Well I wouldn’t have switched if Microsoft didn’t suck… so yeah. If I had nothing to complain about, I would have just stayed on Windows.

I’ve had Linux Mint running on my ThinkPad T430 for a while now and haven’t encountered a single issue. Some distros have awful quality control with their updates (ubuntu) which can cause the issues you’ve encountered. Going with a stable distro is key for a good experience.

Marvel Rivals has a gold rating on ProtonDB (meaning it works usually without tinkering).

If you’re concerned about drivers, use Bazzite as your distro. It manages drivers automatically and comes preinstalled with support for pretty much anything on Steam. In addition to being a highly polished distro with strong gamer presentation.

Mint is great! I use it for my laptop. Lightweight and responsive, perfect for utility. But for my desktop Bazzite is king 😎

I think my biggest problem with these tests (not the idea of UBI) is that they go entirely based on what the recipients say. There’s not really any indication that fact checking is done to confirm they actually are living somewhere now, or they did get their cars fixed, etc.

I’m confident that the money helped, because obviously it would, but I wish we could get some actual solid data on how much it helped. The cynic in me believes that desperate people getting 1000$/mo will embellish how much it helps in order to keep getting the money, when in reality they need 1500$ or 2000$ to afford housing in Denver.

Transparency and layers is hardly a power user feature. Any common person wanting to make a meme worth half a chuckle will need both of those features. MS paint always starts up super fast compared to PS or GIMP so I’m looking forward to these features for fast meme creation.

I’m a dev and I hate Win11. I could list dozens of reasons why, but one that pisses me off daily is that they removed keyboard shortcuts from task manager for no goddamn reason. Alt+E is the shortcut to end process on every other Windows OS except Win11 because it was made with malicious incompetence.

Shit I’ll take expansions over battle passes and what passes for “seasonal content” these days.

We had an air fryer, loved the food but it was SO difficult to clean. The sides would shred our sponges. Eventually we stopped using It because timed save from cooking was lost twice over from cleaning it. And then it was recalled anyways

All of these options are unreasonable when you are talking a whole household and catering to a family that is not tech savvy. I have a pihole and it does not block ads from the YouTube TV app.

I have a plex going with content enough for the adults, but the kids consume so much media there is no reasonable way to get enough and fast enough and to meet their current interests. Youtube is the only streaming subscription we have left in the house because nothing even comes close for kids. Even Disney+ completely fumbles when it comes to appealing to what used to be its target market.

I think you are confused with the Battlefield games, which have been horribly broken at launch every single time since 1942. The CoD games are creatively bankrupt and plagued with micro transactions, but they are usually functional.

The most unbelievable thing about the entire episode is that the lawyers believed the 100 page term and conditions would hold up in court.

I would like to, but the fact is lemmy is 99% shitposts and memes. Don’t get me wrong, I like that stuff but I also need to know wtf is going on in the world. Since losing rif and refusing to use the official app, I am now basically getting news when my wife sees it on Facebook, which means it’s old news by then.

I clicked the link and was assaulted by dozens of ads and no video. Wtf is that cancer site

This is only a viable strategy as long as the electoral college exists.
