It is a work device. I was just allowed to use fedora until now.

Thanks for the info guys, good stuff!

Those of you who are telling me to look for a new workplace over an OS change are a bit crazy though lol. It’s not quite that bad.

Definitely not worth it over and OS change. It does suck though

Issue is I won’t be able to sign into my work’s SSO due to it requiring the device to be entra enrolled after the change :(

It was on a work issued device already, so I can’t complain too much. Still sucks though after using it for so long.

Oh I’m using Fedora KDE on my home system already. Issue is I’m unable to sign into email or basically anything that uses my work’s SSO due to it requiring the device to be entra enrolled :(

Some peoples only access to reliable Internet is starlink.

I don’t like musk at all, but until there’s a reliable alternative, it may be the only thing people have access to.

Idk, idc. The game has been getting free updates for years and I enjoy it. Most devs would have ditched immediately.

I’m down for the competition. 660TI performance is ROUGH though.

This is pretty tricky. Sure you can tweak your CPU all day to try to get some lower power usage, but to get more drastic changes, it really starts at the hardware your using. I would suggest getting a N100 nas maybe? But it kinda defeats the saving money on power usage if you have to spend $150-$300 to do so.

Sorry man, your going to get down voted like crazy just because you posted something bad about Linux.

Good info thoughm

Understanding the proper way to install apps is the biggest one. Make it clear that .exe files are for Windows only.

I wouldn’t try to go further than that, I feel that’s the biggest thing a general user really needs to know.

I don’t try to criticize people for pirating games. They’re expensive and a lot are greedy.

What I do tell people though is support good games.

If you end up playing a pirated game you really enjoy, you should try to support it if you can, even if it’s from one of the bigger publishers. It’s basically our only way to truly tell a publisher that we like something and to keep making it.

Not counting un reasonably priced re-releases though. I totally get that (looking at you Nintendo for Galaxy 1+2)

It’s probaly not needed at this point. You can get flash drives crazy cheap.

This is probably not to place to ask about getting a Nintendo console. Most people here are hardcore pc. (which is fine, but definitely biased).

My personal recommendation is this:

Do you want to play new Nintendo games? Get a switch 2.

Want to older Nintendo games and multiplats? Get a steamdeck.

I wish they wouldn’t have teased it if it’s that far out.

Why anyone still uses Plex for new setups is beyond me.

It’s just a fun party game.

I use emby for my entire media collection, including music.

I’m a huge borderlands fan. I will not be buying this for $80 lol.
