Hey guys I got a wifi69 card, does anyone know how to make it work? NVM I fixed it.

Oh that's just a fruit salesman. I hear he has a good deal on pears.

Keep this up and we might even get to see America starting a state-run car company. This'll be great to watch. 🍿

I remember when compact was hidden - apparently this was a change driven by telemetry. It was possible that there's an overlap between those who use compact and those who turned off telemetry. I wouldn't be surprised if something similar also occurs with Pocket being left on too.

If compact breaks in a future update, it'll probably be removed altogether. At that point, best option would be userchrome customisation.

IIRC, this change was made ahead of the impending UI overhaul. This combined with the Windows 11 getting bigger touch-friendly UI elements understandably didn't sit well with many people.

Not really. Most recommend Framework because their laptops are open to the point where third parties can make random peripherals that fit the expansion ports. They have a page to help with choosing a distro for their hardware as well. It's great to see this level of open-ness and repairability in a laptop. Naturally, Linux users gravitate to such a brand.

System76 leverage their own distro, Pop!_OS as a selling point for their laptops, as they have some degree of control over the hardware and software.

The other maker I'd recommend is Tuxedo Computers who also maintain their own distro for hardware they sell.

Even though it's typically associated with KDE and Linux, it's also available on Windows. Good for people who haven't made up their mind yet. It's a great text editor with a feature-set similar to other advanced notepads.

I'll be real though, if I hadn't jumped ship 3 years ago, I'd be cutting my losses with Windows here.

Yup that's perfection for me. Next thing I know, it's 4AM the birds outside having an argument, me wondering what happened to the last 8 hours LOL.

As a redirect to a list of Fediverse instances? That'd be funny AF. As a locked solo instance? Sure, for the lolz. As a real deal instance for a community? Not a chance... Basing a community on hating a guy is sure to attract more hate, and moderating that just sounds complicated.

Will they be piloting this one with a controller as well?

Not a SD user, but a desktop gamer who found your post. I wouldn't be surprised to see people on the fediverse say they often play games outside of Steam.

The non-techy people I know treat the thing like a console and refuse to use desktop mode for games. That's the catch of the Steam Deck. It runs Linux underneath, but most people never (want to) interact with it. I love it for what it does for Linux gaming but there's more to PC gaming than just Steam - Although I'm aware that Steam probably underprices these with hopes to recoup the loss back on Steam purchases.

(Also your method isn't really hacky, that's just kind of how binary executables work in Linux, plus the steps to add it to Steam)

TBH I don't really mind a change in gameplay for FF7 or FF16. I don't mind alternative story direction or action combat. But I'm not a purist and my favourite was FF12 so I guess purists consider my opinion invalid... LOL

FF7R being divided up into multiple releases and sold individually has caused me to just wait it out and buy later. Surely I'm not the only one. I'm also a PC gamer, so sometimes I can't buy even if I wanted to and it just slips from my mind. Oh well.

Frutiger Aero ❤️! But like the article said, there's also a lot of reasons not to use it.

I'm using a semi-rolling distro with KDE right now. I think that's the way.

I miss Vista. There's nothing out there that replicates that feeling of booting it for the first time. Especially after years of XP... I got lucky though, I didn't get on board until after SP1 had released so it wasn't too bad and my laptop was above recommended spec for Home Premium.

Looking at SteamDB, it looks like it checks VC2015 is installed. So you'll want to check if your bottle has at least one of: vcrun2015, vcrun2017, vcrun2019 or vcrun2022. It's pretty likely that's a required dependancy.

It also installs "DirectX Jun 2010 Redist" which installs or updates a bunch of libraries, I think most if not all of these can be installed to your bottle too. I don't know which are required but it's a place to start.

Who needs a monitor when it's all AI powered anyway? Just ask your AI, it'll handle everything for you!

Embrace minimalism!

Honestly, neither. Got a good local takeaway about 5 minutes on foot, don't even need to drive. Bit cheaper and I get to eat in the comfort of my own home.

If not that, then I'd rather go to a supermarket and pay up for one of the nice pizzas.

31M, I don't regret getting mine out at all. My case was impacted molar. 2 months after removal and I feel so much better.

Solus. It was this or opensuse tumbleweed but I got cold feet with tumbleweed. I wanted away from a release schedule because I got frustrated with Ubuntu. So now I get weekly updates, and I'm happy with that. I'm currently on Plasma 6.3.3 and life is good.
