They post on Rumble, I think that’s what they meant.

There is a video made in collab with Wendell who suggested a few distros and listed what can go wrong, but as far as I know, no established testing framework yet.

I cannot wait for GamersNexus to agree on a testing framework for Linux and then see how many games will run actually better on Linux than on Windows, either native or through Wine/Proton.

How is my response in any way hostile or even confrontational?

I didn’t ask why are you not moving away. I have no interest in being there as I have no interest in you coming out of there.

My question is: why did you get there in the first place.

Others answered my question to my satisfaction.

Can anyone explain to me why do people use Discord?

I find it incredibly chaotic, there are no user-friendly threads and therefore they are not used. Also there is no good introduction to the different channel templates one may encounter, leaving at least me wondering what is the best way to interact with people.

I hate Salesforce as much as the next guy, but Slack is immensely superior.

I know about the good audio thing, but I saw it seldomly used in the servers I was in before I deleted my account, so I don’t think that’s really the determining factor.

Asking the others, since I don’t think you are up for a conversation with me: is it a wild guess to imagine that the high chance to receive this kind of comments is the reason why Linux doesn’t have a wider penetration on the consumer market?

I know the alternative of a call center slave from India for Microsoft is not exactly the most appealing, but anything is better than this, in my opinion.

I am in since a few months, as stated in one of the comments, and it is already the 4th or 5th time I get someone responding in this way.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I just tried following the tutorial and… it only made me more proficient at using Timeshift.

To be exact, it prompted me to create a xorg.conf file, which apparently is not in my system. I accepted and it brought me to a black screen with a black screen that remained there for 5 minutes. I force rebooted the machine and it failed to launch lightdm.service.

So USB, Timeshift and back we are.

I am afraid I am not at your level yet. Been stable on Linux since only a few months.

Thanks again though, at least I know it exists.

That should be fine since I am planning to put it in its own partition and maybe disk, isolated from my main driver that would be Vanilla Mint, no?

Isn’t Bazzite based on Fedora?

Reading all the comments, I think I will do that since I want to stay on the same experience. Then maybe I will have another drive in the future to test Bazzite or CachyOs on.

Looked at their infrastructure and it looks like a solid alternative:

• BSO (UK) is their infrastructure provider
• GCP (USA) is used only as storage for encrypted backups and for AI features of a urine analyzer.

On the shortlist it goes.

I didn’t see the option, but also Huney Pop and others don’t work on Linux.

2 months in. Linux Mint. I am doing my part!

If GabeN is against it, I better comply fast! Thanks for the heads up!

Yes, it is a transitional dual boot setup. Will be trying to pass to exFAT as suggested elsewhere for working on both. Then when I will figure out what hardware would be most compatible, I will eventually remove the dual boot and fix things accordingly.

Thanks, I’ll try the formatting thing asap.

Does it save me from the risk of filenames including colons etc that others were talking about?

I am going to specify in the body of the post that this is a drive I used as library drive only for Steam, it is not the one holding the Windows boot.

Would that change things?

It is the same with all industries I guess: for each one of the mass consumption alternative there is a well-defined tipping point. The problem is that the people who, for a job, are informed about what these tipping points, most of them work in banks and other financial institutions as analysts.

We would need more of them to come and speak out, even anonymously, here on Lemmy, to inform the public about how close we are to achieving change, since so much more can be achieved when the goal is in sight.

For example, I believe we are closer than we think to the tipping point of the intensive cattle industry, but if someone well-informed would come here and say “you are this close, just call for X more people to join your consumption level and the whole thing goes to shit” I would mobilize A LOT more.

Disclaimer: I work in the marketing analytics industry

And you declare any site that has not yet discovered a better way than Amazon affiliate links to make money off-limits for you and suggest everyone else to do the same?

There are two problems I see in your approach:

1. You are not letting Productfrom and everyone else that a better way exists. In this case it could be setting up a similar program with someone better than Bezos or even turning everything into a crowdfunded operation.

2. You are cutting yourself off immense portions of the web for no good reason at all, since there are quite simple ways to prevent the harvesting of useful data from you.

If the site was a little better (a lot of products have the 5 years disclaimer on them) I would even voluntarily let them know more about me on their analytics, if they had one (they are on the old version of GA, which has sunset 2 years ago), since the idea is actually good.
