Honestly excellent advice

When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs
Every morning to help me get large
And now that I’m grown I eat five dozen eggs
So I’m roughly the size of a barge

SIEMENS is honestly a piece of shit. So is Broadcom though. But man. Siemens are real pricks.

Aww!!! Just like me, she’s closing her little eyes tight. When she opens them up, she’s hoping to see nuts!

I could potentially build a system with 2 GPU. That would be amazing. Isn’t there like a hypervisor OS, where I could just run whatever whenever and attach whatever hardware to whichever? Then jump into that machine and use it ‘natively’? Or am I dreaming/overcomplicating? 😆

Also to be fair, I’m not ‘new’ to Linux. I feel comfortable enough there to get by. It’s more when I dig into drivers and what softwares/tools to use, everyone argues about which is better and it’s hard to sometimes know just what works.

Thinking of Switching to Linux for Gaming — But Have Some Concerns

I’ve been a lifelong Windows user—mostly because of gaming compatibility and its dominance in enterprise environments. But lately, I’ve been tempted to switch to Linux full-time. I already like Debian and use it occasionally, but Windows has always been my main rig.

If I were to actually switch to Linux for gaming, what distro would you recommend? • I don’t want something too “kid-friendly” or overly simplified (like Zorin or Ubuntu with heavy theming). • At the same time, Arch feels like too much—I want some control and tweakability, but not a full-time job maintaining my system. • I have an RTX 2070 Super, so I’d really prefer a distro that won’t make me fight with drivers or GPU support constantly. • I’ve heard about Proton and Pop!_OS—are those still good options in 2025?

One sticking point: Photoshop.

I actually use and pay for Adobe software (not just for fun), so Wine and alternatives like GIMP don’t really cut it. I’ve even considered switching to macOS instead, just to have Unix-like tools and full Adobe support… but then I lose a big chunk of gaming compatibility.

So yeah… I’m stuck. I want a distro that makes gaming easy-ish, still lets me tweak and feel like I’m on a “real” Linux system, and won’t leave me stranded when I need to run Adobe stuff.

Any recommendations or thoughts?

I’ve been using Plex many years. I abandoned it about 1-2 years ago when they began their enshittification journey. Now I see they are continuing to double down on being assholes.

They do not need any more resources to allow people to use what already exists. Most people run their own servers, and, they track all that by the way. Hence why people moved away from it.

Don’t give them your money. Let them rot. They fucked their user base who built them.

Every day hearing stuff about Trump is eating away at me. I remember four years ago. Depression settled in. I’m afraid for the next four years of this. It’s only been like 5 weeks.

I just dumped pcloud. Also a surprising increase in fake pcloud emails trying desperately for me to click them. My email provider flags them over real pcloud ones. Still. Someone is spamming the shit out of me for that. I’d say pcloud isn’t worth sticking with.

Edit: For clarity, I never trusted them. Anything I had there was protected with 2FA login and also I used Cryptomator. Still, I am not keeping anything there any longer.

Wow, way to try staying relevant I guess? They had a huge following and the porn was flowing during the good times. They blew their chance and now it’s a shell of itself. Fuck Tumblr.

They’ve saved a lot of money on floor space. A LOT of money.

No, that’s the stupidest shit. Why should you take a cut in pay?? What warped mind fuck world are you living where you think you have to give up a fifth of your wages for this right??

But the inconvenience of all that shit sounds horrible and unnecessary and expensive too. Fuck commuting in traffic spewing CO2 to line some asshole’s pocket who doesn’t want me to have a normal standard of living.

Really? I felt I should be paid more since I’m not getting electricity, coffees, internet, heat, subsidized by my job for the increased usage.

“Hahaha! And THEN we tested it and blamed it on a bug! Those poor fucking morons have no idea how little control they have.” 🤣🤣

The Death report for Kurt Cobain. Mostly from morbid curiosity and a love for Nirvana. I don’t do that for everyone or anything like that. That’s the weirdest one. 😅

Same with medication. Different drugs. Different doses. Different biome in each body. Each brain is different.

I think I’ve tried roughly 7. For periods of time. Sometimes shorter due to side effects. I now take one that works for me. It’s not perfect but it’s best so far I suppose. Took me a long time to figure that out. So please don’t give up on medications. Find one that works for you. Not just numbs you of everything.

So it’s a bullshit article and Apple plans to use 2NM in the future and this is simply too early?
