GNOME is the Apple of the FOSS world

What’s preventing you from installing Asahi Linux?

If you had access to wLE already, why didn’t you just back up the saves to a flash drive, or just make a complete image of the memory card?

Also on PS3, can’t you just copy saves to a flash drive in the stock OS? Even if not, jailbreaking is easy.

Me, an American:

Yeah. There’s the ao486 core available on MiSTer.

There’s also the PCem (as well as forks 86Box and PCBox) software emulators which are excellent ways of emulating old PCs.

But emulation (regardless of whether hardware or software) is not the same experience as real hardware, especially when it comes to PCs. There is the tinkering with hardware, the process of building the PC, the satisfying click of the power button and turbo button, using floppy disks, trying to get it online, etc.

Lemmy isn’t listed as a Reddit alternative. I wonder why that is.

They are also recommending PrivacyTools.io, which had a nasty takeover and started selling ad space. Privacy Guides is the better site.

Ah, the student loan loophole

You should consider passing through your Nvidia GPU to a virtual machine in order to do compute tasks on; that way, your host machine won’t be infected with proprietary Nvidia drivers (I’m assuming you need CUDA for your compute tasks). The only performance differences you’ll notice is less available system RAM (you will have access to all of your VRAM), and very slightly less CPU performance, due to running two operating systems at the same time (barely even noticable, TBH). This is the option that I would personally recommend.

If you want to try a super hacky solution which might not work for everything you need, you can try using the open source, recently released ZLUDA translation layer to perform CUDA tasks on your AMD GPU.

The reason Hyprland doesn’t work with proprietary Nvidia drivers is due to Nvidia refusing to implement the accepted Wayland standard in favor of their own, home-rolled solution which is incompatible. AFAIK, only GNOME and KDE implement that standard.

Does it have to be Ubuntu, or would Debian be fine? If Debian is fine, check out KickSecure.

Been starting to infect Reddit as well in the past couple of years, so the old trick of just adding Reddit to a query is no longer helpful.

God forbid I want to see normal peoples’ opinions on what the best [blank] is.

Nah. Someone answered the question 3 years ago on a random Discord channel.

I don’t play shooters, but I love both 2D and 3D platformers, where you can absolutely notice a difference.

I can absolutely notice a frame of lag at 60Hz. Good way to compare side-by-side is by using an emulator with run-ahead mode.

For advanced, power user stuff, I find Linux to be much friendlier and faster. Just being able to do everything in a Terminal instead of having to mess around with a mix of inconsistent GUI menus in the two different control panels, gpedit, regedit (which is an entire headache by itself), a mix of cmd and Powershell (and whatever Windows Terminal is) is just so much less of a headache.

Also I find things easier to script in Linux compared to Windows.

Not to mention the mess that is Windows Update, which doesn’t even upgrade third party software, and takes a long time to actually do the updates. Package management is a godsend. Windows has chocolatey and winget, but those are poor substitutes.

And I say all of this as someone who is technically proficient in both.

So Santa Claus IS real

More than likely, if it’s a publicly traded company, it’s the shareholders and the board of directors.

The Windows equivilent would be instead of putting application data in the AppData folder, it throws it in Documents, My Games, or just in the home folder directly.

Saturn model 2 controller > Genesis 6 button. Same DPad, but with bumpers and slightly better ergonomics.

That’s no fun. I love me some security flaws.
