One of my machines i’ve been just upgrading in place since debian 8. No need for new installation

Debian isn’t barbaric at all.

I’ll give that a try. I actually never figured out scanning on linux

Brother printers have a good reputation in the linux world. Not sure what the current status is… My printer is over 15 yrs old

OSS is a corporate lie. What you are describing is free software. Freedom to modify and distribute

Yeah, just like OP, i just wanted to go to school, explore the castle, and skip class once on a while

Instead, a lot of the game is just running around murdering goblins. And my character is a total psycho… Just gleefully wiping people out with UNFORGIVABLE CURSES, WTF… using a curse is enough to land you in azkaban. Yet my character is just openly firing these curses off with impunity and the game seemingly doesnt give you any feedback that this is wrong, nor any deterrents. (Maybe there are some consequences later?? I put the game down for a while because the constant combat was too much for me)

Also, kidnapping animals, and putting them in your zoo so that you can harvest magical materials from them. How is that any better than the poachers???

Kids are going to have a warped sense of morality after playing this game

Does the boot screen look ok? Does the login screen look ok?

I had a problem with my new 9070 on debian KDE, and the issue was with color accuracy setting

We arent that far behind. I’ve had to pay for tons of private services out of pocket here in quebec.

Basic shit like dermatology and MRIs

(Is debian considered a “debian-based” distro?)

Debian users, ignore the above. Debian explicity warns against using ubuntu ppa

The correct way to get libreoffice in debian is just to apt install libreofffice… It’s already in the main debian repos

Should have done the voices in italian with subtitles

Got back into crusader kings 3. Reformed the old basque religion. Trying not to piss off the catholics and muslims that now surround me.

No, the CIA was selling drugs in latin america…

Iraq was invaded twice

My guess is iran

What about speedtree???

I thought i had a pretty good radar for AI slop these days, but this one slipped past my heuristics.

What tipped you off?

On closer inspection, the meteors are a clue. AI doesnt seem to know that the foreground characters should occlude them.

Any other obvious ones?

My desktop has been running debian for 5 years no problem including 2 major debian version upgrades, and a new(er) GPU.

I had an old laptop that ran the same debian install for 8 years. All upgrades in place, no reinstalls.

boring, and works. Stable + backports should cover the majority of people with new hardware support needs.

When you say “unrecoverable” do you mean the graphical desktop didnt load? Or you couldnt even log in to the terminal?

A lot of newbies assume that not getting to a graphical session means the OS is dead and nuke it and start over. When in a lot of cases, you can just switch to the command line and troubleshoot or roll back the broken drivers

Just for future reference if you try linux again

Read the post above mine… “Privacy respecting options” are almost always downstream forks of firefox. Abandon/kill the source, and downstream dries up

This needs to be higher up. We need firefox as an alternative to a chrome engine monopoly. ToS and telemetry are miniscule issues compared to what we are up against

Firefox is literally the last thing standing between google controlling the entire browser landscape and having control over all web standards (as if they dont already have too much influence)

People ditching firefox over tos, telemetry, AI, CEO pay, etc. are cutting off their nose to spite their face. Do i wish mozilla would stop doing stupid shit? Of course. But the alternative is far worse. Dont let perfect be the enemy of good. Mozilla will never be as ideologically pure as we want them to be, but that’s OK (for now)
