I can imagine that getting confused with Guix (pronounced geeks)

Nah, I wanna hear about bugs that have affected you that you can confirm are bugs :-)

That’s only true for the Java edition, some people play the Bedrock edition instead tho - and even then, that can still be run on Linux lol

Give examples or get out

They didn’t say Steam Deck

Running games through Proton is as simple as clicking install and then play on Steam. You might need to enable Steam Play or such but I haven’t had setup or config troubles with games in years now

Don’t you know that GUIs are super double duper against the unix philosophies of old? Mr Linux Torbald rolling in his grave just thinking of it

For the first one, try Lutris

I’m sorry, my goal wasn’t to be a bother. My initial comment was intended to be friendly and funny - I’m not trying to patronize or be antagonistic. I learned a couple of years ago that I have autism, so I should have learned my lesson by now and stopped trying to be funny; It never pans out the way I mean for it to.

Hope I wasn’t too much of a drag on your day, and I hope it gets better for you.

With that said, a genuine question with no jokes: Can you help me understand how 2016 counts as recent, given the context? It was almost a decade ago, and I’m having trouble comprehending how it counts at all as recent since in tech “recent” usually means “in the last 2-3 years” unless you’re comparing to something from a much longer time ago like the 90s.

It was a lighthearted jab at calling 8 years ago recent; Not a political statement about Apple or operating systems.

8 years is a ton of time in tech, CPUs from 2016 are ancient. Single-core CPU performance has doubled in Intel’s laptop chips since then, and modern laptop CPUs from Intel are often 12-core, versus the top end 2016 MacBook Pro having 4 cores.

Not trying to start any fights, was just poking fun at the choice to call 2016 recent

I can read, and a 2016 MacBook pro is not even a bit recent; It’s from 8 years ago :-)

Just a bit of light-hearted leg pulling, nothing to get worked up over

I hate to break it to you friendo, but 8 year old hardware isn’t recent. It may still be usable, but that doesn’t make it recent. It’s ok though grandpa, let’s get you back to bed

The dual GPU problem has actually for the most part also been solved; Optimus rarely poses a problem these days

I use neovim (btw) and have it kitted out like a full IDE and it uses about 1gb of RAM at most to run a project. Crazy how much RAM static analysis takes.

F-keys!

dang it, did it too hard and all the bits fell out.

now I’ve got 1s and 0s all over the place and it’s your fault

I’ve never noticed any creaking from mine, before or after the swap. Any specific pressure/motions you can think of that I should try?
