming in I want Nintendo Streetpass in my life again...

Ah, back when Nintendo mastered the concept of using proven, slightly older technology, in genuine amusing and fun ways. The 3DS had StreetPass, Download Play, free AR games, a free Flipnote animation app, a sound editor, several hidden easter eggs, an interface that had themes and badges and trinkets.

Now you get a flat, soul-less interface with a lot, and I do mean a lot, of updates trying to stop pirates. They do not work. The browser also does not work. You’re getting sued for mentioning Nintendo in this post without the proper license, by the way.

kadu , 3 months ago (edited 3 months ago) to linuxmemes in That's why we need two ssds for dual boot

Having two drives is sometimes not enough, either. I have no idea why, but anytime Windows installs for the first time or goes through a major update (not the small security patches, but the periodic feature releases) there’s a random D20 dice throw to determine if it will randomly decide to create the bootloader and recovery partitions in another drive, even though your main installation isn’t there.

I kid you not, Windows 10 once decided that my external SSD enclosure was the best place to put the bootloader.

Perhaps it’s gotten better since the last time I’ve used a laptop, I really avoid them nowadays. Either way, good to know.

kadu , 3 months ago to linux in Rant: My recent experience of trying to install windows for gaming and why I'm really thankful for Linux

Drivers for desktops are pretty much a non-issue on Windows, in fact, most will be installed via the internet before you even boot the desktop for the first time.

Drivers for gaming laptops are a nightmare on Windows, and you’ll probably have to chase weird slow pages in the manufacturer’s website to perhaps find 4 packages that might contain the driver you want.

Biologist here. Can confirm, that’s exactly how it happens. No need to look into plant physiology textbooks.

I repeat: do not look for plant physiology textbooks. Do. Not. Please. Please while you can. Do not.
