Gentoo gaming and music production rig working through mostly tty with dwm as a graphical display. I typically stay on tty until I want to play a game, use modern web, or record a song. Otherwise tty with Links browser.

I was using an old plasma screen from around 2008/9 for a while until my girlfriend’s sister’s exboyfriend stole it. Their dad gifted me a 55in 4k tv that wasn’t bid on at an auction he was running. That plasma is probably gonna burn down Shithead’s place at some point, it was pretty sketchy.

I use a t480 for my carry laptop with Gentoo. It’s been solid. Replaced both batteries pretty easily, replaced thermal paste, and it’s good to go again. I paid about 160 got it. I had a t460 as well, but gave that to my gf. Either of those were good and not too expensive for a semi modern computer for general usage.

The idea of a a Ready or Not styled game with the comedy and tone of Deep Rock would be killer.

What’s the best place to look for jobs these days? Going on indeed floods me with endless “insurance sales” positions. I tried Dice, but almost every job is wildly out of range for experience to pay. I’ve devolved down to scrolling over an area on google maps and clicking businesses to check their websites.

I used Ubuntu, then Arch, and now Gentoo. Been about 2 years with most of my time on Arch. Gentoo is my favorite though. Just does what I want, how I want.

I probably could figure out the issue fast. I just don’t want to.

I like st and kitty depending on the task

For a case that comes included with the system I can’t complain. I put a cloth under the deck and the US charger fits alright. I’ll maybe get a bigger case someday, but this one is prettu good for me not having to go get another one. The switch didn’t come with a case, so it wad just naked until I found a decent one.

Anytime family asks for computer help I tell them I haven’t used windows in years so I’ll have no idea what to do either.

About 3 years. I wasn’t good with computers because I mostly just didn’t want to mess with them, due to Microsoft being who they are. I started with Ubuntu, went to Arch, Nixos, and now Gentoo is my standard. I got into it because my brother who’s a security programmer recommended it to me. I use much, much more linux than my brother does now. I don’t have any proprietary systems in my home now. All is FOSS.

I use the bin kernel. I don’t change anything that is kernel level, so the default is fine. It cuts down on updates and install by a lot, but more important is that it’s stable. I personally love gentoo, it’s my favorite and I’ve tried basically everything.

Deus Ex and System Shock.

I like Calyx and Gentoo. They’ve been nice to me.

I been playing nothing but daggerfall and morrowind

Whatever you know best. My personal choice of distro is Gentoo, my gaming pc and my carry laptop both run it. My games run great in gentoo, and because I understand it best, I deal with few issues. For a long time it was Arch, and before that Ubuntu. I used Ubuntu for only maybe 2 months before moving onto Arch then Gentoo. My games always worked, but once I really understood Linux, they ran great.

I love my steam deck, I also just got it like 2 months ago. If I knew this was coming, I might’ve waited. Either way, my girlfriend is probably going to get a cool hand me down in the next couple months.

My gamer laptop died, and I tend to spend a good amount of time out the house. Getting a steamdeck for like 350$ (sale) and packing one of my 15 thinkpads made more sense to me. Overall, spending about 450$ on everything instead of 1200$ for another computer that requires me to basically set up a full desktop to use it. It’s great being able to just pull out the deck and get at it. It’s not the best way to play games, but it’s pretty nice for when I’m not home.

I did a 360 and walked out the theater.
