penquin,

Lol. Right after Microsoft added sudo to windows.

penquin,

Why are they “cost cutting”? Are they going broke or something?

penquin,

Save it and then go to “Gnome Tweaks” and activate the option “make Caps Lock an additional Ctrl” on “Additional Layout Options - Caps Lock behavior”.

And how do I do that on Plasma? What’s the equivalent to that in plasma?

penquin,

I actually found that option (damn plasma has everything lol) and selecting it killed the capslock completely. However, doing whatever the person did in the link without the option selected fixed the issue.

penquin,

“an alarming number of important people” is the source. That’s more than enough, right?

penquin,

😂. Of course I’m joking. That claim is bullshit. Hey I know a guy who sold a bridge, and he’s wealthy now. Source: trust me, he told me.

penquin,

Pop os has an app store called “pop shop”, that has both apt and flatpaks. Get all of your apps from there. They also have an app installed called “eddy” that you can use to install .deb packages in case an app is not available in their app store and you had to download the .deb package for it. Also, I know pop os has an outdated desktop, but they’ve been working tirelessly on their rust based cosmic desktop and it’s coming along pretty nicely (an alpha release is coming soon). They do maintain their current distro no problem. I honestly would stick with it and set it up to your liking. It’s a very good distro. As for your OneDrive, that can work with Linux no problem. You can also use Google drive on Linux.

penquin,

At least y’all have “paved” roads.

penquin,

I just got a OnePlus 12 and this phone is fantastic. Bootloader is unlocked and you can do whatever you want. Battery is amazing. Charger is insane. Camera is more than decent. Price is very reasonable for what it offers.

penquin,

Midori is a fork of florp and I think is better, too.

penquin,

If y’all are mad about this, look into Midori. It’s a fork of florp and I think it’s better, too.

penquin,

As far as I know, yes.

penquin,

Welp, I’ll be damned then. Back to good ole Firefox then

penquin,

I tested the speed on both and Midori was a lot faster.

penquin,

😂 You can never beat FOSS, I guess.

penquin,

Fuck shitendo. Their games are shit anyway. 🖕🏽

penquin,

I don’t. I never got the hype. Their games are trash. Their graphics on their switch are trash. Not sure what people like about Nintendo honestly.

penquin,

I don’t use app images of flatpaks. I don’t like either.

penquin,

What do you do when you need the “F” buttons on those keyboards that don’t have them? Genuine question!

penquin,

Oh damn, so you can program your regular letters to do that!!! Nice. I’m JUST starting to get into mechanical keyboards and don’t really know much. I have a Corsair K70 pro RGB with red buttons. It’s nice, but I just can’t get used to typing on it. I’m always hitting two buttons at a time. I have to lift my fingers really high and type. Second issue is the metallic ping. So, I’ve been doing some research to find me something I enjoy and also easy to type on. I love the clickitty clacks (or what they call thock). 😁

penquin,

I can solder and do all that, but I honestly don’t want to now after watching how the process could be very lengthy. I’ll look into keychrone. Having dedicated media keys is a very important thing to me, if a keyboard doesn’t have it, I won’t even look at it. Thank you for the recommendation. Do you have any model number in mind that you recommend? I like red switches and 100% size keyboard

penquin,

Pretty cool. Thank you. I like watching videos on all these types of keyboards.

penquin,

Very nice. Thank you for explaining

penquin,

Do you have any knowledge about the V6? My friend just gifted me one for Christmas. What are the odds!!!

Bought my first Steam Deck after seeing the deep discounts on refurbs...what should i know as a first time Steam Deck/PC gamer?

As title says, once Valve announced the OLED deck, I saw the refurbished originals go on a deep discount and figured it was time to buy in. So I ordered a refurb 512GB and I’m so excited for it to arrive! Been in a gaming rut for a long time now and, having never been a PC gamer, I’m look forward to checking out a bunch of...

penquin,

Install all the emulators you can. Learn how to emulate. It’s so much fun to play older games that you might’ve missed out on in the past.

penquin,

I love this comment. I don’t have a deck, but I saved it. Thank you so much <3

penquin,

Here here, best 6 years ever. Never looked back.

penquin, (edited )

Genuine question, is enaulating older systems, with ROMs/ISOs you get off the Internet, considered piracy? No current systems, only older ones. Newest one is PS3. Is this piracy?

Edit: ok, thank you, everyone. I emulate very old games because it’s a nostalgia thing. Games I played when I was very young and I wanted to play them again. I don’t emulate anything new as I have a huge collection of physical copies of games I played on newer systems like the PS4.

penquin,

Just use Thorium

penquin,

This thing is blazing fast. And when I say blazing fast, I mean freaking blazing fast. I’ve never seen a browser this fast my entire life. Lol It’s chrome but 10x faster. Give it a shot.

penquin,

Well, you have two options. The same developer of thorium does have a Firefox one and it’s called mercury. Blazing fast, too. Or you can install adblock detection bypass extension on thorium. It is an extension that’s made to work with chrome alongside ublock origin to bypass YouTube adblock detection. In fact, I literally just ran into that issue today and the other extension fixed it.

penquin,

I’ve just built a PC last month and it’s where I’m going to be from now on. I’m so sick of console’s going the extra mile to squeeze every last penny out of us with their PS+ bullshit. I’ll just use steam for the new games I like playing and emulate all the old games. It’s been so much fun figuring things out. Better picture. Better FPS and the mouse and keyboard are much better than a controller. I can’t believe I’ve missed out on PC all these years.

penquin,

Thank you so much. I have signed up. The extension isn’t working on firefox, though. I will look into more and see. Hope it is not a linux thing.

penquin, (edited )

I got an AMD ryzen 7 5700G CPU 8 cores 16 threads here. an AMD RX580 graphics card(very old card from 2017 but works amazing here. Modular 750 wats crosair power supply here. 16GB of ddr4 ram at 3200 mhz (any brand works don’t worry) here. A gigabyte motherboard A520i here.. I picked a montech case mini tower here.

Edit: I already had the storage from a dell mini I had before this one. I now have 512 SSD for the root partition. 1 TB 2.5" SATA SSD for the home partition and a third 2TB 2.5" SATA SSD to store all my games on and for the steam library.

penquin,

No worries. I’ll look into it and submit a a report on GitHub for the dev if they have one.

penquin,

Steam deck is calling

penquin,

I have tried it. It was actually pretty decent. You can even upgrade the screen to a higher resolution now if you feel adventurous. Or you can just install holoOS (the steam deck OS) on a smaller PC and set it up to your tv and game all day with a controller. Or you can dock the steam deck to your TV and connect any controller to it. With linux, the possibilities are endless.
