Play Siege. So Linux wins again.
Play Siege. So Linux wins again.
I know you’re on ubuntu, but installing programs depends on your distribution. Some programs are in your software library, some aren’t. But there will always be a way to get the program. For instance, I use Gentoo and Mullvad. The way I set it up is with Wireguard so I control it through the terminal, this is because Gentoo has no mullvad app. Otherwise, you can often add new libraries to your system. Again, on Gentoo Steam is not in my repository by default. So, I added the steam repository to my system so I could get it. For Mullvad, I’m pretty sure they offer a deb package, which Ubuntu can use. Otherwise, some other distributions offer a mullvad app in their repository by default. Try other distributions and see what clicks. A lot of linux is experimentation. I personally prefer doing a lot of things fairly manully, so I use Gentoo with essentially only a terminal for control. Linux Mint, Devian, Arch, Void, Nix, Gentoo; there’s tons of choices so there’s going to be something that you click with.
I use it, been using it for a while. Both my desktop and laptop run it. I like it a lot and find it really easy to use. Amytime I find an issue I can pretty quickly fix it and keep my system clean. Games run great, my music production software is great, it’s fast, and just overall very enjoyable to use.
I really wish they’d fix this issue already. I’ve never seen it persistent on any other website before.
I know that, but I still hate having to. Having that as a common issue is just dumb, to me.
The arch breaks were always related to keys. I would run an update and there would always be an error related to the keys. Never had a breakage due to confs.
It’s an one in all tool. I like that I can do almost everything through one program.
Debian, don’t like apt.
Arch, breaks too much.
NixOs, just don’t need the tools it provides.
Any fork of a mainline distro because it’s never as good as the root.
I used arch for a while, but got sick of running repairs every few weeks. I use Gentoo now, it’s stable and good. I have a fuck ton of ram and a good cpu, I also take advantage of binary packages from time to time. I don’t really need to install new things that much after having done the initial install.
It can be used for other stuff. I use dwm and find that on occasion some programs aren’t nice in dwm or don’t work well. So, i suggest having both a tiling and a floating.
I have a gentoo sweater. They have an official merch store, but it looked a bit rough. I, shamefully, got a made on demand sweater from Amazon with the gentoo logo on it. I did also donate the price of the sweater straight to gentoo though as well. I donate to them from time to time.
I got into Amigo The Devil almost a decade ago in highschool. I used The Weight in my senior project presentation when it was a recent single.

Deus Ex
Mortal Sin
I like Calyx and Gentoo. They’ve been nice to me.
Whatever you know best. My personal choice of distro is Gentoo, my gaming pc and my carry laptop both run it. My games run great in gentoo, and because I understand it best, I deal with few issues. For a long time it was Arch, and before that Ubuntu. I used Ubuntu for only maybe 2 months before moving onto Arch then Gentoo. My games always worked, but once I really understood Linux, they ran great.
I agree with the other guy, the T440P is great. My top 3 are the T400, T440P, and T480.
T400 - great keyboard and form factor, but heavy
440P - LOTS of ports, easily fixable, last one with replaceable cpu
T480 - very lightweight and thin, good modern cpu, usb c fast charging.
Pretty much any thinkpad is a good go. Age doesn’t really matter either. I’ve got a T23 from 2001 that’s running fresh and good. I’d say maybe 2012 is as far back as you might want to go for regular use though.
I did a 360 and walked out the theater.
I always forget chromeos is based on gentoo.
Hulu? I use ublock on hulu and have no issues.
Gentoo gaming and music production rig working through mostly tty with dwm as a graphical display. I typically stay on tty until I want to play a game, use modern web, or record a song. Otherwise tty with Links browser.
