Same here, it’s the reason why I kicked Ubuntu off my laptop. They removed any way to choose and made it such a pain to get around the Snap bullshit. I’m on Linux because I want to choose what I do with my system.

Microsoft is the “Linux salesman of the year” because most people switching to Linux do it just because Windows has become so terrible.

I hated Windows 8 enough to put up with it at the time. It’s nuts how much things have improved since then.

I don’t really need more than that.

Same here, at least so I thought until I started distro-hopping out of curiosity. And I learned that there are a ton of Nvidia specific problems on a lot of different distributions. I guess I just got lucky with my main setup that I’ve been using since around the same time.

The Linux version of the game is sometimes treated like an unloved stepchild though. I actually played the game through Wine for years because the Windows build had about twice the FPS on my Linux system.

There’s also a bug when reflections are enabled that makes the game unplayable and it hasn’t been fixed for about a year. It took them something like two years to fix another one where the mouse randomly left the window on a dual monitor setup and that one basically made me stop playing altogether. That said, I appreciate them supporting Linux in any case.

But the opposing candidate was depicted as a crying soyjak and my candidate was the nordic gamer chad! How could I not vote for him?!

Tbh I’ve never used anything other than Nvidia hardware on Linux and I’ve only ever had some minor annoyances over the past 10 years. Nvidia has a bad rep in this community because of the closed source drivers, not so much because of stability or compatibility.

I experienced that too and ended up just disabling the timed sleep mode. Not sure if it’s actually related to KDE software or just a Linux bug in general though.

PRAISE THE CUBE

Correction: The Thinkpad is not optional.

I recently used shreddit with the --gdpr-export-dir flag and it worked perfectly.

I’ve had the same experience. Most scripts just erase the comments available directly through your reddit profile, which is limited to the most recent ~2000 posts that you’ve made. To fully erase anything and everything, you need to request all your data from reddit, download the .zip and feed it into an application like shreddit.

And the outputs of bots. There has been a shocking increase in auto-generated comments on reddit in the past years and it’s turning the training data into a minefield.

“When does le narwhal bacon?”

That’s what I just did with my account of 10 years. I had all comments overwritten with gibberish and purged them a few days later. I’ll send them a final DSGVO request and delete it afterwards.

From what I’ve read, I must be the luckiest person in the world. I’ve been on Linux for 10+ years and only ever had Nvidia hardware. I’ve never had any issues aside from the occasional Vsync annoyance.
