That is NOT the same as saying one should expect to make money from developing free software. It just means if you’re in a position where you can charge money, you should and for as much as it’s worth.
Exaaaactly. None of this would be a problem if everyone’s basic necessities were a guarantee: housing, food, water, essential utilities. Think of all the cool stuff we’d have if all these OSS developers weren’t worried about putting food on the table. I would give zero shits if my open source work was “stolen” to make a profit by some giant company if I didn’t have to worry about making enough money to survive.
I’m definitely not trying to convince you or anyone that your choice of Debian is wrong. Like I said, if it works for you, that’s great. And I don’t mean that sarcastically haha.
I was iffy about immutable for a long time because I’m definitely a tinkerer. But it ended up being the best Linux experience I’ve had in almost a decade of using it.
It does pose problems if you need custom compiled kernel modules, but that’s few and far between. Especially with something like Bazzite that tries to include everything one might need in their images.
Maybe what I don’t understand is less a new user’s choice of Debian or Ubuntu, but moreso that it’s still so heavily recommended by Linux veterans when there are objectively better options.
Not understanding does not mean smugness or judgement from me, so no one crucify me lol. As long as it works for you, that’s all that matters.
I will never understand why people choose Debian. I’m glad it works for you, but it’s just such an odd choice for gaming. Much higher chance of stuff not working with newer hardware than distros with more up to date packages.
From what I gather, if the allegations are true, then Luigi never claimed to be knowledgeable enough to have solutions but recognized general issues.
This would, presumably, absolve him of inconsistencies since he didn’t claim to be the arbiter of truth or an expert.
This is a genuine question btw, I’m realizing I don’t really know much about the manifest or his views beyond health insurance companies being evil. So I’m curious to hear what you mean.
The article literally said she doesn’t associate with him or his family. Seems like she’s away from him…
But damn… I can’t imagine what it would be like to be trans and have your dad as the most prominent and powerful Nazi in the world, spearheading a sham federal org called DOGE that is basically eliminating all reference to people like you and firing people like you in the most powerful country in the world.
It will be difficult, but technically possible. You’d have to ensure bitlocker is disabled on your windows drive. If you’re not sure what that is, don’t assume that means it’s not enabled. Windows does enable it by default in some cases. It encrypts your drive and you won’t be able to access it.
But in all honesty, I’d recommend just starting from scratch if steam games are what you’re most worried about. First, some of them might not work on Linux. Second, you may encounter strange issues that require redownloading much of your library anyway. Lastly, you’ll want to transfer them to a drive with a Linux file system which will take time. That’s if you even have the drive space to spare. More likely is you’ll be formatting that drive anyway to a Linux filesystem, wiping the contents anyway.
Even with slow internet, redownloading games as needed will be way easier and likely faster.
If you’re unsure what distro to go with, I recommend going with Bazzite. It’s a distro optimized for gaming and is an atomic distro. If you don’t know what that means, don’t worry about it, just know that for most casual users, an atomic distro makes way more sense and is much less likely to break. Additionally, if you have nvidia hardware, the drivers come pre installed so it’ll work right out of the box.

Bruh. Couldn’t be more bot than this
You are taking this conversation way too seriously.
This made me laugh. Thank you
I pay for Kagi search. It’s amazing

Bazzite is fantastic.
I feel seen lmao
Damn.
You make a solid argument, I dont think any further discussion is needed.
Ummm, have you been in a cult?
Isn’t PlayOnLinux not maintained?
Peter Thiel is gay. Let’s just stop judging people’s goodness or badness from stupid things like sexuality.
What was inconsistent?

So many layers to that experience, I imagine.

This seems much more likely lol
Who is “they” and why do they have “all bats”? Also, what’s an all bat?
On a more serious note, I didn’t know most bird species were bats. That’s wild.
This is fucking sick
