My girlfriend’s 2012 MacBook Pro is also running Fedora like a beast with its upgraded 16GB or Ram and its SSD.

It’s great that old hardware gets a bew chance to shine!

• AppIndicator and Kstatusnotifieritem Support
• Auto move Windows
• Maximized By Default Reborn (doesn’t work on some of my apps which open at the start of every session)
• Tiling Assistant

I love Gnome stock but I really think these should be there by default.

I’ve also learned to wait a few months after each new version of Fedora as the extensions always need time to become compatible.

Sometimes I’m intrigued by how much I could recreate what I love in Gnome in KDE.

Well I guess people are mad about some story decisions.

But it’s thanks to those decisions that the second is so great as you can feel the pain and the anger of the characters.

A really incredible game even if I haven’t tried the remake.

The second one is better still, but not everyone agrees.

This is where I got answers about how to get the wifi working on my wifés 2012 MacBook Pro running Fedora

I don’t remember the steps but the answers are in there.

It might be your reality but it’s clearly not mine.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve rewatched Alien or Terminator.

So yes it’s true that I’m using Netflix more than my DVD’s, but I’ll watch a lot of these movies again for sure.

Also, despite the low resolution, DVD’s now have some kind of charm in their picture quality and it’s perfectly good enough for me.

But, of course, someone who doesn’t enjoy cinema the way I do shouldn’t be going through such a hassle.

Yeah I wouldn’t mind an Electric Golf R, but then as an estate to run it alongside my (dream) MX-5.

For now I’ll hold on to my 2018 Seat Leon Cupra ST.

Interesting. I didn’t know about it.

It’s clever, but they should have used this money to make discs more durable instead😇

I’ve found my happiness with MakeMKV for the DVD’s at least.

I’ll see how I’ll proceed with the Blurays in the future, but I don’t have any other Bluray player except my Playstation 3-4-5 for now.

I guess I’ll use Make MKV Beta as it seems to work well and VLC can open the MKV files. Thanks for your help!

But then would I be able to read them on any computer without burning them?

I think it should be possible to still run Linux on almost every 25 years old computer.

If the computer is older than this, it really becomes a piece of history and I can accept that it’d take efforts from the user to keep it in use, just like a collection car.

I only hope no bricking update is gonna be proposed to the people running such old hardware. The distribution should check if the hardware is compatible with a newer kernel before updating.

Still I think it’s important that Linux remains the OS of choice for old hardware and that the some distros remain deficated to these museum pieces.

Good argument too.

I guess they’re adavantages and inconvenients in every situation.

What you’re talking about could even happen on a physical game receiving an online update.

I had never thought about this but this is a great argument in favor of digital vs physical.

Still I prefer owning my games when given the choice.

Well I think Tuxedo computers would work easily with any other distribution. It’s not based on anything factual but I guess we would have heard a lot of bad things about Tuxedo if they were acting like this.

From the little I know, they have some aditional stuff with Tuxedo OS, but they are also trying to get it added to the Linux kernel.

If course I would want to be corrected if I’m wrong as my knowledge is kind of limited.

Franework isn’t even available in my country (switzerland) so I guess it’ll be difficult to find refurbished ones in the EU.

Thanks. I’ve seen a few sellers showing the battery health of their Deck, so I might choose one of these.

I’ll probably end up playing a lot of strategy games or ps3 era games on 720p with 30 fps on the big screen so I hope what you mentioned won’t be a problem.

I also hope it’ll be smooth jumping from portable mode to docked mode (a bit like the Switch) and it’ll be able to directly go into 720p30fps mode without having to set it up all the time.

Yeah I kind of agree. What I wanted to say is that they are part of the games I would have wanted to play but never did. Sorry if it made you feel old 😅
