even if you were ok with renting a printer for some reason, I find it so creepy that HP needs to monitor all the stuff that gets sent to the printer.

Also I hope whoever decided that everything needs to be a subscription service is having a bad time.

ah yes, Liux

lol same here on F39 KDE. I was wondering “wait was that a setting i changed?” I haven’t used KDE on another distro in a real long time

The first time I read this, i thought “shouldn’t all that be executable anyway?”

And then I read it again and realized, minus x

lmao write your website better then. That popup sure looks like its working

lol welcome! Enjoy your time on the Linux side

I use Yakuake most of the time. It’s a Quake-style drop down terminal thats always available. I find it to be convenient for the vast majority of the terminal stuff I do.

When I need to edit long files or something, tho, I usually use Kitty, since the quake-style terminals tend to get in the way sometimes lol. It’s not really a unique thing to Kitty or anything, but I like how you can split one window into multiple terminals.

🤘LETS GOOOOO🤘

True, but there’s always the option of installing KDE or something else with Wayland support

Idk how well Debian stable would work, but Debian Sid might be a bit easier to work with in terms of games with it being more on the bleeding edge.

There’s also Linux Mint Debian if you want to stay in the Debian universe, but you’d get more of the ease of use of Mint.

Me personally, I’m using Fedora for gaming and I haven’t really had many issues with it. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could try Fedora or Nobara, which is a more gaming focused spinoff of Fedora

been playing around with sway on my laptop and it’s been pretty fun. Tiling window managers are fun!

Blender: If you’re interested in 3D modeling or Animation
Inkscape: If you have any need for a vector graphics program thats a bit like Adobe Illustrator
OBS: If you need to do any screen recording or livestreaming
Haruna Video Player: It plays videos and can also play youtube videos if you paste in a link. (This also pulls in yt-dlp as a dependency, which allows you to download youtube videos and the like from a terminal)
btop: A nice looking system resource monitor that runs in a terminal

for a bit more context, ncdu is a Disk Usage analyzer that runs in the terminal. If you’ve ever used WizTree on windows, its kinda like that. Really useful to see whats taking up space on your disk

im not sure how helpful it’ll be, but theres a program called nvtop that will show you what’s using your GPU and all that. Maybe it’ll show something right as it crashes, or at least give you a hint as to what to look into next?

Linux may have different thermal cutoffs for when to throttle compared to Windows, so that might explain it.
I’d reseat the connector for the water pump. I just installed a new PSU last week and when I turned it on, I had no RGB. I didn’t even think I went near the RGB header, but I ended up having to reseat it.

Another vote for yt-dlp

It works with ffmpeg and you can choose the quality you want to download from Youtube. Also its nice if you want to record a livestream as its being broadcast. Its also not limited to just Youtube either, it seems to work on lots of sites.

what dot20 said was similar to what I had to do in order to get the Windows boot option back after GRUB couldn’t find it after a Fedora install. As long as you can still see your Windows drive when you boot up the Windows Install Media, you should be able to rebuild its EFI entry.

As an addendum, here is a link to the Fedora docs for what to do in Fedora after you manage to rebuild Windows’ EFI stuff.

Microsoft’s next invention will be a Memory Swap plasmid lol

wow that is such a good idea omg. I love ffmpeg but i barely use it often enough to remember what any of the arguments i need are and --help is scary

Honestly, I’ve been getting the Linux itch again too. It’s been like a decade since I’ve used desktop Linux so im curious as to how far it has come.

I’m not too worried about gaming since Valve has put in a lot of work for linux gaming, my main thing would be readjusting to Krita over CSP for art.
