This is the conclusion that anyone with any bit of expertise in a field has come to after 5 mins talking to an LLM about said field.

The more this broken shit gets embedded into our lives, the more everything is going to break down.

Because he runs the federal government right now, and the federal government has power over the states, so he will punish them.

I use KDE. Have you messed with “edit mode” on the desktop yet (just right click on the desktop and hit “edit mode”). There’s also tons of themes and other visual customizations on their site (that you can either access manually on a browser, or access through KDE itself when in the theme settings). You can make it look pretty much however you want.

I despise the way Windows looks and feels.

Simping the worlds largest ad company is weird to me

I don’t know who you’re referring to here… Is that how you read my comments?

Yeah I’m familiar with all that… Though one correction, Proton is a “translation layer,” not an emulator. Same with wine (it’s right in the name).

My experience has been that, often, the Windows version with Proton works better than the native Linux version. And most of the time, it just works with “Proton Experimental” or the most recent GE-Proton release.

ProtonDB is a better resource than Steam’s own compatibility rating. I’ve been able to install and play several “unsupported” games on my Linux laptop (like Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition with DSFix).

The majority of games will play. It’s kind of crazy how well it works.

Bummer, sorry to hear that.

I don’t know about “proudly.” Preferred to Apple? Sure.

and it certainly looks a lot slicker.

As someone who is still required to use Windows on my work laptop, hard disagree.

Not sure which Sims you’re referring to, but it looks like it should work: https://www.protondb.com/search?q=the+Sims+

It looks like The Sims 4 is the only one that might need some tinkering. Stupid EA installers…

Though the only entry for the first Sims game that appears in the results is the “Legacy Collection,” so if you’re referring to like the original CD-ROM or something, it might be different.

Edit: just noticed that Sims 3 doesn’t appear to have any entries on ProtonDB so I don’t know… If any of them don’t work is most likely because of EA bullshit

Games are a big one for sure

Unless we’re talking about the handful of kernel-level anti-cheat games where the devs have refused to allow Linux support through Proton, nearly every game you own will work. Most of them without any tinkering whatsoever.

People who haven’t tried Linux in a couple of years need to read this.

The amount of progress that has been made with respect to Linux gaming over the past few years has been astonishing.

Bill Burr calls it, “driving an iPad”

His sexuality doesn’t mean anything to me either, I was just pointing out the incongruity.

Every fucking day these pieces of shit show us new and creative ways of destroying this country.

You don’t have to trust them any more than you trust your local Starbucks WiFi

I don’t really trust that either

Ehhh… I would maybe cancel the data part of my plan, but I dunno how comfortable I would be relying on notoriously spotty and insecure public Wi-Fi services to make or receive phone calls.

This is not inconsequential at all, it’s literally a bribe

Dude. We know.

On nerdy sites like Lemmy people tend to fawn over Google and they can do no wrong

Uhhhh… What. My experience has been the literal opposite. People here hate Google
