Windows users should try to be more open minded to try Linux

nah if your a pc gamer you use windows 10. as for all the so called w10 spy/bloatware get winaero and turn it all off. I've disabled uac, defender, auto updates and many other things i don't need in w10 and it's free to download and use! just stay the fuck away from 11 :P

I had a minor issue with Linux (in general) and that was the keyboard delay e.g. "ALso" instead of "Also"

This little tool fixes this issue: https://github.com/hexvalid/Linux-CapsLock-Delay-Fixer

Anyway, read recently that Windows 11 LTSC has been leaked, I'll try that out, but it's probably inferior to 10 LTSC which I very much like.
Whoa, using capslock instead of shift for capitalizing text intermittently sounds so inefficient, I guess I could see how some people just end up typing that way regularly though. For years now I've thought of capslock as a legacy key and rebind it as a modifier for quick macros.

What's crazier is that that github README mentions that it happens in all linux distros and hasn't been fixed for years, the repo itself is crazy old. I guess there are just so few people typing that way that it goes completely ignored. Pretty sad.

I've been considering switching for a while, but I don't really want to re-download 2 terabytes of files, and possibly lose some files that I forget before wiping my drive.

I have dual-bootes into Linux before for a science fair project before, and I enjoyed it mostly.

No point in sticking to one OS like if it was an exclusive cult, since dual-boot (or simply having more than one PC) allows you to taste both. And while I love Linux (mostly stick to flavorless distros like Debian/Arch), for the average user Windows is still less of a headache. If only people bothered to debloat their installs or "got" the appropriate Windows editions instead of Home versions...

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM

  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
