  • I’m excited for the day I’m coming home from work at night, coming over a hill I can’t see over, and then BOOM a human is in the middle of the road and I run someone over, because they “deserve to use the road as a pedestrian”

    Cool. I’ll tell that to my therapist for the rest of my life while I try and cope with the fact that I’ve ended a life.

    It’s one thing for someone to walk down the street and put themselves at risk.

    It’s an entirely different deal to force an unsuspecting person into a dangerous situation. That’s fucking selfish.







  • So I’m a die hard apple boi as well, but I’ve been getting into Linux a bit lately (to replace my windows machine that was solely for gaming)

    I think the main reason I still stick with Apple over Linux for most things is that Linux requires more tinkering.

    Every time I wanna play a new game I need to try out different versions of protons until it works. When I need a new software, I have to go google if I CAN have it, how to get it, or to find out what exact version I should use for my distribution, etc.

    Linux, as impressed with it as I am so far, is like having an old classic car I’m fixing up. It’s a hobby. I need to dedicate time to learning, maintaining, and optimizing my experience. So it’s great for my hobby of gaming!

    My Mac just works when I need it to work, no tinkering, no second thoughts. It’s the boring but reliable modern car I take on long trips. I just use computer, get work done, without roadblocks I have to google derailing me every 10 mins.

    I’m all for Linux, I’ve very much enjoyed it so far and will continue learning, but as a “normie” using Linux, the simplicity of Mac is often missed.






  • Not sure what you have, what your trying to do, and am pretty new to Linux myself, but I’m running KDE neon with a 3070, and after a little work to get drivers updated I’ve had minimal issues!

    I’m not doing anything too crazy though, mostly web browsing and gaming is all.


  • Not the best job, but I guarantee it’s having an effect.

    I say this as someone who finally gave Linux another chance about a month ago (due to annoyances with Microsoft) and it’s going really well!

    Even a noob like me can just install KDE and learn a few “launch through steam” tricks and I’ve had very minimal issues!

    I think a lot of the casuals like me still think Linux is all terminals and command lines, but it’s clear it doesn’t have to be now. And Microsoft’s campaign is what pushed me to come look again!
