I’m also surprised that people see this kind of ads: I haven’t seen any since I removed Outlook free (after Windows prompted me to switch because the older UWP Mail app was being retired). I’m always surprised when people complain about the number of ads they get in Windows.
But that’s not the point: the point is no paid software should contain any ad.
Do you have a better source than this jpeg?
Our vestigial tail is the coccyx, and animals with tails have bones in them. Why would a vestigial tail grow at the base of the neck?
I would go as far as to say that this is for sure an opinion.
It’s a really solid Metroidvania, with beautiful design, music and story. It’s not the best Metroidvania (my vote would go to Hollow Knight) but the game is really good. The sequel is great too!
I don’t know how far in you went: the first half-hour or so is just slow storytelling. And just like all Metroidvanias, your set of powers at the beginning is very limited and isn’t so interesting. However, the game is well enough paced that as soon as you’re comfortable using your current power set, the game unlocks a new mechanic, and it never really stops until the end. It especially shines if you’re a completionist IMO, as being able to go back to each area to explore it to 100% with the whole power set feels really great.
I get my comics on getcomisc.org or Soulseek. The first one has good sources and a few collections, although nothing I’d call an actual “bulk”. With Soulseek you can download the batches of your choice.
You might not know that because this “spice” only exists in the US and I just learned it myself, but pumpkin spice has nothing to do with pumpkin flavor. It’s called that way because it’s the mix of spices used in pumpkin pies: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, ginger and cloves.
But there already is a device that answer that specific need, so it wouldn’t make sense for the Raspberry 5 to replace it.
Isn’t the Pi 3B still available for that kind of job?
It’s been this way for years, I think more than a decade. At least The Witcher 2 and 3 were available on GOG when they released.
Last update was from more than one year ago, last I checked. Has it been updated since?
Raw? Yes. Cooked? Hell no.
There are a few missing points in there IMO, like which of your ingredient is cooked, or how are they sliced? Graped carrots rises the score, but cook them and it’s less likely to be a salad. Diced radish? Not in my salad, especially not cooked, but thinly sliced raw radish definitely belongs. And don’t even get me started on tomatoes.
TIL salad is a spectrum.
Why is there even a door at this point? The whole point of a door is visual, sonic, heat and smell isolation, there’s barely any point if you have a 2cm gap below the door.
It’s the first time I hear that Steam OS isn’t Linux. Why wouldn’t it be considered as such?
I’m a software dev, so I’m already quite used to using the terminal routinely. My current plan is to reconsider if I see an interesting enough NVMe sale - and there are constantly a few these days, so I just might, in the next few weeks.
After all the advice I’ve been getting thanks to this thread, it appears that I would almost be among the best candidates to switch: I mostly play single player games, nothing with anti-cheat and no VR, I’m having heavy doubts that I still need anything Windows-centric. The main downside I still see is the performance hog with an Nvidia GPU.
I see no reason to use Matlab in education nowadays: both Octave and Python provide as many features, are as easy to use, and free. The teacher could have verified or made his class accessible through Octave with minimal effort, as OP pointed out. But they wouldn’t be bothered and required all the students in their class to buy a 70€ license each.
Thank you for the recommendations! I don’t mind having some proprietary blobs here and there - as you pointed out, with Steam and the games I was going to run on it, it’s basically necessary anyway, especially with a NVIDIA GPU. However…
I strongly encourage just keeping a 1 or 2 TB drive for Windows, depending on what you play.
All in all, that, the drivers being a bit behind on NVIDIA and the few annoyances that happen with external devices (like you pointed out, with a 3rd party controller) are unfortunately exactly the reasons I might not to switch just yet: while it seems to be more convenient to go full Linux for a few things here and there, but if I am going to need Windows, should I really bother keeping both installations? I’d have to buy a new, larger NVMe because my system doesn’t support that for now, reinstall everything anyway… And so far, I’ve been able to do everything I need without needing two parallel systems.
Good to know! Which version of Solus are you using? Although it doesn’t seem to really matter as I don’t think any of them are really dedicated to gaming.
I didn’t know Tom Zarek was a returning actor from the original BGS series! And the actor of Captain Apollo, no less.
