I went from Windows to Mint, to Pop-OS, to EndeavourOS and haven't left EOS.

My time with Mint and Pop were about a week each. I switch from Windows to Linux 2 years ago.

For my experience, jumping into Arch feet first has been a great learning experience. My desktop PC is a gaming PC first, so having the most up to date packages has been great. It's helped 'de-mystify' Linux for me. I've had to troubleshoot issues, but thanks to Arch's excellent and extensive documentation, with some light reading I've manages to make it work.

I'm now moving on to setting up my own Homelab/Server, which will NOT be Arch based (...unless...?), because the experience with learning how to navigate Linux with Arch has given me the confidence to tackle something I have absolutely no experience in (NETWORKING).

Fuck me, I now feel like a clown for taking advantage of that lifetime subscription I bought a couple of months back.

Replaced the stock OLED drive with the 2tb drive from the LCD this morning, and so far so good - no issues to report.

Even my modded games (New Vegas, Witcher 3) carried over with no problems.

So this is probably a dumb question, but I got a refurbished OLED and plan to pop my 2tb drive from my LCD model into the new OLED.

This should just be plug and play right? I don't see anything about the OLED decks using a different OS or firmware or anything.

EDIT: Thanks for the feedback y'all! I'm going to try it and see what happens. I'll report back if anything funky happens. Not a big deal if I end up needing to reformat the drive.

I've intermittently tried to get Shogun 2 running on Linux over the past two years and have not been able to get it to boot up. The native Linux version has been broken for a while, so this is great news.

Deeply ironic that when this news broke I was in an urgent care out of network because I couldn't get an appointment anywhere with my employer provided United Healthcare.

Oh well, anyway.

Mainly the locked bootloader that GrapheneOS offers. It's more secure, and GrapheneOS emphasizes security over all else, but privacy features are part of that security.

You directly compared owning, customizing, and shooting a gun to the way a child would develop the ability to play a musical instrument. On this article about a 14 year old child being gifted a gun.

In the context of child development though? Nah lol. This is a very unserious argument.

Comparing a gun to a musical instrument is peak American lmao

The Xbox 360 controller wireless adpater was a pretty big piece of shit 70% of the time.
