    Ok, but imaging playing one of the new Doom games with that set up:

    Action starts to get intense.

    The tension, and temperature rises.

    Suddenly, a whisper at the back of your mind “hail satan hail satan hail satan”

    As more enemies appear, and the temperature rises, it becomes louder, pulsing in your ears. Somehow a whisper that is now shouting.

    As you cleanse the demonic filth, the chanting subsides and stops, bringing a measure of peace, at least for the moment.

    The demon is Bill Gates fueled with the tormented souls of Microsoft employees that just got layed off. The solution is to print out a few Arch wiki pages and a usb stick (with Arch) and say “the power of Torvalds compels you” until the PC is once again pure. Than keep your PC pure by avoiding absolutely proprietary software and always praying to Tux for more features.

    Well… the satanists I’ve met definitely seemed like a Linux crowd, so it’s not the worst suggestion prior to sacrificing a goat or something of that nature.

    I just pictured someone throwing pages from the manual on it going “THE POWER OF LINUS COMPELS YOU!” Yeah. I’ll see myself out.

      In the package, there will be a large square of herb-scented paper. This is the entire code for VüDü. Fold this paper into an origami shape resembling the animal you’re installing VüDü on (see also Appendix II). There are folding directions for common animals in the box. Make a hollow inside your paper badger and add a little more blood and hair from your animal.

      Don’t lose the paper; replacements are expensive. There are recipes for homemade paper on the Web, but getting all the information correctly transcribed is a huge task, as this must be handwritten; furthermore, the requirements of herb collecting, drying, and curing are formidable.

      Some man pages are more suitable than others.

        Drakeposting meme: Switching to Linux... Solve your problems? No. Exchanges them with different ones? Yes

        With Linux:

        I don’t have forced updates.
        I do have driver compile error when I update the kernel.

        I don’t have spyware recording my screen.
        I don’t have Discord record my screen when I want it to, either.

        I don’t have ads for games in my launcher.
        I don’t have HDR for games in my Steam library.

        Etc.

          HDR works quite well, with a bit of tinkering naturally, for Steam games. (Fedora 42 using ProtonPlus to get GE-Proton-10 and modifying the launch parameters)

            What GPU and DE? It’s been a complete nightmare for me, and only the gamescope WSI seems to actually work.

              GNOME, what else. AMD Ryzen censored 7 350 with Radeon 860M 32GB of RAM Internal Display

              The drivers for the GPU are unfortunately not in the LiveUSB image so I had to connect my laptop using a HDMI to VGA converter to my CRT monitor to install Fedora xD

              Launch options are: PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%

                I don’t use GNOME, but I’ll give those launch parameters a try and see if that works, thanks!

                Edit: It didn’t work. The game could detect HDR, but the color was completely washed out. Probably Nvidia being Nvidia, but oddly enough HDR can work if I use gamescope as an intermediary.

            Honestly, that was the biggest difference for me, when I switched.

            A bunch of my issues I’d had on Windows just went away, overnight. And, sure, I ran into other problems; but I would’ve on Windows, too, except I can usually resolve them on Linux.

            My machine is so much more usable, just on a daily basis; and I’ve learned so much more about my computer naturally since I switched.

          And the new problems are way above most people’s ability to solve. The usual man on the street is not the usual lemmy user.

          OTOH, I used to give away Little Old Lady computers to seniors. Slap Linux Lite on there, setup their email and browser, DONE. They would never call me back for support.

      Literally saw this on Mastodon yesterday.

      “How come emailing a document to myself is still the easiest way to send something to another device?”

      “Have you tried using Linux?”

        I mean they aren’t wrong. KDE connect on phone and PC is a game changer. GS connect if you use Gnome Desktop. Not only can you send a file instantly, you can also copy your clipboard between devices, answer SMS on your PC, or have the phone pause your PC media when the phone rings. Its amazing. There is a windows version but it doesn’t work properly.

          Aye, “learn a new OS” as the solution to a problem solved by simply using LocalSend on whatever you already have.

        Is it? With the advent of cloud storage, it seems that is the easiest way. Any cloud storage, any OS, its the concept of cloud storage that solves this problem.
