Arch user here, pour-over coffee is freaking good: www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4irHNuIx4w

Cowbee,

Pour over is just a gateway drug to Espresso down the line, you either go for the simplified Aeropress or the complex espresso.

I run Debian as my daily driver on 10-year old hardware. This tracks.

Me and my 1st generation i7 running Debian feel attacked.

Gonna be honest the only older game I had trouble on windows with was Dragon Age Origins. No matter what I did, it crashed out every time

Dragon age is…. Old?

Origins was released in ‘09. So was windows 7.

Jolteon,

2009 was almost 15 years ago

You take that back

MNByChoice,

Just a blink of the eye…

tryptaminev,

It is closer to the release of the first Doom than it is to today.

@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Uhm. Doom was originally released in 1993. 30 years ago. Dragon age Origins was released in 2009. 14 years ago.

So…
Not quite. got a couple years before that’s true.

FWIW, the first game I beat was the OG legend of zelda. I was 7, it was my dad’s game and i wasn’t supposed to be playing it for some reason. I got caught when my dad was strugling on the puzzles in the water temple and I gave some helpful advice… (“We won’t tell mom about this. now where did you say I go?”)

the first PC game I got heavily into was Age of Empires, though, a lot of my friends played starcraft, and insisted it was better than AoE; so I played one game with them. (They were all so very patronizing… so I let them be patronizing and then turned my ally to hostile and carpet-nuked the entire map.) (yeah. I went back to AoE after that, lol.)

tryptaminev,

my bad. I had 1996 in my memory, but that was the first Quake.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

incidentally, I noticed that the doom comics were issued in '96 when I was double checking my facts. It’s maybe annoying that I’m old enough to remember sneaking a copy of it

I have seen multiple streamers have problems with it on Windows, but for me it works completely fine on Linux with PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1 (even mods work).

There is a large address aware (LAA) patch for windows too that fixed it for one streamer, but you have to download a patched executable.

blindbunny, in Damn...

Hey man I’m just a certless dummy that wants access to aur that installs on my computer. If y’all wanna trouble shoot why endeavor doesn’t work that’s on your time.

erev,
@erev@lemmy.world avatar

what was the error

blindbunny,

Haha it just wouldn’t boot from the flash drive. I think it has something to do with the motherboard drivers because Manjaro has a fancy ROG/Manjaro boot screen but I don’t actually expect anyone to fix it for me. My set up is very music production based and most everything works with Manjaro but even I know they have a reputation.Thanks for the question though.

I was having problems with the newer endeavour ISOs just not booting as well. Installed Ventoy on my flash drive and it works like a dream now. Also now I can have multiple ISOs on the same drive and choose which I want which makes it an amazing tool to just have in a backpack or whatever.

blindbunny,

Huh I’ve never heard of ventoy I might check that out, thanks for sharing.

Poll time! If you HAD to switch from Linux to BSD, which one are you choosing?

MigratingtoLemmy,

FreeBSD unless I’m doing something that’s need a fairly secure system, in which case OpenBSD disconnected from the Internet with my private mirror for security patches.

pewgar_seemsimandroid, (edited )

i am going to get a laptop with windows 11 to avoid that question for as ong as i can

palordrolap,

TL;DR Maybe FreeBSD?

Back in the day, I was very interested in (the now extinct) PC-BSD, but it really didn't like the unusual HDD setup I had (Third IDE channel maybe? The details are fuzzy now.)

Never got to the stage of trying gaming on it, but I think I might have been planning to dual boot?

Anyway, it must have been a while ago because that was my previous PC, which I donated to a relative the better part of a decade ago.

So, given that it was a FreeBSD, I guess that's what I'd be looking into, but I can't say I know enough right now.

tetraodon,

Another fzf’er

bhamlin, in what's your ubuntu?

My Ubuntu is Manjaro.

Isthisreddit, in Text editor war

Nedit - was a great simple editor i discovered on SGI IRIX, still use it today. Also, emacs is in a class of itself, it’s more OS than text editor 🤣

sandriver, in Text editor war

nano for editing config files, emacs if I’m writing code… kwrite or joplin if I need a scratch pad or to share notes between devices respectively

I thought Linux was long dead, so I installed piOS or whatever they call it rn on a spare computer and it seems to be working fine. It’s still alive guys.

Creatortray, in Text editor war

Where’s vscode? Lol

Buddahriffic,

There’s several GB of it sitting in my home directory, which unfortunately my admin limits to several GB, so now my vim search buffer doesn’t update anymore until I delete code’s cache again.

Smoogs, in Bye bye edge

There’s an app called “whatever”? Is it the new WhatsApp? Or an app about being indifferent?

AceFuzzLord, in Bye bye edge

As great as Linux can be, using windows without the bloat or spyware is fine by me. Hell, using it with all that is fine just so long as the end user is happy.

0x4E4F, in ubuntu a granel (bulk ubuntu)

No thank you… in bulk or as a single install.
