Silverblue is so good, everything works perfectly out of the box on my hardware (Framework 13 AMD). I was worried I was going to forget how to do anything because it was so easy so I had to make a second partition and install OpenBSD

To be fair, you can make a sim in your own image without them being able to see you. Maybe we’re all just sims

In the comments he kept responding to everyone being critical and being like “well it’s my computer so I can do anything I want to it”

I forgot about that part, that whole “repair” was such a mess

I think it was a security torx screw if I remember correctly so it makes sense he wouldn’t necessarily have an appropriate bit, but it would have been so little effort to just order one or go to a store

I like how the “wiki” on their website is just a bunch of uneditable premade articles so pretty much the exact opposite of a real wiki (also the articles are terrible, the “introduction to linux” looks like a perfect way to make someone give up on evem trying linux)

I stopped watching when he got that one rare IBM workstation and sloppily dremeled in all the the screws to open it because he was too lazy to go to the store to buy a screwdriver. That was before I even heard about this and the stupid gun stuff. I know it’s like a minor thing and he only damaged screws and sheet metal parts that could in theory be replaced with a medium amount of difficulty, but I just can’t imagine intentionally damaging something very uncommon because you’re too lazy to buy a screwdriver

I like how a big part of the headline just explains exactly why people pirate things instead of obtaining legal access to them. No one wants to subscribe to netflix, hulu, vudu, and prime video, people just want one platform to watch everything

Yeah they were just trying to help tesla by demonstrating the concept of painting vehicles since tesla doesn’t seem to understand it very well

Or… Just maybe… It’s a joke and it’s just trying to be an even more absurd take on the original gnu+linux copypasta

The weather isn’t openweather’s fault. It’s a limitation in libgweather (a gnome project). They have to manually approve locations for them to work.

It’s a dumb workaround but this script lets you add custom locations https://gitlab.com/julianfairfax/scripts/-/blob/main/add-location-to-gnome-weather.sh

The really awful part is that there’s not really any regulation that can stop this. If you ban taking away games people bought then they’ll just switch to a subscription which is even worse

Exactly what I always do, since I have to use a kernel not written in rust I uninstall the kernel once I’ve booted so it’s only in memory and no longer tainting my storage with its impurity

I don’t even care about the DLC, I just want slightly less insane DRM. I can’t play the sims 4 right now because of a server outage despite the game already being on my computer. Why do they even need DRM for a free game?

Assuming you mean the hyprland guy, he was just being a transphobic jerk to people in his discord server

Heathen, using any software not written in rust is sacrilege

You definitely can install a graphical desktop on whichever BSD, you’ll just have to follow instructions online somewhere instead of running a premade script.

If you want something really easy to use graphically right out of the box there’s also Haiku, it’s a completely independent OS that’s sort of an open source clone of BeOS but a lot more unixy than BeOS was. It’s really lightweight and has maybe my favorite desktop GUI out of every operating system I’ve used. The only real downside to it is that there isn’t an amazing web browser for it yet, the built in WebPositive is a little lacking in support for modern sites and GNOME Web, which you can install from HaikuDepot was a little unstable last time I tried it. If you don’t need to use the web a ton though (which is probably the more pleasant option on your particular system regardless of browser), it’s really nice.

I’ve never noticed BSDs being much slower, and if you’re already used to minimal linux distros like arch it’s not that hard to set them up unless you like need linux-only software.

Perhaps openbsd or netbsd? They’re probably less likely to drop hardware support for your device in the near future than any linux distribution

Freebsd is also an option but you would have to compile it yourself as the prebuilt binaries are currently 686 despite it having support back to 486
