Dankpods has gone in on Linux too. He did a video about building a Bazzite PC a couple of weeks back.

I use Soulseek along with a little command line tool to download all the music for my radio show. It’s an absolute joy to use.

In a better time, yes. These days it’ll throw a warning that the application can’t be trusted and offers to throw it in the bin. You have to run a command in the terminal now. Every time the app updates.

LibreWolf has updated?

Gotta do the dance again. Every. Fucking. Time.

Holy shit! TIL.

Red Dead Redemption 2

…again

I’ve just resurrected my partner’s old(ish) gaming PC. It’s got a reasonable GTX1060 GPU, so I’ve installed Kubuntu and am dipping my toes into the world of Linux gaming. So far it’s been pretty smooth.

Difficult to know how well it’ll handle RDR2 properly until I’m out of that accursed opening section up in the mountains. Not for the first time I wish there was a way to skip straight to the train holdup.

I wish him a lifetime of always being two good wipes away from clean.

I’ve recently gone through a pile of ‘dead’ ThinkPads T410 at work, cleaning them up, harvesting usable parts and installing Kubuntu on them so people on the shop floor who just need access to online forms can use them.

I’ve been genuinely surprised at the utility they can still offer, despite being fairly low spec dual core i5 machines from 2010. Sure, no one’s gaming on them, but that’s not the point. They’re still useful.

As a relatively new Linux user, I picked KDE Neon for my work PC as I figured it made sense to have direct access to up-to-date KDE software. So I’m kind of disconcerted at reading that Neon is considered by KDE to be at the end of its road.

Given that I just did a regular installation, without putting Home on a separate partition or anything like that, what’s the most efficient way of backing everything up and moving across to a distro that’s more actively maintained?

Mintedlambchopius it is then.

That sounds horrifying.

Buzzfeed saw the popularity of Clickhole and didn’t get the joke.
