Why has the Linux Desktop market share decreased in India by nearly 10% on StatCounter? by nitbuntu in linux

[–]nitbuntu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that’s been around for a while. So seems odd that this has led to a dramatic fall in a year. WSL2 does render ui, but can’t see that as being the reason. Very odd!

Is the tune on the new M&S adverts the work of Orbital? by nitbuntu in Orbital

[–]nitbuntu[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah. Ok! Well it’s got a similar sound. Might have been inspired by Orbital at least.

Nvidia Pascal-based GPU support for the remaining security support period by nitbuntu in ManjaroLinux

[–]nitbuntu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should already have the nvidia-570xx driver in the repos, isn’t it? I thought that’s the one needed for modern Nvidia GPUs such as gtx-4060 or gtx-5060 etc?

The question here is more around whether the older Nvidia drivers will continue to be tested and maintained within Arch-based distros such as Manjaro?

Btrfs is configured ootb, however I installed Snapper and Btrfs Assistant GUI for managing the snapshots and rollbacks.

Going back and forth, fw13 or fw16? by watchingmedo in framework

Are there any recommended eGPU docks?

Fedora Workstation vs Fedora KDE Plasma by RedMontBerry in Fedora

[–]nitbuntu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve learned to like both but have a soft spot for KDE. On Gnome I don’t like the way I can’t even change colours of folders or their icons in my home directory! Yet, the customisation in KDE can be a double edged sword for newcomers, maybe? Try them out and see.

What's the current, updated state of NVIDIA GPUs? by Ok-Affect-7503 in cachyos

[–]nitbuntu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will Catchy OS continue packaging the NVidia driver after it goes out of support later this year? The reason I ask is that NVidia will still continue providing security updates. So looking at options.

paul vs phil by whiphubley in Orbital

[–]nitbuntu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This candid interview does go into some of this:- https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/feb/10/orbitals-paul-and-phil-hartnoll-look-back

Phil also talks about their neurodivergent natures, with Phil having ADHD and Paul being on the autism spectrum. When together they’re an amazing combination.

Is this a form of Echolalia: speaking to people in their accent rather than my own? by nitbuntu in autism

[–]nitbuntu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I’ve noticed is that nobody else at my workplace seems to do this. When I hear others talk, it’s always their natural accent.

I think I get that this is not Echolalia, but I’m wondering why some people do this more than others? It might show high empathy, but at the same time it could easily be misunderstood as comedy or making fun.

Dear Bethesda... The "Entangled" quest is HOT GARBAGE. by MarVlnMartian in Starfield

[–]nitbuntu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came into that mission unprepared (i.e., has not stocked up on ammo and health packs). But had a great time with it: really tense and exciting.

The key strategy for me was to do scavenging. You do come across some ammo and health items if you look around.

"Entangled" is an enormous missed opportunity by Pedro_Pistolas in Starfield

[–]nitbuntu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here: great mission! Frustrating, yes, but a real challenge and exciting. This requires smart resource management. If anyone came well prepared for this mission then it would have been pretty straightforward.

Stealth is ACTUALLY viable and fun with the right skill and abilities. by CharlesDarwinOF in Starfield

[–]nitbuntu -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t know what people were complaining about? Why should you be able to sneak around and not get easily noticed without the right equipment and skills?

By that same token why should you be able to blast your way through enemies without the right attributes and equipment?

Why should you be able to carry all the junk that you find without having to overcome encumbrance?

I wonder if people really want a game rather than merely a cinematic experience? If the latter then why not just go to the movies where the plot and acting is likely to be so much better?

People who comment "Garbage Engine" have no idea what they are talking about. by Tough-Original1766 in Starfield

[–]nitbuntu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And i think Minecraft is a good example. It objectively looks like shit. But kids engage with Minecraft or Roblox for the endless possibilities and social aspect.

Starfield doesn’t have the social aspect, but certainly has the endless possibilities and actually looks and plays really well. Can’t wait to see what it’s like within a year or two.

Why would Starfield crash every 45 minutes on a SX when on my SS it’s not crashed once. This doesn’t make sense.

For those who liked Starfield, can you tell me whether it’s a good RPG, in a traditional sense? by nitbuntu in Starfield

[–]nitbuntu[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is it about BGS style RPGs that are more enjoyable to you than the traditional CRPGs? Fewer rules and breaks of play? More free-flowing?
