In essence what he said was “know what you’re doing” from what I can tell. No major judgement of the behavior, but instead just a notice that one should be aware of their actions. Personally I’d love if more sites just added a ko-fi link or similar. You made good stuff? Here’s some money I can spare, and if I get even more use out of your content in the future, I’ll pay you a little more then.

Thank you for sharing this! Wouldn’t have known about it without you, time to sign it

Oh no, whatever shall I do?

You can’t just throw that into a machine translator and call that a translation. Well, I mean, you can… but that makes it seem like what you wrote there is correct, if you don’t add the required context that you don’t actually know the language you just translated there.

“Schwachmat” basically just means “idiot” and “weak mate” is not even remotely close to what was being said there.

I mean, there’s always your own, if you want to

Sorry, I should’ve checked before posting

A quick reverse image search suggests it’s from the Webtoon “Monsters and Girls” made by Idolmantises

Are you male or female?

My dad is male and my mom is female, so basically, I’m mixed

And, put simply, that is entirely fair.

While I personally deem Windows to be worth not much more than the sum of its software and hardware support, that is certainly an important factor for many. I would encourage many people to at least attempt to use Linux, as Microsoft’s monopoly on non-apple pcs is rather worrying, and they may even prefer Linux completely disregarding that factor, as I did, but you have clearly tried and figured out it doesn’t work for you. Depending on the distro Linux can satisfy developers, average computer users, at this point even many gamers, but creative support is clearly lacking and if you need it then that’s the final word on that.

While I encourage you to take another look in half a decade, or maybe a full one, please remember that people here on Lemmy are rather… preachy about Linux. So you’re gonna get backlash for that decision, no matter how much sense it makes. Please do not let that behavior taint your view of Linux as a whole <3

Or in other words: Every OS has its advantages, I’m happy you found the right one for you at the moment, do give Linux another shot eventually, but for now just ignore the people telling you you’re wrong or that there’s some kind of easy fix for your multitude of issues and don’t let that annoy you :3

I bought an HP Envy, one of these convertible laptop thingies, when I didn’t know any better. The hinge broke about a month after the warranty expired. Repair costs (at a local repair shop, but still) were like 200€ because apparently I had to buy a whole new top cover for the damn repair to work

Anyways, I’m gonna buy a Framework laptop next because fuck going through that again

Blåhaj is clearly not enjoying it :c

With this kind of behavior it’s just a self-fulfilling prophecy. Please change and grow as a person, alright? Love yourself and let others love you.

Alright, now I’m intrigued

What about game support though? I’ve heard Proton/Wine stuff in general is a bit less functional on Wayland/Hyprland and with how on the edge it is for some games, I’m not in the mood to give more functionality up for better aesthetics

I mean, I’m using btrfs and I assume everything’s fine? Didn’t run into any issues so far, apart from when I accidentally forgot to put my swap file into its own subvolume and timeshift didn’t let me do backups anymore for a bit until I fixed that, but as far as I know there’s an option in the installer where it does all that for you, I just forgot to tick the box

I think it’s mostly a problem with rolling updates. Things like Deep Rock Galactic worked perfectly fine for a while and then suddenly the initial screen was entirely black for whatever reason, every time I tried to start it. The game is still playable though, so it’s mostly a minor inconvenience. Also, with Team Fortress 2 I have to first switch on Proton, then swap back to native, because it doesn’t start at all with proton and if I try to just start it without swapping back and forth, it turns off both my side monitors and changes the middle one’s aspect ratio to 5:2 for whatever inexplicable reason. That happened after an update as well. Only one game is entirely broken so far, the rest is just minor inconveniences and I’m waiting for new updates to maybe fix them again.

So yeah, it’s mostly fine :3

I initially wanted to go Manjaro, but was firmly discouraged. EndeavourOS was recommended as a more terminal-centric alternative. The looks here can be replicated on anything with KDE Plasma though, so there are a lot of other distros to choose from with which you can get this same look. Get the Dracula theme, make some new panels, and add widgets to your liking and you basically got what I have here :3

Nope, worked perfectly fine out of the box. I heard bad things about Nvidia and Linux, but I didn’t really run into any issues that I can tell are Nvidia’s fault so far.

Yep, my first Linux distro after finally abandoning Windows. There’s so much to explore! I wanna try some new desktop environments like Gnome, maybe try out Mint or something else Debian-based some time, and either once I get an AMD GPU or it gets more stable with Nvidia, try out Hyprland :3

The customizability of all this is awesome and I love it so much so far! The only problem is, as you’d expect, certain games don’t work well :c

Yep, randomly found it as I was skimming through the game files and thought it suited my general colour theme very well :3

Great game and the dlc is even better, especially the music
