  • I think most distros will work just fine. It’s gotten so so much easier since Valve invested in Proton to make the Steam Deck work.

    Personally, I’m on EndeavourOS with Gnome and it works fine for all my Steam games on an AMD GPU. Years ago, I was on Linux Mint, and that worked just fine for gaming too.

    One caveat: if you have an Nvidia GPU, driver support can sometimes be a headache (or at least it was several years ago when I had one). Some distros claim better out of the box support for Nvidia, like Pop OS






  • What podcast? I like a good podcast.

    Yeah, I feel like that phenomenon happens elsewhere too. I read the book B.S. Jobs last year, and it talked about is all the (debatably) useless positions popping up at companies - extra layers of management, assistants to make the managers feel important, corporate lawyers that are only there to cause trouble for the other team’s corporate lawyers. Just a whole lot of man-hours spent not making products/services/whatever.

    (I wouldn’t say I’m 100% on board with all the book’s arguments, but it sure made me think)






  • Libertarian-ish, I guess.

    Watching the US and other governments going on a power trip has sure been pushing me that way.

    I mostly don’t want government involved in anybody’s lives unless they’re harming others. It drives me mad when bureaucracy, police, etc. show up to harass, jail, or kill people that were minding their own business. Plus mass surveillance without a warrant.

    On the other hand, I recognize the need for appropriate regulations (to avoid harming people on a broader scale). It also makes sense for them to direct large scale projects like infrastructure and certain services.

    So, I guess, make life better for people. Otherwise, mind your own business
