Tbh running AMD isn’t easier. For my workload I needed OpenCL and when it wasn’t installed by default, and wasn’t apart of apt package manager. I had to follow a script which involves amdgpu and only having OpenCL install if I wanted my machine stable.

Not the best experience.

For Nvidia some distros have installers built in to handle it. Like Mint where it’s one click and a restart and I have everything.

I didn’t. I got a legit Windows 10 education edition and iso from my university when windows 10 came out. Along with windows 7 and xp

I know it won’t corrupt my data. I’ve just heard enough stories of a a windows update deleting grub that I didn’t want to risk it.

Nah, they usually don’t have that any more. From what I’m told it’s background noise for them to fall a sleep too. I’m also told they pay hundreds of dollars every month just to enjoy this.

I think we need to define TV.

Tv in the sense of broadcast stations and shows. Haven’t touched that since 2008, DVDs and Streaming has everything I want.

TV in the sense of a shared screen for everyone. Nah, still needed and can be better than ever thanks to streaming, both retail and… other sources (plex)

I am doing my part

steam deb, I’ve had issues with Flatpak. Also using other launchers

Unfortunately I cannot install gamescope, running Linux mint, and it is not apart of the packages. And the build instructions requires multiple library downgrades, and when it was done, it spat out a Wayland error.]

I believe this is also relevant for Ubuntu 24.04 as well.

EDIT: Oh and after a reset I borked my Mint install. Thank you snapshots for the rescue

I didn’t know where else I could post it. The Harry Potter lemmies are a bit confusing to figure out what is safe to post where, especially with a community that has posts and engagement (even if it’s memes). So I would consider myself an outlier.

Silhouette Cameo 4, it’s a good machine without the whole cloud thing like circut. However it’s still quite limited in what it can cut.

We’ve tried cutting real leather on it and it just doesn’t want to cut it. Stickers paper and stuff like this is fine thou

Because the Action button is hard to remember and it’s not a mute switch any more

Trying to avoid apps with subscriptions. The way I see it, it’s a question of when not if they change how the app works.

I 100% agree, and have Fusion360 in my VM. But there is a method to FreeCAD’s madness and once you get it, FreeCAD begins to make sense.

I found it hard to go back to fusion especially with the amount of control I had with my designs.

Also FreeCAD V1 is out, and it’s a marked improvement over their previous releases. Might be worth a try.

Being able to sync music or movies to my iPhone/iPad. More of an Apple issue than Linux, yet Mac/PC is compatible.

VLC does work, but since it’s not how Apple wants you to use your device it’s not as convincing nor flushed out.

Normally I’d upload these to thingiverse or printables, but these models are too specific to upload the STL’s. That said I did design them in FreeCAD and I’ve uploaded them to my GitHub Here; https://github.com/the16bitgamer/16BitVirtualStudiosDesigns/tree/main/Misc/TV Mounts

Easily. It’s annoying, but if it bugs me that much I could just flip it upside down and put a rubber pad down so the top doesn’t get scuffed.

“Hahahaha”

Oh wait. You’re serious? Let me laugh even harder.

“HAHAHAHA”

Thank you so much for this, didn’t know where to get the unions side of things.

I was getting the impression management wanted to compete with the Amazon curriers but I didn’t expect this.

The union has every right to fight this, and I hope they win. At the same time I hope that they do find a middle ground with the 7-day delivery. While I don’t want/need it, the general population does expect 7 day/week delivery like everyone else does. Even if it’s only a limited service I feel it’s something they can negotiate with. (Not that it means much based on their article)
