Seconding pop os for a solid starter Linux distro.
Been daily driving it for about 3 years now i think.

I tried for awhile to make osmc work on an raspi4 for media playing and it was always just… not quite there.
I ended up going with a Ebay mini pc with Plex on it and stream to my TV with a Roku stick. Just worked so much better without much effort on my part.
90 days? That’s so quick. I lived in my current city without a doctor for nearly a decade. Now I have an nurse practitioner and any appointment I want to make with them is always 6 months out.
This shit isn’t good enough.
Huh I always thought ventoy was just another iso to usb writer. I’ve been totally sleeping on the fact it can hold a bunch of isos and installs them directly. That’s so handy
Yea a proper tune would likely help a bunch in both performance and temps.
I’m pretty crap at bios tuning and usually just follow guides. I’ll try my hand at it this weekend if it’s not busy
I upgraded to this chip from a 5600g, there was much more improvement than I was expecting. Nothing life changing but a good boost nonetheless. It smoothed out a lot of frame rate drops in my games and is quite capable for productivity workloads.
Only issue now I gotta watch my heat a little more since I went from a 65w CPU to the 105w CPU built in a fractal node 202. Still running my stock cooler for the 5600g.
Same. played it at launch on PC. i might have been one of the lucky ones. No real show stoppers as far as glitches went.
It’s not a gaming specific OS, but ive been running Pop!_OS on my main PC for just about 3 years now with mostly successes. Steam runs great with proton and i use bottles for the rest of it (gog, battle.net, uplay, etc)
Mostly smooth. When I jumped onto pop os I think it was the 21.10 version which was good. Only the ng that I never got working was lutris. When 22.04 was released I updated to that and had some weirdness afterwards that I couldn’t quite iron out. I ended up doing a fresh install with 22.04 and it’s been great since.
I always wanted to learn. I had a number of failed attempts with Linux back in 2000, 2006, etc. I always gave it a shot every 5 years ago just to see.
I fully made the switch with pop os a couple years ago and it ended up sticking. I was in a better place to learn linux and pop os is just easy and noob friendly. This last time was also spurned on when the rumour was going around that windows 11 was going to have ads right in the explorer. I don’t know if that ever happened but it was enough to get me to give it another shot haha
Now keep going 'til they’re all dumped into the sea.
I feel and understand this entirely. The golden handcuffs are starting to lose their lustre
So grim and sad.
closing your eyes as the “rest at the inn” song plays in any of the dragon quests.
I hear ya, looking back I think went thru a similar thing in my 20s so I can understand that feeling.
It must be hard to dig out of if you’re surrounded by a bunch of people who are buying in or supporting that behavior
So cute of them to pretend that they give a fuck about kids or anyone outside their ridiculous worldview.
Audio Technica m50x with Bluetooth. I bought them for tracking when recording guitar or just jamming music. They have a flat response so it doesn’t add lows or highs or scoop mids. The Bluetooth option works great with pop os and is easy to switch between headphones mode (stereo audio) or headset (mono sound +mic) mode. Never worked on win10 for some reason.
noice! I used to work as a building controls programmer. I always loved seeing the panels that the fore-person would build up :)
Brings back that nice warm fuzzy feeling seeing dinrail, fingerduct, low voltage separated from line voltage.
First time seeing mitered corners on fingerduct. I kinda like it
Hate is a strong word, i don’t feel strongly enough about an os to really hate it. I still use a Windows 10 pc for my music production since all of my vsts work there and continue working there even after updates and whatever else.
My daily driver is running pop os. my main reason for switching was just a personal disagreement with the direction windows was going back around 2021ish when they were talking about integrated advertising in the file explorer. Linux was always something I wanted to get to learning so the timing just seemed right to switch over.
