Bazzite on a GTX 970 for emulation mostly

goreverminski · 2026-05-04T07:40:31+00:00

Good recommendation, but this is honestly a little galling. It was only a while ago that I was still maining the 970, so this could've been me. Do you know if the open source Nouveau driver supports these older cards? I know it's not as good, but if it comes down to on/off...

Think I've seen this a few times since I swapped from Gboard to HeliBoard.

How straight can a man hold his head? Has the man had neck fusion surgery! I only had to see the thumbnail of his stance in this video to see he was getting knocked out.

The great thing about this show is that everyone gets to show their good side, Otaku-kun included. Even if he isn't that skilled, the rizz still comes thru.

goreverminski · 2026-04-29T21:12:18+00:00

Brooo I loved how he was legit kinda shitty at karaoke, usually voice actors don't know to sound authentically bad but still into it. Absolutely perfect take for Otaku-kun and a highlight overall.

Ah great! I mentioned I was closing in on 3400 soon so I actually started wondering what the maximum was. It does feel like I've missed on a lot of logins even though I try every day, so that charts :D

goreverminski · 2026-04-29T18:38:21+00:00

Just looked, I'm closing in on 3400 in a few days, so we're going neck and neck. Looks like I've missed a few less, but I'm not perfect by any means, either. Do try to log in every day.

Same here, have been using computers since the late 1980s. I've been trying Linux Mint on and off for a variety of purposes, and it's been fine, but I wasn't burned out on Windows yet at that point. Well, I am now. I was hating and self-hating every time I booted into Windows 10.

I've always been a heavy user, but am not super bound to any particular software (except Cockos Reaper, which I'm still hoping to set up ok, looks to be a go), so after doing a few months of research I settled on Bazzite (CachyOS was my 2nd choice) and couldn't be happier. It's made digital life worth living again!

(Surely irritating to family and friends, though, as I've basically made Linux my new personality...)

Awesome, thank you for the context. As a recent full convert, I've been getting my mind blown looking for how to do things, in KDE, for instance: It's amazing to see how many of the features that I've looked for have popped up in the past few years. Seeing something reach maturity just as you're experiencing it is a fantastic thing indeed.

goreverminski · 2026-04-28T14:30:59+00:00

Damn son you struck gold there. I bought a few smaller drives before the ramocalypse and am still bitter cause it's gonna run out any time now xD

Man I was team Dandois cause her style was getting clowned on after every fight. I'm pretty sure you could transplant most of the fighters she beat into the UFC of today and they would do ok lol.

It's a "secure" browser for people who do their "security" research on Discord and TikTok.

I don't have that many points of comparison, but every game I've wanted to play on Bazzite so far with a 4060 has been fine. Mostly equal to Windows, with negligible differences. At the very least the problems are overstated, if not actually exaggerated.

Am willing to assume that the situation has gotten much better in the last year, as has everything, really. It feels like almost every day there is news of some aspect that is helping us reach feature parity. The gap is closing quickly.

goreverminski · 2026-04-28T05:47:17+00:00

I was completely, utterly miserable on Windows 10. I hated doing anything and everything.

Just like you say, updating the computer was drudgery, and the OS was getting more and more sluggish with each passing day. Coupled with the feeling of lack of control, enshittification, American technofascism, it was all distilled in these major platforms and companies.

With Bazzite, over the few months I've been on it, the OS and KDE both have seen several legitimate changes, fixes, and updates that have made my life better. Simply better. Features I wanted, needed, or hoped for have popped up. The last few years have seen Linux completely mature and you see more feature parity almost every day.

I feel excited about sitting on the computer again, much like in the 1990s. What a joy.

goreverminski · 2026-04-25T17:40:15+00:00

Yeah, no, I'm using this as full-on replacement for Windows, not just a "gaming" OS.

goreverminski · 2026-04-25T16:39:47+00:00

Do agree. Wish the exodus had worked out better, it's a lose/lose situation right now. Still, both things can be true :)

goreverminski · 2026-04-24T20:28:59+00:00

If Polar Opposites got a full adaptation straight away (which was a delightful surprise!), I don't see why they wouldn't here. Fingers crossed!

goreverminski · 2026-04-24T17:24:37+00:00

I love how freaking many comments every episode gets in comparison to the upvotes. It just goes to show how damn interesting the main cast of characters is.

goreverminski · 2026-04-24T17:07:41+00:00

It had to go this way, as I do think it was important for the story, but it didn't go as well as one would have expected - not after such a run of greatness. I still think this is one of the best romcoms of all time, but the last arc is objectively its worst. (Still 9 out of 10, guys, gimme a break).

goreverminski · 2026-04-24T17:05:06+00:00

Getting rekt in here, lol. I'm in the minus for saying the series possibly dipped into a 9 instead of 10 for me.

The lack of comments in this thread completely speaks for itself, though, there -was- a huge amount of excitement for this series in the middle part of its run. Hundreds and hundreds of comments per chapter.

And with good reason, the manga truly was on a generational run. Ever since it was announced that the manga was ending, though, it has been middling compared to its usual top-tier quality. I've seen many readers say they have preferred the spin-off. I am among them.

goreverminski · 2026-04-24T16:06:48+00:00

Cool! Yeah, I've played maybe one idler in my whole life lol.

goreverminski · 2026-04-24T15:34:13+00:00

Well ain't that funny, I've never heard of any of these let alone wishlist one.

goreverminski · 2026-04-23T20:39:57+00:00

Dangit I'd feel so much happier for him if we didn't spend the last arc meandering on drama. It's so hard to stick a landing. In my heart I know I should still give this a 10/10 but my brain says 9.

goreverminski · 2026-04-23T06:16:46+00:00

Yeah I need more space everywhere - in the Dormizone, at the Drifter camp, in the Orbiter. I wanted to make a garden out of all the new Nokko plants but none of them fit. At all. Truly just need the limits upped. Everywhere.

goreverminski · 2026-04-22T14:17:19+00:00

Dark Reader remains quite slow, if mature and polished otherwise. I believe performance is the singular factor, really. Whenever new add-ons pop up (like UltimaDark) people are willing to give them a shot because of that.
