I distrohopped for a long time, usually because I got fed up with something not being available for that distro and having to compile from source, and usually failing that despite following the instructions to the letter…

Until I ended up on Nobara.

I’ve used it for a couple years now, been relatively painless for gaming. Everythings compiled/installed/ready for show time from the start. Honestly the gaming experience on linux in general, thanks to proton advancements, has been so smooth that the rare time I have an issue its usually because of a game bug and nothing to do with linux… I do make a point of avoiding games that have excessive anti-cheat though.

I’ve had two issues in as many years of using it that required hitting the Nobara discord, which had the solutions already pinned, and the solutions were little more than a command to copy into the terminal. Folks in the discord are wonderful, helpful people to the not-technical, too.

I don’t have any real minor/annoyances with Nobara the OS, or really even Linux as a whole. my only real ongoing complaint (and this isnt a linux specific issue at all) is a combination of discord being used as a support medium/knowledge base for everything anymore, and the enshittification of search engine results from SEO… So now you cant ever find the solution for any problem, no matter what its about, because half the answers are locked away on discord where search engines cant index, and the other half a buried and unfindable due to a billion AI generated Search Engine Optimized websites/pages that bury any relevant, valuable information so deeply as to be impossible to find without a pith helmet, torches, and long expedition.

yep. Upgrading was super easy too.

Just pulled out my old one (Which was also an AMD card, just to state it obviously), physically installed the new one, and that was all. No driver shenanigans like on windows.

not a single issue with my 6700xt. Even Raytracing works, not that I really bother to use it since its such a pointless FPS drain, but thats besides the point.

Republicans/Conservatives in a nutshell.

other companies arent engineering serial numbers and other identity information into every component, even shit as small as halleffect sensors, so it cant be taken from a damaged device to repair a differnt device of the same make and model.

To act like what apple does is an industry standard is nothing but blatant apple fanboy propaganda.

You and I both know that Apple doesnt do this shit for cost efficiency.

They do it to make make shit worse for consumers and “unauthorized” repair services.

Will Tesla autodrive have a sudden surge of crashing into Synagogues and jewish pedestrians now?

it never ceases to amaze me the amount of time, energy and money apple spends engineering things to be worse for customers.

That sounds super useful for simulator games.

whole new buttons or just remap face button functions?

These fines worked in 1957.

They don’t work today.

Its not an overreach to increase fines to a relative point commiserate with current earnings, so that they can actually harm a company and by doing so discourage future illicit behavior.

To try and claim otherwise is some corpo rat bullshit.

These fines come on the heels of willful behavior, that they believe they can make money off of even accounting for the fines… Which turns the fine into nothing more than a tax. With higher fines, that can destroy their profits and damage their company, they won’t be so eager to pencil evil into the expense line.

Google made 100 billion last year.

300 million is barely a blip.

The fine should have been 30 billion.

if the fines arent big enough to seriously hurt a company, Then the fines are not big enough to change their behavior.

They just become a tax on evil.

Don’t owrry, he’ll file a spurious lawsuit against them soon, which they will immediately settle, in a totally-not-legalized-bribe means of smoothing over the upset.

I know all about Notch being a massive piece of shit, and am 100% in favor of him sitting alone in his big mansion, festering in his own filth.

legalized bribery. he files bullshit lawsuits demanding payola and they cave no matter how great their chance if winning is… cause its not about lawsuits its about bribes

is this why microsoft made it so they can ban people for what they say in a privately hosted server?

Target Audience is people who don’t give a flying fuck about the bible or the brown socialist terrorist inside it

You know, the majority of American “Christians”

Oh look, hes pushing yet another Golden Idol…

I’m sorry, you don’t deserve that.

If you have the mental energy/space, there are usually state therapists boards of some kind that you can call and report that behavior too… Too few people do that, though (and I’m including myself on that list), because a lot of people who seek out therapists are in a bad, vulnerable state and just don’t have the mental space to go through with reporting these assholes like they deserved.

Seriously. I’d love some free healthcare.

I’d probably be able to be more functional if I had proper healthcare.

This whole thing of “Free healthcare = leeches” is fucking insulting.
