Thank you for this ! Great tips

Going to try this !

Apparently yes, especially for any non mainstream wheels. Also not great vr support overall

Dude it’s sad what kids are subject too now. Endless ad spam and shit games. They’ll always be corpo brainwashed.

Yeah I hate that shit. I have never logged in with an ms account and I don’t plan to

I love ED also! And vr it’s so fun.

Ah. That’s a good plan. I hate having to change to 11 and give MS the satisfaction

Yeah I figured, which is fine since I don’t play it often.

Nice! It does seem easier than it used to be.

I would be surprised if they’d run well in a VM but I’ll have to try! I have an AMD fx 8 core and a rtx 580 so I think compatibility wise I’ll be good.

Other games I play a lot are cs2 and board game sim, some pubg and gtav (which i know I’d need to use windows for)

Are modern DJs musicians as compared to a classically trained cellist (sp?)? In my thoughts, not really.

Corporations. Stop giving them money any way possible.

I bet this is it

Trying to get away from corporate trash, so no more spotify or tidal for me. I am only trying to use :

SomaFM, totally donation based radio, very nice for long listening drives or work

Archive.org (AMAZING for so much stuff)

Bandcamp (actually support artists, there has been talk of them enshittifying though)

My own library of physical music.

However, when I had tidal, it worked well. I like to support artists though especially in today’s world.

That’s the problem. We can’t tell the difference.

But look at it this way. In 5 years nobody will be able to tell the difference between an AI image or AI music (boomers already can’t). So then what? When an art gallery prints a 30 ft tall AI image and people come look at it and how amazing it is, all while having no idea it was AI, what will be the point? The only art left will be live performance art, which could actually be a good thing in it’s own way. But the “at home” artist who only publishes works online will be dead, because there will be no way to tell the difference.

I see this view a lot and I agree with it, but how can you argue with anyone who says well, that’s what they said about synthesizers for music. Or ipads for art. Or computers replacing typewriters. Are you saying anyone who doesn’t hand write a book in cursive while solely learning the djembe from a scroll is not a real artist ? (Obvious /s but it’s kind of valid). Unfortunately we are the old man yelling at cloud, just 20 years too early. The future will laugh that there were AI detractors (in my opinion).

Seems like I should stick with Mint then!

Yeah I only have an oculus and I’ve heard mixed results. Thank you for that info,

I did like mint when I used it. You recommend that over bazzite? Seems a lot of people say so good garuda or bazzite for gaming but I’m unfamiliar with them. Used Ubuntu and mint a lot in the past.

I so want to make the switch. But I also like to play a lot of old windows racing games from the late 90s, I use vr decently often, and I unfortunately don’t think I can use linux as my main. I suppose I could only keep windows for vr, but yeah I’m unsure. I was thinking bazzite or garuda if I do it.
