In Indonesian, there's an idiom "guru kencing berdiri, murid kencing berlari" which literally translates to teacher pee standing, students pee running. Meaning that students/followers learn not only good examples but the bad as well, and will one day be better at it than their predecessors.

This is for real the Linux desktop year for me, went through the switch just before the new year. Had to reinstall a couple times but no big deal, and I get to learn as well.

Not sure if out-of-the-box distros are now that user friendly yet or not, but I remember getting Ubuntu running several years ago was frustrating (no sound, bad sound quality etc) and now running EOS was pretty smooth. Pretty sure something like Mint will be user friendly enough for the general population.

I have been running half marathons in 2023, and though there's no speed improvement, the last race I didn't feel much pain and the recovery was much shorter. This is notable for me because I injured my ACL 10 years ago, and now my knee is better than ever since then.

I'll have to train more though, sub 2 hrs half marathon is still so far away 😅

It's actually pretty good! I made it several times when I was a kid. It will curdle a little bit though...

So the article from valve is to support those who use NTFS anyway, but if I'm formatting the lib drive as BTRFS, it should be buttery smooth? (Probably not that smooth but gotta make the pun)

Thanks for the recommendation, will definitely look into this!

I see, you're probably right...I remember trying mounting ext4 drive on Windows and couldn't get it to work. I'll probably experiment a little with NTFS, maybe the devs have worked it out? But I'll keep your warning in mind. Thanks for the input!

I see...that could probably affect a shared steam library I guess? I'm aiming to use almost exclusively though, wish me luck!

Glad you're happy with EOS, I hope it will fit me as well.

While I don't have technical issues with Windows so far.... they are obviously having a massive FOMO at the shitty cash-grab business model of many tech platforms (especially with the rumor of Win 12...) and I'm not OK with that.

Thanks for your reply! That's reassuring.

Yes, it's already a bit shitty, so it's time to be an active part of the Linux community. Year of the Linux desktop amirite!

 

Hello Linux community,

I'm getting a 2TB pcie gen 4 SSD to replace a 1TB gen 3 SSD.

I'm going to start dual booting Linux (looking at Endeavouros because vibes), because it seems that sooner rather than later, Windows will be enshittified. I'm a beginner though in using Linux, only had a bit experience with Raspbian on a raspberry pi for a personal data server. I'm looking to game mainly on Linux, and slowly phase out Windows, eventually only for specific uses if any.

So the plan is: 2TB gen 4 - Win & Linux + general software (productivity, CAD, coding, etc.) 1TB gen 3 - Game library 2TB SATA HDD - Data, long term storage

So my goal to separate the game library is not for performance, but rather to utilize the available hardware, and organization.

Is there any downside to doing this? Are there known issues with Proton and Wine with this config? NVDIA GPU if that's relevant.

If you guys have experience or any input please help a dude out.

I'd assume driving would be the worst for mental health since you don't get any exercise and can't do anything else either. You can finish some work or read a book on the train, or get some exercise through walking or biking, but with cars none of these.
