- Comment on Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years 1 day ago:
I run a dual boot system with no issues at all. Just need a second drive for Linux and let GRUB chain load the Windows disk.

I’ve been working on getting set up for music production on Linux, it is possible, but it has a lot more challenges. Manjaro Linux running the 6.13 RT kernel has worked well for stability with Bitwig Studio and Ardour, but the amount if plugins that are impossible or very difficult to install makes it feel limited.

I wish I could use Linux for everything, but there are still things you need Windows to run. It would be amszing to be able to run Nuke, Houdini, Ableton Live and the Native Instruments manager on Linux, but it’s not remotely possible now.

I went to Manjaro (Arch) with KDE from Mint about 5 months ago, and it’s been nearly flawless, allowed me to easily install a real time processing kernel for audio production, and it’s run every game I’ve thrown at it better than Winblows.

Manjaro with KDE Plasma has been working pretty flawlessly with an nvidia card for me.

Yes, they are different countries, and they will continue to be the countries that make the tech products you buy at an inflated, tariffed rate.

Your phone was made in China. Most if the components were manufactured in Taiwan. Same goes for every chip in your car, and very likely for you Japanese microwave.
None of those chips for your computer, your phone, or your car were made in the US, and thanks to Lil Donnie’s tantrum against the CHIPS act, none of them ever will be.

Yes, all these companies are using the same breakthrough in memory manufacturing to build similar products out of the same base memory modules. And none of the memory modules they’re using were made in the US (ooh scaaary).

I know reading is really hard for you, but if you do, you’d learn that this is just another company doing the same thing that the big names like Samsung and Sandisk have already done.

Helldivers 2 is fantastic fun and I still play it weekly, even though I’m max level with everything unlocked.

I know, I’m being generous with that 200.

Well la-dee-dah! Look at Mr. “I think humans will still exist in 1000 years” over here. Let’s be real, we’re on track to extinct ourselves in the next 200 years if we don’t make some very difficult and dramatic changes to our behavior.

But many of the releases you’ve pirated were ripped from the Bluray.

And Starboard has 2 R’s which makes it the rright.
- Comment on What's the game you play when nothing else sounds good? 3 months ago:
I am beyond excited! Keen has been tooling up the engine and adding the most popular mods’ features, like real water physics, higher max object speed, but most importantly, they’re making the grid system unified, so you can build large and small grid size pieces together seamlessly.

Space Engineers. I can just build and build and build, and the community seems to always have a few new interesting mods whenever I’m looking to start a new world.
