  • You make fair points. I shouldn’t jest so carelessly. I don’t think it’s just Obama either though. Past administrations have all had hands toward what we have today.

    That said; I do think you’re right really. Which also kinda makes me sad. I wish we had some real leadership, and actually hope 😅

    We end up with a remixed reality of ‘King Ralph’ instead. Every day with Trump is eating away at whatever hope for some kind of check and balance to occur. It’s disheartening to feel so powerless in the face of such a FUBAR-POTUS clown show in the chainsaw wielding circus.

    Anyway! Back to masking it 🎭








  • I could potentially build a system with 2 GPU. That would be amazing. Isn’t there like a hypervisor OS, where I could just run whatever whenever and attach whatever hardware to whichever? Then jump into that machine and use it ‘natively’? Or am I dreaming/overcomplicating? 😆

    Also to be fair, I’m not ‘new’ to Linux. I feel comfortable enough there to get by. It’s more when I dig into drivers and what softwares/tools to use, everyone argues about which is better and it’s hard to sometimes know just what works.


  • Thinking of Switching to Linux for Gaming — But Have Some Concerns

    I’ve been a lifelong Windows user—mostly because of gaming compatibility and its dominance in enterprise environments. But lately, I’ve been tempted to switch to Linux full-time. I already like Debian and use it occasionally, but Windows has always been my main rig.

    If I were to actually switch to Linux for gaming, what distro would you recommend? • I don’t want something too “kid-friendly” or overly simplified (like Zorin or Ubuntu with heavy theming). • At the same time, Arch feels like too much—I want some control and tweakability, but not a full-time job maintaining my system. • I have an RTX 2070 Super, so I’d really prefer a distro that won’t make me fight with drivers or GPU support constantly. • I’ve heard about Proton and Pop!_OS—are those still good options in 2025?

    One sticking point: Photoshop.

    I actually use and pay for Adobe software (not just for fun), so Wine and alternatives like GIMP don’t really cut it. I’ve even considered switching to macOS instead, just to have Unix-like tools and full Adobe support… but then I lose a big chunk of gaming compatibility.

    So yeah… I’m stuck. I want a distro that makes gaming easy-ish, still lets me tweak and feel like I’m on a “real” Linux system, and won’t leave me stranded when I need to run Adobe stuff.

    Any recommendations or thoughts?




  • Good to know all the sacrifices people have made to move away from this in day to day lives… only to find that literally 3 dozen companies are doing far more damage than we could ever make up for.

    I get it about the energy, so renewable and nuclear should be used more and more and more.

    My last comment here would be that we don’t have good energy storage for these off peak times, that we could use to keep the grid stable without having to resort always to burning fossil fuels to make up the slack. There’s a way to have our cake and eat it too, but we really need to make concerted efforts in energy storage. I feel like this has been neglected too much when we discuss renewables and future energy. Energy storage is paramount to this.

    There are some great concepts and even new hot stuff, but, nothing widespread 🥲
