Thanks I'll look out for this when I re-watch this show again. So much thought behind all the details
Yeah, I have not really been liking the direction a lot if headset manufactures are going. I am never going to give meta money if I have a choice.
My works used windows only industrial software. I have tried it in wine but there are to many companion apps and the accompanying licensing issues.
I palayed half life Alex on the Vive when it came out on popos. That said I tried to play it again about 18month later and it was broken; would launch but not load properly. Beat saber has worked for me very consistently, mods are hard to get going but it's possible.
Not sure that's 100% true anymore. It's not uncommon for people to go years without interacting with a windows PC, most will just use their mobile instead. When I say interacting I am not talking about using a self check at a grocery store running an app in kiosk mode, I mean startup, shutdown, update, install apps and use them.
I friend asked me for a laptop last year and had not used one for 8 years since his previous job. Even then his previous job was as a traidy and he only used it for generating invoices. I am sure their would be an app/service for that now.
Windows is in decline mainly because desktop and laptops are irrelevant for large swaths of the general population.
Provided the OS does not get in the way of what people are trying to accomplish (mainly accessing the web browser) it does not matter anymore.
Most people normal people now days need a web browser and LibreOffice (or google docs variant). Pair that with Bazzite or other "ready to go" OS that comes pre installed with multimedia codecs, navidia drivers, a mobile like app store, a mobile like DE and it can be that simple.
That was a good read, thanks.
+1 bazzite as well. It comes with waydroid for android apps, its Linux (so WSL covered), it does have a gaming focus, it has various Virtualization tools (toolbox, box-buddy) but you can get other options depending on what you actually want.
Don't like it you can rebase to one of the other ostree based images from uBlue or fedora with about one command and a reboot.
Sorry to hear that. My 1080 works just fine and I use it daily, but that's using the legacy navidia drivers. I assumed the newer cards with the newer driver would be in a better state. What card do you have?
LTT warnning: I Can’t Keep Waiting for SteamOS! - Linux Gaming Update 2025
If Linus were to visit Mount Everest, he'd reach base camp, spend the next day criticizing the sherpas, calling them foolish for taking the well-established path, and insisting that a direct line to the summit is obviously the best option.
Bazite has solid onboarding, hardware support (including Nvidia and AMD), and, dare I say, even printer support. All things he complains about in this video. But then again, what do I know? I'm just a sherpa.
Sorry for the delay, two kids with gastro :$
I cheeted, I used my partners Win11 desktop, installed the XBox accessorys app, update completed in about 4 minutes. I have had success with windows based firmware update tools using wine in the past; with a lot of troubleahooting. Her PC is 2 meters from me and it was done in 4 mintes.... Yes I feel dirty, but it's a one-off firmware update. Pick your battles.
Bazzite in game mode reports as a Steam Deck
I have been running Bazzite on my TV for a few weeks. Was using PopOs however I was having issues with some games not launching, probably to do with the combination of Unraid VM, GPU passthrough, Xorg with fractional scaling on a 4k pannel. Bazzite with "Game mode" is amazing. Closest thing to Steam OS that I know about. Everything just worked with the exception of needing to firmware update my xbox controller to get it to work. Game mode seems to report as a steam deck.
The final straw was when win10 started putting ads in the start menu. The start menu is so broken and bloated....
Cool, thought for a long time there it was just an artistic liberty; but this is much cooler.
Hi Astrophysics,
I always wondered why they draw black holes like they do in that the accretion looks like it's drawn in two planes. I would have thought it would have looked a bit more like a saturns rings? Or is it exactly like saturns rings but we see the whole ring bent round the top because a black hole bends the light around so we can see it? Or is it something else entirely that they are trying to depict here?
I would also accept dath maul chopping up zombies then getting a pint at the winchester. 😁👍
The More You Know
Sounds like circumcision propaganda to me.
That goofy looking thing will fuck you up.
They have spikes on their wings and no fear.
How many goes have that had with the hulk and spider man movies?
These fucks nested in my front yard. Then when their chick got stuck in a drain I rescued it while being assaulted (swooped is an understatement) constantly. I had to gear up with a bike helment, glases, towel and stick to fend them off while doing it. FYI they have sharp spurs on their wings and they know how to use them. They would also just swoop me walking to and from the car. They also make a lot of noise all the time.
Two moons and a dude hangliding? I love AI.
Off the top of my head, rope to put down Gide lines in case you get silted out so you have something to follow to get out.
Also extra everything, if your open water diving and you run out of air (or other critial equipment failure) you can roll the dice on the bends by going straight to the surface, not so with cave diving; your just going to drown.
