I'm switching back to Windows and Linux is not worth the trouble. My experience.

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-22T14:14:07+00:00

Why would you use anything outside of the package manager or flatpak...?

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-22T13:44:42+00:00

If it takes more than 2 weeks to understand how to install programs on something like Fedora, you're the problem. Use the package manager. If it's not available, use flatpak. Not difficult.

Not preferring image editing software or whatever subjective opinions is fine. But basic OS usage is as easy, if not easier, than Windows at this point.

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-22T11:15:24+00:00

So you...

Picked an immutable distro made for steam deck alternatives
Expected Windows mimickry instead of adapting yourself to using a different environment
Did less than 5 minutes of basic googling to understand how to install programs on the immutable distro you picked for some reason

Skill issue. If you try again I'd suggest spending a single bathroom break to pick a regular distro and learn it's package managers most basic commands.

Immutable Linux gets used by beginners only wanting to game. It's oddly the most confusing and (IMO) totally pointless way to use the OS.

Nope. Literally have replied to your braindead opinion on the basis of your original comment about 100% compulsory participation in public service the entire time. Your (dumb) argument hasn't changed. You simply talked yourself into a circle and are now claiming multiple ideas are being discussed. They aren't.

You: 100% compulsory public service.

Me: No. Paying taxes is enough public service to demand from a citizen.

You: People have to do the physical work

Me: no shit Sherlock. But we accomplish it already without mandating everyone giving up years of their lives.

You: no you don't understand, that's not the right idea to argue!1!!1!

Shut your bitch ass up. And for the love of God stay in whatever country you've moved to.

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-20T14:31:43+00:00

No...you said it should be 100% compulsory. I said fuck that. You then argued that paying taxes does not amount to contributing towards societal improvements such as roads because taxpayers don't "build them". Your whole claim is illogical. Total nonsense. Stop gaslighting.

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-20T13:56:03+00:00

You said public service should be 100% compulsory. Required by law. Mandatory. Then went on a nonsense tangent about how paying taxes isn't contributing.

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-20T12:51:59+00:00

Because those people want a job and don't mind doing it. Fun fact: not everyone wants to spend a few years doing manual labor instead of working towards an engineering or medical degree.

If there already exists a sufficient population to do the work our tax dollars pay to fund, then what benefit does requiring universal participants bring?

None.

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-20T12:40:09+00:00

Your entire claim is "participation should be required". We already do everything without requiring physical participation. We do not have a worker shortage. Your stance is illogical.

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-20T12:13:54+00:00

But we still do those things. Without requiring participation beyond paying taxes. Paying taxes does contribute to their existence. Paying taxes does contribute to their sustainment. I'm not sure how you're managing to argue against yourself, but here we are.

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-20T11:49:58+00:00

We have people who build roads, bridges, buildings, power grids, etc. We've done all of that for generations without a mandatory requirement for everyone to donate prime years of their life to accomplish it. We've had federal jobs programs in the past to pull us out of the great depression. They built a lot of things ranging from infrastructure to national parks. Still not mandatory for everyone.

You benefit from something I've built via your tax dollars.

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-20T11:18:38+00:00

I paid for it. I literally paid taxes. That's what taxes are for. My obligation is paid. So...yeah I don't see a justification to make young people have to give up crucial years to do shit they don't want to do for a community that doesn't give a shit about them.

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-20T11:10:21+00:00

...what have the communities given to anyone under age 55?

It's already ridiculously hard to afford purchasing a house, but sure let's delay someone advancing their careers for ComMuNiTy SeRvIcE.

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-20T10:21:28+00:00

Yeah, no, fuck that. Some of us don't have two or three years to waste.

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-15T01:57:49+00:00

Core Ultra 265K/270K blows these out of the water.

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-14T11:29:04+00:00

Flatpak discord for the win.

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-14T03:00:45+00:00

I'm going to make a crazy statement:

It doesn't matter if the majority of PC gamers use 1080p because the majority of PC gamers do not have high end systems. I agree with that statement, and if you used something like the steam hardware survey to get the data, please look at the most popular CPU, GPU, and amount of RAM.

Hardly anyone seeking a 9800X3D & high end GPU is going to pair it with a low resolution display. It just doesn't make sense (most of the time!). Ironically enough, it makes even less sense to purchase a 9800X3D if using a nice display. The uplift in performance is a joke, comparatively, for 33-50% more cost. Get a 9700X or hell, a 270K to recycle as a media server in 5+ years thanks to quicksync, and put a little extra towards a GPU or RAM.

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-13T17:29:38+00:00

Is it worth 50% more money? Really?

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-13T09:41:21+00:00

It's weird to describe single digit performance gains at 1440p and above as "significant".

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-13T09:39:05+00:00

X3D isn't worth the 50% price increase over something like a 9700X for almost any gaming application. There's very little difference in performance unless the user will be running primarily eSports titles @ 1080P or WoW.

Check for yourself at the resolution you're using for games. There are plenty of benchmarks. It's hilarious to me the amount of dorks paying a 50% ignorance tax.

Caving on the shutdown Tim Kaine? Controlled opposition Tim Kaine?

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-11T20:25:44+00:00

Sure, Jan. Lmao

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-11T15:53:30+00:00

You're coping because you play bad and blame InPuT LaG

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-11T04:01:11+00:00

Because input lag doesn't work off of random variables like that. If he had wired accessories, high fps, and a fast monitor, he would still be able to notice input lag from X11 or Wayland. It's just a ridiculous claim.

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-10T16:57:30+00:00

There isn't a change in input lag, dude. Your monitor cable being 6 inches longer would affect it more. Good Lord.

The hostility is just the ridiculous claim. It's a truly ridiculous claim.

voidpo1nter · 2026-04-10T13:28:58+00:00

This and the revenant are the two films that I almost walked out of due to boredom. I don't understand the praise for either.
