I haven’t used threads, I just assumed it already had ads

Yeah I thought it would be a long shot but I figured i should mention it just in case, good luck finding a distro

My problem is that I want to choose when to listen to the same song a million times. When spotify gets in the loop of playing the same songs over and over, it becomes very difficult to force it to break out of it when i get tired of it. If I tell spotify to shuffle my playlist, I want spotify to shuffle my goddamn playlist

I know you said you want to use KDE, but Pop is actually working on their own DE, called Cosmic, to be released with the 24.04 version. It’s currently still in alpha, so it’s far from finished, but if you’re trialing other distros anyway I don’t think it would hurt to boot it up and explore it (at least for a few minutes)

About the second point, your pc shouldn’t be putting any resources towards a VM if it isn’t active. Just shut it down, close it, and play games on your host as normal.

One more thing, I’m assuming you’re doing your gaming on Steam. Check ProtonDB for all of your games to see if they work on Linux (protondb only lists steam games, so if you have games as well, I’ve found a google search usually does the trick). You might find that you don’t even need a VM

They don’t, that quote is talking about the steam survey, which allows steam to read what OS the user is using. The point OP is making is that the only reason W11 is more popular than W10 is because Microsoft is forcing the update

I mean, they are trying to build a twitter alternative, aren’t they?

Yes, exactly

Pikachu eating ryujinx (which just got taken down today)

I have, and I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it

Holy shit I just finished watching House for the first time like a month ago and I knew he looked familiar. So weird for me not to see him with any scruff or a cane

What is that fanfiction headass conversation at the end lmao

New desktop environment being made by the guys who make PopOS. It is currently in alpha version 2

Fellow Linux noob, just started using it earlier this year so if someone with more experience wants to weigh in, please do.

That said, gaming on Linux is pretty good. Steam’s proton makes most games playable out of the box, although it’s still a good idea to check Proton DB to see if any particular game you want to play is playable.

As for your other question, I’m not totally sure what you mean by accessible and customizable, but I don’t think any of your peripherals are going to be distro locked. The Arch Wiki is a pretty good resource for, well, everything, but most relevant to you for your peripherals (it also usually gives good information for any distro, not just arch)

Nah, Bitwarden is what I use. It has a free tier and a paid tier for $10/year that adds some extra features. You can read about both on their website.

You can also autofill on mobile and desktop with the mobile app and browser extension respectively (the mobile app also let’s you autofill in any app that requires a login, which is nice)

I recommend going for a password manager. Bitwarden (and probably every other modern password manager) let’s you import passwords from a file and Firefox let’s you export all your passwords as a file. All you have to do is take your FF passwords and chuck them into your password manager of choice

I love Proton and will advocate for it any chance I get, but I can also see that it might be good to have people like you who don’t put all their eggs in one basket

Serious question about this argument. Try translating tenths of inches… to what? I assume you’re not talking about converting to metric because then any unit is problematic, and if you’re using tenths of an inch then you’re using inches, not something else, so… what’s the problem?

Can you explain why you don’t recommend GNOME? I installed Pop when I built my first PC about a month ago and I haven’t noticed anything problematic

Ok but aren’t Tiktok and Musically literally the same app?

Look, I can see where you’re coming from even if I don’t agree with you, however

Almost all people who didn’t vaccinate against covid are still alive and well you know.

This is a straight up lie. Where the fuck have you been the last 4 years? Many people died, and many of those who didn’t have lasting issues.
