  • Funny, because I had the opposite problem with my laptop… Bazzite couldn’t seem to keep the nvidia gpu happy and working so I switched to Garuda and it hasn’t had a problem gaming since.

    I love Linux, but hate the user-to-user inconsistency - it really makes answering the #1 question “which distro should I use” basically impossible to answer. Go download all of them that sound interesting and put them on flash drives and try them out in live environment - narrow down to the ones you like the look of the most, and then install them and try it out and see if you can do what you need or not. It’s not a difficult process but it is a process and there is no simple answer.



  • Sorta same, but my problems expand beyond just Mint… I had a lot of problems with Ubuntu several years back, so I was convinced to switch to Manjaro. That was an absolutely unabashed fucking nightmare. I thought I was either cursed or just too stupid for Linux for a while. I still don’t know if I just got very unlucky or if I was/am too stupid for the distros that everyone shouts praises from the rooftops for… I stumbled into Garuda Linux and it has been a dream come true.






  • Shit I miss Ventrilo… Setting up custom binds so I could talk shit about the raid leader directly to the other warlock in the group just by pressing a different “talk” button was amazing. And I can still here the push-to-talk notification sounds… When the guild moved to Discord, I died a little inside and didn’t even know it yet. Yea, we have a meme channel now, but at what cost??





  • Like, it’s obviously not better for you than just breathing air. But it is also by all evidence better than smoking. But there has been a massive PR push to making vaping the absolute devil and just not mentioning smoking at all. It is anecdotal at best, but I can say that giving up cigarettes for a vape has made my breathing feel significantly better day-to-day. I have people actively smoking cigarettes tell me I need to quit vaping because “it’s so bad for you”.

    Do I think that people that have never smoked should start vaping - absolutely not. Do I think people smoking 3 packs of cigarettes a day would be generally healthier if they switched to vaping - absolutely yes.
