Or push it to a file, just in general. That way if something goes tits up you can still check it later.

Which distro

Do you do AI stuff?

I’ve heard NVidia is better for AI

For gaming, you’ll probably not notice a difference. If anything, you’ll be happy due to not having to wrestle NVidia Linux Drivers :P

SuSE Slowroll. Not rolling release. Also not super-conservative like Debian is.

minor spelling mistake

Yoshi and Kirby respectively

I just think they’re neat.

Might be me, I have mostly been emulating for the past month. And that only goes through the steam client on the deck

I wouldn’t know, but since OP is having compatibility issues, I’d try to get as close to native as I could. Eliminate the room-for-error. Hence the VM with actual Windows.

They can just delete the lot after they’ve converted their files to an opener format. :P

(these count as piracy, but yes, they work well and are reliable)

I will agree with the people suggesting “VM and a pirated copy”

Just get like office 2010 and windows 7 off of the web, run it in a VM, convert the files, dump it all.

When they were a kid and therefore couldn’t recognise political messaging due to not knowing what politics are.

What I’m saying is that literally 100% of “I miss the good old times when things weren’t political” people are just longing to return to their childhood innocence, where they could just enjoy things thoughtlessly, but also lack the self awareness to admit that.

I tried using virt-manager+kvm to try some stuff out the other day but I failed to set-up some crucial things. Probably me being incompetent.

Not like virtualization is a big part of my life anyway. I just wanted to try some other distros and such without rebooting.

If I were to get serious about virtualization I’d need to build a new PC with a second GPU. Then I could stop dual-booting and do everything with VMs. But it’d only be worth it to get serious about learning how to virtualize stuff if I were to do that.

Idk, exFAT is meant to be compatible with more stuff than NTFS. If I ever decide to hook this HDD up to a console or smartTV to play the videos I have on it, it is guaranteed to work.

Btrfs main boot drive

Xfs main storage drive

exFAT external “archive” drive (easy to connect to Windows machines if ever I need my backup in someone else’s windows machine in an emergency and such)

Do the Mario RPGs count

I like the timing-based mechanics because they make the fights feel less like glorified menus. Sure menu-based fights can be strategic and entertaing, but sooner or later you’ll end up in grind city just mashing the confirm button to see number go up. Not a thing in the likes of Paper Mario and Bug Fables.

What will you be studying?

When I did CompSci (before dropping out anyway), Linux was actually the recommended setup.

When I switched to Communications, I pushed on with Linux for a long while – MSOffice wasn’t really a thing? Professors and colleagues alike all used GSuite, which runs in browser and is therefore OS-agnostic. Nobody cared what I was using, we all just wrote stuff in Google Docs. (that said, if everyone around IS using MSOffice, then in my experience, stuff translates between Word and LibreOffice pretty well? There’s a little bit of derping around with PowerPoint ig, but word documents were seamless afaic. ALSO it should be noted that if you have to use M$ stuff, Office365 has a completely functional WebApp :P)

I did a lot of graphical work on GIMP and Inkscape.

Buuuuuuut eventually we got to like. Video and compositing related stuff. And much as I’d like to, nothing on Linux can even come close to what Premiere and After Effects can do. A lot of my professors had Macs, but even if I wanted a Mac, I couldn’t afford one. (neither could 95% of my colleagues) So I had to set up Windows. Though it should be noted that since I live in Brazil, my professors encouraged & helped us with pirating the Adobe suite lmao.

I actually kept using GIMP/Inkscape on Windows for graphics stuff, simply because I didn’t want to relearn all the keyboard shortcuts for Photoshop/Illustrator.

Anyway now that I’ve graduated and mostly do writing (worked at a news site, now trying for a job as copywriter at an ad agency), I still keep my Windows install around just in case^tm but have not logged into it in like a year.

It should also be noted that, at least here in Brazil, Canva has consumed like 80% of the market for graphical work. They never ask for Photoshop experience anymore, they ask for Canva. It’s weird to me because they have totally different vibes, with Canva having all those presets and shit, but it is what it is. :P

Watching the discussion here I finally get how it feels like to be a centrist. And it feels dirty.

Anyway, good for them, or whatever. Hyprland was a’ight when I tested it, even if it ain’t my thing. Still hoping for a Wayland Compositor that gives an XFCE-type experience (that is to say, UX without Gnome’s ‘opinionated’ weirdness, and without all the fancy effects that Plasma has. Relatively lighter, also looks a bit retro)

Finally

ClosedSUSE

Glad I’m not the only chronically immature person here

TacGpook

If I ever make my own niche fedi instance I’m naming it that. The opposite of Facebook

Here’s hoping valve will tell them to go eat a fat dick.
