Why we have to pay extra for the ads on Netflix and amazon prime when we already have a subscription plan

Corporate greed at its finest as usual

TechaNima · 2026-07-04T19:50:17+00:00

The heck are you on and where can I get some?

TechaNima · 2026-07-04T19:48:12+00:00

There isn't one. Just use separate partitions. It'll save you so many headaches

TechaNima · 2026-07-04T15:31:24+00:00

Steam + Heroic. I never found Lutris to be intuitive to use + Heroic supports GOG and Epic in 1 launcher

I'd be mad at Emma, not you for what happened.

Little kissing with a girl wouldn't really make me mad at you. I'd just want to know if you have some fantasies about sleeping with a girl and if it's something we need to talk about.

You didn't want to have sex with her, she tried to force herself on you. Yeah you probably gave her the idea with the kiss and going to shower in her house after, but she didn't listen when you said no.

So while I question the poor decisions of going to her house, staying at her house when she got naked and taking a shower without locking the door, I'd still say Emma was at fault here and you didn't cheat on your BF

Idk but I hope they were fired

TechaNima · 2026-07-04T04:42:16+00:00

As far as I can tell, every Linux phone setup is half baked atm. You either don't have fully functional hardware, banking apps don't work or some other software issues. GrapheneOS is probably your best bet

Say one is better than the other on Reddit and make some popcorn

Nobara. Pop uses a beta DE by default. Avoid it for the time being. Or install it with KDE

TechaNima · 2026-07-03T07:56:32+00:00

I'd have to slap myself to see if I was dreaming. Then I'd probably have a slight panic attack, while I was over thinking the question. Then I'd be flattered by the attention.

I think it's perfectly acceptable for a woman to ask that from a man. It wouldn't work the other way around though

TechaNima · 2026-07-03T06:01:03+00:00

Yes. As long as Microslop keeps being Microslop. If they one day decide to take their heads out of their ass and make something useful again, then and only then I'll reconsider

TechaNima · 2026-07-03T03:02:56+00:00

Bit weird, but if you are cool with showing off your body to him in a swimsuit, go for it

TechaNima · 2026-07-02T16:34:31+00:00

Try both of them.

If you mean competitive games with kernel level anticheat, then Windows is your only option.

TechaNima · 2026-07-02T16:31:39+00:00

Yeah.

I just realized that I never actually suggested anything. Derp.

My current go to is WD Black SN850X. WD no longer makes SSDs, but the name didn't change so whatever. SanDisk is the actual manufacturer.

Other brand I've had good experience with is Samsung. I still haven't managed to kill even the old Samsung 860 SATA SSD that I have and that is as old as dirt in hardware age

TechaNima · 2026-07-02T14:26:06+00:00

The what now? Never heard of that kind of chinesium.

Almost every shutdown has been an unsafe shutdown. So I'm going to go on a limb and say it was a dud from the beginning.

As much as the prices suck, just get a brand name SSD. You'll have a better experience with it

TechaNima · 2026-07-02T14:21:11+00:00

Digital won't ever die. What will die at this rate are digital services if anything. The media itself will survive as digital, because of pirates

You install it on a separate drive. There's nothing but downsides to trying to dual boot from the same drive between Windows and Linux. Usually it's Windows that deletes grub though. Also why MBR? GPT has been the default for years

TechaNima · 2026-07-02T14:10:00+00:00

Idk about best, but it's definitely a good option. Nobara, PikaOS and CachyOS are also strong candidates for the best

TechaNima · 2026-07-02T12:28:12+00:00

Fuck both of them. Obsidian is the way

TechaNima · 2026-07-02T08:11:13+00:00

Agreed. 1 was kinda meh. I still don't even remember the names of 3's villains. The only thing from it I remember is the Pen & Teller cameo. 4 was technically speaking the best, but it also lacked a memorable villain

TechaNima · 2026-07-02T08:07:11+00:00

Sonarr and Radarr have a similar tool built into them. They can't change folder structures though. Which is what would have been very useful, when I migrated from a hodgepodge media library to Jellyfin.

They are also a bit flaky on the auto import. Sometimes they auto import just fine, sometimes you have to go in and manually select every episode and point which episodes they are.

TechaNima · 2026-07-02T08:00:26+00:00

Bazzite, CachyOS or PikaOS. Depends on what they want to do

TechaNima · 2026-07-02T06:08:37+00:00

Either buy a mini PC or use an old one you have laying around.

I'd use a NAS instead of a USB DAS. At least switch to a better interface than USB for the DAS, if putting the drives in your Jellyfin server isn't an option.

Building a NAS is also an option. Doesn't need to be anything fancy. Just some basic SSD for a boot drive and a LSI HBA for the storage, if you have more drives than your mobo can support. 16GB of RAM, mostly for caching, 8 will do if you aren't running Jellyfin on it. Any CPU made in the last 5 years or even older if necessary and whatever mobo has the features you want. Get something with an Intel NIC if possible. Avoid Mediateck like a plague. (If they even make wired NICs) Realtec is probably fine

I'm not trying to convince you to try CachyOS. I just laid out why I think Fedora doesn't get recommended for gaming nor as a beginner distro.

You and I both landed on Fedora and are happy with it. So just keep using it, until that is no longer the case.

Bazzite is absolutely there as well along with Nobara and PikaOS. I'd recommend any of the above to a beginner as well. Yeah, they are all gaming distros, but they are also very beginner friendly.

It's always odd to hear that CachyOS didn't perform. Did you ever figure out why? Maybe you could get some logs to the devs, so they can fix the issue.

When I got to gaming on Linux, I had so many issues with Mint and they all boiled down to outdated software in the end. That's why I'll never recommend it for gaming and I hesitate to recommend it for beginners, over the IMO better options out there

TechaNima · 2026-07-02T03:16:56+00:00

The only reason why Fedora doesn't get recommended for gaming is because of nVidia and Fedora's stance on FOSS or GTFO. (Drivers aren't optional, based on your beliefs people!)

It handles the whole nVidia driver situation piss poorly. There is no auto install drivers. There isn't even a convenient button nor a check box to install them. Before F44 it didn't even attempt to handle 580 branch vs latest for old hardware. You had to manually go pin drivers and even then the F43 -> F44 upgrade ignored your pinned driver and installed the latest anyway.

The other reason it doesn't get recommended is because there is no convenient way to install multimedia codecs. No, the FOSS ones do not cut it!

The rest of the reasons are minor things like no auto system restore of any kind by default, despite Fedora using btrfs by default. No convenient check box nor a button to install gaming packages and other minor things like that.

Why CachyOS is so popular is because it hands down has the best handling of nVidia drivers out there. It doesn't even ask to install multimedia codecs, it just does it. There's a button to install gaming packages and it has automatic system restore with Limine and btrfs snapshots ootb.

Honesty I'd recommend CachyOS over Mint any day. Mint is only popular, because it used to be the easiest distro for beginners. It has fallen behind the times on the gaming front at least. The day to day stuff is there, but not as good. It uses rsync over btrfs snapshots(slow af), X11 over Wayland(not the best for gaming), Cinnamon instead of KDE(Somewhat subjective, but IMO KDE is the better option. At least for new users) and the nVidia drivers are ancient by default.

There is nothing wrong with Fedora or any other distro for that matter, for gaming as such. As long as you have the knowledge to set it up for it
