  • Sure, I’ll try OpenSUSE!

    Tumbleweed is a bit of a spooky name for a distro implying that a gentle breeze sends it, but y’know

    Linux Mint as someone suggested, I’ve ran a long time ago for college on an ancient laptop, and it’s an extreme stable OS, similar to Windows 2000 Pro. I can’t remember it crashing or freezing even once on me, and the Thinkpad T42 has an anemic processor., which I ran with the Conservative Governor


  • I’m actually a little scared of running Linux on modern, fast hardware.

    How is multi-GPU driver support?

    My main machine is a 900 TFlops compute monster (4 GPUs) running ROCM on Windows, and the last time I’d tried Manjaro on Desktop, it seized up for unknown reasons.

    I’ve got asynchronous monitors - 1440p@165Hz main display and 4K@85Hz flipped vertical for a side monitor. Occasionally, I plug in a projector which is 1080p, mirrored to the 4K, but flipped horizontal.

    I’m not sure what I’d done wrong because it works perfectly on my 11 year old Z575 (Debian+KDE there).

    What distro would you recommend for an extremely fast/high RAM machine? I’ve got 128GB of main system memory, and 4TB of M.2 for a system disk running at 7.6 gigabytes/second actual/real-world RW I/O.


  • I’m somewhat partial to the Telvanni Mushroom kingdom (the idea of, hey, here’s an acorn, go GROW your house) but Balmora has always held a special piece in my heart for being the first “big city” I’ve felt in a video game.

    The transition to the Ashland and seeing a different biome entirely / grasslands / plains was also pretty incredible.

    Ald’ruhn’s Capitol was also novel in design with the redundant rope bridges built on the inside of the shell of a gigantic upturned horseshoe crab.

    Vivec’s cool but it’s only possible because of a demi-god’s literal meddling around with the terrain, and it’s too easy to get lost.

    Caldera’s also nice, as well as Pelagiad.

    I know I just named like ten places but Morrowind’s got a lot of diversity and biomes.

    Well this explains why GNOME is so hard to use. It was designed explicitly by foot fetishists, so it’s easy to use with your feet. That’s why the taskbar is at the top of the screen instead of the bottom. Your feet would cover it when they’re on the laptop keyboard otherwise.

    I got lucky, I bought a pair of Focal Elears on sale for like $800 and they’re so good I quit my search.

    Legitimately everything just sounds amazing, well, transparent. I forget I’m wearing them and it sounds like stuff is just in the room or whatever. That’s good enough for me.





  • I’ve had a real one from a Turkish place called Gülloglö, which no longer exists, and it was incredible. It was like a block of rose water, covered in powdered sugar, and biting into it was a floral, sugary, explosion, especially combined with their harsh, dark, Turkish tea – unbelievable.

    I loved that place, and no idea how they went under.

    I tried Arch once and they use Pacman for everything.

    It’s like Pacman -sY to install. Makes no sense.

    At least the AUR is cool.

    One day, Linux will have a nice, unified, polished application portal (not store because god forbid we see a LINUX APP STORE).

    For everything else there’s git.

    Git clone Make Pacman -sY lethal company Sudo chmod +x ./home/user/games/lethal_company.x86_64

    “Hold on guys I swear it works, Linux is just better, hold on”

    AUR Proton_EasyAntiCheatHooks Man -k Nvidia-Propietary ./etc/Xserver.conf --display one --mode C1B3 --vsync off Sudo reboot -now
