- Comment on ‘It’s about redemption’: Peter Molyneux says Masters of Albion will make up for decades of ‘overpromising on things’ 1 day ago:
I ultimately don’t think he’s a bad guy so I’m rooting for him to show us wrong.
I think he always just believed in his vision too much and didn’t realise that he and his team couldn’t end up delivering on it. And then he’d be so excited about what he’s working on that he just couldn’t not share it with others. I don’t think he ever intended to mislead.
I know there’s the milo thing but with that I feel like he still thought they could do it in the end but Microsoft just needed something right there and then to show. I think that issue ends up more squarely on whoever sold him on what the hardware could do and he had not yet fully hit those walls of limitations enough to realise they weren’t coming down at all. (I also think this goes for Sean Murray too when he did the talk show circuit that Sony put him on)

If you are able to i think ensuring they’re installed on different drivers alleviates most issues

Be careful, windows can fuck up some dual boot setups and make the Linux side worse

It’s more that these are usually terrorists from elsewhere where either there are or people think there are such systems in place that may affect their “reach”

I agree with your statement by the way except for this is also politics

No, the rest are a combination of ones not been verified yet and ones been proven false.
- Comment on Why would I buy this? 1 week ago:
A lot of my recent experiences have been with arch and because it’s always up to date and AUR being as expensive as it is, I always seen to find an easy way to install something, even third party stuff. I’ve never hit any of the issues people have with saying an update can break your system yet, but then again I only install what I need and always uninstall stuff that I either installed accidentally or no longer need.
I tried fedora with nobara for a bit because I liked bazzite, but it wasn’t for me. I got too used to what’s available to me via arch or at least being used to know where to look for that stuff on arch vs fedora
- Comment on Why would I buy this? 1 week ago:
Like I said, I play quite a bit of multiplayer games that work fine. Just not the shitty live service with awful kernel level anti cheat ones which you would never have caught me playing even back on windows.
The only notable games I know that don’t work are valorant and league because of their anti cheat, but i would never want to play them anyway. I’ve played marvel rivals on bazzite though, perfect experience, ended up running better on the same hardware than it did on windows.
I also feel like I have to fight against windows now more then ever. I currently still have to use it for work and it can be a nightmare at times. On Linux if something is wrong I can almost always find a way to fix it. Most of the time you’re shit out of luck on windows 11.

Bigwig studio is a great ableton replacement that is Linux native too. Made by some of the original team from ableton too iirc.
Theres also Reaper if you want something closer to FL studio.
I’m not into CAD stuff at the moment but I’m pretty sure there are some really good open source ones out there at the moment that are Linux native also.
I’ve not had any issues with any games on bazzite or cachyos either. Although I don’t play AAA multiplayer games with the shitty anti cheats, which i think are the only ones that don’t work now. Master Chief collection is about as close to that as I go but that works completely fine.
Keep in mind with bazzite and cachyos i also didn’t need to do any tinkering to get the games to work. They just do.

Ooo Linux mentioned?
What distro are you currently on, I’m intrigued
- Comment on Does you feel Crash Team Racing was better than Mario Kart? 1 week ago:
It’s better but it’s onboarding is worse. Figuring out the drift boosting is harder than figuring it out for Mario kart with the latter feeling love riding a bike and easy to get back into the muscle memory time and time again.
However, whenever you’ve got the feeling of how CTRs works, It feels better than Mario karts. Giving you more control and more engagement in the moment to moment.
Sometimes i bounce off CTR when coming back to it after a very long time going to just play it for a bit but fumble a bunch of drifts and feel like i can’t be arsed trying to figure it out again currently and just play something else with what little time i had currently.

I never said it was small haha. I did say it was big.
I never planned to get a server like this initially. Just the perks of having a partner working in IT for a school that’s decommissioning old tech since they’re outsourcing some stuff soon.

It has 256gb of ram. I don’t remember to CPU power but it has 2.
I want to do self hosted storage, currently have 12-16tb (I’ve forgotten which). I’ll also want to have other services running. Like game servers or things like immich and jellyfin. I’ll also want to have something for git and probably Jenkins (or similar), then also a place to host anything I create that needs hosting.
When i asked where to begin with such a server, pretty much all of the responses were to go with proxmox. I’m not a fan that it’s nagware though so I’m open to other suggestions.

I have a big super micro server i was given a while back but have yet to set it up. I was going to put proxmox on it. Would you recommend yuno over that?

- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 3 weeks ago:
I think some recent EU proposals that make Google responsible for ensuring users can’t install malicious apps is what have caused this to happen though. I could be wrong but I think I remember hearing about that.
- Comment on When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy 3 weeks ago:
Before i decided to ditch Chromium wholesale i originally wanted to try Vivaldi. I loved the customisation except for the strange omission of not being able to have the bookmarks bar only show on a new tab page. How is what is usually one of the only bits of customisation on a standard browser not in the browser lauded over for its customisation. Bonkers

- Comment on Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions! 3 weeks ago:
Road Trip Adventure is one of my favourite racing games. It’s like Disney cars before then. You get to drive around a world doing side quests outside of races.
Driving can feel clunky and it feels really bad in the beginning, but most of it is due to the fact you start off with bad parts. As you upgrade your car the game starts to feel better and better as it goes on. Eventually you get parts to fly and go under water.
…
Also when it comes to final fantasy, there is no one place to start, each game unless a direct sequel (like X-2) they are all completely standalone. None of them are in the same world or universe. They share similar themes but that’s it.
