Same. I gave up on Bazzite (for the time being) the second time it just stopped updating. The first time, I had to rebase it entirely to get it to work for a while again. I wouldn’t want to put a new person through that. I’m not sure why everyone has a hard-on for immutable distros “for beginners” suddenly.
Sure, if you are comparing to having no anti-cheat at all… But there are tons of competitive games out there using more “traditional” anti-cheat that don’t need kernal access that are doing fine.
Their number also makes no sense if you look at the previous figure “Over 188 million people in the United States use a subscription video streaming service”. Average of 10 bucks a month makes 1.8 billion revenue per month, which means the bring in roughly 21.6 billion per year in revenue… Are they suggesting that MORE people choose piracy over streaming services? That feels like a ludicrous claim. More likely they are estimating the number of “illegal downloads” and assigning the price to buy a digital copy instead… Like if piracy was impossible the people that do it would be buying digital copies instead of signing up for streaming services.
And that is all before you look at your point, that a vast majority of the “illegal downloads” they are likely claiming would have never been sales, they would have just been people that never consumed their media.
heh, you said “PP”.
I think those chances vary a lot based on where your parents live.
I bet she’d like it if you told her it was racist and anti-trans…
Not immediately, but eventually… When the the thing stops working correctly (because/or it is infected with entirely new and exciting viruses), they will take it to someone to fix and get told they have to upgrade and it will be pitched entirely as “your computer is a worthless paperweight, please buy a new one”. A campaign like this is there to plant the seed so that when those people get told, they might remember that they have options.
I mean, it is very “broad strokes” but correct. Ultimately though I don’t think their goal is to get people to just do it themselves. It seems like their bigger goal is connecting people in the community to people that want to make the switch to help smooth out the transition.
That “about” page is fucking wild. They spend like half the page sucking themselves off over how great of a job they did designing their own logo, and then the other half telling the user the proper way to reference the company and its products. I really want to spend some time on the live chat breaking all the rules, like not capitalizing every letter of their name…
Welcome! So happy to see new converts, and even more when they have an “it went well” story!
I’ve been using that for ages to share my screen, but it doesn’t bring over the audio which can be annoying, but otherwise works great. I am sure there are ways to get the audio into it, but it felt like it would be more trouble than it was worth.
Call the Trumpulance?
Wait, what happened to Ondsel? I’ve been using it for the last several months as it just seemed to make more sense than FreeCAD did…
I disagree with dual booting at the early stages. I like dual booting (or even better a VM if that covers you) once you’ve figured out what works and what doesn’t (assuming something vital is in the “doesn’t” category); but, if you are trying to decide if it is right for you, I don’t think it does you any favors to be able drop back into old habits so easily. My recommendation is drop a bit of money on a second hard drive, pull the windows drive out and install just Linux. See if it works for you, if your “must-haves” are running painlessly or not. You still have the safety net if things go REALLY badly of just popping in the old windows drive and changing your boot options in the BIOS, but you will be less tempted to just boot Windows every time you use the computer - until you really have to.
For a start, in practice you aren’t likely to actually reboot and load into a different OS very often. You can’t really give something new a fair shake while you are still spending most of your time somewhere else. Minor things, like how you like your system to look/work will just push you back to windows because it’s easy and you won’t ever look at the options to find out that it can do what you want (and likely more). Second, there is the pesky windows updates that likes to fuck with the boot loader.
This is really only advice for an enthusiast that really wants to try Linux. I know some will disagree - everyone’s experiences are different, but it is definitely my preferred methodology and helped me make the leap.
Am I the only one that pronounces it swa-penis and giggles every single time?
It looks like the installer in the background of picture 2 is seeing sda6, what issue is it having, can you post a screenshot of that whole window without other windows on top?
What did you use to create the partition? Free space that is listed would be space that is not formatted or allocated in the partition table at all, it doesn’t really know if that space is available to take or is being used.
Also, having the partition (probably the entire drive actually since you’ll need to edit the partition table) mounted while you are trying to edit the partitions can cause issues.
Ouf, :(
I did say I was dense… lol
I use Okular all the time. I am so dense I didn’t even realize Krita and Okular were both developed by KDE…
I was going to suggest something similar. Basically, unplug the windows drive entirely, install linux on a dedicated drive. Then plug them both in and use the bios to decide which one to use. Basically don’t have them interact at all. That way, worst comes to worst, you can boot into windows exactly as it is.
If this was a personal machine you use for recreation, I would fully support just dropping windows entirely. But no matter how much I want to support a fellow Linux convert, if you make your livelihood from this computer, I wouldn’t risk any downtime that costs you money.
