Yeah but remember to factor in that you probably already need a normal computer for non-game purposes so if you also use that for games you only have to buy one device not two

I think Jeff Geerling made a video trying to game on a similar arm system with mixed results. I’m sure it would work, since you can game on a Raspberry Pi using Box86/64, just probably not too well for the money

Foe the umpteenth time, stop making ai generated memes. No one wants to see them

Fedora Atomic?

I got a $12 10 inch Asus eeepc 1005ha that I have NetBSD with i3 on and it’s perfectly usable, so something similar to that would probably be fine for linux cli stuff as long as a 32 bit cpu is okay

Since sometime around Plasma 4, KDE has been the name of the organization and Plasma had been the name of the desktop.

What? People are allowed to avoid people they have serious disagreements with? You have every right to have whatever unkind opinions you want to have, but that doesn’t mean anyone is required to listen to you or like you. You’re never going to be liked by everyone in the world, but if you can hardly find anyone willing to be around you, it’s probably time to do some self refelction

There isn’t really a single “fediverse” that decides what’s “allowed”. What your fediverse is depends on where your account is and who they’re federated with. You’re perfectly free to say whatever you want on your own instance and talk to the other people on instances willing to federate with you. The thing is, being mean to people who have done nothing to harm you tends to make you pretty unpopular and make people not want to interact with you, that’s why instances that encourage that tend to not be federated with very many popular instances.

I’m not sure about the sims 1, but my original copies of 2 and 3 work fine for me in wine on linux, so if you’re on windows maybe you would be able to run your copy using boxedwine? Also maybe running the normal version of wine in WSL could work

I mean yeah but why would anyone want to pay more for a new digital copy of a game instead of just buying a used physical copy? I mean I guess maybe if you didn’t have an optical drive, but I bet a usb optical drive and an original copy would be cheaper than the new digital version

There’s actually a hack to make sync automatic, I’ve been using it and it works perfectly https://github.com/draumaz/kdeconnectbidirectionalclipboard

Does Windows not run the originals anymore? My original copy of the Sims 2 works perfectly fine in Wine so it’s not like it depends on some weird online service or something

I bought one last summer and the only problems I’ve had were some display issues which were solved by adding kernel parameters to disable all of the amdgpu power management (which as far as I can tell doesn’t even increase power usage noticeably). Other than that it has been basically perfect and way better than any other laptop I’ve had. I wish it had real suspend, but that’s just not possible on modern CPUs so that’s not Framework’s fault

I mean yeah but you don’t need an expensive computer to play games. In the mid 2010s I spent loads of time playing games on my ~$200 something Asus netbook, and more recently I was using an old Dell Precision from 2011 I got for $25 and put a $75 GPU into from like 2018 until 2023.

I guess maybe the difference is that people who don’t buy expensive consoles or computers also don’t buy expensive games. For the most part I don’t buy things unless they have a sale for like under $30, so even though I’ve bought a lot of games I’ve probably paid less total money for games than the average console player.

Huh, I’m kind of surprised that’s a new thing. I would assume way more people own computers than consoles in modern times so you would think that would always mean more sales

If you can milk an almond, surely you can milk a cheese

I’m not sure how underrated it is but the exec feature in find is so useful, there are so many bulk tasks that would just be incredibly difficult otherwise but instead are just one line

Interesting, I would absolutely hate using something like that for actual use but it does seem like it could be useful for like demonstrations and documentation

The filename rules are so weird, it’s not just illegal characters, sometimes the position of the character matters. I discovered a while ago that while windows has no problem with dots in filenames, for some reason they can never be the last character in the name

I think the current microsoft version of solitaire has microtransactions and ads so is actually significantly worse
