I second this. I use GNOME with extensions instead of KDE, but that’s just personal preference.
I used Pop_OS! for about a year before moving to Fedora. I got a new AMD video card and needed the latest kernel drivers. Fedora has the rolling release model that got me what I needed, and since it’s one of the “big 3” upstream distros, I know it’s reliable.
- Comment on Does you feel Crash Team Racing was better than Mario Kart? 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t know about it either, but when I heard about it before nitro fueled released I knew what they were talking about.
It was more of something I felt but didn’t fully grasp at the time. Like a “boost as much as possible and the boost gets way better” thing.
- Comment on Huge internet outage live blog: Amazon, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max and more experiencing issues 2 weeks ago:
All true, one small caveat. If GoG went down, you would still have all your games as long as you downloaded the installer.
But then again, you could just copy the installed files around. That works for most games. So it’s close to the same.

They absolutely were. There are even videos describing it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=od-OQGOXtfY

I know right? “The Karters 2” on steam feels very similar though!
- Comment on Does you feel Crash Team Racing was better than Mario Kart? 2 weeks ago:
CTR did have that. I don’t remember how it compared to Mario kart though.
- Comment on Does you feel Crash Team Racing was better than Mario Kart? 2 weeks ago:
CTR had much more depth.
CTR also rewarded you for understanding the mechanics more. Some boost pads gave you a boost with a higher top speed (blue flame). If you knew how to maintain a boost, you could maintain that blue-flame boost indefinitely.
It’s just that to do that you had to hit nearly every boost pad, triple boost at nearly every corner, and avoid all the obstacles (including touching walls). It’s hard to maintain it, but even maintaining it for a little bit can really launch you towards the front.
- Comment on Does you feel Crash Team Racing was better than Mario Kart? 2 weeks ago:
CTR had two methods of play:
-
Casually playing a kart game and using fun items.
-
Learning the mechanics of nitro reserves to maintain a high top speed for as long as possible.
You start at 1 until you realize 2 exists.

Oh shoot heck dang, time to fire this up!
- Comment on Immich 2.1 Released with Better Slideshow Shuffle, New Notifications 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I’ve been waiting until it’s updates stop breaking backwards compatibility. It’s sounding better and better as time goes on.

Translation: “I run immich in a virtual machine, which I can manage from a web browser. The photos themselves are stored on a different device which gets backed up to a remote location twice a day.”
So why run immich in a virtual machine instead of in, say, a docker? Wouldn’t that be way less overhead? (Or is immich the only thing you’re hosting?)

You don’t drink ketchup. You don’t eat salt. But if you try unsalted fries without ketchup you’ll understand what salt and ketchup are for.

The bummer is that garlic that big tends to be less potent. I think that’s elephant garlic? Bought it once, was very disappointed.

Yeah, that’s all fine and good.
Just don’t confuse “cocaine” with “cocaine laced with fentanyl.” One is significantly worse.

It bothers me that the graphic lists red-then-blue but there text lists blue-then-red. It’s inconsistent to how we read the information and makes it confusing to process.
…like gerrymandering

- Comment on When you work for a company owned by a A..hole 4 months ago:
This is because the gifts must be tossed in the hole. The hole that runs the company. Because the company is run by a hole.
Once the hole is filled the company dies and you are free.

So what can you do with this, run custom-burned DVDs? I’m used to modern consoles with menus and USB ports that can run games of off drives. I don’t even remember if the ps2 has a USB port.
