  • Tried it out cause of curiosity and the allure of not being subject to a corporation’s whims. Discovered package managers, aur, how customizatable the whole experience is and never looked back

    I still dual boot Windows for a select couple games that don’t run on Linux (anticheat) but I try to use it as little as possible cause it just feels gross.


  • Bitwig and Blender work great on Linux, as well as most games. MS Office and the proprietary apps will need a separate Windows install. Wine is a compatibility layer that essentially translates the Windows files into something that your Linux OS can use. It works great for some things, like games, but isnt recommended/doesn’t work for others, like Office or Adobe suite. Personally I’d recommend finding the alternatives for the programs you need on Windows and trying them out, while keeping the original programs in your Windows install. You can get used to the workflow of the new programs and decide if switching is a viable thing for you. And if not, hey now you’re comfortable with another set of programs just in case you need them in the future.


  • Essentially, yeah. Most programs will install to your root directory, but all your personal configs and personal files will be in your home directory.

    What I’d personally recommend is using Timeshift to automatically keep backups if your home directory on a separate partition, then if you want to switch distros or if you need to reinstall for whatever reason you can use Timeshift to restore your home directory pretty easily, as long as your new install uses the same file system.




  • I was having problems with the newer endeavour ISOs just not booting as well. Installed Ventoy on my flash drive and it works like a dream now. Also now I can have multiple ISOs on the same drive and choose which I want which makes it an amazing tool to just have in a backpack or whatever.


  • Yeah I kinda lost interest in Distrotube when he started randomly pulling out guns in videos…

    Like, I don’t care what your political views are as long as you make good content and stay on topic, and keep your views and work separate yaknow. Like hell, if you want to make separate videos about that then by all means, but I’m watching a tutorial on how to set up openbox I don’t care about your guns and freedoms

    Burger King poutine is the ultimate shit tier. The gravy tastes like fucking vegetable soup for some reason. McDonalds is not much better but at least it’s edible.

    Here’s my fast food poutine tier list:

    S- A&W - ( I gobble this shit up like turkey dinner. Happy Thanksgiving, btw)

    A- Smoke’s, NYF (similar chains, I would give NYF the edge here though as their fries and gravy are more appealing. Smoke’s has more options though, which doesn’t affect my ranking whatsoever because I exclusively eat classic poutine, but it is worth mentioning.)

    B- Arby’s, Dairy Queen (Arby’s curly fries suit poutine well, they pick up a lot of gravy and cheese. Dairy Queen just does all elements well.)

    C- Wendy’s (the fries are great, but the rest is always weak)

    D- McDonald’s (I never order it, the gravy is meh at best and McDonald’s fries are not suited to poutine)

    F- Burger King (the fries are fine but the gravy is the weirdest shit and ruins the whole experience. I’ve ordered it a couple times to be sure and have never finished it. I don’t go to Burger King for this reason)

    I will not be taking arguments.
