How so? I usually find their content pretty interesting

I had a steam dependency on my system break or get uninstalled somehow. It was giving me headaches for a bit because steam wasn’t launching and had a pretty vague error when launched from CLI. I imagine using a flatpak version would circumvent a lot of those problems because of the sandboxing

This. Lemmy/Kbin will probably get a flood of PC users when old reddit shuts down, most people came here because of the API changes killing mobile apps

But most of the comments on this post really aren’t elitist. Most desktop tools are made by volunteers (with the exception of SUSE, Canonical, Red Hat, etc. who mostly deal with running on servers) and those volunteers only have so much time to work on projects. If they don’t have time/knowledge to build GUIs when the terminal is “good enough” for their use cases, why should they?

If someone else needs the GUI, they can develop a frontend separately (which also gives people the choice of being able to cut down on software they don’t need if they only use the terminal interface)

Personally, my take on this is that Linux isn’t mainstream for a reason. Windows/macOS still exist and (privacy concerns aside) function well. It would be amazing if Linux could become more beginner friendly, but let’s not try to act like desktop Linux developers who are already giving up their time owe it to us to do even more.

We’ve been doing something similar (assuming you meant 3 oz and not 30) with 2 meals a day 12 hours apart. Right now I think we’re using a bit more dry food, since our cats (we have 2 others as well) have only eaten dry food for their entire lives and we’re still trying to transition them to mostly wet food

My family’s cat just got diagnosed about a month ago :( He’s doing well so far with his insulin shots but it likely went unnoticed for a week or two because he’s a pretty reserved cat and normally hides from us. He’s been having trouble walking/jumping recently which is probably related, hopefully the insulin along with a changed diet (we’re mostly feeding him wet food now) will help him improve

Now I know what my next steam game is going to be, thanks for that

Gentoo Linux. Into the deep end!

(Starting off with something like mint or pop!os is probably your best bet, EndeavourOS is a good choice too but it’s a little bit more effort for a first distro)

Definitely pokemon

Is it ranger? I’m between that and maybe XD/Colosseum with the power ranger description but it’s been a while since I played either so I don’t remember the villains well

I’ve been using arch-based distros on multiple systems for the about 5 years now. I never read release notes, and have also never had any system-breaking updates. Occasionally I get problems with AUR packages but they usually solve themselves by doing a clean-build, reinstall, or just by waiting a day for a dependency to update. In the rare case that none of those work, there’s usually a message on the AUR package page providing an exact fix. I usually just run “yay -Syu” once a day, recently I’ve been doing it once per week and still haven’t had any real problems with it.

I’ve been using EndeavourOS for about 1.5 years on my laptop and about a year on my desktop. I’ve been using it as arch but pre-configured. I believe EndeavourOS uses the same repositories as stock Arch, with an extra EndeavourOS repo added for theming and some convenience tools they use.

The UI might not be as easy as Manjaro (I don’t think they pre-install a GUI for pacman/yay, but it isn’t hard to install one like pamac). Other than that if you use a desktop like Gnome or KDE and install a pacman frontend you probably won’t need to interact with the terminal more than you want. Honestly I think EndeavourOS is a great place to start if you want to learn more about Linux without having to spend the time configuring your system from scratch.

In my experience with google at least, you have to specifically add “lemmy” to get any results to show up (and a lot of them aren’t related to the search term, just general lemmy pages), which doesn’t solve the problem until enough people know to add it.

I’m all for lemmy overtaking reddit but let’s not waste people’s time by deleting useful information 🙃. Deleting comments with solutions to problems will just come off as obnoxious and make people want to avoid lemmy.

They won’t come here… They’ll go wherever they can to solve the problem, which won’t be here because Lemmy doesn’t really show up in search results yet

Seconding EndeavourOS as an alternative, I used to use Manjaro and eventually the dependency conflicts (because every non-AUR package is about 2-weeks out-of-date) drove me insane enough to switch to Endeavour. I haven’t had a problem with the exception of a broken grub update last year, which AFAIK wasn’t just an EndeavourOS problem and they’ve since taken action to prevent something like that from occurring again.

That’s fair and definitely a good thing, but a decent pair of wired headphones could easily last 3-4x that timespan. E-Waste is a real problem! Good sounding headphones from 10 years ago will probably still sound pretty good today

In a rhythm game the difference between a 10ms ping (wired average for just audio) and a 100-300ms ping (Bluetooth average for just audio) is definitely noticeable, at any level of play. With Bluetooth it isn’t even just 1 frame you’ll miss, it’s about a 3rd of a second in the worst case.

This isn’t necessarily a fair comparison because USB receiver headsets latency much closer to wired exist, but most people with wireless headsets will be using Bluetooth, and not aptX LL Bluetooth.

I don’t even play rhythm games, casually playing the music-synced rooms in Celeste (a 2D platformer) was enough to make me stop playing until I could find a wire for my Sony XM5’s.

Can confirm this is not true.

My Corsair HS70 battery could only hold a charge for about 15 minutes after I had it for 1-1.5 years. The battery was the only bad thing about it at the time until I opened it up and replaced it. To make things worse, for that headset you have to manually take out the terminal pins and switch two of them for any Amazon battery because the wires are crossed the wrong way.

95% of people in the same situation would have just thrown the headset out and gotten a new one.

The problem is that using the share button will often just copy the link, not the image. I haven’t used iOS in multiple years but I remember that being a problem. That being said, the last time I used iOS the files app hadn’t been added yet so idk
