right clicking on anything takes closer to a second on our school machines… on 10th gen i7…

correct me if I’m wrong, but the performance issues in the new AMD chips were microsofts fault and they work fine on linux.

i use banana cursor because bananas are healthy

finally some new visuals. mint cinnamon is always advertised as beautiful looking, but it’s absolutely not. i love cinnamon, but the default themes look depressing.

both support linux perfectly. apparently old CPUs get cheaper in most countries, not here though. ryzen 7 prices even went up since 9 came out.

at my last job during every break my fb-addict coworker would always get ads on facebook on her iphone that were exactly about what we were discussing a few minutes earlier. became very clear there was some eavesdropping going on.

why would one get an old intel instead of amd?

yes, every damn website. changing server to another country may help. i noticed ireland is pretty immune to this but that server is down quite often.

i don’t use brave but i tried it once when i learned that it’s open source. google was not the default search and telemetry was off by default. also i don’t think it auto updates on linux because updates are handled by system updater.

i always found gnome somehow irritating to use, like the tray area popping up all of the system controls when i just want to change the sound device. or little stuff like trying to paste a file into a folder that is too full to scroll past the bottom. i can’t r-click to the background, can’t adjust the columns to get empty space on the side. i need to use the menu. or pause fiddling with my noodle and ctrl+v…

i wish i knew about graphene when i got a pixel 6 pro. i got rid of it only after a year because it was such a buggy POS.

i don’t want anyone i work with to be able to find out what kind of porn i’m into

does gnome not have audio output switcher in the tray audio popup menu thingy?

timeshift. then skip that update.

proton: in steam settings go to compatibility and check steam play. wine: download the installer, then depending on your desktop environment either double click it and install as you would on windows, or right click the background in the folder the example.exe is at, open terminal here, type: wine example.exe and follow the installer.

i never even liked w10 and then i got to experience w11 on our school machines, and realized i can’t go that way. saw so many people praising linux here so i split my ssd and tried to install linux on the other partition. fukked up and formatted the whole damn ssd, so i became a linux only user. soon i accidentally removed nvidia drivers so i went back to windows. not a month later i noticed my school logo on the start menu and they also seemed to control some windows settings, i freaked out and went back to linux. been like 1½ years now.

i use an lg oled tv as monitor too and was planning to get an amd gpu. i looked at these adapters, only a couple different ones available where i live but they had horrible reviews. what brand is yours?

if you need hdmi 2.1, nvidia. if not, amd.

look up ladybird. we may soon have a 3rd browser!

i have the main edition, didn’t know they are different to upgrade. thought i have missed something, but now i see on their website it shows there is no upgrade path yet.
