Linux is free and open source software ecosystem. It’s like handing people free brushes, canvases and paints - sure, removing the financial hurdles may enable talents otherwise unable to afford indulging their artistic streak, but you also can’t really prevent anyone from painting awful bullshit. Best you can do is not give them attention or a platform to advertise their stuff on.
That’s the price of freedom: It also extends to assholes. We can’t start walling off Linux, so the best we can do is individually wall them off from our own life and hope enough other people around us do it too.
You seem really invested in pointing out those shortcomings. I respect that.

I like that. I’m fond of sib(-ling) personally, but that one is funny too
it’s now 18:53, and while I respect that it seems nonsensical when parsed as a number, I find 1853 more convenient to write on mobile (and it does save two keystrokes on keyboard too).
Miss me with that “1-1=12” shit.
The difference between a million and a billioj is about one billion. Millionaires aren’t the biggest bloodsuckers by a long shot, so the focus right now is on damage control by opposing the parasites.
I studied CompSci, so a very technical field, and with one exception (Power BI), everything I used ran on Linux just as well. For my Thesis, I used TeXStudio. For normal writing or presentations, I just used LibreOffice. For calculations, I used Python. For collaborative document editing, we used Google Docs.
Word of caution: LibreOffice supports the various formats of MS Office, but I’ve had issues the other way around, where a presentation I created in LO wouldn’t work in MSO. If you need to collab on files together, I’d recommend Google Docs. If it’s just you, I recommend sending PDF versions along with (or instead of) the original file, just to be sure.
Burst layoffs to polish up earnings reports are “fine” (in terms of stocks), but hemorrhaging workers when your company is already in hot water for product quality complaints smells of “We’re really desperate to make our reports not look devastating”. From a stupid monkey brain point of view, it sounds like they’re throwing sailors overboard to avoid sinking and I wouldn’t want to be a passenger and risk being next, so I’d try to sell what shares I have before they’re worthless.
I don’t know what heuristics professional traders go with, but I imagine they would follow a more complex and nuanced logic along those same lines. Either way, if enough people do that, it compounds.
The axis is cut off below 6, so the difference between the columns’ size isn’t representative of the actual scale
AFAIK there is support for EAC in Proton now, as that was required for Elden Ring. But there probably is some work to do still on the devs’ part, and if they’re not willing to invest that time for what so far is still a niche…
It’s a bit of a self-perpetuating problem, like all cases of platform inertia: People are reluctant to switch, so unless the draw to the alternative becomes strong enough, they’re more likely to stay. But for the alternative to become appealing, more people would need to switch.
It’s the same reason many people aren’t leaving Twatter: If you want to reach many people, you’ll want to be in the place with many people.
Anti-Cheat is a bitch, special sound setups not working out of the box is a shame, and it certainly isn’t a complete replacement for all use cases.
But the performance issues are definitely not universal, and claiming that anyone who uses it as daily driver is delusional overshoots the mark of criticism and into pointless insults.
Fuck me, I guess - All the fun I’ve had the last two years wasn’t actually real? I only thought I was having a good time? Why didn’t you tell me back then so I could have been appropriately miserable!
I’ve got an RTX 3060 with a Ryzen 5 5600X, running Nobara as my sole OS and I’m playing plenty of games just fine. I can’t say that I’ve ever had to do any tinkering to get BG3 to run, and when I recently decided to replay AC Odyssey, it ran smoothly out of the box.
Granted, sound issues can be annoying, but it’s not like there are no guides for setting up 5.1 with pulseaudio or pipewire. Yes, it’s some tinkering, and I agree that it would be nice if it ran out of the box.
But if plenty of people around you have theirs working fine, calling them all delusional because yours doesn’t is kinda stupid.
“Could it be that I’m doing something wrong? No, it’s the linux gamers that are wrong!”
You haven’t provided any info about your partition scheme for either drive, but I assume you’ve got your bootloader installed in an EFI partition in the newer drive. You will still have an EFI partition on the old drive created by the Ubuntu installer, so just be sure you know which bootloader you’re using.
Yes, the new drive has a boot partition mounted to /boot/efi
, according to the Disks utility.
It’s not clear what issues you’re worried about, but if you’re nervous about breaking the Ubuntu installation[…]
Actually, that’s a good point. I’m expecting to get rid of the installation anyway, so I don’t need to worry about breaking anything there.
It’s not clear to me what the goal of option 3 is
Same as option 2, avoiding breaking a system I’m getting rid of anyway.
Thanks for pointing out the errors in my line of thought!
I feel like you are overthinking this
Yes, most certainly, but given my own inexperience I figured I’d rather overthink than fuck up because I didn’t know about some detail.
Take special attention to the /boot partition. I don’t know which drive the bootloader for your nobora os is installed. It may have been automatically put together with your Ubuntu to your HDD.
Fairly sure the boot partition is on the new SSD, but I’ll check and leave it untouched if I’m not sure.
Thanks for your advice!
At the point he’s talking to me, it’s too late for stealth. Besides “Mace to the Face” has a much more personal touch. Alternatively, stab him with a dagger and yell “sic semper arrogantibus!”
For those that don’t know: The assassination of Julius Caesar was done with daggers and accompanied by the declaration “Sic semper tyrannis”, meaning “Such [will] always [happen to] tyrants”. I’ve just replaced tyrannus with arrogans, which unsurprisingly is the ancestor for the modern “arrogant”.
It should be noted that “tyrants” didn’t quite share our contemporary definition and simply referred to autocratic rulers that had come to that power through non-constitutional means, and had no inherent valuation. A general staging a coup and usurping control could be a “good” tyrant if they were popular.
The Roman conspirators’ concern wasn’t necessarily with Caesar being a cruel warmonger, but with him twisting a tool designed for a short, crisis-time intervention to effectively supplant the Senate’s and the ruling elites’ control. The Republic was a useful system for those wealthy enough to afford entering a political career, so one of them holding all the power was understandably unpalatable.
