There was a 2.0?

TIL.

Lies and slander.

I am a system administrator and a network administrator. I abhor database management tyvm.

I was 8 when Linus posted on that Minix Usenet group about his hobby that won't be big at all.

"poor people shouldn't be able to afford food because I'm irresponsible with my money"

.... That's what this sounds like.

If you're not "poor enough" to need snap, and you can't afford to buy whatever food you want, within reason, then either, you need snap and you're in denial, or you need to learn money management.

Snap recipients are forced to spend the money on food, since that's the only place that money can be spent AFAIK.... So they're forced to be responsible with their food money. They can't use the funds to get drunk at the pub and stumble down the street picking fights and ending up in the drunk tank.

See, that's what I was thinking. I'll have to do more research, but I would think all the overhead from Windows being Windows, would kind of diminish the gap between running it natively on Windows, and using proton or something so you can run it on Linux.

The overhead on both should be fairly similar, though with how Windows is, it wouldn't surprise me if it was slower.

Okay, real talk.

I know there's probably 100 videos on this, but I don't have time to watch any of them right now...

How much performance is lost/gained from using Linux to play games via proton?

I'm certain any game with a native Linux version will work great, I'm mostly concerned with the ones that need some kind of emulation layer.

As an IT professional, it's getting harder to find what I need from Google.

At the same time, it's borderline impossible to find what I need from other search engines, most of the time, and it's downright stupid to ask AI about it, because it will always give you an easy answer that doesn't work using controls that don't exist.

Yay?

Might have been. The way I heard it, the toggle was a button, like the turbo button.

When I was a kid, first using computers in the mid 1980s, blue LEDs were considered to be impossible to make.

So my basic bitch IBM clone only had red indicator lights.

The implication is that people who grew up with newer technology had stuff that was fancier than the stuff older generations had, which is objectively true.

I'm sorry that you didn't get the joke, and I'm sorry that I had to explain it to you.

Good luck with life, seems like you'll need it.

Blue?

Look at Mr fancy pants over here with blue power indicators on their childhood computer.

Most of us made due with red, or if you were lucky, green.

I don't think I've seen these words assorted in this order before.

Hey now. Most of these people don't know about turbo....

They certainly don't know about the "magic/more magic" button....
