I would say don’t overthink the distro. Just about any distro will provide nearly the same performance in gaming, some will just pre-install drivers that you could just install manually. Proton takes care of just about everything automatically anyways.

I enjoyed installing arch as it was a learning experience, and I learn more every time I install it on other machines. But Ubuntu would probably be just fine and has a ton of documentation, and a healthy community to provide support.

I think a lot of Linux newcomers get stalled on this choice because the options are overwhelming. There are so many choices. But at the end of the day once the installation is over, the experience will be almost the same as another distro with the same desktop environment.

If you want to run Linux, choose an distro that is easy to install and just dive into it. If you like tinkering with computers then you will love running Linux.

Why wait? Linux has never been better. I have tried to daily drive various distros for the better part of a decade and have just recently (about a year ago) settled in Arch and have never looked back.

Tbf most Canadian grade 9 teachers skip it.

I teach this to my grade 9 class in Canada. It’s on the curriculum.

Makes sense. Thanks for the info!

Maybe it hasn’t been fully implemented yet but when I play HDR videos in MPV right now it is still not working. But running that command works as expected.

Couldn’t you already do this using the command below? (Under “video”)

No hate, but I laughed out loud when I read distraction free and saw that the first screenshot shows an embedded browser.

Like, I get that there is value in having an embedded browser but if it’s there then I would not consider the editor to be distraction free.

Somehow I find this much worse.

What’s wild to me is that after making over 10b in a few months Google still has the gall to want to squash ad blocking. How much more money do they want? To what end?

Probably 4k oled

Seldom do “photo realistic” graphics add to a game, at least for me. All it takes is a close up of one person talking to break it.

Honestly I think that reels in general are toxic to mental health. I say we just move on.

Rclone does what I want, for the most part.

I read that as pi hole and was confused because pi hole is licensed under the European Union Public License (EUPL) which I’m pretty sure can copy from GPL with attribution. Also they both block ads in very different ways.

Anyways isn’t it also weird, then, that there is an extension called pi blocker? Or pie blocker?

To each their own! You don’t have to like it if you don’t want to :)

I don’t have any strong feelings about Star Trek. But I know enough to treat it as a piece of philosophy. It was never about the most advanced visual effects possible (although some of the effects and makeup are quite impressive imo). Star Trek was an investigation into what it means to be human, and the morality behind that. If there was cool tech stuff, that was bonus.

To emulate a numpad.

If this works I would recommend yuihjknm, being mapped to 789456123 respectively, with space mapped to 0. That’s how I have it set up on my mechanical keyboard and it’s quite fast. I also recently mapped b to . which makes typing IP addresses quite a bit faster.

mpv FTW!
