So now what distro are we running for LTS desktops?
  • Agree, also confused because Debian seemed to get security updates rather frequently when I've used it.

    That's like their whole thing, stable and security updates. I would be curious if there are examples of exploits that weren't patched quickly on Debian stable.

  • I've been buying the few games I play on GOG, so that means I can't sell my CS:GO items anymore.
  • I ran into this after not buying anything new in a while (really don't need new games) If you have anything in your steam wallet from past items being sold, you can use that for the requirement of buying something, look for just a cheap classic, usually they can be $0.99 or so on steam sales. I found that works to get back to being able to trade again

  • Im looking for a book about a girl with a magic eye on an air ship to catch magic only she can see
  • This sounds like a good book to me, really hope you find it again as I know what it's like to vaguely remember some show, movie, or book from years ago and not know what it was called or how to find it again.

    Definitely would love to read it if you find it, that sounds like a great book.

  • Counter strike 2, released recently and runs on Linux, I can't say that the people you'll meet on that will be that great all the time, but you may be able to meet people there.

    You might also be able to meet people in RuneScape or old school RuneScape, or other MMO type games, usually they have clan features where you can join a group of players.

    Not sure if it's still busy with players but kingdom of loathing also at least used to have players you could chat with live, and could join a clan or something like that in there.

  • Counter-Strike 2 - Launch Trailer
  • Well, the reason dying in death match is faster in CS2 is because now it's FFA, pretty sure in csgo it was team death match.

    So now everyone is out to get you, not just the other team.

  • PSA: When people ask you "What distro should I use?", try pointing them here
  • Just install the DE you want on the distro you want... You aren't limited in your DE by your selected distro, and you can have multiple installed. most of the time you have a drop down when you login that lets you pick your DE.

  • ‘You’re Telling Me in 2023, You Still Have a ’Droid?’ Why Teens Hate Android Phones / A recent survey of teens found that 87% have iPhones, and don’t plan to switch
  • The Fairphone. Fairphone 2 was updated from Android 5 through 10 (5 years on the latest version) Fairphone 3 started at 9 and is currently on Android 13, that's five years, and hasn't had it's last update yet.

    That's two Android phones with at least 5 years on the latest OS, and Fairphone 2 got patch updates until this year, giving it support and updates from 2014 until 2023

  • What distro do you recommend for gaming?
  • I should look into how to do the rollbacks, I've noticed it doing snapshots but haven't needed to do that yet. Still should know before I do need it.

    My worst problem so far was dual booting to Debian and having the efi entry for Garuda disappear and then not being able to get back easily without modifying debian's grub. Not fixable with snapshots but still simple enough for me to fix.

  • What distro do you recommend for gaming?
  • I've used arch for 7-8 years. I'm currently using Garuda for gaming, on year 2 or 3.

    My recommendation is that if arch is working for you just fine, then don't bother switching. I only switched because I had a breakage and it seemed time to switch (only 2 significant breakages in those 7or 8 years)

    If you hadn't started with arch I would in fact recommend Garuda first because the initial setup is much more hands free, start it and install stuff and it just works. Also Garuda comes preconfigured with an AUR setup and installers for that and for the glorious egg roll proton.

    That is all crap you can simply set up yourself on arch, so there's no need for you to switch, if you're fine with the arch and slightly more manual configuration then you're all set with arch and have no real reason to change that.

  • Moving from an electric stovetop to a gas range
  • Yeah, also the efficiency of electric just heating the surface that the pot is directly sitting on probably helps transfer the heat to the pot faster even if it isn't actually getting hotter than gas.

    I'm quite happy with my electric I think the only thing that would be better is if I had an induction burner for when I want it really hot really quick.

  • Moving from an electric stovetop to a gas range
  • I think it depends on the kind of gas stove for if it gets as hot, definitely agree to an extent, for gas stoves a lot of the heat is lost anyways due to dissipating into the air and not into the pan.

    But I suspect if you've got one of those jet wok gas burners you're getting pretty darn hot.

  • Moving from an electric stovetop to a gas range
  • Be aware that the flames from a gas burner can go up around a small pot if they're turned up to high, so always double check that your pot is centered and the flames are on the bottom of the pot only and not going up the sides, to prevent accidents.

    For similar reasons, don't leave wooden spoons in pots or pans unattended, my mom has a couple wooden cooking spoons that have burnt divots in the handle from being left in a pan or pot.

    And maybe be a touch more careful when adding liquids to oil or using spray oils, they can and will flare up, unlike an electric where you can slop oil all over the surface and be mostly fine with just some smoke.
