Tetsuo

I’m the only linux user in my group of friends and fortunately my switch didn’t change anything.

I never was late or anything to play because every game starts well now. My controller only works when steam is started though so I think I still can improve that by installing the steam compatibility driver package thing.

Honestly dont give up OP. Once you will have completely setup your games and got to know your system better it will run fine.

I also hated Windows so much I moved to cachyos earlier this year and I’m not turning back. Also I have never played as much video games since my switch to cachyos. The change of OS and the fact that I again feel “in control” of my computer again had somehow reinvigorated my fun playing games with friends.

Basically, OP, dont give up! If I can make it everyday with my group of friends, you can manage it too with yours (even if they sound rather immature). Honestly once you will have setup games on proton so many times you will be able to avoid most problems in a matter of minutes.

IE we bought and played a game on a whim with 4 players. It wasn’t working on cachyos-proton so I quickly changed it to my emergency GE-Proton compatibility and it worked right away.

The last big tracker was YGG. I would look for its replacement.

I had enough of this “Big AI agenda”.

Yes the oligarchs at the top are the most evil and corrupted people ever. Sure. Ok. Understood.

But what does it have to do with Linus and the kernel project ? He is not like vouching for them or even for their specific models. And it’s not like there isn’t open source AI models too. There is, and pretty good one at that.

But no, AI is the obligatory Claude code or chatgpt obviously…

Damn if only Lemmynautes could understand that we can’t be dumb enough to consider AI as one big proprietary monolotic block. It is not and Linus is well aware of that.

And by the way, Linus I’m sure understand very well the agenda of the big evil corps. It’s just not his problem. He is leading the kernel open source project. He is not involved in a crusade against AI and I’m so glad he will focus on that instead of “picking a side”. If there is anybody I trust to use the tech effectively and pragmatically it’s the kernel open source project.

It’s not complicated truly, all AI models are not the same. They dont come from the same business, the same country, they don’t have the same licence.

If we used half the energy we use to vociferate about big corps AI to actually create open source (and copyright respecting) models that would really improve the situation in the future.

It’s more than time for the open source community to wake up and actually create their own models, built ethically and in accord with the OSS ethos.

Obviously, I’m well aware of the destruction of our planet by AI datacenters but again that is a problem for politicians, not freaking Linus Torvald.

If i understand correctly it is a message within a blank file. So it is not steganography, I suppose.

At least I dont think a seemingly blank file would pass as a valid message.

That’s what I think is defining for steganography is that it is deceptive because you might not assume another secret message is hidden within the original message.

DDG is an US based company. They will comply to all the patriot act bullshit and pipeline all your searches to the NSA…

If they really cared about privacy they wouldn’t be based in the US.

There is a non-zero chance this post is a cheater asking on how to build a aimbot…

It’s mostly for the pocket sand. If someone attacks a toddler, he can stand his ground and cast pocket sand to retaliate.

You can all praise all you want Valve, but when Gabe is out you will see the enshitification real fucking quick.

Monopolies are never a good thing for the consumers on the long run.

I hope all the Arch based distros will do a proper post to inform their users on how to cleanup afterwards.

I’m hoping at least cachyos, the distro I use, will tell me exactly how to check and clean my system.

I remember that when I installed a few of my AUR package, I was well aware that this repo was pretty much unregulated and that I just have to trust it’s safe. So I made sure to only use AUR as a last resort. But there was warnings on cachyos that were displayed to tell me to be cautious about it so that’s at least a positive.
