Absolutely agree. I know much more about operating systems and software that the average person, and I’ve only been able to handle a number of Bazzite issues with Kagi Assistant. Trying to find how to fix something on forums and regular search is extremely time intensive.

Of course keep in mind that if you’re messing around with your OS you might just screw something up and have to reinstall, but so far I’ve not had anything even close to that. Bazzite seems to be pretty hard to break.

Really for me, Linux only became fun once I started using chat tools to help me learn how to make it do everything I wanted. And I’ve been using Linux off and on for work and at home for twenty years. It’s just sometimes really arcane, and the differences between opensuse, Ubuntu, fedora, and mint made it feel like I never could learn how to fix things.

Sometimes things are harder than I want or just aren’t working right out of the box. But then sometimes I’m able to do things that are actually impossible on other operating systems. So it’s really a trade-off. Also it’s getting better every single day. There was an issue I had last month with a controller, I messed around for 30 minutes but couldn’t get it to work. I tried it last week and it just worked. So don’t lose hope entirely.

same! We stayed up all night taking turns playing

I knew without clicking this would be Max Payne or Obra Dinn

Yeah watch out for this one then. Especially if you get into the mods that turn a 30-50 hour campaign into 500+ hours with 20x more complexity.

Same thing I said the other post, be sure it’s a device with removable battery or a battery bypass so it doesn’t turn into a spicy pillow and catch fire

Performative anything is so cringe, and performative toxic masculinity is the king of cringe.

Toxic masculinity is so rooted in fear, it’s like dressing up as a scared mouse. Wow, you’re scared… of different skin colors? People with different outdoor hobbies than you? What a weird sad thing

yeah but a good cardigan is softer than a hoodie and warmer because it’s like cashmere or wool and not cotton/poly blend.

Also makes me look like an old fart

Oh my favorite flavor: depleted uranium cherry

I seriously hope it’s like the rendering at the bottom of the article with two physical button areas (4 each), two physical joysticks, and two touch pads. That feels like the best of all worlds.

I want to love the Steam Controller 1 so much but the missing right joystick and the touch pad for the left dpad just feels so bad for so many games that were designed for two joysticks. It’s so hard to get the muscle memory right. I’m always trying to use the left pad as a dpad and tapping it wrong.

I wish someone could show me what I’m missing but it feels so frustrating

But also maintain an older car for as long as possible, shop at thrift stores, do your own cooking, garden, save meat for special occasions, collect rainwater, get some older used solar panels, and have a small monthly hobby budget. You’ll find you can live so well on so little. For some reason we’ve all been conditioned to act like we’re wealthy for no reason at all. True wealth is freedom from the grind, not a stupid new toy or status symbol.

Become Hobbit pilled and realize the good life isn’t about isolation and stupid stuff but deep connections with friends and the earth.

I’ve been using Bazzite for like a year now and it’s great. I legitimately love using it and so far it plays all the games I like and it’s much more stable than Ubuntu was

whoooa I never thought of that, genius!

Wow wtf that’s suspiciously accurate

buuuuuuut

Modern school is designed to stamp out creativity, compassion, maturity, courage, and critical thinking. It is designed to produce a worker class that is easier to suppress, bully, intimidate, and fool. It accomplishes that goal with ruthless efficiency. Don’t trust me, check out John Gatto, NYC teacher of the year. https://www.cantrip.org/gatto.html

The perfect country to make a bunch of money if you’re young, healthy, highly skilled, and have no kids. If you check all these prerequisites then you are making money like crazy. Just no time off, no flexibility, just working for the man. Everyone else though it’s very hard.

It’s worth a try, you should be able to run an Ubuntu image in distrobox to install the ollama tools

The biggest thing I’ve heard people suggest (and I’ve been using) is to install distrobox. I use it to install some fussy apps that otherwise would have been a dealbreaker. Maybe that helps?

Congrats!

I concur, I went with bazzite for my daily driver and it’s been the best yet, I prefer it over the others I’ve tried: Arch, SteamOS, Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint, and OpenSuse.

It’s got downsides, but I just really like it.

Not OP but mine is natural gas and definitely produces trace amounts of noticeable gases when run. It gives me a very mild headache

That’s the real reason it starts early: so two working parents can get the kids out the door and then still have time to get to work themselves
