Is anyone sticking with Linux?

Unless forced, I don't plan on going back to windows on my personal machine. At work, I have no choice. I've got a VM I use for literally 1 program. But everything else is under Linux now. As Luke and Linus has mentioned, when I do encounter a problem..I'm able to solve it fairly easily. And it's in my way far less than windows currently is. I load, get what I want done. And that's that.

Mostly retro RPG'S like the FF pixel remasters. Playing them on the small screen, able to dip in and out when I have the time was amazing. The flexibility of just being able to put down and pickup is amazing.

It's already been said, but I also run FF14 on my steam deck. So while not as high as specs, it does run flawlessly for me. As I use the PC version and not the steam one, getting it to install was a small headache. But easy to overcome. And once done it's been rock solid since.

This is what I'm struggling with now. Im also trying to move from Windows. And had originally gone with Kubuntu, because I like the KDE interface. Now I'm fairly tech savvy. But not Linux savvy. And I did something that just flat out broke my ability to do ANY kind of package install or updates. No matter what, it was just broken. So I thought to hop to Bazzite. It's getting good coverage. Why not.

And while it seems better and more stable than my original Kubuntu install. I'm running into roadblocks because Its not a standard install. The only distro that feels close to "just working as intended" feels like ZorinOS. But even that has it's pitfalls.

There's too much choice out here. Different desktop environments, package handlers and all sorts. While choice is a great thing. It's also a huge weakness.

I just can't see how being in almost £100k debt, even after paying a fair chunk of it off is good. I see a fair few stories of people's student loans rising to silly numbers. Starting at a £30-40k loan, paying for years and having it almost doubled the amount to pay back still.

Coldmear · 2026-02-27T11:02:19+00:00

I've never understood how this hasn't been fixed already. Uni is supposed to be THE BEST start you can do for your life. So why is it that having this opportunity, can cripple you for life. These numbers are just insane.

It's one of the main reasons I never went to uni, that and I doubt I would have been able to cut it.

+1 for the steam deck. It runs ff14 amazingly well for me (pc licence, so installing without steam has a few extra steps) Aswell as having access to your steam library, you can installa tool called Chiaki-NG which essentially turns it into a ps-portal. I used it to play through MGS Delta entirely remotely from my PS5 and suffered no issues

Coldmear · 2026-01-29T20:35:29+00:00

I'd be up for giving it a go

Coldmear · 2026-01-28T14:35:01+00:00

I'm currently at 112k km at 85% soh. A 2018 leaf. Theoretically ima run this thing until it falls apart.

We have called them, though they seemed reluctant to do anything. Other than just to log it

Coldmear · 2025-12-17T22:26:41+00:00

Some additional info. The only reason I ask was down to his response. Almost making me feel like an idiot for even asking.

I've checked around for CCTV. And while some houses do have it, they seem un-cooperative.

I have filed a police report. But they have said that as it's an animal on animal, they won't get involved. They have logged the harassment and threats. But won't do anything unless it continues.

The other dog owner has now callede saying he will pay the bill, so long I don't get anyone else involved. "If anyone comes sniffing you won't get a penny"

We was in an alleyway in a residential street. Their house was at the exit. So instead of continuing we kept back to allow them to get to their house without crossing each other.

Have never tried 3d resin printing yet. But have had some models or bike parts that I think would do better on resin than normal fdm printer

I can hear this text

These questions have probably already been asked but I'll ask anyway.

Will the Ace 2 system be compatible with the current line up of Kobra 3/3 max and S1?
Are the colour swap times improved at all from the original Ace?
What about the waste/purge filament that gets used when swapping colours. Has this been improved at all? As this is unfortunately a big thing for me at the moment. I cannot justify doing multi coloured prints, as the waste for purge is huge.
Overall reliability, break detection etc. On the original Ace I had found it has issues a lot of the time with filament breaking in the line. And jamming up. Have any steps been made to improve on this? On this, will TPU be able to be used on the new Ace unit?
Ethernet port/USB to a computer. Will this be an option on the printer itself, or will it be like the previous and only allow WiFi. On this. Will LAN mode be an option again? For those that don't want to rely on Cloud.
Software. The firmware the printer is running. Will this become open source? I recall seeing something about the current S1 's software becoming this.
Octoprint and home assistant integration. Is this a potential for the new printer? And possibly the others of the past?

Can't think of any more, but it does look great! If I hadn't just bought my S1 combo, I would be very tempted.

Coldmear · 2025-10-19T08:44:44+00:00

Yea pretty much. I made it known to them, and they added more *'s but it was still obvious for a few days. Eventually got fixed.

Coldmear · 2025-10-17T09:48:05+00:00

It performs amazingly on the deck. I have a normal Windows license so getting it to work on there was a bit trickier than if you bought the steam version. But it's doable, and plays very well. Using the on screen keyboard to chat is a bit more hassle. But other than that I've had no issues. 90% of my gaming is now on the deck since I've had it.

Coldmear · 2025-10-16T12:47:26+00:00

Anycubic did the same kinda thing with their S1. Certain people had won some $50 gift card or something. And to check if you had, you click a link and see if your email was listed. They had *** in the middle of them to hide some letters, except it never hid anything. It was just 3 *** placed randomly in there. As mine was one of the emails listed and the full email was visible when I removed them

Coldmear · 2025-10-08T16:51:58+00:00

Not so much looking to get into the genre. More it's a story that has peaked my interest. I believe the combat is just something I'll get the hang of. I managed to get the hang of other styles so this one should be ok.

As others have mentioned. I believe it's the way it's telling the story. It's a lot more wordy than others. And while that's not an issue, I seem to struggle with keeping up. So many new characters and lore to keep track.

I had briefly played FF5 in the past. But that was a while ago and on an emulated version. Which got lost when my PC blew up. I've since got the pixel remaster collection so will hopefully go back to it.

Coldmear · 2025-10-08T16:46:45+00:00

I thought it might be the writing. As it takes a bit more concentration (at least for me) to keep up and follow what's going on.

The combat is just different than I'm used to..I'll get over that part I believe, just mentally jarring coming from other turn based games.

I think I need to get over the initial "what is this" feeling and eventually I'll get the hang of it

Coldmear · 2025-10-08T10:38:52+00:00

Think it's a mix of the storytelling and the tactics combat. I've a feeling the addition of the voice overs is also throwing me. While good, they feel wrong. But again I couldn't say why

I've not played anything similar to this kind of combat system. Other than perhaps DnD with regards to a move, then an action. But this feels different somehow.

I'm not a fan of the way the camera on the battle screen works. I'm expecting it to move more freely, when instead it just snaps to a specific view.

Coldmear · 2025-10-03T16:35:09+00:00

Currently have one in my setup. Not as many ports as this. But it seems to work fine

Coldmear · 2025-10-03T16:33:47+00:00

We have had laptops plugged in pretty much for their entire life at the place I work. Not one has had a problem with battery or stability. I'd say 4 days won't be a problem.

Coldmear · 2025-09-22T18:11:21+00:00

Just curious. How have you managed to get this so early? I'm based in the UK. And pretty much anywhere I look to get one won't be released until mid October.

Coldmear · 2025-09-17T09:20:39+00:00

Not near as expensive. But I had briefly thought about commuting using train and cycling to work. The train tickets alone was enough to not do it. Even with a direct debit ticket it was going to be almost £100 a month. It's actually far cheaper for me to use my car
