I went from Windows to Mint, to Pop-OS, to EndeavourOS and haven't left EOS.

My time with Mint and Pop were about a week each. I switch from Windows to Linux 2 years ago.

For my experience, jumping into Arch feet first has been a great learning experience. My desktop PC is a gaming PC first, so having the most up to date packages has been great. It's helped 'de-mystify' Linux for me. I've had to troubleshoot issues, but thanks to Arch's excellent and extensive documentation, with some light reading I've manages to make it work.

I'm now moving on to setting up my own Homelab/Server, which will NOT be Arch based (...unless...?), because the experience with learning how to navigate Linux with Arch has given me the confidence to tackle something I have absolutely no experience in (NETWORKING).

Fuck any site that requires an account/subscription to view content.

But fuck Elons shitty site the most. Full support for banning links.

Fuck me, I now feel like a clown for taking advantage of that lifetime subscription I bought a couple of months back.

Echoing others just to say that if you plan on switching to Linux (and you should, gaming on Linux is a breeze and better than ever) you should definitely lean towards an AMD GPU for ease and convenience. It just works™

Replaced the stock OLED drive with the 2tb drive from the LCD this morning, and so far so good - no issues to report.

Even my modded games (New Vegas, Witcher 3) carried over with no problems.

So this is probably a dumb question, but I got a refurbished OLED and plan to pop my 2tb drive from my LCD model into the new OLED.

This should just be plug and play right? I don't see anything about the OLED decks using a different OS or firmware or anything.

EDIT: Thanks for the feedback y'all! I'm going to try it and see what happens. I'll report back if anything funky happens. Not a big deal if I end up needing to reformat the drive.

A season later after this, Hank and everyone else have become completely indifferent to shopping at the Megalow Mart, most likely due to local business being driven out or becoming complacent treat hogs due to the low prices.

A show truly ahead of its time for noticing the obvious patterns of the time. This mirrors my shitty small southern US town's experience of having Walmart come to town. A surprising amount of resistance (mostly from local business owners), then a complacency and even appreciation for the beast that devoured the local economy, because of the SAVINGS.

I finished season 1 about two weeks ago and thought it was great. I went into it knowing it was already canceled and there would be no season 2, but after finishing it I'm disappointed that the story will never have its ending.

Really great cast, and I think it did an excellent job of taking classical Greek mythos into modern times.

I give this movie my certified stamp of "I liked it".

I think the sub genre of camping-horror is pretty underutilized outside of Blair Witch derivatives, or the "oh no we're being hunted by a Sasquatch" slop that keeps getting made, so this movie doing something a little more unique was refreshing to see. The monster has a great design, and the surreal aspects of the convenience store incident popping up throughout was well done.

I've intermittently tried to get Shogun 2 running on Linux over the past two years and have not been able to get it to boot up. The native Linux version has been broken for a while, so this is great news.

Kinda unrelated, but the kind of person who cries about their post being removed for lionizing a problematic guy with paragraphs of justifation for why it being removed was an affront to all true leftists everywhere and how this site is literally 1984, are the same kind of people who seem to think their opinions are the most valid of opinions and people NEED TO see them, and the real injustice is the censoring of their enlightened takes.

Some of y'all need to separate the ego from your posting.
