It does look very chonky, and not very aesthetically pleasing.

However, as a heavy user of the steam deck over the past year, I am super excited. The track pads and the extra inputs on the steam deck give so much flexibility to play games that otherwise wouldn’t work well with controller at all. I’m just hoping it feels better (or at least not worse) than the steam deck in terms of ergonomics. I plan on getting one for my desktop PC.

I’ve seen some people say they got fusion 360 working on linux with bottles, but I didn’t have any luck with it. I use OpenSCAD and FreeCAD for making models to print, but if you need Fusion360 specifically for work (or specific Adobe products) then you are kind of stuck unless your company is ok with a change. You won’t be able to view or edit other people’s Fusion360 files without that specific application. You can always run Windows in a VM on linux and install only the applications you need it for there. If you have a good enough PC that is viable, but isn’t a great experience on a lower end system.

Do you use vim motions in your JetBrains IDE? We use Webstorm at work and I installed the vim motions plugin because I want to get more fluent with using Vim but I haven’t really given it a fair shot yet.

My 8 and 9 year old kids use xubuntu on a 2013 macbook air. They use it for writing stories, making a lot of pixel art with Piko Pixel, and some code block style programming with Lego Spike. They are learning about multi-user systems, file management, etc. I’m keeping an eye out for a cheap pc that can run Minecraft (lots of those right now since people are just trashing old win 10 machines) because the older kid wants to learn how to make Minecraft mods.

Also the fact that a lot of the big firms really seem to be just interested in it as a way to get more user data. People will share some pretty sensitive info with an LLM that they wouldn’t otherwise provide.

Running locally is definitely the way to go, if you’re going to use them.

It’s always something 😅

That sounds really frustrating. When my 1070 croaks I’m going with an AMD. Probably not going to upgrade before then since I mostly play older games and GPUs are just too expensive these days. First it was crypto mining, now it’s AI… I just want to play my single player RPGs!

That sucks. I have definitely had issues with certain hardware on other machines. Even with this Bazzite install, sleep doesn’t work (thanks to my Gigabyte MB, as the other poster mentioned) and I have some weird behavior with ethernet, but my asus wifi card is working fine, thankfully, and that didn’t work properly on windows when I tried it before I stopped dual booting.

Hopefully you can find something that works well with your setup. The most frustrating issues to debug are ones with support for some specific hardware that isn’t widely used by other Linux users, and may not ever be fully supported. Now that I am fully on linux, next time I upgrade I’m going to try to find components that are proven to work, and will probably be avoiding both Gigabyte and nVidia.

Huh, I may look into this. Sounds neat. Thanks!

I still had to wait for a long time for shaders to load on initial launch on some games (DA Veilguard) but performance seemed fine. I didn’t have performance issues on Ubuntu so not sure about your particular issues, but another thing to consider is based on your card, the latest nvidia drivers may not be correct - I had to download an older driver package for my card (1070) as recommended by nvidia. Bazzite had me select which series of card I had when downloading the ISO, so I assume it included the older drivers for my card. I haven’t actually checked the installed driver version though

I have heard of rebasing but I haven’t dug into it. Sounds really cool!

I do use my PC for gaming, but Bazzite did come with a lot of other “gaming” software that I don’t use, so it’s good to know there is a lighter weight alternative that otherwise has the same benefits.

I have an older Ryzen 5, 16GB of ram and an nVidia 1070, so not cutting edge for sure. I downloaded the regular desktop version, not the steam big picture console-ish version, and steam account was not required. I just closed the steam window until I was done with my setup. I haven’t seen any performance issues

You have the r and n flipped: userjourneys.ai

Highly depends on local infrastructure. Unfortunately the most common city planning philosophy in the US (from what I have seen) is pedestrian hostile. And really it’s not great for driving either. It just sucks to go anywhere.

If it were easier to walk or bike to get food it would be different. Sometimes I don’t want to spend 30 minutes in a metal death box for a burrito. We cook most of our meals at home but occasional delivery is nice.

Nah, we’ll just SELECT * from both tables and loop through the arrays in JavaScript to associate the records.

It’s beautiful <3

I do that too 😅 I’m getting better at avoiding the scary trigger words and getting them to agree with the principles

I’m the guy but instead of a pyramid scheme I’m just trying to get all of my friends to install Linux and switch to fediverse social platforms

Kind of frustrating that one of the main points against Linux is anti cheat, which basically comes down to Spyware that assumes you are a hacker if you run Linux, so the game publishers ban your account. That isn’t a Linux problem, since often these are games that run fine on Linux.
