CachyOS is great, and it’s my daily driver on my main rig, but I put Bazzite on a laptop specifically so that anyone in my household could use and maintain it. It’s not for everyone, but it’s a good use case for anyone who wants to set it and forget it.

Man, Douglas Adams was a real one.

I’m waiting for it to be inverted.

As far as I know, Private Internet Access will continue to offer .ovpn files.

I am still currently a customer, and I’ve had no issues with them, however be warned: they have a bit of a sordid history regarding who eventually bought them (Kape Technologies). Also, they’re based in the US, which has been sliding towards Digital ID enforcement and fascism.

If it doesn’t work, try going into reading mode, then reloading the page. Often times, that catches many of the problematic sites that try to block Reading Mode

I vaguely remember it having a USB mode, but it’s been a long time. Check the settings.

It also nuked some of the popular Gnome extension integrations. It also kept the “test mic” channel open, even after I had closed it. Needed to restart to fix it.

Overall, it seems to come with some functional bugs, in addition to the UI changes.

Also, chargebacks aren’t zero-sum for the merchant. It costs them money on top of the cost of the sale, so enough people doing it would likely lead to legal action against the AI companies that negatively affect merchants’ bottom line.

Lists should be like this

1. Apples
2. Oranges
3. Bananas

And it will show up like this:

1. Apples
2. Oranges
3. Bananas

Broderbund made it‽ It must have been awesome!

I miss that company…

This is precisely what I do on my current system. All games live on a separate hard drive, and Steam knows that’s the default library.

That’s honestly probably a good sign. It means we’ve now come to a point in scientific achievement where that is a genuine possibility that we consider.

Before anyone gets too worried, remember that the FBI is run by Kash Patel, who is a nepo hire and certified idiot.

No.

Right? How about neither option? How about Authoritarianism is bad, regardless of who’s doing it?

Precisely. Just ask Naomi Wu (SexyCyborg) how much she enjoys the surveillance state, how much she enjoyed being disappeared for a few months, how much she enjoys being told not to do any more techno State Resistance content, and how much she enjoys being able to leave but can’t, because her partner is queer.

Really, its a bunch of people who either like being in an in-group and/or they like feeling superior/powerful by promoting authoritarian communism.

We all have different knowledge bases. You were close, I was just providing a little more clarity. No snark meant or intended!

Have a nice day!

So what I hear you saying is: install PikaOS, a Debian-based gaming distro.

(h/j 😉)

Distrobox is there for other software and works for most cases. The only time I personally had trouble was with VPN software clients.

There’s definitely a learning curve with atomic distros, and I agree that it’s worth trying to surmount it.
