Remember: Stealing from big, evil corporations is morally correct.

If you’re referring to the USB thing, I also tried booting Memtest86, GParted and Ubuntu to test, and all of them booted from a live USB without me having to unplug everything. That was totally unique to Pop_OS.

As for the proton, I’ll try that fork. I did try a couple forks, though the latest Wine-GE is the only one I can think of the name of.

Edit: I’m using Lutris, and Wine-GE is the non-steam equivalent of Proton-GE, so… whomp whomp I guess

Generally good, but fairly troublesome. I dualboot Pop_OS!, and the install was a nightmare. The live USB wouldn’t boot until I unplugged every USB device. Once it started, I could plug them back in. Then, when actually installing, the info about the various partitions I would need was apparently pretty out of date (recommend partition sizes were way off).

Once installed, though, it’s been really nice, albeit a fair bit more complicated. The only real issue I’ve had so far is that, in Unity games run through wine, video streamed in-game won’t play.

As soon as I heard of the mere plan to do this, I ditched Chromium altogether and went back to Firefox. Ultimately, I landed on the fork Floorp.

If you dont pay a cent you have like nothing to complain

Disagree. Trojans are totally free, and I feel I have plenty to complain about there.

Dorsey was on a tear yesterday, unfollowing all but three accounts on X while referring to Elon Musk’s platform as “freedom technology.”

Ah, I see. He went insane.

I don’t know if I’d call him evil. It was basically a giant moron getting his first taste of power alongside a massive pile of cocaine. No way it could ever go well.

Tried Ubuntu a few years back. Snap was a big part of why I dropped it. Started using Pop_OS last year, and while it’s still not my main driver (mostly because of gaming issues), I split my time between it and windows pretty evenly.

Those uncrustables,though delicious, cost way more than they’re worth. You would spend as much, maybe even less, on peanut butter and jelly in jars, which would obviously last much longer.

a sufficiently large rock will affect the performance of any Hi-Fi equipment.

I think you followed the instructions perfectly.

Pretending the actual goal of the invasion has ever been to suppress fascism

Pretending I said anything else

🤡

And FYI, fascism is an authoritarian, totalitarian form of government generally know for suppressing opposition through force, right? Sounds a lot like RUSSIA to me.

Just an FYI, OP actually believes Russia’s “WE’rE FigHTiNg NAzIs” story. Well, or at least they pretend to for plausible deniability or some shit.

Yeah, maybe. My experience has been a multitude of hangs and flash drive rewrites. At first, I thought my flash drive might be bad, so I tried another and quickly determined that the other one was actually bad before going back to the first. Eventually, I ended up just unplugging everything out of desperation and for some reason that worked.

I’m actually still working on this as I type this, currently waiting on partition changes because, while I read that 500MiB is recommended for Pop’s boot partition, the installer has told me that it’s too small…

Since I’m still dealing with this, and given the issues I had booting the live disk, there’s a good chance this won’t even be useable in the end. I’ve used Ubuntu before, and it boots fine, but fuck if I want to deal with snap.

Edit: Went up to 750MB (yeah, MB not MiB here, easier to think about later). Still says it’s too small. Sure wish I had some detailed documentation to work with here, instead of just “use Clean Install” in the official docs and a single Reddit comment saying “500MiB is good.” That would the bee’s damned knees.

Edit 2: Works fine once installed. The live disk just would not boot with anything else plugged in for some reason.

Recommending Pop_OS! to newbies

That might just be the quickest way to make someone hate Linux forever. The glitchiest, most troublesome install I’ve ever tried to do. In the end, after two days of work just to get the damn live image to boot, the only reason I kept going was probably sunken cost falacy.

Their online tech support these days is no better. Just a maze of dead links and broken, 503-ing pages.

HP anything is a bad investment. I bought a HP gaming computer because it was on clearance for less than it’s graphics card alone, and learned that they lock the bios down to the simplest, most useless options.

It’s a twist ending because it describes a mindset far more common to conservatives, right? That’s what you’re getting at, right?

I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt here, homie.

No, you just said porn needs to be regulated and guns don’t. Pretty shit set of priorities in my book.

So you’re over here agreeing with someone who literally said they would walk into every home to confiscate anything that may allow access to porn if they could, but me calling you out for being a fascist shithead is just me taking it personally? Okay, yeah, sure buddy.
