looks at PC “Are you ready champ?” - Me
**I’ve never been more ready. ** - My PC
I literally presented the first draft for switching to linux at the company I work for, today…
Just for clarification: with these style of posts, am i supposed to read the bottom one first? I can’t remember when these types of posts came into circulation, but I’ve been puzzled about them ever since. It’s like the first/top line is sometimes the punchline, and i feel like i spoiled a joke or story by reading it from top to bottom.
The user that screenshooted it had the bottom post selected, that’s why it’s bigger. However, top to bottom is the normal chronological order, see how they mention the other one to respond in the second and third posts.
Sometimes screencaps of xitter posts look like the repost the original post is below, and the repost’s comments are above. It’s really annoying, and makes it hard to tell on other screencaps where it should be obvious that it’s read top-down.
This is a mastodon post.
I realize that, what I said was that the prevalence of posts (mostly from xitter) that read bottom to top creates the situation where it’s not automatically obvious at a glance that a post should be ready from top-down anymore. Hence the confusion of the commenter above.
I was explaining why they had to ask, not wondering why this post is read top-down.
That happens when someone “quotes” a tween instead of responding to it. This is not twitter technically tho.
Right, but it creates this situation where now it isn’t always obvious at a glance that a screencapped conversation should be read from top down. That’s why the commenter above had to ask.
The week of the Linux Desktop is everyday
(playing my games on linux)
I’m doing my part!very impressed with linux gaming now
my last try was 10+ years ago
games are literally running better on my (getting) tired desktop, and I play Grim Fandango on a Ryzen 3 laptop with 4Gb Ram which could barely boot windoze
I play Grim Fandango on a Ryzen 3 laptop with 4Gb Ram
Grim Fandango Remastered, right? 'Cause it’s not exactly impressive if its the original, give-or-take WINE maintaining compatibility with old Win9x libraries…
I’ve been meaning to get around to playing that game for almost 30 years, and the remastered version for 10.
yes, re-mastered. It was on sale for like $3
I had heard about it back in the day, but never played
How is it? It’s a point and click isnt it?
it’s lucasarts’ best point and click, except maybe LOOM. it’s funny, it has heart, it’s not too obtuse. my wife who really only got into stardew and a few other games loved it
With bony hands I hold my partner,
on soulless feet we cross the floor,
the music stops as if to answer,
an empty knocking at the door.Not only games, but programs too. Ive been able to find exactly what ive looked for, or something just as good for now pretty much all the time.
And yeah games are running better than on my win10 pc.
My nvidia card doesn’t work properly on linux :(
Which card? There’s a few distros that handle installing the drivers for you (Nobara and Bazzite spring to mind)
If it’s an issue of outdated hardware it can be tricky but doable. I have an old Thinkpad with an Nvidia Quadro K2000 that I got working with MX Linux without too much hassle
It’s more that ray tracing and path tracing are wildly inefficient.
Tomorrow, I will pick up a second, empty, work notebook. I am part of a small group that implements a user driven Linux support in our 6k employee group.
We will make it more then a week, I promise :)
Pride flag yet excluding laptop users.

The L in LGBT is for laptop
i am confuse i thought it was Lettuce Gay Bacon and Tomato
Got it wrong, L is for lalaland
Been using it for a couple of decades now. It just keeps getting better. You can’t say that about many things these days.
I’ve been having that classic moment for the last 3 months since switching at home:
“Can you hear that?”
“What?”
“Silence.”
PipeWire not working?
could be, but probably referring to no notifications, fan noise, and/or HDD clicking
Do people on Lemmy not know what a joke is?
that’s why I said could be
probably forgot to pacman -S humor
On my PC, for some time now, every week is “week of the Linux desktop”. My user experience only got better since I ditched microslop.
Honestly, this is such a great idea. Get the IT team to create a bootable distro with all the apps the average user needs. Have a video they can watch to get the basics down, have IT available to install one-off software.
At the end of the week give people the choice to keep going or go back to Windows/Mac and get feedback.
Try again in a couple of quarters.
Most people use web-based apps anyway.
I don’t think a week is long enough
In honor of this week of the Linux desktop I updated my Arch system. Will update again for the next week of the Linux desktop. Keepe in the loop!
Do you only update once per week? Doesn’t sound very Arch.
I’m not lazy I’m, uhh, mitigating supply chain attacks.
Tried again last weekend to install and play “Strange Antiquities” on linux mint. Again - as expected - shit wouldn’t work.
Linux people say their shitty software works, but it actually doesn’t. And they’re to antisocial to come together and work united on 1 distro and 1 distro only to make it better for everyone.

Skill issue?
Kind of like what most of the Windows complaints are on here.
Skimmed your history to see if there was any indication of what your hardware/setup was. Slim on details beyond “Linux mint with an old/underpowered CPU”, but I happen to have a Linux Mint machine with an astonishingly bad CPU (Pentium Gold 4425Y, 2 cores, 1.7GHz) and only 4GB of RAM, so I decided to give it a spin.
Downloaded the demo from steam, changed nothing, hit play, game launched just fine and got to the main menu, but crashed to desktop trying to actually start the game. Tried a bit of tinkering, no dice.
Did run just fine with no tinkering on two other more powerful machines though.
work united on 1 distro and 1 distro only to make it better for everyone
Can’t wrap your head around multiple specialized distros existing, or what’s the issue?
Huh? Game works fine on my Steam Deck and my Bazzite laptop. Using regular Proton without having to change anything.
Strange, it’s verified on steam so it should work with no problem, did you try forcing compatibility tools in game properties?

Starting my third week of the Linux Desktop. I’ve never been so happy to switch DE’s as I am this time, and without a dual boot option for windows to claw itself back. Goodbye forever, Windows. My new DE is Fedorable
