i thought it was just the racist world of warcraft players that got a pubchat mute left over

Aamelia for me i'd just struggle with macOS i'm not even going to lie

HikariKnight•6/8/24, 2:12 AM

i grew up with windows, got introduced to linux in middle school (didnt use it much other than to do school work and find ways to play runescape on it) and as a teen i was already using linux but also used macos

a daily driver challenge for any of those 3 will be me just casually using the OS like normal (unless you want to watch me install enough background crap for windows to use 10GB ram idle just to have a good workflow these days...)

Pretty much the same here, I started playing with Ubuntu server around middle school and then tried really hard to switch to Linux when I found Compiz

HikariKnight•6/8/24, 2:13 AM

Pez•6/8/24, 2:13 AM

B_Wize•6/8/24, 2:14 AM

Late bloomer here. Didn't find linux until 9-10 years ago

HHikariKnight if i had 3 gpus i would been able to configure this to be an actual thing 🤣

amelia•6/8/24, 2:14 AM

two GPUs and one Macbook

B_Wize•6/8/24, 2:14 AM

And played around with mint on a macbook pro

halva•6/8/24, 2:14 AM

wasn't playonlinux more or less well used until like 2016-2018 ish? i still got to use it around the same time i tried linux

KKyle Gospo That was good shit, I'm glad lutris kind of picked up the same mantle

amelia•6/8/24, 2:14 AM

oh yeah i love Lutris now

Vosian•6/8/24, 2:14 AM

I quite enjoyed reading the most recent Bazzite Buzz, especially the mentioning of the Minisforum V3 Tablet. I wasn't really aware of that device, but it looks quite interesting. I would love to hear feedback from anyone using it as to how everything is working under Linux.

That would be Aru

Aamelia two GPUs and one Macbook

HikariKnight•6/8/24, 2:15 AM

what if i told you i got 2 macbooks
and apple has only gotten $100 from me in my life
and that was the $100 i paid to get a macbook for school use (i figured it would be possibly my only chance to learn the system and im glad i did)

HikariKnight•6/8/24, 2:16 AM

the rest was covered by the state

HikariKnight•6/8/24, 2:16 AM

the 2nd macbook i got from work since the battery on it died so i kept it for testing only

halva•6/8/24, 2:17 AM

honestly now that i think about it, something really doesn't add up
maybe i accidentally followed guides from 2012 or something lmao

amelia•6/8/24, 2:17 AM

i have no idea how the challenge would work however, maybe something like an arduino that switches an HDMI/DP signal every hour?

HikariKnight•6/8/24, 2:17 AM

playonlinux was barely being used around 2016-2017
