Linux in a Bit 🐧

https://linuxrocks.online/@Linux_in_a_Bit

👋Hi, I'm Aaron, nice to meet you!
📽️ I (sometimes) make videos on the internet that vaguely resemble good content.
📸 I also sometimes do little photography experiments.
🐧Of course I run Linux, it's in the name :)
🦣 I wanted to try out Mastodon about 3 years ago, and I ended up here. Never used Birdsite!

Also Microsoft is becoming more of a liability and people (aided by the aforementioned Steam Deck and Proton) are jumping to Linux.

Steam Deck.

Someone suggested 'forced-decision' telemetry where you are forced to make a decision as to whether or not you want it, with no default selected. :thinking:
:blobwizard: Here's how that would work:
:ablobcatwave: Would you like to help out our project by providing us with fully anonymized error reports, usage information, and crash logs?

Rigs of Rods :ablobcatattention:
The only game where you can fly a Boeing 767 into a train that is actively running down a semi truck while in the distance three different models of school bus sit in a mangled glitchy pile on a working to-scale replica of the USS Gerald R. Ford. :blobwizard:
If that sounds like your kind of game, you can get it here: https://www.rigsofrods.org/
Or compile it from source here: https://github.com/RigsOfRods/rigs-of-rods

Should've switched to Budgie :blobcat3csmirk:
In all seriousness though, you should really try it.
It's like Gnome's more relaxed, cooler, and less annoying older brother. :thinkergunsunglasses:

I wanna see something :blobcatthink:
Which one are you?

"Turantula Hawk" sounds like something that should only be found in a remote part of Australia.

“They don’t teach you about taxes in school” people should’ve tried this thing called “Consumer Education”. In Illinois at least, it’s been a state-wide requirement since 1967. :blobcatthink:

For when you get into an argument about which AC power connector is better:

Even LTT now recognizes the sheer stupidity of companies using the term "AI".
I'm fairly sure that in a few years we will see a market crash caused by the tech sector. They're getting desperate. :blobcat_thisisfine:

:blobcatthink: How long do you think it will take for somebody to get Linux working with a GUI on those new laptops with Qualcomm chips once they release?

Gotta love monitors that sit on your desk, rarely move, and don't have to be thin or light but somehow still manage to come with a separate external power brick like I'm some sort of cable management genius :blobcat_thisisfine:

"I don't think that they're going to have [a Wayland-only release] done by Q3 or Q4 but that's a very ambitious goal."

We're only half way through Q2 and he's already dog-fooding Wayland. :blobthinkingeyes:

I think it might actually happen... :ablobcatrave:

Why are y'all protesting on foot?
Doing it in cars and gridlocking the ENTIRETY OF DC is MUCH more effective. :blobcatgiggle:
