Ah, I was there just yesterday, had a pint with the frankfurt server 03, the poor thing said 01 won’t talk to it anymore. Very sad.

Ehm, mullvad.

My gaming rig is on arch because i need the aur. I use my gaming rig for a bit of development too, dependencies are super easy on arch.

All my laptops, work and personal, run fedora kde because its rock solid and has the best “just works” features while still being a technical distro.

My servers are either alpine because its lightweight and easy to harden, debian for the stability and minimalism. I do have a few arch servers, but those are for testing and they get spun up, do the work they need and then killed.

DietPi for my raspberry because its debian based and has a plethora of automations to do what ever you like with your raspberry. Works on desktop too, well.

Lastly, mint, on my surface pro 5, because it is my obe device that is meant to just browse and be a portal into the internet or to play some movie or something while we are out for vacations or stuff like that.

There are many other distros that I like and use, but I use these the most. I love how each linux distro has its stregths and weaknesses, each their own usecase, you get to finetune what you need to make your life easier.

I will never understand what is rough. Ive been using fedora kde for what … 2-3 years now? More?

2 years ago there were some issues with nvidia, but that is fixed now mostly.

I use it for work, there is an ocasional hiccup, that gets fixed next reboot, something like a terminal not resizing just right but … thats it?

People dont like change man, in the day and age when tech changes at breakneck speed, people dont like change

I’ll just wait for the shit to roll downhill on this one. Fool me once … I have my popcorn ready.

Used one for about a year. No. I play stuff online alot, so its important to me. No slowdowns. It has nothing to do with your ping.

Opnsense, pfsense, adguard home, pi-hole. Look into them, start caring about your privacy. Not because you have nothing to hide, but because one day your data might be used against you.

If you ever want to self host … psono is always an option, but it has a hairy setup.

As a former sysadmin, there is plenty of logic in saying that. I have debugged countless systems that were using systemd, yet somehow the openrc ones just chug along. In the server space systemd is a travesty.

In the desktop space however, i much prefer systemd. Dev environments as well. So yes thst is where “it’s fine”. More than fine, needed!

I just hate this black and white view of the world, I cant stand it. Everything has its place, on servers you want as small a software footprint as possible, on desktop you want compatibility.

This right here is why i moved to a single display setup.

I’m one of those morons that really hates himself so is running systems that are highly optimized (hardened, custom kernels, no systemd) and all I can say, yes, mint cheff’s kiss

NOOOOOOO! Shit! Ah, for the love of cthulu … damnit!

Sigh … this just bummed me out. Thanks for the info.

Errr … fine. I have a bias. I didnt like fortnite. I grew up playing twitch shooters like quake and UT. The most important things that mattered back then was movement, positioning and ofcourse, aim.

Aim was a huge huge part, back then the input was as analog as it got. Nowadays I feel like raw aim has taken a step back, while still being important, It is not THE diferentiating factor any longer, especially in games like fortnite.

I’m bitter about that because my mechanical skill is still up there even as an older dude, but in todays games everyone runs circles around me, especially in games like fortnite.

I miss the arena shooters, the raw input feel of 1:1 of the analog days. But I guess I’m just another older guy screaming at a cloud.

Fortnite is to UT, like a Dacia is to a porsche.

I’ve been saying this for ages. Golf courses need to go the way of the dodo.

I get the “sport” but if you ever go over some places on google earth, they stand out like a sore thumb.

There is barely any affordable housing, but sure, lets keep our neighborhood-sized opulence “parks”, that a few rich people can take advantage of sometimes.

Get fucked by a cactus.

Ah yes, the faux techies. This happens for alot to the technical niches. Wouldn’t pay it any mind. Downvote and move on.

What the royal shitballs are you on about?! Grinding creates sparks from friction, have you never used a damn anglegrinder?
