@adiz @dushman Genshin is on my ally, so it doesnt really count for this, but there is so many games that should work on linux that just don't for me on my desktop too. And its quite new, updated drivers, updated mint, heroic game launcher with proton etc. Its a total crapshoot and the proton launcher means nothing. Like, eg plague innocence worked perfectly right away, but other games with gold proton ratings just wont start/crash.

Windows easier. :D

Linux when I know not going to game xD

@adiz @dushman But yeah I have discord, telegram, zoom, spotify etc on my mint too. And of course instagram and youtube and mastodon etc can just be used online. Qbittorrent has linux version too and I use libreoffice anyway. It's a great daily driver, I just miss my pretty fancy opera GX :( but apart from that it has everything.

So I mostly use windows for very specific software too: games. It's just that specific niche is most of my computing time LOL

@adiz @dushman understandable, just a shame that windows 10 won't be getting updates anymore after mid next year. Then again, 10 years is a very decent timeframe for updates. Someone should really tell that to most linux distros, like wth does kubuntu get only 9 months or like 5 years on LTS - I get that you can upgrade it for free, but it very very often breaks things, you need to backup first etc, its a hassle. 9 months is insane XD

@adiz @dushman I was thinking so too, but it seems a lot of the games with perfect steam deck ratings still don't seem to want to work in my pc... and I don't have any weird distro or drivers or hardware installed :(

Heck, I tried kubuntu, deepin, and mint, and it was the same in all three :/

Hopefully it gets better. Untill then, modern games on windows, old games/emulators on linux. :D (Either pc or, mostly, ally or r36s handheld xD)

@dushman well I still like windows 11, but it's less peak xD

Of course it's only win 11 on my ally, and my gaming desktop runs both 11 and mint mate. As long as not every game runs on Linux without any bs, I'll dual boot XD

Oh and an old hp probook 3rth gen i5 laptop with 8 gb of ram and a 120 gb SSD that runs windows XP. Every few months I break it out and play an old game on it. Obviously it makes quick work of Windows XP era games as it's 7 era xD

Hell with mint it's perfect still

@dushman nice save then xD XP was peak

Or maybe 7 actually, the search feature within the start menu so you didn't have to remember which folder every program or game was in was a godsend xD

@dushman I'm sorry is that windows XP or *shudder* windows Vista?

@foone isn't the internet cable used to bring it to your house a thin tube? 🧠

@nixCraft I'm fine with my windows 11 dual boot (it's needed for some games like Genshin at least without workarounds and also apex and such completely, and I'll never give up any game I like not even one for anything let alone some ai feature), but I write in either old Ms office 2003 or libreoffice. Don't want my yaoi ship smut fics used for ai slop lol

Windows is a need though, I'd sooner shoot myself then give up my awesome rog ally or or even 1 game. My hobbies are everything to me xD

@mikunuma @lamp It even has a "monitor" preset though I always just use the default settings as they look great

@mikunuma @lamp More importantly, this is a 32 inch full hd philips smart tv (it was free to take downstairs for some reason in perfect condition like brand new so I put it as monitor), modern tv like this IS designed to display text - or anything - its just a fancy monitor with build in apps and android that also happens to have HDMI and other inputs...

@lamp I mean, if I take a high end screen and decrease the brightness, the colors dont get worse, it just gets less bright, so I think its not the backlight.

But wouldnt calibration help? https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000194424/how-to-calibrate-lcd-panel-color-temperature-in-windows-10

@lamp ahh its trying so hard 🥺

Before trying to fix it... I wonder if it isnt perfect to use for emulating old handhelds like gba and systems like megadrive and snes and ps1 and such? With a CRT filter? That might make it look more like the originals did back in the day lol

(oh and for reading texts. I wasnt joking, its easier on my eyes to type fanfics or read large texts or even use discord or this site on that HP probook then the TV connected to my pc as main monitor)

@nixCraft funny but not true... Linux mint detected and configured my Apu Radeon graphics, rtx 3060 ti, printer and sound and two monitors all out of the box. Didn't have to click a thing . XD

@nixCraft Huh? What you mean?

The privacy might not be perfect, but the entire population of China can if they want get acces to uncensored internet through them. And Russia. And many many more countries.

Thats not a scam.

@foone I love it ;3 does it do all the other flags too?

But now, show of your skills by playing wing commander on that Pentium (you'll see why when you try... let's just say it's extra challenging)

@vaartis why not salami and cheese? ;3

@CatboyCody @LunaFoxgirlVT I have almost a master degree in computer science. How the f*ck do I open an empty untitled window on windows? XD

@mja Wait, is Estonia big enough for more then 1 bank to manage by a central one?
