What makes you not want to use Linux anymore and maybe move back to Windows, MacOS, or TempleOS? in c/[email protected]

I feel like this post is guerilla marketing for "TempleOS", which I've never heard of before and will absolutely not be looking up after this.

which linux distro do you NOT like, and why? in c/[email protected]

Garuda. It feels like being inside a gaming rig full of blinking RGB lights. Way over the top with the "gamer aesthetic".

Freelancer HD on Linux? (lemm.ee)
 

So I'm very new to linux gaming. I swapped like last month and I've really been enjoying how well everything I've tried on Steam just works these days.

But I was looking to try something a little more advanced next. I saw that there's a HD "remaster" mod for Freelancer (which is abandonware now, so easy to find for free online). As it's one of my all time favorite games, and I haven't played it in like 20 years, I thought it might be fun to check it out again.

I saw that it is on lutris and tried installing it that way. The installation goes fine but after it's done, the lutris installer just hangs with "return code 256". Googling it didn't provide me any useful info other than one guy saying just to install it directly with an empty WINE prefix. I have no idea how to do that and it sounds like it might be more of a pain in the ass than I want to deal with.

But I thought I'd just post here and see if anyone else has tried this and gotten it to work. I can always dual boot back into Windows but I'd rather not do that ever again if I can avoid it. For the record, I'm on Pop!_OS.

What distro do you recommend for gaming? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It's by the GloriousEggroll guys, and I really liked it a lot. I would still be using it if it worked better with my laptop's hybrid Nvidia graphics setup. When I get around to swapping my desktop to linux, I'll almost certainly go with Nobara first.

FWIW, Pop!_OS is where I landed for great hybrid graphics support.

Sync24 - Comfortable Void [Full Album] (www.youtube.com)
 

"Dance of the Droids" is a particularly dope track.

Shpongle - Are You Shpongled? [FULL ALBUM] (www.youtube.com)
 

The original psybient album and the GOAT. My all-time number one "desert island album". Nothing compares.

On a side note: couldn't be more excited by this community! Here's hoping it takes off! I'll try my best not to overload with suggestions early. :-D

Question for Chevy Bolt Owners (lemm.ee)
 

I'm looking into replacing our aging second car and considering the Bolt EUV. My wife has only one requirement in a new car: she has to be able to turn on the heating/cooling remotely with the app like with our Tesla. Is this something the Bolt can do?

I found a really old reddit thread that suggested that you can sort of do it by turning the car on remotely, which would turn on the climate if you left the climate on when you turn the car off. Not sure why they'd let you do this and not just put a climate button in the app but whatever works, I guess.

I just saw that they're discontinuing the Bolt tho. Might be a dumb idea to buy a car that's hard to work on and being discontinued.

Google.com

Surprising how many people won't just go search for the answer to their question before asking it online.

YSK how to pick a ripe, sweet watermelon in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I spent a season working in a packing house for watermelons. They'd come in by the crateload and we were allowed to just grab one to eat any time we wanted.

The trick I was taught, and which proved to be pretty reliable over the course of the season, was to feel the veins. (This is possibly what's being described as webbing here?) Watermelons aren't smooth, they have wide "veins" running top to bottom and you can feel them if you put your hand flat on the side of the melon. The bigger/poofier/wider the veins, the more ripe is it.
