DharkStare@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•'We will never sign!' Trump stuns as he issues 'bizarre' demand to Swedish cityEnglish28·3 months agoWhen Trump heard that the president is “the leader of the free world”, he took it literally and thinks he’s the ruler of the world.
I switched to Bazzite for my new gaming PC and it’s worked great without any major issues.
The only problem I have is that I’m still not sure how to install software that isn’t through flatpak or package layering.
DharkStare@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•I have used Windows all my life, and I have some questions.English14·4 months agoI’m pretty much the same as you. A lifelong Windows user who got fed up with the direction windows is going. I just recently switched to Linux for my new gaming PC and I haven’t had any major issues. The only thing I still haven’t figured out how to do yet is modding.
As for which distro to use, I would recommend something that comes with the graphics drivers already installed to reduce any initial setup difficulty.
I use Bazzite on my machine. It’s a Linux gaming distro which comes with all the stuff you’ll need to get right into gaming. It’s an immutable distro so it’s pretty difficult to really mess it up but it also makes things a bit more difficult to install anything that isn’t a flatpak.
DharkStare@lemmy.worldto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•Happy three years to the Steam Deck - the Linux gaming machine that changed everythingEnglish58·6 months agoIt definitely changed things for me. With end of life for win 10 coming and not liking win 11, I bought a SteamDeck to see how good Linux gaming has become. It worked so well that I decided to make the switch and put Linux on my new gaming PC.
DharkStare@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Just made the switch to Linux as a lifetime Windows user.English1·6 months agoLike SteamOS, it boots into game mode and provides the option to switch to desktop. There are versions of it that don’t have the game mode but I’m using my PC primarily for gaming. As an atomic distro the system files are read-only. It’s called atomic because the entire system is updated in a single operation instead of just updating individual packages. This means that installing new software can be a bit tricky requiring things like package layering or DistroBox.
One of the big things is the ability to just rollback your system to an earlier version if the update broke anything.
Bazzite is a custom image based on Fedora Silverblue. If you’re interested in non-gaming versions of you can look at Fedora Atomic Desktops.
DharkStare@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Just made the switch to Linux as a lifetime Windows user.English9·6 months agoI’ve just made the Switch to Linux for my gaming PC. I’m running Bazzite right now and it mostly worked. I had some trouble with my Bluetooth controller and speakers but they started working after I switched over to desktop mode and then restarted.
A lot of the troubles I’m having are mainly because it’s an atomic distro instead of a normal one but that’s on me. I figured an atomic distro would make it less likely I would accidentally break something.
I would say that the issue is not who is doing the pardoning but who is being pardoned. There’s a clear difference between Hunter being pardoned and Russian assets being pardoned.
It being small might be part of the problem. Reddit has more money to fight legal battles than lemmy.world
DharkStare@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•The Memo: Trump campaign struggles to contain Puerto Rico October surpriseEnglish8·10 months agoI imagine what they’re trying to contain are angry Puerto Ricans living in the US from going out and voting. The higher the voter turnout is, the greater the chance of Harris winning. Making Democrats angry enough to actually go out and vote is definitely something the Republicans want to contain.
DharkStare@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•On the bright side, zero responsibilitiesEnglish45·10 months agoThat’s how I always felt about it. As long as I get paid, I don’t care what they do with the software.
DharkStare@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•US warns Israel to boost humanitarian aid into Gaza or risk losing weapons fundingEnglish3·10 months agoI’ve always felt that we support Israel for the same reason we support Ukraine. They’re a friendly military force located in a region of the world where we have enemies. Ukraine helps counter Russia and the same for Israel during the Soviet Union era. Now Israel is a counter to Iran and various terrorist groups.
I could be entirely wrong about this but isn’t it in-universe lore that Elves don’t see the curvature of the world and that’s how they can see so far?
DharkStare@lemmy.worldto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Switch 2 Rumors Are Hitting A Fever PitchEnglish18·11 months agoThat’s what I’m hoping for as well. The Switch is a great console and the only thing it really needs is upgraded hardware.
DharkStare@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•'Saucier, more ruthless' Harris campaign pivots to new tactic in Trump attacksEnglish29·1 year agoHer quote never really felt that outrageous. She wasn’t even calling all Trump supporters “deplorable”. Here’s her quote
“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?” Clinton said. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.” She said the other half of Trump’s supporters “feel that the government has let them down” and are “desperate for change.” “Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well,” she said.
DharkStare@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•Russia is barely using one of its best weapons against Ukrainian forces in Kursk because it's scared to hit itself, war expert saysEnglish8·1 year agoIf I was a corrupt Russian general, embezzling funds meant for nuclear deterrence upkeep would be a pretty safe bet since they are the weapons least likely to ever be used and thus least likely to be found out.
DharkStare@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Donald Trump is putting mass deportations at the heart of his campaign. Some Republicans are worriedEnglish127·1 year agoReminds me of the Trump supporter that was surprised when her undocumented husband got deported.
DharkStare@lemmy.worldto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Kate Mulgrew told Rick Berman she wanted a gay character on the Voyager bridgeEnglish1·1 year agoWhat’s funny is the “blonde bombshell in a catsuit” turned out to be one of the best characters on the show.
I didn’t realize you could put the steam deck to sleep with a game still running. I had assumed it would cause game issues.
It’s crazy how big the political divide has gotten that I wish Democrats were as “bad” as Republican fear mongering portrays them.
