Kolanaki, in Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?

The inability to play most games.

The first time I used Linux, I couldn’t get it to work with my NIC so I couldn’t play Counter-Strike. Big nope.

The second time, it wouldn’t work with my GPU properly so anything that used 3D graphics either didn’t run at all, or gave single digit frame rates.

The last time I tried, Wine just wouldn’t work with anything or would constantly crash.

Until Linux is just super easy, plug’n’play, “it just works” like Windows, it will never become my daily use OS. The only thing I would run Linux on currently are purpose specific machines using a raspberry pi or similar computer, a server, or my phone.

Now that Steam is all in on the Steam Deck and SteamOS there is much better support for games on Linux. See ProtonDB.

Also, the Linux distro Pop!_OS has worked quite well for me for games. I use the NVIDIA version which bundles NVIDIA’s propietary library blobs which also helps with the game compatibility.

But all in all I agree with you that even with all of this it is not as smooth as just click and play on Windows. 🙂 Plus some games just don’t work on Linux at all so there’s that. Lol.

200cc,

It's most games that are unable to run on linux, not the other way around

eggshappedegg, in Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?

I kept spending insane amounts of time trying to make simple things work, that should work without me having to make them do so.

200cc,

Such as? Most of things work on linux too

zdrvr, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

Hot Rod. I have seen it at least 25 times…Cool Beans

What defines Detroit style?

Dough cooked with motor oil.

Sounds a bit greasy

EyesEyesBaby,

As per the first hit on Google:

Detroit-style pizza is a rectangular pan pizza with a thick, crisp, chewy crust. It is traditionally topped to the edges with Wisconsin brick cheese, which caramelizes against the high-sided heavyweight rectangular pan.

Thanks. As a brit I've never seen that in the wild, but might have seen a picture on the Internet I guess

Gaming

200cc,

There's plenty of games that are native to linux not made by companies trying to empty your wallet. https://libregamewiki.org/Main_Page

BaroqueInMind, in How do I block all porn/nude posts?

OP, not only are you a sexist moron, but you have proven to also be a humble idiot aware of his mistakes.

I have no issues seeing porn on here because I don't have the maturity of a child like you do, and I hope one day you will grow up and not allow a harmless nipple to set you off.

doyadig,

you are right. and I’m working on it. I should have rephrased this a lot better.

wholemilk, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I don’t. I thought I would miss it a lot, but after replacing rif with lemmy and a few other apps I haven’t really been thinking about reddit recently.

notasandwich1948, in Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?

games just don’t run as smooth and I can’t use gsync with how xorg works, also everything on windows just seems to work unlike Linux. although I’ve been running a Linux server for almost a year for myself and I’m now quite comfortable with the terminal

200cc,

99% of the games that don't run as smooth on linux are games made for money by companies who think you are stupid and a junkie.

cyberdecker, in Have you ever had Detroit-style pizza?

I love Detroit style pizza!

For others asking: Detroit style is kind of like Sicilian pizza. Pan baked, rectangular, yeast crust, thick, chewy, crispy on the edges. Bottom layer is cheese. Then toppings and sauce that is usually a stripe of sauce.

The texture reminds me of old school Pizza Hut pan pizza. Thick, airy, oily, and my favorite part is the little crispy craggy bits on the top edge of the crust.

In Maryland we have a couple really great Detroit pizza joints. Underground Pizza in Baltimore is my favorite and quite good, but pretty pricey. Rad Pies is a little more remote but is quite good as well.

Madusch, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

Until yesterday, Joey for Reddit still worked, but since today it doesn’t anymore. I miss r/BestOfRedditorUpdates, so I’ll probably use it just for that sub.

akippnn, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I want to stop using Reddit, but every Google search I make that’s tech-related has an answer on either StackOverflow or Reddit. Even if most people move to Lemmy, Reddit would probably come up once in a while when I’m looking for answers to a problem only a few people would care about.

daddyrat, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

Moonstruck. It’s like watching a home movie of our family reunion.

I’ll say no more…

Ciari, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

Oh man, I’m going to get made fun of for this, but… The Barbie movies. Especially The 12 Dancing Princresses. My sister and I watched it so many times as kids that we could quote the entire thing (we often did so while watching it lmao). Honestly just off the top of my head now I probably could quote a good 80-90 percent of it. We must have watched it more than a hundred times, not even exaggerating.

stokholm, in How do you cheer yourself up after a rough day? Or a rough year?

I walk. Short or long walks. Whatever I have time for. Even if I don’t really feel like walking. I find I almost never regret the decision to go. And I almost always return in a better mental state.

Sometimes when I need an answer I use wayback machine to read reddit. Don’t want to give reddit my engagement and have their cookies in my browser.
