I got the 8bitdo ultimate 2 wireless to replace my Xbox one controller. Other than the confusing as hell naming scheme, I like it, but it has its quirks:

-Gyro works fine, but only in Bluetooth mode, so I can’t use it on my PC with the 2.4GHz dongle.

-The firmware upgrade software is not on Linux, so you need a windows machine to update it.

-Sometimes it bugs out, holding the last joystick position, and you have to reboot it to fix it. Almost got me killed on a honor mode run of DOS2.

Also, I wish it had capacitive joysticks to activate the gyro. But other than that, it’s pretty feature-complete.

It seems that the upcoming Steam Controller does everything this controller can, and fixes my problems with it. So I’ll probably get one of those next. But the 8bitdo still is the best controller I’ve had so far.

Helldivers 2 works just fine on Linux…?

Did Columbus ever go to what is now the USA?

Ze fey I read his comments is as if zey have a zick German aksent, ja. Like dis.

Probably. On arch, you install ollama and ollama-cuda and you’re good to go.

For spooks, Phasmophobia is a good one. They do a Halloween event every year too 🎃👻

I guess people smoke because they don’t know smoking causes cancer ;3

Yeah, I know. Until I get ransomware’d and my nudes leaked, I won’t care 💅🏻✨

No, my home server. My desktop and laptop both have arch, because I do interact with them more often.

If I wanted to run updates frequently I would run arch lmao. Even if I did apt update every day, debian stable doesn’t get that many updates.

I could just run auto-update but meh.

Well, one of the reasons I’m using debian on my server is so I can kinda forget about it…

I’ll update maybe once a month, or every couple months. I don’t always restart though, so my kernel is probably a bit behind :'D

Yup. My desktop was the last computer I had running windows 10.

A couple years ago, I installed debian on an old laptop that I’m using as a home server now, and that was my first contact with Linux since 2010 or so. It was an experiment that got from “I’m just trying stuff” to “I use this every day”.

Then I got a steam deck, and I saw that gaming on Linux was a thing now. Gaming is one of the things I need my PC for, since I don’t have consoles, so that was important for me.

Then I got an old laptop from my sibling and I decided to install Arch to learn a bit more. Another experiment that got out of hand, until that laptop became my daily driver. I spent less and less time in front of my desktop.

This year, with Win10 going out of support, and having no interest in Win11 after having used Linux a bunch, I decided that was it. I did slack for a bit, because I had a lot of files that I needed to review and backup (or delete).
Because of unrelated stuff with my server -I had to empty my external hard drive to reformat it from NTFS to ext4-, I used the opportunity to do the hard work, and when that was over, installing Arch was a breeze.

That was a couple months ago, and I’m still customizing the PC, because life got in the way, and I’m doing things differently to my laptop (using niri instead of hyprland, using btrfs instead of ext4 -which I did wrong and I have to fix to be able to do snapshots-).

But yeah, I’m having fun and I don’t miss windows. There’s some software that I need sometimes, like the 8bitdo firmware updater and things like that, but it’s mostly minor stuff. I did use FL Studio before and I heard it doesn’t work great on Linux, but I haven’t made music for the past 4 years, and if I want to and can’t make it work I can always use Reaper or something :)

Thank God you censored your local IP, don’t want hackers to find out it’s 192.168.1.45

They are relatively short, they should do LSD just to be sure!

They did have a base building mechanic in diamond/pearl, if you can call a hole in the ground a “base”.

One of my favorite features of English is the possibility of verbing any word.

K is for the Key to your heart.

And longest is longer than shorter, but shortest is the longest.

Idk, just going with my gut feeling. It’s not like you can actually tell xP
