You see, the watch later playlist won’t watch itself.

Why what? Why Debian? Why Nvidia? Or White Nvidia 550 drivers?

• Why Debian: Because I am most familiar with Debian-based distros, and I don’t generally need latest stuff for anything. I really wanted to familiarize myself with the base for other distros, and I am fine with it.

• Why Nvidia: Because I chose Nvidia when I built my computer (it was running Windows 10 at that moment) and I never upgraded it, and given that I don’t have integrated graphics on my system I am stuck with it, unless I upgrade.

• Why Nvidia 550 drivers: Because these are the drviers that are in the latest Debian release (13 - trixie) and I don’t want to break my system by installing experimental drivers or official ones from Nvidia. I also only have problems on Wayland Plasma session where HW accelerated apps and games have big graphical issues, but relogging to X11 session is fine for now. I don’t really play video games, except retro and indie stuff anyway.

I am on Debian with Nvidia 550 drivers… yeah.

I like GUI’s, but I prefer them simple and customizable, so I eventually want to switch away from KDE Plasma to just some window manager.

OpenBSD

I use Debian on my desktop PC and laptop and OpenBSD on the other laptop.

I am both a chad and schizo.

Edit: And no, not because of Gentoo.

OpenBSD is pretty cool.

On Linux you can indeed install old apps. You will just need to spend few hours doing so… or use Flatpak I guess.

I use Debian GNU/Linux ftw.

Like a month ago, someone wanted to connect my laptop to a projector in university class to show presentation. Little did I know that after connecting HDMI cable I will have a black screen on my laptop, lol.

If I knew my laptop is going to be used in such way I would prepare, but still…

Sure, but you still need to package Steam for all different “Linux distributions” (I put it in quotes, because I dislike the term) separately, or use things like Flatpak, which some people might be comfortable with, and others not really.

And if you go to page like ProtonDB, it shows that people have all different hardware and software configurations and it’s a big mess, because you are never sure if game will work or not, until you try (and maybe try different “hacks” to get it running). I have problems running ETS2 (Euro Truck Simulator 2) on Debian, even though it run on Windows fine, and let me say: I don’t have time for this shit.

I use Linux, because I am fed up with Windows, and I don’t really play games anymore (or at least modern titles) but if I replace my computer this year to get new build (will run Debian of course), I think I will just install either Bazzite or Windows 11 (or both) on the PC I am currently using, and let my brother play games there.

I am a Zillenial and I do the same.

The problem with Linux is that you can’t target… Linux. Because there’s no single Linux.

Treat jobs like these as temporary.

Look for jobs that actually matter and you find interesting.

I mean… when I was a teenager I literally used my DSi with it’s built-in Opera browser for porn… well, at least I was able to see some pictures, because I don’t think any video playback was possible.

For me Minecraft lost its charm around version 1.5/1.6. People don’t get that it has been whole different game back then, and the fact that you had limited blocks and items meant you needed to become creative with them. Now they keep adding stuff that is either useless or blocks for building that are nearly the same as other ones.

I was thinking about getting into legacy Minecraft, but I never found people I want to play it with, and right now I don’t really have time for it.

Building apps without using code is still programming, since you must create logic for the program.

What do you want to eat after universe ends?

Just as I said, maybe except Android or Apple smartphones, neither of these tech companies create products which are required for a living. And there are usually some more eco-friendly alternatives in another industries as well, even if more expensive ones.

Just don’t use products made by these corporations. It’s your choice. Stop pretending it is not.

Edit: WELLL, maybe except Google or Apple, since it is forced on society to use smartphones, which sucks, but that’s where some government regulation could help.
