You just need to be moderator of a sub, so just make one

Yup, I’m in the same situation

If you install Linux first and then Windows on the same drive, it will fuck up your bootloader.

You can easily make Grub boot Windows, so just overwrite whatever fuckup Windows made, or install Windows first.

It won’t happen with a simple update, though, that’s for sure. Maybe if you’re upgrading Windows to a new major release.

Did we just collectively travel 15 years back in time?

Boost for reddit still works fine

I, too, am tired of the constant pessimism. Almost everything is improving all the time.

On Lemmy it seems the biggest crisis is Google trying to make money off user data (as they always have been). Some people legitimately need to go outside and stop measuring world health by what mass media is currently telling them.

But muh POSIX

I just have pack and extract functions in my shell RC files that look at file extensions and use the proper tool with proper arguments.

Wrote them 10 years ago and they’ve worked flawlessly ever since!

Big parts of Europe has. I pay about €17 for unlimited 5G.

I have wifi at home of course but I still mostly use cellular cus it’s faster lol

Same in Denmark. It was 15 until recently. We also held the record for teenage drinking for a long time, and still hold “most average alcohol per session” or something.

Yet we are statistically one of the “happiest” countries in the world. And take the most antidepressants!

The result of this is that all drinking Swedes just have a huge storage of alcohol at home though.

They also frequently drive all the way to Germany (through Denmark) to shop duty-free drinks in bulk.

Scandinavian countries have “pant” on bottles and cans, meaning you pay extra for the container, but get the money back when you return it empty.

Compared to almost all other distros, Arch is advanced in the way that it’s the simplest of them all. Nothing except the very basics are set up for you, so it’s tough to start with.

Proton is just Valve’s fork of Wine. It had a lot of game-specific patches, to make all the Steam games work better.

Wine isn’t meant specifically for games - you can run most Windows applications in it. It’s just translations of Windows syscalls to Linux equivalents, to put it simply.

No… Even if that was true, what you’re saying is “you’re right, but you might not be in a month, sooo Google bad”.

It won’t be opt-out because first of all, that’s against the law. And second you’re literally opting in by accepting their terms…

Proton and Wine are largely the same thing. Proton just has DXVK built in as well as a bunch of Valve-made patches.

Valve had greatly accelerated Wine development. I still run many games off pure Wine with manually added DXVK.

It’s opt-in and they’re very clear about that.

I used to just check WineHQ and if it has Gold or above, you can definitely make it run

Steam version of BG2 EE worked flawlessly for me. It’s been discounted down to like 3€ a few times

It’s not that great tbh. I spent maybe 6 hours in it and didn’t get hooked. With BG3 however, I’m at 60 hours and I can’t put it down

Show me some proof of any significant performance gain from these configuration changes, then. You also forgot to mention running Zen kernel as well, which might actually provide some benefits.

Nvidia are notorious for releasing broken Linux drivers… You probably won’t notice this unless you actually update frequently. Arch is bleeding edge so they often fly right through without much testing.
