Also are you going to use X11 or Wayland for Plasma?Anyway, good luck anon.
>>107880977>able to get to the login screenIs your user in the input group? One time, I forgot, and couldn't get past the DM's login screen until I fixed it. Autologin still worked fine tho.
Damn bro. Only took me like 10 minutes to setup Arch with 'archinstall'.

Talk about VHS tapes.NOW!
I recently learned that retards are calling VCRs VHS-players nowSerenity now

>>107882924>unless you are obsessed audiophile.You kinda have to be an audiophile or the sort of weirdo who would record tapes. Reason? Last time I checked there where even 3.5mm to cassette converters if you happen to have a very old car with stock radio that only has cassettes you can go for something like that and hook a phone or mp3 player.

What happened to all the AGI hype? Meta fired LeCun, everyone admits scaling is dead, even Sam Altman has shut the fuck up after GPT 5 flopped.
The "magic" has worn off, investors are getting cold feet and want to see results.So now they're frantically trying to drag it out at least past the mid-terms.

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I am on Mint right now, if I switch to Pop OS, will my Steam saves work on Pop OS? Also, how's COSMIC? Ready for gayming?
>>107883738I can understand that. I still dual boot for gaming and find myself using w10 IoT LTSC / enjoying it most of the time. I do think gnome's workflow is amazing and unmatched in the PC space for my personal work, but Linux is barely ready for desktop. I'd say it's best function currently is what it already is for most that aren't using it as a server- a steam deck type thing or a hobby. I mainly use Linux but that's a preference of enjoying tinkering and hating Microsoft.
>>107880620I've used Pop for years and have never had an issue. It's solid despite what the distro warriors and windows skills here say.Your steam saves are cloud based. For games that use local saves you should back them up on a thumb drive. Once you install you'll not need to do much at all to start gaming again. One thing you'll want to install is ProtonQT to get older versions of Proton for games that need it. Otherwise, as I said, it's a solid plug and play distro.
>>107883771Sounds nice, gonna move to pop tonight. Cosmic looks interesting

whats the best mouse ever?
love my g502 proteus core. no issues with it at all. love hyperscroll.bought a superlight when it came out for more portable use. piece of shit started doubleclicking after a year of minimal use. $150 fuckin mouse. finally swapped the switches out and now it feels awesome.and then don't get me started on their keyboards.i barely use the arrow keys and they're the most worn keys on the keyboard...wtfi don't think i can go back to logitech. cost doesn't match the quality. hyperscroll is so useful though. shame they have it patented.
>>107855340I wish there was a WIDE, WIDE, WIDE, WIDE AS FUCK mouse. Hate the little skinny shits.Currently using a G600. It's alright.

I love this little guy. Works great and comes free with my Mac. I make sure to use it every day. I think it's starting to become a problem, because I even make presentations where I break down why my husband annoyed me that day. He's not against it though.
Why don't we have these kind of GPU repair shops in the west? I also want a custom GPU: https://youtu.be/TcRGBeOENLg
>>107881856in a sense they replace nvidia approved components with worse components and actually do more harm than good, in a way "simply slapping chips on" would actually be the better option even if it will leads to the same fried outcome lmao

>>107875583sounds extremely low to be quite honest>New York City consumes approximately1 billion gallons of water per day (BGD) to serve its roughly 8.3 million residents,
>>107883768you are removing usable, drinkable water from locations where it is scarce and adding it to unusable salt water. It then redistributes itself, and not equally - areas where it was scarce before will be even more scarce in future. This is a cumulative process. Continually removing a resource from where it is scarce without addressing the basic issue of uneven distribution and hoping this somehow all balances itself out in the end is not good practice. tldr, wasting precious drinkable water, on shit like this when there are SO many other, better options, is fucking retarded.

I want to send as much of a signal as possible, that I don't agree with how the internet is right now. Even if it's just virtue signalling right now, if enough people did it, especially the later, there would be a response eventually. We are their cattle, after all. If shit ever hits the fan for real, then I'm acutely aware it's not enough with an extension an a PFP.
