Isn’t discord just shittier, proprietary IRC? I’m only on it because my Linux distro’s dev uses it for communication for some reason, but from what I can tell, it’s just a locked-down IRC client you can buy emojis and shit on.

Winamp came with an mp3 file labeled winamp.mp3.

If you played it, it was just someone yelling “Winamp: It really whips the llama’s ass.”

But can you still play Drug Wars?

Iowa here, same thing. This state has a very progressive history, but that’s being erased at lightning speed

This is a deeply unpopular take but it’s the correct one. I caucusef for Bernie in both 2016 and 2020 and the amount of Hilary/Biden supporters to Bernie supporters in both respective years was dishearteningly high.

The only people who show up for primaries and caucuses are predominantly white, Christian heterosexuals of retirement age.

They’re absolutely fucking terrified of anything remotely approaching progressive policy and they’ll never, ever let us run anyone who doesn’t make them feel safe with all their old white money.

Yep! I’m on Nvidia, the new drivers are really solid. I’ve read AMD cards run fine as well, but don’t use one

I’m gonna start sounding like a shill, but check out Nobara. Painless install, steam games just work out of the box.

Same. They’ve always done this shit, but installing windows - and then uninstalling or disabling all the cooked-in bloat and spyware - has become so ridiculously tiresome that I just said fuck it and went Linux full-time.

Every update or service pack, it starts all over. There’s no such thing as a clean windows install.

Nobara was up and running in like ten minutes with no fuckery at all, and it’s no nice not having to fight my OS on everything.

Nvidia drivers actually come pre-baked with the installer. When you download the iso, just make sure you get the Nvidia one. It’ll install the most recent drivers for you as part of the install.

I’m running a 4060ti on mine (it was free, I know they’re silly cards) with zero issues.

Nobara is pretty close. Glorious Eggroll’s distro, comes with proton pre-installed so it can run steam games out of the box. Worth a shot, I love it
