I never understood why we moved away from “trunk”.

Just make sure you put it on the right disk, if you go that route ;)

Depending on how grub was installed, you might need to boot a live environment just to tell your new mobo about it. You can skip chrooting if your live media has efibootmgr and you can figure out how to use it, but if that fails you can always chroot and install grub fresh.

Also, it might just work.

Hot take: Go with Gentoo. Dive into the deep end, manually install your system from the command line. It doesn’t get more configurable. You’ll be forced t o learn a bunch of stuff tho. But it’s not that hard.

If you take this seriously, my advice would be to not go overboard with global USE flags, and keep your CFLAGS standard.

Or go for something like Arch. Maybe CachyOS (tho I hear this has a lot of optimisations that are described as “yolo”…)

AMD graphics work better than nvidia still, but things are getting better, so if you’re with team green you might have to replace that or you might have no real problems.

Most games just work. Even stuff with anti-cheat isn’t necessarily out (e.g. Helldivers 2, War Thunder and Star Citizen are games with anti-cheat that I play). Best to check protondb if in doubt.

I like words to have meaning, so… they’re right? But also that’s still bad! (Unless you manage to go through your whole life being attracted to minors without ever acting on it, I guess. In which case, good for you. Sucks you got dealt that shitty hand but well done doing the best despite it.)

I’m sure it could. Unless they change it up, they’re all gonna be on the same architecture, and modern consoles have what amounts to an OS.

Will it? I dunno, I doubt it somehow.

Arch (or Gentoo) will teach you linux. :)

Maybe brics will bring us an alternative to visa/mastercard… :P

I still recall to this day, one of my university tutors talking about the C fastmath compiler directive: “I do not need a computer to arrive very, very quickly at the wrong answer; I can do that myself.”

It’s good to see that with applications of modern comp-sci we have graduated to arriving very, very slowly and at great expense at the wrong answer.

Yeah, I used to use -U but I prefer -N personally. I like the system to be consistent with what it would be from a fresh build.

sudo emerge -avuDN world

As a linux gamer, I agree…

Trying to enforce security on a machine you don’t own is ultimately fruitless, no matter how far you go with it.

I use it for some things. It’s good for file batch processing, for example. I could probably do those things in python but I use C# and powershell at work so I know .net better.

Stripe is currently unable to support sexually explicit content due to restrictions placed on them by their banking partners

How deep does this rabbit hole go? Will the banks eventually claim they’re fine with porn but are being restricted by the illuminati or something?

I beg your pardon, what? None of those things are true of Australia.

I don’t like it either and they’re from my country. I also don’t like when America exports its bullshit either, mind you.

Hard to say without having used Arch. I just really like Portage. It does some really neat things.

It’s a shame, but unsurprising. Especially with everyone addicted to live service skinner boxes now and a certain someone insisting live services would cease to exist overnight if this went anywhere.

Perhaps they’re hoping to stop people from going to linux for gaming. PC gaming has certainly not hurt their stranglehold on the top OS spot.
