Shame. Pale blue marble doesn’t roll off the tongue.

Reading that article as a layman, I got the impression there were a lot of falling dominoes.

Bazzite is KDE plasma based, it’s a desktop with some additional tweaks and up to date functionality to run steam and games out of the box. It’s still virtually the same as Fedora. Good pick in my opinion.

First boot may create problems (especially with legacy nVidia) so dual boot makes the blame not fall on Linux.

Social and peer pressure is a big reason why people start for sure. Especially when you get to go outside and have a quick chat during work.

I’m using it on my laptop as a teacher. My gaming PC with steam is linux. I see improvements in performance every half year.

Had a student want to use it. I told him he needs to dual boot. Keep his options open. Then time will tell whether he will make the great leap.

Smoking usually starts socially. Then it becomes a coping mechanism. You’re not wrong, some people go straight to it to cope but your post is straight up saying all smokers are plagued by problems and anxiety.

I didn’t watch the video, but this is a classic lab experiment we do for high school students. A variable resistor to adjust to threshold voltage (just before the led lights up), a multimeter to find said voltage, and knowing the wavelength of the led, voila, you get quite a surprisingly accurate Planck constant within the same order of magnitude, and even within the first digit ‘6’. It surprises our students immensely.

Mint or Fedora Plasma edition. Your friend might like Plasma as that looks polished. Anything gnome related could have a few problems getting used to the UI (though I personally like it).

I had 3 files installed and one was proton when I downloaded my first game.

Started my EndeavoursOS gaming PC. Oh no, my new-Steam lists the game as windows only?

Proceeds to install proton and related software and bam, I can game.

I know it’s not Bazzite but there is sure as hell little reason not to use Linux any more except for enterprise computers and laptops.

“beginner level”

That sounds like a very specific user case, I’m using a laptop for teaching with a smallish screen so gnome actually improves my workflow and the visibility of the OS. I don’t need theming either. Gnome is really aimed at productivity imo.

I only play older games, opensource games (like Pioneer Space Sim, Luanti), and emulate PS2 mostly (could do PS3/4 you bet) so AMD is fine for my use case and works out of the box. I know Nvidia Linux support has improved which means the latest graphics cards also pretty much work out of the box too. But by principle, I support AMD for the work they put into working on Linux.

This post was just a negative, discriminatory opinion. This kid needs a temporary ban at least.

Older graphics cards (like mine in a laptop bought in 2014) were not supported by Nvidia except through the open source one. So the performance would be sub par.

Even if they resign, a no-confidence vote can occur for the next prime minister. It’s just that everybody is placated for a bit.

Exploding with Excitement.

Doesn’t it have an eMMC drive. A card like that might be slow as hell, but it would load up a live iso eventually.

Well well, isn’t that amazing /s
