That was my reaction too. People do but I’m not sure I understand. One thing, you could be much more easily on the hook for any copyright issue even if accidental. Also you’re paying for a new service. I’d rather just occasionally do some local maintenance and pay the $2 a month extra to keep my machine running which I’d likely do anyhow.
I tried jellyfin before I decided to buy the Plex lifetime pass and it just flat out would not boot. The docker container kept failing and I tried various things to troubleshoot. Made me sad but I felt like it was time to finally commit to Plex after using it for like 8 years…
Yeah too bad that I was on a host heavily associated with CSAM /s
This is a good point. Would the version numbers displayed from apt list --installed be what I’m looking for?
As it happens I do keep a git repo that keeps a log of that information. I see that after reinstall,
linux-image-* and linux-headers-* packages have the same actual version numbers but there are some other values in that same listing that have changed a bit. Some look like git commit hashes. I dunno.
I did start with a different, updated Pop!_OS image this time. I’ve considered wiping again using the older image which I still have. I figured that using the new one would be best and just avoid the need for a few GB of updates but looking at the diff of the installed packages (and looking at differences in how I was able to resolve some random issues, for example previously I had pulse installed for audio stuff, now I do not, it’s a different app), it seems like a lot of the OS internals are rather different…
On pop_os I had great success with proton until I had to wipe my os and reload. Before, most of my games worked well. Cyberpunk 2077 actually ran faster than on Windows. After the wipe, I literally cannot get a single game to run and I really don’t feel like troubleshooting so I keep returning to windows. I hate it. And yes, I have an Nvidia card and have tried several driver versions
Yikes
I hate many things about apple but Jesus MS UIs are trashy af
So you not only think Microsoft is not a shitty company, but their UI is better? Lololol
Omg this gave me goosebumps to read. That would have been amazing!!!
Been running a Linux based os for coming up on two years. I still definitely do not care about this.
Same to all of this!
They’re simply trying to express what an extremely weird and disgusting person they are
