If you’re not sure who the Linux enthusiast is in your circle, it’s you.

I’ve been using PipePipe and it works great.

I think I’d be willing to let go of the handful of things that are exclusive, given that I could probably do more with a proper Linux system. It’s the basic phone functionality (as others have mentioned) that keeps me from switching.

I know it’s not really ready for it yet, but I guess I’m gonna be looking into a Linux phone before I thought I would.

I was running a GTX 1660ti and an i7 until yesterday using CachyOS. Worked great! Though for older cards, I might recommend a LTS distro to ensure you retain support (Mint is my go-to recommendation).

Same here! It’s Arch-like in having the latest updates, but I’ve found it to be a lot easier and forgiving than “vanilla” Arch. Been running it for a while now and it’s been a great fit.

Many DNS providers offer privacy options. They’ll put their own information in the WHOIS database and forward relevant stuff to you.

Debian is an operating system based entirely on free software, while a fedora is a type of stylish hat.

How dare they charge *checks notes* the same thing Visa and Mastercard charge everyone in our entire country for everything.

Just put it on a USB stick. No install, no commitment. Baby steps.

Yeah I saw that. Not ideal, but there aren’t a ton of games I play that really need that throttle.

That looks super cool, but unfortunately I can’t spare CAD$483 for it :(

8bitdo controllers are great, I have the SN30 Pro. But the 2C Ultimate doesn’t have that right joystick in the position I’m looking for.

Dang, this is definitely the winner. I’m a fan of Nintendo’s controllers, but never had a WiiU so didn’t realize they were in that configuration. Thanks!

Weirdly, it seems like the only non-modular part are the buttons on the right side. You can swap out the right stick for other things (like additional buttons), but you can’t put a stick up top. A bit above my price range, but a super cool idea.

Nope, thumbs on the joysticks and fingers on the triggers, with the thumbs leaving the joysticks if the buttons are needed. Same way I use any other controller, but I find the upper positioning of the joystick to be more comfortable and intuitive for FPS games.

Oh dang, I’m actually totally into that. Thanks!
