  • So what did it take for you to go to Linux?

    Jump

  • For me, Windows 11 mandatory account, and Internet on setup. Yes there are bypasses, yes I could upgrade from 10. But where I'm from, having the internet isn't always a given.

    So imagine dropping $500-$1000 on a new laptop booting it up for the first time, and learning that its now a brick since Windows refuses to let you use it since you have no internet. No Pro license can unbork you from this.

    Even removed isn't that dumb (for now).

    The account thing is a personal beef I have with windows. I.e. my PC my account, why does it need to be online, I have no reason for it.

    So my plan was to migrate to FOSS or proper cross platform software for work, see if Linux works, and if it doesn't move to removed. So far Linux Mint has been stable.

  • The Best way to switch to Linux is to NOT

    Jump

  • This is how switched, though I’d recommend properly platform agnostic software (Windows, Mac, and Linux support) since if you don’t find Linux proper works for your workflow, you could switch to a Mac.

    Another thing which helped me was switching my Laptop first before my Desktop since if I had problems (which I did) I could loose my laptop and not worry about data loss.

    As of now, I am 2 year with Linux on my laptop and 6 months on my desktop with no noticeable difference between my Windows experience and Linux.

  • Recommendations for games to listen to audiobooks to?

    Jump

  • PixelJunk Monsters Ultimate, while I love the games music, it’s not necessary since it’s a tower defence game.

  • What's a perfect trilogy, Video Game, Movies, books, whatever.

    Jump

  • Spyro 1-3. First game set the mood. Second game refined the formula, last game had fun with it. Still play it to this day.

  • That was the reason we did it, though a wirelessly earbud and a call was less headache inducing.

  • Forget star signs, what key do you press to wake up your computer from sleep?

    Jump

  • Because years ago I made my PC password with Capslock on since a warning would show.

    So genius 13 year old me said, "hey even if someone knew my password, they'd never know how it was inputted."

    So my actual wake key is capslock.

    Only my PC uses this old password method now, everything else is passphrase+uniquekey

    Like google+lemmyworld

  • Forget star signs, what key do you press to wake up your computer from sleep?

    Jump

  • Depends the OS.

    Windows its Space

    On Linux shift since space will fill in the password field with spaces

  • I got my first taste of Modern Xbox.

    Jump

  • I see Game Pass as Rental. Good to try games out, but not a good, nor cheap way to own them.

  • New Release Audacity 3.6

    Jump

  • Ex Redditors of Lemmy what made you come on over? What happened at Reddit that you made the switch?

    Jump

  • API changes, I use to use Infinity for Reddit and it was good. Then they killed it effectively.

    So I moved to Eternity for Lemmy until support dropped. Now I'm on Voyager.

    Good apps design keeps me using a platform and I like the slower pace of Lemmy. I still use reddit for time to time especially for smaller communities. But do my part here.

  • Finally got myself Conkers Bad Furday and it came with a free Xbox

    Jump

  • But all I wanted to play was Conkers /s

    30 games for $9.19 is a steal of a deal.

  • Games that stuck with you

    Jump

  • Rollercoaster Tycoon. What was a silly little game which we got for free out of a cereal box is now a main stay on any computer I own. Runs on everything and has aged incredibility well.

    Shoutout to OpenRCT2 for modernizing it, even if the original games run fine as is

  • Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales?

    Jump

  • Instruction unclear, spent more money than I had, so now I owe the mafia money. Any idea on how to pay them back?

  • After 20+ year I've finally finished Oracle of Ages

    Jump

  • Nah, not much of an achievement hunter. And filling in the map in GBC Zelda usually gets you most of the secrets.

  • I've tried it, but honestly when I started this session of Ages I didn't care. Might do it when replaying Seasons thou.

    Jump

  • Had a Vita 1000 since launch (got the first edition bundle). Then years later I got a Vita2SD which destroyed the card reader (my mistake). So I got this JP Vita 2000 since I wanted one in Blue and the Vita 2000 is pricey.

    Retroarch is a wonderful tool to play older games on whatever you have, though it's a lot of work, the effort to get a device like a GBxCart or to hack a 3DS to get the ROMs is worth playing.

    Personally I miss small form factor systems like the Vita, and hope that there will be a Steam Deck Lite one day that is pocketable.
