I’ve been using Linux for more than a decade. Modern Linux is quite easy to start, compared to the old stereotype.
I highly recommend an easy way: for the daily softwares you use, you try to replace them with cross-platform ones, like libreoffice, thunderbird… when you want to try Linux someday, the migration path could be more smooth than you expected
Personally, my favourite site is liberapay.
They're very transparent about the transaction fees, and they're providing suggestions to reduce the cost (once per year instead of once per month)
According to their website https://en.liberapay.com/about/
Liberapay is a non-profit organization founded in 2015 in France by Changaco and Zatalyz.
On the other hand, liberapay is focus on donations, and they don't have the fancy socialization tools at buy me a coffee
Wallet not safe. Filling up my shopping list now
I'm using Mlem since its testflight.
For now, I'm quite satisfied with the app store version
Good question. I found a comparison video by GamerInVoid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VODSVVkKRD4
According to their video, I think Ratchet and Clank is still playable on a PC with SATA SSD, but the waiting time when jumping between the worlds is definitely longer than NVMe
I think it's a chicken-or-egg dilemma for PC gaming. Game devs don't want to lose the big market of legacy hardwares, so core gamers can't maximize their top notch PC's potentials.
I’m sorry that I don’t understand it.
By default, all windows/mac/linux laptops will ask users to set up a password for log-in. This is not sufficient, but much better than password-less unlock
I have a steam deck an I love it, but I don't think using it as a laptop is a good idea. Unlocking a steam deck doesn't need a password (by default), just like Switch, GameBoy or PS Portable. If steam deck is lost, sensitive personal data can be accessed easily. Besides, I'd expect a higher risk of losing a steam deck, as I'd been playing it on various places like metro or train stations.
If you never take your steam deck out of your home, then it sounds sensible to use SD as a laptop
Sorry to hear it. I'm a casual player and the Linux performance worked well for me. If playing CS competitively, the little difference in performance is crucial.
Not sure what kind of multi player game you prefer. Dota 2 and CS have perfect Linux support and it may worth a try
As a long time linux user, I'm happy to see that linux news are being posted in non-tech communities more frequently.
Windows might be the most famous (notorious) vendor-lock in, but migrating from Windows to Linux is more smooth than the stereotype
