  • Policies that have been in place since Reagan, but sure, let’s land it all on Kamala Harris, right this moment.

    I’m sure it has nothing to do with sowing discord and divisiveness instead of dealing with the actual immediate threat — a self-admitted wanna-be dictator with a sycophantic Supreme Court and nothing to stop him from immediately ruining the country.

    If Trump gets in, it’s because of the immensely ill-informed, willfully ignorant, or havoc-wreaking/rapacious voters, not because Kamala wasn’t raked over the coals.

    Keep trying this bullshit, I’m sure it’ll work on some.






  • Have you tried Lutris + GE-Proton + umu?

    Edit>> Simply: Install Lutris, install Protonplus, install GE-Proton9-15 (or latest) with Protonplus, install game within Lutris. Configure the Runner for the game to use GE-Proton and then run the game (which Lutris will launch the game using umu).

    I’ve been running WoW this way for many months with no issues and no fps problems.

    Edit2>> You may be able to tell Lutris where to look for the game, but I would advise installing fresh on your ext4 or btrfs or whatever Linux drive you have.

    Also, if it helps get you away from Windows, I’ve been running games this way since April, and finally dumped Windows for good. The only games I can’t play are those with unsupported anti-cheat (which I don’t play anyway so it doesn’t affect me).

    Edit3>> And in case you were wondering, I’m running Garuda Linux (Garuda KDE Dr460nized version but I changed the theme).





  • I have been using Linux off and on for 25 years (using the server pretty consistently, but always hedged with the desktop for various reasons). Since Proton and GE-Proton allow every game I want to play to work in Linux, back when Recall was first announced, I decided to finally stop hedging and went all in on the Linux desktop.

    And I’m not going back. Everything is working for me and Microsoft can screw off if they think I’m going to allow such blatant spyware in my house. Their telemetry was always suspect, but this is now overt despite any assurances they attempt to make.

    Edit>> And their “oh you can uninstall Recall” isn’t trustworthy when they will easily reinstall it with a Windows update (they have done this in the past with other software — notably Edge and Teams).

    This article sounds a decade old.

    systemd attempts to cover more ground instead of less

    Have I got news for the author about the kernel he seems to have no issue with. (Note: I love the Linux kernel, but being a monolith, it certainly covers more ground instead of less, so the author’s point is already flawed unless he wants to go all Tanenbaum on the kernel, too)
