When I was a kid I LOVED oatmeal creampies. Now that I’m an adult I still love creampies, just not the oatmeal ones.

Haha, that’s like the exact opposite of me. I had a shorthair female for about 5 years before recently adopting a Longhair male. They also hate each other. 😂

Pretty sure bisexual means you don’t have sex at all.

Hold up. Some people think cats are worse than dogs? Wtf.

Hey hey hey, three inches is more than enough to get the job done!

The fucking AI decomps SUCK too. I can’t be the only who who’s noticed. Bugs, performance issues, missing features, etc. Sure, technically they work, but it’s not a great experience. Every time I see a new decomp posted my very first question is “was it done with AI?”, Because if it was, I probably won’t bother with it.

This feels like it was made by someone who was bored during their shift at the help desk lol

I always go to bed early enough to get 7-8 hours of sleep, but according to the sleep tracker on my watch, I sleep like shit. It’s no wonder I’m always so fucking tired.

Good, now stop requiring manufacturers to include the fucking Copilot key on the keyboard. Bastards.

The person(s) in question are likely not even in the US given their response.

Lol, my cat literally has to be sedated before going to the vet. She’s absolutely sweet towards me but does NOT trust anyone else.

Please step up to the DP altar.

Around 2006 I watched a video on YouTube of a guy showing off Pendrive Linux booting from a USB drive and it blew my mind that you could run an entire OS from a lowly USB drive. I then made my own and used it to play games on the computers at my middle school and have been unfortunately addicted to Linux ever since. Later on in my 20s I took a Linux class in college and my professor was really impressed I already knew so much about Linux. 8 years of “brute forcing it” taught me quite a bit. Now I’m a jaded network administrator and have also settled on Mint because the last thing I want to do in my free time is fix my own fucking computer.

I believe the ones pumping it up are the “AI bros” and “tech bros” AKA non-technical folks. These types don’t actually have the skills or knowledge to put together something like this themselves so they rally around Omarchy because that work has already been done for them.

That’s good to hear. I just recently ordered some of that phase change material for my 6700 XT. I’m hoping it’s going to rein in the temps a bit. I’ve also seen my card hit 110°C tjunction which is decidedly not excellent.

There are native Linux games, as few and far between as they are.

I’m not ignoring it. I even said it was great in my original post. I just don’t believe putting all of the eggs in the Proton basket is a good idea.

No mention of thermals. My RX 6700XT is like a freaking space heater. I hope things have improved on the AMD side in that regard.

The argument that Proton purely drives Linux adoption without disincentivizing native development ignores how publishers behave in reality. Instead of inspiring studios to eventually target Linux as a primary platform, Proton gives them an excuse to ignore the platform entirely while washing their hands of compatibility when updates break things. There are already SEVERAL cases where developers have pushed updates to games that worked in proton previously but no longer do. For Honor, Rust, Apex Legends, GTA V to just name a few. When developers treat Proton as a convenient accident rather than a target, it doesn’t pave the way for a native future. It creates a volatile ecosystem where a single background update can permanently strand players on an unsupported island, with the studio refusing to spend a dime to fix it. Proton keeps Linux users as second class citizens.

I mentioned this as a potential issue with Proton when it first started blowing up and was largely dismissed. It’s great that it works. It’s really amazing on Valve’s part what it can do and the gap it bridged. The problem is that it does NOT incentivize developers to support Linux natively. In fact, it does the exact opposite.

EDIT: For those who don’t see why this is an issue - Proton means in the eyes of developers linux users are mostly second class citizens. There are already several cases of developers pushing updates that break proton compatibility and the developers simply shrug their shoulders and move on.
