Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Does anyone know a good Linux live image for diagnosing systems?English
3·3 years agoIt’s not free but I highly recommend Parted Magic. I’ve been using it since at least 2015.
I’d love to switch to Linux. I’ve used Linux off and on for almost two decades now. At one point I was triple booting Windows XP, Windows 7, and Fedora. The one thing holding me back is, strangely enough, game compatibility. I know Proton has made huge strides as I’ve seen it first hand on the Steam Deck, a lovely little machine. The problem is, I have a huge library, and while I’m okay with slightly less than ideal performance here and there on the Deck (40hz mode anyone?), I absolutely refuse to lose any performance due to running Linux. Benchmarks still show some titles losing 5-15% performance when running through Proton.
Don’t get me wrong. I love FOSS. I donate and try to spread the word as much as I can when I find a passion project, and find it particularly useful. Even though this may seem to go against what I previously said, I’m debating on switching to Linux when Windows 10 loses support. I do not want to enable fTPM on my motherboard or update my BIOS if I don’t have to. My PC is stable, no thank you. I feel like I’ll have to troubleshoot whether I choose Linux or Windows 11. Ugh.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How is it even possible/practical to obey traffic laws?
21·3 years agoI like to live a little more dangerously, so I do the speed limit plus ten.
All I know is LineageOS claims to support devices beyond the date manufacturers do. Graphene stops getting updates the same date the manufacturer sets.

Games@lemmy.world•Tencent set to acquire Dying Light studio TechlandEnglish
13·3 years agoUgh. Dying Light is such a great game. I tried getting into the second one but only got a few hours in. Maybe I should try again. What does this mean for the future of Techland? I only know that Tencent isn’t viewed favorably by the majority of concerned gamers but I don’t know the specifics of why.
The kid in me would like to try this while the adult in me is afraid of serious injury.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it just me or did anyone else became a more avid poster since joining lemmy?
8·3 years agoI’m feeling some of that early internet charm here. That might be part of why I’m a little more active. Still a lurker through and through.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why does /All show different posts in different instances?
8·3 years agoI’m not too knowledgeable on this but I imagine the servers update content or ingest content from other servers at different rates. Some larger instances are under heavy load and some instances may be running older/newer versions of Lemmy.
Do admins have any say in how content is ordered in the feed? I don’t know at all.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How do you guys have your music streaming setup?English
2·3 years agoThis is pretty much why I never attempted to use something like Jellyfin for the music I, um, accumulated through the years. I use Spotify and Youtube these days.
