uh, does that ... like mean to shit and jizz? if so, share your ways to achieve ultimate release~
I think it means he'll shit out all the jizz in his ass
Well what else is one supposed to do with it?
Portion it out into tiny jars and sell it like e-girl bathwater, duh.
XD Maybe ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Anyone tried FreeBSD? Linux is starting to lose that hipster allure.
the real l33t h4x0rz use TempleOS
It's what my router runs.
I have used Freebsd for sometime on my desktop back in 2021. For the most part I had a good experience except that I couldn't figure out how to connect earphones/mic on the ports on my PC case. I had to plug it directly to my motherboard for Freebsd to detect them. I used an Nvidia card at that time and it also worked very nicely although it had much older drivers than Linux.
I ended up switching back to linux because of 2 reasons -
-
I have a few BTRFS drives that I use regularly and couldn't afford to buy some new ones for Freebsd at that time.
-
I couldn't play games using steam proton. I don't know the situation these days, but I'll surely check it out If it has improved since then.
You should give Freebsd a try, you might like it.

the year of the Linux desktop is now
And all it cost was having a store sell DRM software.
To be fair, as far as DRM is concerned Steam is pretty mild and game developers gotta eat.
They also sell non-DRM software. And most importantly they invest the money they make from selling those games into developing Linux so it's better for everyone, I'll take a corporation that uses my money to make things better for myself than one that sells "only" DRM free" games (when it's convenient, because GoG also sells DRMd games in case you didn't knew)

Guys I have a foolproof plan to reach 10%
spoiler
- Stop using GNOME as default DE
- Throw cash money at Wayland devs and hire an assassin to harass slap Nvidia's CEO
What's the problem with GNOME?
Gnome = bad is a common Linux community circlejerk.
People will tell you Linux is about personal choice, but the second you say cool, I'm using flatpaks/Gnome/Wayland/System-D/any other thing that people get upset about, those same people will lose their fucking minds over you having a choice different to theirs.
It's not so much a circlejerk as much as a knowledge that KDE plasma is the most approachable DE with the most polished first experience for the majority of new users
The reason it gets interpreted as Gnome bad is that both Plasma and Gnome both mainly target users who want something that just works out of the box and doesn't have a steep learning curve, however KDE have managed to keep up better with what new users want in recent years while Gnome has fallen into a semi-trap of doing what their current/older users want. That doesn't mean it's a bad distro, frankly it's great for their current users, however it does little for newer users who may not find it as intuitive as other DEs, therefore making it a worse default DE for "off-the-shelf" distros targeting new Linux users.
At the end of the day though, it is about personal choice, and nobody's saying i3 isn't better for powerusers or that LXDE doesn't run faster, but if you have the knowledge that you want to install one of those or the many other DEs available, then you can just find the iso/distro/package with that DE and install it rather than just clicking the all-in-one-guaranteed-to-work-lts download button on the distro's homepage
That and the Gnome devs carry a lot of anti-consumer opinions and practices in particular since Gnome 3. Must be something to do with the Microsoft influence from around that time.

I really don't understand why anyone feels the need to hate on a desktop environment. It's not like on windows or mac where it is what it is and you're stuck with it. If you don't like it, just shut up and switch to something else (unless you like your de overall but have some improvements in mind of course, no reason to shut up for that).

I love Libadwaita. It's so good I started to use it to develop general cross platform apps

Why? I've been happily gaming on gnome for over two years now
Because he wants it to be Windows and hasn't found Dash to Panel and Wintile yet.
Thank you about mentioning Wintile! I was wondering today if there is a way to do 2x2 tiling on gnome
Hah, no problem. I'm the author, so it was a bit of a plug ;)

Also 45 percent of that 2 is on steam deck.
I tried a few games on Linux and I spent more time looking for why one game wasn't saving my game and why another game wouldn't actually launch with no error messages then actually playing a game.
The only games thus far that I couldn't get to work were pirated. Id say 80%+ pirated work, and so far all legit games. Even weird launchers like FF14 (stock, not the 3rd party) and Guild Wars 2. And then of course Steam does most the work.
Everyone's mileage varies, obvs, plus there's different distros and games.
I've just recently gotten into this and installed steam through ubuntu's store. Could be why it thought subnautica was on Linux and let me download it. I uninstalled and installed through apt-get this time, hopefully that fixes that issue.
Having issue with the Steam snap isn't surprising, as even Valve recommends against using it. A few years ago flatpak Steam had similar issues that got fixed over time.
For now I hope you'll have more luck with the .deb!

Hmmm? You can run Subnautica on Linux through Steam, as you can run most games written for Windows.

BS. All of my games are legit and all them required tweaking to work.
Thats the game, once I got the game working, I'll just leave it and never open it again.
How long ago was this? I am basically not having any issues at all!
