My ex had one of them RGB everything rainbow gamer PCs.

Windows would auto boot to update in the middle of the night and turn the whole apartment into a rave…

Welcome to the Club!

I had a similar issue around 2 years ago now on POP where my bootloader didn’t even show up in the bios anymore.

If you still have the a USB with the live boot of POP you can use it to recover your files n stuff.

Can someone correct me here.

If I have i2P enabled on my qBittorent client and I start seeding a torrent downloaded from a non-i2P connection.

Does my seed of it allow others to download that torrent through i2P?

qBittorrent! You can even add a search plugin directly in the client.

Was using Deluge before on Windows and for a while when I switched to Linux but started having issues with it.

I still got a torrent from 2005 seeding, with 2 other people.

I was surprised how many co-workers my age and younger (GenZ) don’t even own a laptop let alone a desktop.

I know it was becoming more niche, but didn’t expect it to happen that fast…

A VPN is a must have for browsing the internet in the UK these days, our laws and only getting more Orwellian by the day.

By all means do what you must to avoid handing over data to our police-state government.

I’ve heard more than a handful of artists getting some money that way after putting their own albums up on torrent/file-share sites.

As someone who started using Linux while on Nvidia and stuck with it for over a year before going full AMD.

Just go AMD, so many little things I had to find workarounds for just because of Nvidias shitty drivers.

Even after Nvidia claimed to support wayland I could never get it to run on my install, then having to manually configure my xorg just to get my 170hz monitor working which then introduced graphical issues I just couldn’t fix…NONE of that was an issue the moment I swapped to a RX 7800 XT, didn’t even have to install any drivers they’re just standard in the kernal.

We need more glossy dark mode themes!

I had a similar blue & black theme through Windowblinds back on Win7 for a while.

Yeah I agree with you most the time.

I was gonna give him credit for talking positively about the Discover app store, but he also made the whole flatpak vs native package thing sound way more complicated than it really is…

Alright I watched the video and besides it being what you’d expect from a typical LTT video, I don’t see anything that’ll get me to raise a pitchfork.

He’s talking about SteamOS from the POV of the average gamer, who he calls “Joey Mainstream”. I’m starting to wonder how many people on this site regularly talk to none Linux users/gamers?

I also brought this up in another post a while back, Your average gamer doesn’t care about open-source, privacy, software, corporate overreach, etc. They just want software OS made by a corporation they trust. Most of these people probably only know of Linux from memes about needing a PHD to install a web browser.

Also should point out I personally do care about all the things I mentioned before. And I think mainline/non-SteamOS Linux is already great for gaming. I’m just pointing this out as the general consensus from most people I talk to who a line with the “average gamer”.

I’d like to think there’s a difference between “keeping up with the times” and chasing whatever new thing gets advertised.

Unless you’re really into number chasing with benchmarks then just keep using whatever you like until something YOU find better comes along.

Also I’m GenZ and just use whatever comes with the DE, it’s not an old person thing shakes fist.
