That app probably

Exactly why I won’t be on a distro if it doesn’t support kde.

I’ve been all over I’m on arch currently for the first time. It was nice using my PC and having to install the thing I wanted.

It was a good change.

I came from kde neon because I enjoy apt… but yay and pacman work currently so I’ll stick with it for a bit.

Often times better… I have a 1080p 5.1 surround version of sg1. Prime has a 4:3 version with 2.0 audio, not to mention it’s super dark.

Pihole will log DNS requests. The requests come.from the TV. So when it pops up, Block it.

I would go wired… get a switch, run an Ethernet cable from the dorm wall to the switch then out from your switch to your PC.

That said the university is probably handling DHCP and dns… You could use a USB WiFi plug to generate a hotspot off your PC. if you wanted to run your own wifi…

But honestly the dorms WiFi with you using a VPN to a major service is probably easier everyday use wise.

Let me just say this… my college lost WiFi connectivity for about 2 months once when I was there.
The only people who had WiFi were the folks connected to the pirate wireless. Because folks were doing the wired device --> hotspot deal with their desktops.

So might not hurt to be prepared.

Also… The dns settings for your device… you should set those. If you use DNS from your university… It lets them control what you can and cannot see on the net.

Worked in the docudrama “the Flintstones”

It’s a visio.

Literally the cheapest 32inch TV that best buy had.

It’s absolutely unusable with the ads disabled.

Horrific television.

Pihole on your network… And block Internet access to the TV…

Tho… a while back the wife and I bought a dirt cheap 32 inch TV from bestbuy… it will literally turn itself on to deliver an advertisement if you power it off while in an app. (Skipping the home page)

Pihole crashes it.

We bought it for watching football outside so it’s unplugged for the majority of the year… but that’s still absolutely unacceptable. Imho

I work for a small dev company. We have no idea what other silos are working on. Only 1-2 people at the very top have some sort of inkling… Maybe.

In a company that large… I don’t doubt that projects get filed under a very large encompassing epic (or the equivalent for what ever scrum software they are using) and not overly discussed with the business majors / marketing people that are the c-level people now.

Yeah ranked was bull shit.

Some of my best gaming times was being drunk and playing with friends.

But man… the community became so toxic… and once it went free to play… it went to complete shit.

I’m not going to spend $20 on a goal explosion.

Fuck all that noise.

My wife had a kid about a year ago now… before that I had been dual booting win10 on one drive… kubuntu on the other…

I kept win10 for rocket league… When the kiddo popped out. I didn’t have time to play… Anything at all actually.

So I just turned the win10 drive into a storage drive and I don’t miss win10 or rocket league at all.

Any games I want to play I can install via steam and proton and I’m good.

Not that I get to play anything with an 11 month old. Haha

It’s a different world now.

All jokes aside. Anything you use these days is going to be pretty stable, have all of your driver’s (unless it’s absolutely the bleeding edge) and play steam games.

Hell Nvidia isn’t even an issue anymore.

But I’ll qualify that by saying I’m on a 47xx i5 and a 1060.

Bunter2

Man for real.

I have more time in Minecraft that I do all of my other games combined probably doubled.

I have spent an absurd amount of time playing Minecraft. Lol

Hands down my favorite game everhands down my favorite game ever

All I’ve ruined for you is disappointment

Haha I agree arch is the meme recommendation. It has its benefits like you’ve detailed out… but it’s not for a windows convert. I’ve ran it, it can require more fiddling than some of the other distros. Tinkering that newbies can’t do.

Me I’m an apt man. So I tend to suggest distros that center around that package manager… it just so happens that they are some of the newbie ones.

I once installed mint on my ex father in laws machine and it ran perfectly for ages for him (with auto updates) They were spending $$$s a quarter on windowa system cleanup due to viruses. As he was an online slot machine / junk flash game player. So of course he would get all the viruses. Once he went mint, he had 0 issues (with the os) the issues he had was more user error with online behavior.

Anyway. No problem for the gruffness of your reply, as I agree with what you’ve said. :)

I thought the ice wall was knocked down by the white walker dragon…

You know what I’m not even going to continue this joke because I don’t want to give any credit to season 8

Fuck D&D Where is the Lemmy version of /r/freefolk?

Folks will say arch.

But honestly any modern Linux system with 3rd party drivers will work. Mint pop_os arch Manjaro Debian Ubuntu etc

I’m running a 1660 and an i5 64xx on kubuntu 24.04 Granted that stuff is older but you’ll have the same experience.

Unless you’re running the absolute bleeding edge… You’ll not have a lot of problems.

*Ymmv of course but majority of folks won’t have issues.
