  • Obviously you should relearn everything. Heck, pick up the Dvorak or Colemak keyboard layout while you’re at it!

    That toshy thing looks like the right way to go. Wild that this is such a complex issue.

    I had to go the other direction (Linux -> apple) for a bit and ended up remapping the caps lock key to command so I could approximate “normal” reflexive (pinky-based) shortcuts. It did sort of simplify copy-pasting in terminals.


  • As a crazy person that took 5 semesters of Latin, absolutely, but it’s a battle in which I’ve admitted defeat, much like “as per.”

    If English made any sense, “matrices” would be the normal plural and pronounced with the italianized soft c. But then “indexes” is over there being irksome.

    I think the correct plural here is simpler: a zero plural, i.e Kleenex. Probably because we just elide the entire word “tissues.”








  • The other commenter is giving good advice, but I think they’re knee-jerking a bit hard on the arch base. I presented 3 gaming oriented distributions. All have guardrails. All are opinionated. All are fully featured, user-friendly experiences.

    Yes, arch (by itself) is a bad idea as a solution, but so is gentoo, and so is Debian testing.

    I believe the issues they’re so concerned about actually apply to every rolling release distro like the others, but it’s the only way you’re going to get OOTB support for the 9700xt until the major release distributions catch up.

    Linux users have strong feelings and often let perfect at any expense get in the way of good enough and cheap. This is a demonstrably negative experience for new users.











  • This is your regular reminder the the bulwark is absolutely not progressive. They’re a bunch of never trumper Republicans.

    From the transcript (B is the bulwark guy):

    Speaker B: … Democrats should welcome this development.

    Speaker A: Are you still on Team welcome the tariff right now?

    Speaker B: 100%.

    Speaker A: Really?

    Speaker B: I mean, yeah, yeah. It’s the only way to get rationality into the system. I guess this makes me an accelerationist, which is macabre. …

    Wow such empathy, so bold. This immediately after he talks about wanting CEOs to have to sell their yacht. Maybe one day this dipshit will wake up. We can hope.
