who made you the fun police

I just try to channel Gramsci:

“You must realize that I am far from feeling beaten…it seems to me that… a man out to be deeply convinced that the source of his own moral force is in himself — his very energy and will, the iron coherence of ends and means — that he never falls into those vulgar, banal moods, pessimism and optimism. My own state of mind synthesises these two feelings and transcends them: my mind is pessimistic, but my will is optimistic. Whatever the situation, I imagine the worst that could happen in order to summon up all my reserves and will power to overcome every obstacle.”

and this dude was dying in a fascist prison and able to hold this outlook. i find it inspiring

protonDB is my go-to and most people on there seem to be having a pretty smooth experience with it! it is fun!

? rivals works fine on my machine on Nobara. it has a Linux compatible anti-cheat.

i have faith this will be resolved eventually/they will have to admit kernel anticheat isn’t even meaningfully more effective and give up on it. anyway loads of people don’t play multiplayer AAA so it’s a no brainer already for them. as the mass of people migrating continues to grow devs/publishers hopefully will have to catch up. 2% of the steam hardware survey is linux now, it could be 5% within the decade. that’s my optimistic outlook, i know i shouldn’t underestimate how out of touch the epic games suits etc. are though

i got around this by opening cmd (Shift + F10) during the setup and disabling the network adapter.

wmic nic get name, index

wmic path win32_networkadapter where index = 2 call disable

index will be 1 or 2 probably depending on your setup it was 2 for me. this worked for me recently on boxes on fedora with a win10 iso.

lol

putting trump in the top 5 is lib shit

idk if you’re having the same issue but unborking my $PS1 fixed this for me. left right arrow keys should let you edit the command.

yeah I think you’re supposed to be able to but it seems borked for me too. my terminal kinda freaks out when I try to move the cursor to the right to edit the command.

edit the borking was for sure because i had a broken custom $PS1. i reset it to something normal and i’m able to edit the commands pulled up with Ctrl + R just fine now by hitting the right arrow key.

not sure if it’s what you’re looking for but on my Konsole (I think it’s actually just a bash feature), Ctrl+R lets you search through your command history and easily pull up past commands. it’s called reverse-i-search if you wanna check it out.

i found endeavor to be nicer than Manjaro but tbh I’m at the stage where i just recommend installing arch. it’s gotten a lot easier. endeavor is also arch based though so I’d go with that if you want super easy install / extra stuff installed ootb

its ok to vilify straightness hope this helps. you are not oppressed in any way for being straight lmao. this is the “complaining about anti-white racism” of misunderstanding sexuality power dynamics. queer people are telling you to shut up and you’re doubling down on your chauvinism, consider you suck!

explains it better than i could, hope this helps

well it’s a fairly addictive drug and physical and psychological dependency can creep up on you. your life can begin to revolve around the next joint at a certain point and it can make you apathetic to a depressive routine of not going out much or pushing yourself to do anything other than play videogames and smoke. some people will attest that it aids motivation for them but i find the inverse to be more common. in terms of purely physical detrimental effects it’s definitely nbd compared to cigs or alcohol, but knock-on effects from ending up in a sedentary lifestyle and eating poor quality food can be a concern with heavy users, it can also exacerbate depression or anxiety with heavy dependency. you can end up depending on it just to go to the store or do social interaction or even pull yourself out of bed. speaking as a 10+ year stoner who has had better and worse periods with this stuff. ultimately it’s a massive reduction in harm compared to say alcohol dependency but people definitely underrated the damage it could do for a while, up until a few years ago where that started seeing some healthy pushback. it obviously has legitimate medicinal applications too but ime self medication can spiral into recreational dependency quite easily.
