i know, i know, i should have a vpn by now. but i really can't justify it, even the cheaper ones. but gog-games.to only carries windows installers (usually it's not too bad to get them working on proton but there is a few cases where i just can't get them to run at all). do you lovely people at /c/piracy know of any places? thank you for reading!

i tried to get kde plasma on my fedora, when i booted it up there was just a black screen. i couldn't type any commands either, it was toast

thankfully i've got windows dual booted because i'm a filthy who uses it for vr games. unfortunately windows doesn't let me see my linux drive's files so all of my personal files are unrecoverable.

thankfully i think the most i had on my computer was my music (yt-dlp is so easy i can get it all back in 30 minutes tops) and a few files from some project i was working on, sucks but not worth spending hours troubleshooting. oh well.

on the bright side, i'm RETVRN-ing to my old reliable, linux mint with xfce. i'll miss hot corner and the other niceties that gnome has but xfce will be a bit more comfortable for me.

For those of you who don't care, I promise this is the last post about this. All further discussion can be relegated to the matrix space.

Matrix Space: https://matrix.to/#/!tyfTFjggYNboCPZPKo:envs.net?via=envs.net

The main base isn't anything special, at least for now, but it's enough to protect from the main planet's frequent boiling storms. If any comrades need to be picked up, you can use the S.O.S. channel in the matrix space. All four stars are yellow, so no special hyperdrives are required to traverse the whole federation.

Feel free to join us! No other planets except the main one in System Alpha have been discovered, so feel free to name them how you wish, and build small outposts, huge bases, or anything in between! I can't wait to meet all of you in our marxist-leninist space commune!

edit: thank you for the pin!

What is the Hexbear Federation of Star Systems?

The HFSS is a group of four star systems in the Euclid Galaxy that is a place for all Hexbears to build bases, farms, and many other glorious creations in a collaborative effort to build a bustling community in the cold vastness of space. While it is not finished yet, when it is complete it will consist only of 1 major shared base among the members, with the rest of the planets being untouched and ready to be explored, conquered, and cultivated by the Hexbears of the galaxy!

Are there any rules?

In No Man's Sky, players are allowed to set their own boundaries for what is and isn't acceptable, (e.g. dictating who can edit parts in your bases, etc) so the only rule we need to worry about is just to be nice to your comrades!

How do I join?

Shoot me a DM on Hexbear, and include your matrix username. I'll invite you to the matrix space.When it's ready I will send portal coordinates to the matrix space. If you don't have all the glyphs unlocked, you can arrange for me or another hexbear to pick you up.

I'm really excited to see how this community turns out, even if only a few comrades end up participating. If you don't have No Man's Sky I'd recommend it, despite it being pricey (I think it's on GOG so you may be able to pick up an installer and still play multiplayer). Thank you for reading, and I look forward to meeting you guys in game!

P.S. : I am open to name suggestions as well. I suck ass at naming things.

Lemmygrad comrades are welcome too, of course. If you have ideas for a name that includes y'all as well, feel free to let me know.

Finally back on a gnome distro that supports GRUB2, and loving it so far. The exception being that every time something moves, there is a weird line in the middle of my monitor that almost "splits" the screen in half, like it's off by a pixel or something. this isn't really present in static images though. it's pretty infuriating. when trying to record an example to share with you guys, i noticed it for whatever reason just doesn't even happen while recording my screen with GPUScreenRecorder. Does anyone have any ideas on what this could be?btw, this didn't happen on mint when i was using that distro. Thank you!

going from linux mint to fedora because i really miss gnome, and i would like to keep my data and games from lutris. 99% of my games are just gog installers running from wine and preinstalled steamunlocked games, so i doubt it'd be too hard to get it all back but to save some time i'd really rather do this. i can't find shit on google or youtube since SEO and Ai garbage has just flooded everything, and looking for anything via youtube search is just a futile mission. does anyone know how to do this process? thanks in advance, everyone have a great day!

I've heard great things about them but I'm not too willing to part with 50 euros over them. Are lessons ever put on PDFs or videos, or is there a way to keep them fully interactive? Any resource would greatly help. Thank you all!

title. i looked at all the steps and just kinda stared at my screen in confusion.

if I went to a library or something, and torrent a file, nobody would be able to tell who it was as its a public place and the library couldn't be held accountable. thoughts?

I have one drive, 1tb with Pop_OS, and another, 500 on to which i want to install windows. (I know, I dont like it either but I want to play VR games via link cable cause ALVR is really mid) So, I put the ISO on a drive with ventoy, booted it up, got it all going. started to install windows on the empty drive. So, after the five steps it kicks me out of the installer and now, I can't acess the second drive. Even through moving the boot order on BIOS, it always loads me into pop os. The only time it ever didn't do this is one time where it seemingly randomly gave me boot options, two of which were Pop_OS and one was "windows boot manager", which when selected turned off my computer and promptly i booted right back into Pop_OS. Can anyone provide some advice? TIA.

Preferably a dongle, but Bluetooth is ok as well. what wireless headphones do you use? thanks for all suggestions!!!

edit: because i wasn't very descriptive, i will append this: i don't really care about the quality too much, i want to spend ~80 usd or so, but that's flexible within 10 dollars or so. i would prefer a headset that has a USB dongle, like a wireless mouse. i don't really need a microphone in it, but i wouldn't really conplain if there was one.
