Mandrake was my second distro, I think, I think I had knoppix before that. Used neither for long, switched to Ubuntu in the first or second major release. I was on Ubuntu until gnome 3 was released, then I threw up a little in my mouth and dustro hopped s bit until I landed on arch, which I also had for almost 10 years,

Now I am on NixOS,

No I am not sadomasochistic for using arch or nixos. There are benefits and trade offs, and I would not have used them for so long if it didn't make sense for me.

I'm against distro shaming, and DE shaming. Everyone can like what they like for different reasons. That makes Linux better!

BTW, fun fact, both Arch and NixOS is older than Ubuntu, just fun to think about

My wife works in a hospital and receives patients from car crashes. If driving without a seatbelt was legal she would find another job.

Intact she has worked in a country where no one, even kids are required to wear seatbelts, and she doesn't want to work like that now

With patience, something ADHDers have in a abundance for the weirdest thing at the wrong time

He tried, but he colflated a person on the leaderboard of a video game with a likeable personality

(No offense to likeable people on leaderboards)

Just a reminder that nix packages works on most any distro, and then they work like other universal packages, but without the sandboxing

NixOS is just when you take this to the logical conclusion and have every part of the distro packaged in Nix, including configuring your OS, and optionally your users configuration files as well.

If you hate the word handegg, then maybe call it American Rugby, instead of American Football

Call it handegg

Except for my home directory, I have a little bit state on my machine, ssh host keys, WiFi credentials, journal logs (I almost want to remove this, but I bet that would bite me in the ass one day)

The root partition is a tmpfs ram disk, and everything not saved in a separate partition, and either mounted or symlinked on to my root partition is lost at shutdown and regenerated at boot. Its less than a second extra to boot, and it uses about 16MB extra memory. Everything is made very convenient through the impermanence nix module and the sops nix module

I need to check the price of broken steam decks, there are so many fun project's I could do if I had the motherboard or daughter boards in the steam deck, and no I need my current steam deck intact to play on

I understand why you think this, but its kind of wrong. Because Nintendo has had the upper hand with hardware many times.

1. SNES was arguably better than Genesis system
2. N64 has much more raw power than my favorite system the PS1
3. GameCube was stronger than PS2 and Dreamcast

And yes, I'll just wait and use my steam deck until SD2, because I also just want a computer that I can play games on.

Yes, my wife used to work in the ER, she still tells the same stories over and over again 15 years later, because the memories of the horrible shit she saw doesn't go away

Its funny to me how both sides are equally bad to you, when one side is working to literally establish a fascist dictatorship, while the other side is trying to give people health care

Stepping stone

They just don't want to take credit for making doctor who suck themselves. Doctor who has always been woke, but now it just sucks

That's what you get with a two party system, you will always have to pick between the lesser if two evils, and right now the greater of the two evils is salivating at the thought of turning US into north korea.

Better vote Democrat, and protest genocide, than to not go out and vote, because the other side is also approving genocide

Maybe he was oganessing a solution

The answer is a bit complicated. Linux has a long history with HDR where you would need exact software and hardware, or else no HDR... Just know that it will get easier because the ball has already started to roll in the correct direction.

But the shortest way I can say it now,

If you use Valve's game mode, (which is possible to get either using steamos, bazzite, chimera OS, nobara, or you can manually set it up. You should be able to get it to work. This should work for windows games that support HDR. AFAIK there are no Linux games yet supporting HDR. It should be possible to get videos playing with HDR also, but that would be an exercise for the reader, or wait until people make it easier.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I currently believe the newest version, of KDE and Gnome are now HDR ready. If I am wrong you might just need the newest beta which will become stable Q2 this year.

Playing videos, I believe the newest version of MPV just got HDR support. With more apps incoming.

Anything that let's a gamepad or a remote browse your videos? AFAIK not yet, but be patient, as this is all new

They make these things difficult on purpose

Is this from a high res texture pack for sims 1?
