Some of y’all are showing your bubble side; outside of our communities here, Linux very much is obscure. That said, there really does seem to be a leak in the mainstream and it’s nice to see it mentioned in a publication. Even if just a little gain, thanks in large part to Steam raising awareness for gamers, US decline in Europe and Canada, and Windows 11 blunders with security.
I’ve gone from people being completely oblivious when I mention Linux, to going “oh, like steam deck?” but there’s still plenty of others who still are oblivious. Then again, mentioning file extensions goes over the heads of 95% of who I talk to, so I wouldn’t have too high hopes.
See, I think drugsLinuxes have done some good things for us! I really do. And if you don’t believe drugsLinuxes have done good things for us, do me a favor. Go home tonight, take all your albumsbookmarks, all your tapeslinks and all your CDswebsites and burn 'em.
'Cause you know what? The musiciansservers who made host all that great musicweb content that’s enhanced your lives throughout the years?
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreal fuckin’ highhosted on drugsLinux.
:3 Well, that nearly worked. n_n

Wish I didn’t cave in and bought an NVidia card back in 2022. But well now we’re served with severe shortage of PC hardware all thanks to fucking AI and I’m stuck with a 500GB main SSD and an almost full 2TB spinning disk with a 3050 and I’m sick of MS getting slower by the day it’s ridiculous; I’m still on 10 and not actually paid MS for it ;), but still.
The plan was to get a new 2TB SSD and install a distro, but see above fuckery because of AI.
I’m going to check if I moved all my installed Steam games to the spinning disk will Steam on Linux be able to read it. Because I’m sure as hell am not downloading the game files again if I can help it. If the answer is yes, I’ll just nuke the current SSD to install a distro. I’ll figure how to move installs again later in 2029 or something when SSD prices have gone down again and I can get 2 or 4TB SSD for less than 2 kidneys.

To paraphrase Bill Hicks about drugs…

Fuck Microsoft. Fuck NVidia.
