What you asked me to do was overly onerous for a discussion. Even if I found the links and gave you them, I will be told there isn't a problem (especially judging by the username) and I am "taking things too seriously". There

I find you can get a fair way with using backports. I am running the latest kernel and pipewire gubbings.

Debian 13 has mesa 25 which seems to be the latest or very close to the latest and installing an updated kernel was trivial via backports. People exaggerate the problems of using a stable distro.

No the correct choice is what I want to use and it is Debian. Distro-hopping doesn't fix your problems and you will end up with either the same issues or more issues by distro-hopping. I use my Linux machine for things other than games

I've had zero issues on Windows. None at all. I have a AMD GPU. Linux issues have been poor performance generally. Once I installed kernel 6.16 that was fixed.

They are finally adding the option to setup a user desktop to the installer in a build shortly. Which needed to be done years ago IMO. They are doing some outreach on their YouTube channel. If they do I might try it. However I've had i

I have a Steam Link and the Original Steam controller. The manufacturing while perfectly functional isn't that high quality. This looks similar. Kinda like a mid-ranged PC case quality.

Their previous generation controller wasn't great (I have one). I got it on sale and the haptive stuff didn't work to well IMO. I have a 8bitdo controller and they are really good. They work perfectly with Debian 13 and probably p

Gaming on Linux is hit and miss, depending on the distro you use and your desktop environment. Some games should be launched with gamescope if you are using Gnome/GDM To have HellDivers run in borderless window on Debian 14. It require

Retroarch is already on Steam as well as other emulators. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1118310/RetroArch/ Even if you didn't want to use the Steam versions. Steam OS is essentially a customised Arc

They have been trying to make VR thing since the 90s. It has never reached mass appeal and never will. I can't wear one of those headset (I get severe motion sickness).

You are asking for something unreasonable i.e. I go through possibly several months of YouTube history in a comment section argument to "prove" that there people in the Linux community that do weird and cringey things, which is so

I am not going back through months worth of YouTube history to satisfy people have insinuated that I have been lying on a claim that isn't even that controversial. I mainly watch car and canal boats videos these days and don't bot

You don't need my permission to do what you want. I am sorry I sound dismissive, but a lot of the so called humour is a bit passe IMO. I didn't mean to sound rude to you.

Feigning urgency is a well known tactic to get people worked up and worried to spur them into action. It is a well known manipulation tactic.

There is a tribalism aspect to all of this. I also get people want to personalise stuff. I drive an old 4x4 and modded it (nothing too crazy), and I am planning on getting an Armstrong MT-350 if I can find one. Each one will require me actu

Ok. You got me on that one. Mainly because it is a statement of fact.

No it isn't. I cannot do anything meaningful about it. I have written in the past to MPs (many times). I was either ignored, or I was told I didn't know what I was talking about even though I actually was working in a related area

No. I just can't remember who these accounts are because I pretty much insta-block the them from my feed. The reason I am complaining about this is I was trying to find some good info to send to a friend. I ended up making my own no-BS

I gave an example of something I remembered from last month. I can't remember the exact name of the account, and I normally block them afterwards or mute them from the feed. The reason I am complaining about this is I was trying to fin

> Giving up just ensures that your voice and values certainly won’t be heard. It won't be heard anyway. It is a fiction that I as a fucking nobody can affect anything in any meaningful manner. It is a delusion that is sold to people

It isn't grumpiness. I am allowed to complain about cringe and slacktivism which is rife in the tech land, which is what laptop stickers are. It is a symptom of a bigger problem.

There are loads of tech influencers in the Linux space on Youtube and loads of techie platforms. There is various levels of cringe in the Linux space, some of it is honestly embarrassing. If you don't see it already, you are going to t

I think generally people are I'll equipped to engage publicly in politics. Politics is an extremely dirty game and can be extremely divisive.

Go on YouTube, Mastodon or any sort of social media that is bit techy orientated and you will find it easily.
