Custom Linux Distribution just for Gaming
  • First time hearing about Universal Blue, but I have heard of Bazzite before.

    I'm drumming up the courage to replace my Manjaro install with Aurora, and replace my Mint desktop with Bazzite+developer tools.

    Is it easy/possible to install the Bazzite tweaks on top of Aurora?

    Also, my desktop has an Nvidia card.. should I expect problems?

  • Private WiFi camera for out of town viewing. Live view only. No storage.
  • Thanks for mentioning Wyze.. looks awesome.

    I ended up with a shitty Arlo set that I overpaid for, and the worst part is that they no longer sell the station where you can save video to the local network, meaning I'd have to pay for a subscription

  • What games did you have a good time with that you just never finished?
  • I played this almost 40 years ago on an Apple IIe when I was 10-11 years old, made it all the way to the final dungeon, then just.. gave up. I don't know why. Maybe I was unprepared for the final dungeon and was too lazy to leave and get more supplies?

    I recently thought about doing a replay of it to see how it holds up

  • What popular product do you think is modern day snakeoil?
  • Tesla driver here.

    When I first heard the announcement that they were going vision-only, I thought ah shit they're boned.

    I replied on maybe a Reddit thread (?) that there was no way it'll work up north in any kind of snowy conditions, and people called me an idiot etc

    Fast forward a few years later, when I got to experience it first hand. Anytime I drive the car at night, warnings pop up on the screen like "front left camera is blocked or blinded" Cue Surprised Pikachu. In the snow, sometimes it can't even detect a road.

    I tried the free trial of FSD and, while it's a neat gimmick, I think I was able to make maybe one or two short trips (2km) without needing to disengage it.

    It was really bad

  • Stop Google search when visiting intranet site?

    We have a few sites on our intranet at work that I constantly end up searching on Google instead of visiting the site.

    If I type in the address bar

    >https://site.work/customers/12345

    it will navigate just fine, but if I just type

    >site.work/customers/12345

    it executes a Google search

    Is there any way for me to add a whitelist for a given hostname? I don't want to turn keyword.enabled off.. I only want to turn it off for one site.

    Free and open-source YouTube clients w/ no ads
  • Every time I click on a Piped link that has been posted here by the bot after someone posts a YouTube link, I just wait and wait for it to start playing. Eventually I run out of patience and click the YouTube link, which starts to play immediately.

  • What's something weird and mostly useless that you can do with your body?
  • I can also gleek but it's nowhere near what my grade 11 English teacher could do. I don't know how it came up in class, but, in front of the class, she turned sideways and made the biggest arc I'd ever seen: maybe 6 feet long

  • Why are SMS messages so expensive?
  • Unlimited SMS is on most cell phone plans nowadays, at least in Canada.

    On a slightly different tack: I run a website, and I choose not to implement SMS for notifications - only email. Email is free. Adding SMS, even at $0.007 per message, could add up to big bucks.

  • Asking a Linux user to recommend a printer
  • We bought an HP laser printer a few years ago.. it drives me crazy in that when it goes to sleep mode, it never recovers, meaning you have to power cycle it to get it to respond again. Once it's power cycled, it's .. fine, although I curse it anyway since it's 2024 and how can they still make printers that still do this shit.

    Anyway.

    In Windows, on my wife's and kids' Windows PCs, it works most of the time but was a huge pain to set up with the stupid apps.

    On Android, it works most of the time after setting up stupid apps.

    On my Linux desktops, it worked perfectly out of the box on both of them. I couldn't believe it. One desktop is Manjaro and the other is Mint

  • I dont like gravel
  • Canadian here.

    I remember watching quite a few episodes of some reno show where the homeowner had to choose between two designs for the garden, and both choices usually ended up putting gravel down, which horrified us when we saw it.

    When I think of gravel in the back yard (garden), it's the base layer for the paving stones that go on top of it

    For me, it means I could never walk barefoot without it sticking to my feet in addition to it being uncomfortable to walk on.
