I completely forgot but apparently I joined Lemmy exactly one year ago lol

I don’t know how or why, but I get absolutely atrocious stuttering while playing games on X11 that simply doesn’t occur with Wayland, so X is just not an option for me.

I’m not technically inclined at all, so the most duct tapey thing I can remember was hacking Gnome to use Nemo as my file browser instead of Gnome’s default file browser once.

Best part is it doesn’t have microtransactions or kernel anti-cheat like what Ubisoft will certainly stick onto the new Driver game either.

Use any you want. I’ve been mounting my internal secondary hard drive on /mnt for well over a year now and haven’t had any problems. Previously, I mounted it on ~/Storage and it also worked fine (though only because I’m the only user in my computer; dual-user systems would result in the other user being unable to access the hard drive).

I get what you mean. I see a decent chunk of often more tech-proficient Linux users putting down Linux Mint, and it saddens me because even though I don’t use Mint anymore, it was still the first distro I properly daily-drove and I still consider it an amazing system for people who are new to Linux.

I’m very glad you’ve been having a good experience with Mint!

Honestly, you don’t have to worry about what others say, you should use what works best for you. Personally I find them to be nice and comfortable to use, myself 😅

I used to play Need for Speed: World back in the day, and it had a daily of its own where you’d get to collect some treasures scattered around a random district in the city; doing so would give you a random reward, and the longer you kept up a streak, the better said rewards would get.

I was a broke teenager at the time, and it was the only way I could get remotely good drops at the time, but it was really annoying to do so every day and eventually it made me feel like a slave to the game. I actually kinda felt liberated when the game shut down since it meant no longer having that responsibility, and I don’t think I ever want to get into dailies again.

Yeah, I get you :c

I use CoreCtrl to fix my GPU’s atrocious fan curve, which is a necessity since normally it overheats to high hell. With CoreCtrl, I have a nice fan curve that makes my GPU rarely, if ever, run hotter than 70°C.

Look how they massacred my boy…

Does all this also apply to distrobox? I don’t use podman, but I do use distrobox, which I think is a front-end for it, but I don’t know if the commands listed here would be the same.

I just hope the Citra forks won’t be targeted. Citra was only killed as collateral damage, but I still can’t help but be nervous anyway…

I have had a LOT of issues, but they’re mostly of the papercut variety - and most of them have to do with Plasma 6 rather than Fedora 40 itself (at least I think so).

I think my CPU is running hotter on 40 than it was on 39, though.

I’ll never forget Scatman John due to how prevalent his songs were on SM64 bloopers from the old days of Youtube.

I miss MSN Messenger… it was part of my childhood.

Can confirm (but mine is the regular trim rather than the X version).

Yes, for over a year now (since early December 2022, don’t remember the exact date).

My experiences with it seem to constantly be different than that of most users, because Wayland was a direct upgrade for me - I couldn’t play games properly on X11 at all because they would stutter and freeze really badly even when Vsync was disabled and the game reported to be running at 60 FPS, but Wayland fixed the issue altogether for me.

…Granted, I’m on an AMD card. If I was on Nvidia it’d probably be another story entirely. :x

For what it’s worth, I’ve had Linux spew similar CLI errors when booting up complaining about a critical CPU problem, when the problem actually was that it was reading data off of a dying hard-drive. (Removing said drive, as well as replacing it with a new, healthier drive, made the issue go away.)

Not saying your problem is actually a dying storage device, but that it’s possible the issue might not actually be your CPU itself.
