lots of good stuff

like reicast bringing dreamcast online back

must resist childhood PSO addiction

a group of crazy people are attempting to get retroarch to function on the PS2 yes the actual PS2

nerdom bless them for trying

one thing i never want to do is rely on official repositories especially on ubuntu based distros

so much distro dev time would be taken trying to keep those up to date

community packages are only as good as the community maintaining them

in the end i really don't think we will ever find the conclusive solution

snaps and flatpaks tried but they ran into a lot of the same issues aur packages did and still do

i went back to a 2012 amd mobo the asrock n68gs-fx sporting 8gb of ddr3 ram and the phenom 2 1055t six core cpu 125w cpu with a speed nob controlled heatsink fan

still works like a champ to this day

the onboard gpu is trash though i really need to get a replacement heatsink and fan for this amd gpu now

also need to get a 95w fx eight core cpu at some point

before anyone screams but ryzen

it's still cheaper to upgrade what i got now

my only issue with snaps is they suffer from the same issue the aur does

once someone lets a program stay out of date you're pretty well screwed to put it bluntly

not to mention the obs-studio snap is not only out of date

but

requires terminal commands for certain features as explained on the snap page for it

all these replies saying compile it yourself are why it's so hard to convert people to linux

the people i deal with don't want to figure out ppa or compiling

they want all the software from the default software center set

so i guess in a way flatpaks are not that useful

snaps have become easily installable unless dealing with something like kde discover

gnome software makes snaps easy to install

so my intel lga 1150 mobo broke one of the ram slots died out caused a power on issue

put the old am3+ mobo back in both ram sticks work and everything is fine now

sorry intel fans

i swear to nerdom if anyone says self compile over doing it the easy way

i will put the shame stamp on you

simplicity will always win to me

would you trust a ppa or a flatpak?

would you trust an aur package that needs a gpg key added or a flatpak?

the real questions #Flatpak #Linux

so apparently youtube is so messed up that an official trailer for fortnite from the actual publisher (allegedly) got copyright striked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdU1ytlv--Y this is well pretty EPIC 🙃

just got offered a golden opportunity to convert someone who is having no ip found issues on windows to linux

which distro to use for someone who literally has no understanding of computers and just wants to go online in a web browser

it needs to be fool proof and extremely simple

looks like microsoft is showing there love for linux by purchasing game studios so the games will become locked to the windows 10 store https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux/100867453955584444

according to the package list manjaro has finally updated to gnome 3.30 so you can @ me now

well i mean technically i would have to buy the storage device but i will take that one time fee over a monthly subscription

32gb flash drive combined with syncthing on a raspberry pi 3

free cloud storage basically

whats also neat is i can go even higher on storage space without paying for it with this method

well i got my project for this week

syncthing has a snap package and a gui flatpack talk about combining the power of flatpaks and snaps

is nextcloud any good?

what does everyone use for cloud storage?

youtube seems like it's going to be the hard one to replace
