I’ve successfully avoided windows all year with Proton. But Battlefield 6 has got me seriously reconsidering. I wish developers would come up with a better solution to anti-cheat besides “let us just rootkit your machine bruh, it’s fine come on”

We really need to start warning people about the dangers of F1. 3 weeks ago I didn’t care about any of this, and now Mercedes legos are en route to my house, and I’m saying dumb shit like “I was there for hulkenpodium” in regular conversation.

I started watching Formula 1 for the drama, the spectacle, and to totally geek out over the engineering that goes into making it all happen.

And now I stay because of www.reddit.com/r/formuladank/. 😂

Running Fedora on my desktop has become a gateway drug to spinning up Arch on a mini-PC for even more side projects.

Omarchy is looking VERY promising:

This site has so much potential except for the fact that no one uses it ever.

Okay but Zellij is pretty incredible. Configuring layouts is a breeze and you can pull off cool workflows like this with one single command:

I want Spotify to never show me another single again. Albums only. EPs maybe.

Oblivion Remastered is running at a consistent 90+ FPS / Ultra settings.

Fedora + latest stable Proton.

Zero tinkering. More or less the out of the box configuration. Would love for this to be the year I kill off the final windows license in my house.

We are responsible for our beliefs. That was one of the hardest lessons of my breakdown 20+ years ago--I believed some flat out wrong things & I was responsible for changing those beliefs. 🤯

Inspired by my Steam Deck usage over the last couple years, I’ve now taken the plunge on my desktop workstation.

Gonna micro-blog my #GamingOnLinux 90 day experiment.

@bsky.app what’s the status of supporting language translations in app? I have translations configured in settings to English, but I’m not seeing the translations with mutuals.
