Bedbugs in executive offices is best. Make them feel the pain.

I moved to Linux Mint after a brief stint with Manjaro. I don’t prefer the Cinnamon interface, but gaming has been perfect. Bottles, allows me to install GOG Galaxy and the games run. I even modded Skyrim using a manual process and a ton of animation mods, that worked alright a lot of times with Vortex ( for the most part).

Linux can handle NTFS partitions, and just take a small line to fix if they are open during a crash. Flatpak software is really stable to install and keep installed.

I haven’t yet had a problem with steam games.

The only problem I have is with streaming services forcing Windows usage, so I got a VPN and raised the Jolly Roger to watch streaming services.

My 3080 plays games fine, and the few times it got a little slow I rebooted and it all worked fine. Discord calls and Twitch work fine. I even take my VA Online appointments with no issues.

It’s closer to going back to Windows 7 or XP, with a decent free office software.

My tinfoil hat theory is that he was on the run after being deposed. The Cartel has a new head and wanted to remove any trace if the old regime, which is why he took El Chapo’s kid to Texas.

Or an even crazier idea is that he’s the payment for those tourists that got killed a few months ago.

Thanks. I will look up that distro.

It’s really all about having a way to get past encryption so they can spy on everyone indiscriminately. It’s pushed that it’s to save kids and unmask pedos, but the people in charge know the pedophiles are their rich donors.

It’s about controlling opposition and making sure the wealthy can stay on top. Imagine if no small business can hide their information from their competitors.

Sadly Bazzite doesn’t work well with Nvidia. But that would have been my choice.

Thanks for the info. I’ve noticed that having an Nvidia GPU may be my downfall. I would hate to have to switch my 3080 for my son’s 6800XT or even have to buy another GPU When I need to switch.

I have spent over 30 years doing IT work, so figuring out another OS won’t be too hard since I’ve worked through almost everything starting in the 90’s.

Sorry I’m late, but I would say that that case means a system should have rules to define when and where the majority of the files are at. Or at least a defined way to declare which system is one-way, and which is two-way.

The old Google Calendar system had that flag, so I find it strange that Apple wouldn’t, unless they really want to push the iCloud data Subscription model.

I think the issue comes that it only syncs messages one way and doesn’t sync on deletions. Apple should have messages that are removed from all devices when removed from the phone, but it didn’t remove messages when deleted.

Sure the guy is a moron for being a cheater and scumbag, but Apple should remove deleted messages. That’s a privacy problem with Apple’s sync. I don’t use Apple devices due to other Apple crap, but setting up iCloud sync should have a warning when items won’t be deleted and only will be downloaded to devices.

Wasn’t an entire stupid movie about the horrible sync pitfalls in Apple devices premiered years ago?

Yep, I will switch to Linux before I get another OS from Microsoft. Once 10 goes away, I jump onto a Linux distribution and use Proton.

I was hoping for a Steam Created distribution to come out, but I’ve been waiting for that for years. I’m just too lazy to switch over before I have to.

As much as I want “Jarvis” OS system, I really don’t want the version made by Microsoft, Google, or, Apple.

I want to be able to talk with my AI PC, but I want secure AI that’s just for me and won’t steal all my data for any Corporations to browse.

They just want private Corporate Gestapo. Which is totally better than Government run Gestapo. Private “Corporations” always make the right choices.

Iran should have plenty of material for a dirty bomb from their joint Russian reactor project many many years back. The problem is that the US can fingerprint Uranium to where it was mined after a blast due to each mine having their own set of impurities based on the region the material came from.

If the he material used in the peaceful electrical reactor project ends up in a bomb, it could be used as Casus Belli for a Nuclear Reaponse against Iran and Russia by Israel and the US.

I’m wondering when the time will come to start turning into modern John Brown’s, or will the Billionaires have succeeded in outlawing all guns before people wake up?

The modern gun control movement has been bankrolled by Billionaires for decades and used the media to sit fear of guns so that their control will never be overthrown.

Every pleb is a consumer who must slave and consume.

I really wish it was this easy to get the meds I actually need. I’ve been dealing with Chronic Pain for over 20 years now and still can’t get enough meds to function as a normal person.

I gave my Index to my son who has the time and physicality to use it. I’m just too old for action gaming now.

I would have loved it if I was 30 years younger. I can do more from a chair with my desktop PC than an Apple Vision Pro can. It’s just another Apple Con.

It seems like a similar play when thr Sci-fi channel changed their name to SyFy and canceled the greatest science fiction shows and replaced them with Wrestling and ghost-hunting reality TV to save money.

The Discovery Merger saddled HBO with the debt from the purchase of HBO, and removing Expensive scripted shows with costly actors is a way to save money. As well as closing series to take the losses as tax deductions for the future.

My guess is that repair costs are higher because they have to be sent out for expensive repairs because the car software is locked down so they cannot repair them in-house.

That’s what the future is coming to with cars. No more fixing with your own parts at home.

He only bought Twitter because he was forced to or admit he was trying to manipulate the stock again.

He bought a much higher stake, used Twitter to telegraph a higher price than it was worth. Then he didn’t use his own money when he was finally forced to purchase Twitter at the higher price he tweeted. The money he used to purchase Twitter came from countries who have stated they didn’t want Twitter to be around because it hurt their public perception when they were caught doing shady things.

His Twitter gift started the same way the SEC sued him for market manipulation for his Tesla manipulation years before. Publishing his $420 price point then selling stock when the price goes beyond his tweeted price point.

He was never savy enough to use shorting like the Hedge funds do, but his reach among the idiot masses to cause jumps in price to artificially male a bigger profit.

Han was a graduate of the Imperial Military Academy before being discharged for saving Chewbacca from slavery.

He was awarded the Corellian Bloodstripes during that period of time.

Unless the new Canon retconned all of that away.
