Yup. I’m Bo7a.

And motorcycles!
Shameless plug for the triumph bobber forum and triumphrat if you are into those bikes.
Do you know the meme with the knucklehead on the left at the bottom of the bell-curve, the smashed brain moron at the top, and the sage at the right?
With this comment you are very close to coming off as the smashed brain moron at the top of the curve.
Everyone has preferences, but your preferences do not map to you being superior in any way. And just as importantly - you are also a beginner to some people. It would serve you well to remember that.

Hey me. Nice to see me out in the wild.
I chucked most of my computer stuff, but kept a laptop for work, and a somewhat aging desktop to game on rainy nights, and moved to a piece of forest far from others.
When we first got out here there wasn’t even enough space to park our truck. I cleared enough Forest to park our travel trailer and live in while we built a tiny 12 ftx30 ft house.
Now I spend my mornings feeding birds and doing minimal tending on a very wild (by design) garden.
Strongly suggest others who can do so to give it a try.
Especially people who are in any type of job where systems, thinking and infrastructure was part of your daily thought process.
Life out here is very hard at first as we set up the infrastructure but everyday it gets a little bit easier and eventually the workload should be smaller here than it is at a normal job. That’s when I’ll quit my normal job.
Whoa! thanks for sharing your experience. Your work was definitely appreciated. 25 years later, mainly due to that silly need to play pirated cartoons for the kiddos, and a CD rom I pulled out of the trash - I am a sysadmin who wears an architect title, and I have built some amazing systems. Maybe if Caldera hadn’t been what it was I wouldn’t have been interested enough to make it work, and to realize a love for unixlike systems. So yeah. Thanks :)
Caldera linux 1.2.
Those days were magical.
I had just started my university days and I had two young kids who wanted to watch cartoons but we couldn’t afford cable. I ended up scrounging parts from the garbage bins in and behind the computer lab to scrape together a workable desktop.
If I recall correctly it was 333 MHz. Originally installed Windows 98 SE on it. But media would stutter no matter what I did, even if all other processes were killed.
A monk friend of mine (my university was geographically attached to a Benedictine monastery) asked me if I had tried Linux as it should be easier on the system resources and still allow me to play most media.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Still worth a shot to mention.
Proton just doesn’t seem to like any data on an NTFS partition, but the error message is ugly and buried so I mentioned it in all of these types of posts.
My usual ‘shot in the dark’ when someone mentions windows versions: Is the game data on a shared NTFS partition? If so, move it to a native linux FS like ext4 and try again.
Shot in the dark - Is there any chance the game data is on a shared NTFS partition? The start > blackscreen > dead pattern often happens if you happen to be accessing the game data from an NTFS partition, but that part of the error message is super deep and not really obvious.
This kind of bullshit generalization leads me to believe this conversation wouldn’t go very far. I’ll stop here. Cheers.
I would argue they are. My reasoning for this argument would be pointing at the history of the working class.
What is your reasoning for saying they are not?
Roughly the same here. And yeah this hasn’t been a problem since the very first years. And even then it was just some config tweaks.
I don’t get this. It is a common statement on lemmy especially among the new users. I have been daily-driving linux for many many years, and every install of a new distro gets 3 or 4 DEs added to play around with and find the ‘flavour of the year’ for myself.
I don’t recall this ever being a real problem. Ever.
We live in a small (12ftx28ft) house where we heat with a wood stove and have pets so our dust factor is pretty high.
I use 10x10 merv13 filters and a modified bathroom exhaust fan that sits in my rafters. It completely changed our air quality. I change the filters when they get gunked up every 10-14 days which may be a bit expensive at ~8 bucks each filter, but it is worth it for the clear nose and sinuses!
You can. That is how I use it.
Have you been paying attention to the news coming out of texas? I’m guessing not.
popos tiling works this way as well.
