  • What is your favorite TV show of all time?

    Jump

  • Doctor Who.

  • Advanced media literacy

  • I can separate the art from the artist. for example I like the monster hunter series by Larry Corriea, and the Kildar series by John Ringo. Both are massive right wing dumbasses. So I consume their content, I just make sure to never pay for it so they never get a dime from me.

    On a side note, if you want a good laugh,you really should read Ringo's 2008 novel "The Last Centurion."

    It's his take on a global environmental catastrophe and how a poorly substituted Hillary Clinton clone bungles the whole thing.

    The best part is he's come damn close to predicting how the Trump administration works right now. It's fuckin' hilarious!

  • You do realize you sound like the "AKShully" meme right?

  • I have a 7900XTX and don't like the fact that there is no software support. Only drivers. Plus you get worse framerates than on windows.

  • I'll probably get around to dual booting Zorin. except I'll be using Linux for productivity and windows for gaming.

  • Dualboot is evil, use only linux

    Jump

  • If I do go back it, will be back to Zorin. very simple installation, and everything worked. For example, on Zorin, my bluetooth would connect to my headphones just fine. On Arch, they saw my headphones, but refused to connect. I tried a few fixes I found online but just gave up and went wired.

  • Linux isn't there yet.

    How do I know? because I JUST tried to move over to linux.

    First I tried Zorin OS, and TBH it pretty much worked right out of the box.

    BUT!

    My monitor would only go up to 120hz Refresh rate, even though it can do 144hz natively. And games that are supposed to work on Linux (Arma 3) did not work no matter what I did. And forget about VR.

    So I tried Arch.

    And Jesus Christ...

    Zorin was as easy to install as windows.

    ARCH is actively trying to stop you from installing it.

    So I did what most people do and youtube'd how to install Arch and oh my god, I encountered the living embodiment of the "Linux user meme" so hard when I did that.

    But I finally was sort of able to get it up and running. Of course there are no list of packages that you will need for the smooth operating of Arch. Like I dunno, how about a file manager?

    So I said fuck it and was going to try to install steamOS. but I fucked up formatting the drives and USB drive.

    Fortunately, I had an old windows installer kicking around and finally able to get windows re-installed.

    So my opinion for now is simply "Not ready for prime time... yet."

    But when it does maybe I will give it another try.
