Trump actually washed his hands off the situation saying he ain’t getting involved.

F’course.

That’s Trump, he’s pretty mercurial. So he might change his mind.

All still working just fine to me. 💅

We getting 40k Cogitators before GTA 6

Welcome to being a third world citizen, stranger :'3

Probly looks less scary if I say the converted USD amount is ~1760 – But yeah not cheap at all lol

Already got one.

The laptop is for when I’m travelling.

Which is not for sale in my country :>

Trust me. I looked. There are no laptops with AMD dGPUs for sale here. There’s a few with AMD CPUs (and the AMD iGPU from that CPU), but that’s all, and they aren’t common.

And I’d be about 9k units of currency poorer with no benefit to myself.

Thankfully the samesuch community has already answered my question.

My friend has been pushing Bazzite on me since I told her about my plan. She says, quote “Yeah you can make the setup work on any distro of course but you have to set it up, Bazzite just does it all for you”

Does being an ass to strangers give you joy? Does it provide you pleasure? Does it help you get over your trauma, whatever it is?

… Also, clearly you don’t know how to read.

Either way:

• Google search has been utter and absolute garbage since AI Slop took over the world
• If you’d actually read my post you’d know my bugbear is about hybrid NVidia GPUs on laptops. I’d love to get an all-AMD laptop, as both of my machines are desktops built entirely out of AMD hardware, and I know NVidia’s infamy. But those are not available in my country.

What made Laptops hard was the whole “two GPUs, and the dGPU switches off to save battery” thing that required the installation of a specific daemon (I think it was called bumblebee or something?) and running games with a specific command to make it happen.

The laptop I was eyeing has a low-end 50 series card.

Sadly no. I had translated the flowchart for my blog, but that blog was a student project and it went offline when I finished college, and I kept no backup. Sorry, stranger.

The neat thing is that like

You COULD study and learn how to read the stuff Linux vomits on the terminal

Windows programmes just die and tell you nothing. Good fucking luck.

Posh person nonsense. At fancy parties you’re supposed to use different food weapons for each course and work your way from the outside in. Fairly sure the only reason it was invented was so rich ppl could show off how many fancy pieces of cutlery they owned.

Which is the vibe I get from Gnome’s design and its devs’ attitude in general. “Fancy party”. A bunch of dumbass rules you have no influence over and which people will sneer at you for breaking.

Orrrr I can use something else. Which I do. Something that respects the fact that my computer is in fact mine.

And like i said. It’d be fine if gnome was gnome… If it stayed in its fucking lane serving the people that like it.

But the gnome Devs have a lot of influence on how things like Wayland are taking shape, so their “let’s turn Linux into iPad” attitude does in fact affect me.

Because the point of Linux is I get to make it my own

If I wanted to use what the Devs tell me is the right setup and “just works”, I’d not own a computer at all. I’d just get an iPad, which has that appliance like “no options, just does what it’s made to do, works great under those constraints” thing going for it.

Gnome is very competently made except it’s made for a different genre of person to me, and their attitude towards customisation is outright disdainful. You install an extension or mess around in tweaks and gnome looks at you like you just used the salad fork for seafood.

I think it’s made for people who like Macs or sth.

Wouldn’t be a problem(people can use whatever makes them happy) if the gnome Devs shit attitude didn’t trickle outwards and harm customizability in other environments.

One of my professors in college demanded the class turn in a video production assignment as DVDs.

… This was in 2018

I was the only one in the class who even had a DVD burner (… Because I’d used it some years prior for PS2 games piracy and it was still in my storage box)

So the class bought a spindle of DVDs and I spent an afternoon burning everyone’s assignments to DVDs.

No idea what would have happened if they didn’t have a pet ultranerd like me. Like, did teach expect 'em to go and buy a USB DVD burner just for that?

That’s sorta what you get with decades of janky adaptations to not break old applications while also adding stuff that will be useful to newer applications. A whole lotta jank.

I agree it could perhaps be more orderly, but hey, as long as it works…

(EDIT: Although apparently /usr/ means Unix System Resources??? Idk, I don’t trust ddg THAT much)

Why is cat in your etc

That’s not where that goes, it goes in /usr/bin/
