It might be your reality but it’s clearly not mine.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve rewatched Alien or Terminator.

So yes it’s true that I’m using Netflix more than my DVD’s, but I’ll watch a lot of these movies again for sure.

Also, despite the low resolution, DVD’s now have some kind of charm in their picture quality and it’s perfectly good enough for me.

But, of course, someone who doesn’t enjoy cinema the way I do shouldn’t be going through such a hassle.

I’ve found my happiness with MakeMKV for the DVD’s at least.

I’ll see how I’ll proceed with the Blurays in the future, but I don’t have any other Bluray player except my Playstation 3-4-5 for now.

I guess I’ll use Make MKV Beta as it seems to work well and VLC can open the MKV files. Thanks for your help!

But then would I be able to read them on any computer without burning them?

I think it should be possible to still run Linux on almost every 25 years old computer.

If the computer is older than this, it really becomes a piece of history and I can accept that it’d take efforts from the user to keep it in use, just like a collection car.

I only hope no bricking update is gonna be proposed to the people running such old hardware. The distribution should check if the hardware is compatible with a newer kernel before updating.

Still I think it’s important that Linux remains the OS of choice for old hardware and that the some distros remain deficated to these museum pieces.

Franework isn’t even available in my country (switzerland) so I guess it’ll be difficult to find refurbished ones in the EU.

Or having a Playstation 5 in the side to avoid Windows.

It’s what I’ll be doing with a Steam Deck/Playstation 5 combo.

Oh I love Gnome too. It’s 95% perfect and I ain’t sure I can find better.

Yeah I should clearly wait more before upgrading. I kind of know it’s, but I keep repeating the same mistake😅

Still, at one point, I might try to reproduce what I love about Gnome (1 window per workspace and the ability to switch between them) in KDE.

This is really annoying.

I’m trying to use as little extensions as possible so I only use 4. 2 out of them haven’t upgraded to 48 yet and aren’t usable for now.

This is especially annoying because I’m trying to respect Gnomés philosophy with my extensions…

I’m curious about your experience with a M1 Mac on Linux. Are you using Asahi Linux then?

I’ve watched a video on Youtube https://youtu.be/SYmLPVabb3A saying that you can play it docked on the Steam Deck. Has anyone tried it?

The article was really interesting and made me appreciate everything Valve has brought to the Linux ecosystem.

It’s also why, once I’ll have a Steam Deck in a few months, I’ll probably buy my games on Steam instead of GOG even if game preservation is important to me.

For image backups I use Clonezilla.

It works well but I don’t know how easily you could take an image from one computer to a different one. I tried once and it didn’t work because of Legacy Bios issues…still I guess it works between two modern computers.

I’d love if something like this was implemented directly in a distribution for ease of use.

Aliens Dark Descent

Got it for free on the PS Plus and a great game so far.

I also enjoyed Aliens Colonial Marines even if it’s less my style.

Well Last Of Us was really well optimized to get every last droplet of performance from the PS4. I guess it’s really different to develop for PC, as these guys are geniuses on consoles.

My experience with Linux sounds way easier than yours even if I agree with a lot of your points.

I never had to save an OS except when I tried to have two DE installed.

Otherwise it’s been pretty smooth except for minor issues related to my hardware.

Haven’t bought my Linux handheld yet, but I still think I’m gonna go with a used LCD steam deck. Still, I’m keeping my eyes open if it appears that the Legion Go S could be a good alternative.

Yeah I know about it.

It’s great to have this option 👍

Yeah I can’t wait.

I think it’ll be a perfect combo. Playstation 5 for demanding games, Steam Deck for less demanding games and a Surface Go linked to a big screen for administration.
