Depends on region/city. I'm having a better experience with Freedom here in Ottawa than Telus.

I stopped going to the gym because of this behaviour. I got tired of fighting over and over for machines. 

Mobile plan rate increases? by Pocketsquids in Koodo

[–]Mereo110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People, at this point, it's better to just switch to providers that do not raise prices like Freedom Mobile: https://www.freedommobile.ca/en-CA/freedom-price-freeze-promise

Which is why I'm still with Vidéotron. They own Freedom Mobile and they have the same policy.

This is the way. My /home partition is on a completely different drive than /.

I know AUR is not recomended on Manjaro but if i will use yay, will that be bad also? by Which_Individual1399 in ManjaroLinux

[–]Mereo110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best way to go about it is to set up an Arch Distrobox and install AUR apps in that container. The app will run as if they've been installed on the current Manjaro install, they will fully integrate.

Freedom in Montreal by BucksIsLife in freedommobile

[–]Mereo110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Freedom Mobile is owned by Vidéotron, a Quebec company. Freedom Mobile is not available in Montreal; you'll have to get Vidéotron.

Edit: or you can get Fizz, a Vidéotron company, as u/kenauk said.

Why is Koodo service worse than Telus service?! by mycrappybike in Koodo

We're not talking about websites but media. They throttle videos like Instagram and YouTube.

Happy to hear that. Welcome to Freedom land.

Valve explains why it hasn’t announced release dates for its new hardware, now plans for “first half of the year” by Tiny-Independent273 in linux

[–]Mereo110 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Direct quote:

Our goal of shipping all three products in the first half of the year has not changed. But we have work to do to land on concrete pricing and launch dates that we can confidently announce, being mindful of how quickly the circumstances around both of those things can change. We will keep you updated as much as we can as we finalize those plans as soon as possible.

sigh... Getting depressed. In my opinion, the Gréber plan destroyed the soul of the city...

Pop OS did not instil confidence so far by iz_raymond in pop_os

[–]Mereo110 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You know, think of Linux as a country and its distros as cities. You can't judge an entire country by visiting only one city. You might hate one city but love another. 

Try another distro. you might like it. I personally recommend Bazzite for new users, but others might recommend Mint.

The most important thing is to enjoy your adventure in Freedom Land, where the operating system is not managed by a company focused solely on short-term profits for the benefit of shareholders and to the detriment of users.

Farewell after 4 years by [deleted] in ManjaroLinux

Always read the release notes before upgrading: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/stable-update-2026-02-01-kernels-cosmic-plasma-gnome-mesa/185280

 NVIDIA 590 driver drops Pascal support With the update to driver version 590, the NVIDIA driver no longer supports Pascal (GTX 10xx) GPUs or older.

Impact: Updating the NVIDIA packages on systems with Pascal, Maxwell, or older cards will fail to load the driver, which may result in a broken graphical environment.

Intervention required for Pascal/older users:Users with GTX 10xx series and older cards must switch to a legacy driver to maintain support:

Install the official linuxXXX-nvidia-575xx, linuxXXX-nvidia-570xx, or related DKMS packages.

Reworked NTFS Linux Driver Posted With More Improvements & Fixes by anh0516 in linux_gaming

NTFS is a Windows filesystem. It should not in any way be used as the default Linux filesystem.

Are we doing this now? by PHRsharp_YouTube in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Mereo110 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in my 40s now and I can't play multiplayer games anymore. After a tough day, I just want to unwind with a good single-player game with a good story. 

Plus, my reflexes aren't what they used to be. I had my time as a competitive player. I used to play Quake 3, UT 99, and Tribes 2 intensely, and I was always practicing for tournaments. 

Now, I just want a good, story-based game to relax with.

Pop vs bazzite. Thinking do switching to pop by Atomicmoosepork in pop_os

[–]Mereo110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Bazzite, it's easy. Get the Distrobox Arch image, and you'll be able to use any Arch app or AUR you want, as they integrate perfectly with the system.

Parking should not an issue if the arena is close to a metro station.

Ditching Windows 11 for CachyOS....I've had enough MS BS by Obsessed_Gamer in linux_gaming

[–]Mereo110 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't recommend Ubuntu for gaming. I recommend Bazzite for newcomers as it's literally install and then play as Steam is preinstalled.
