I would have no problem if that popped up in my feed while I was in a public place.

That said, I don't think it would be safe for work, so the nsfw would apply. But I would not be browsing Lemmy at work either.

That is a bit of a selection bias. What you are effectively saying is "the biblical names that have survived to today have staying power".

But even that isn't true here as almost all of the names you cite are significantly different now than their original forms. Looking at your list we have Yeshua, Shemuel, Mikael, Rivka, Yohanan, Miriam, and Paulus. Adam is mostly the same, as is David (with a bit of an accent difference), but the rest didn't exactly emerge as they were.

My understanding is that it is working much better now than a few months ago. I haven't actually put it to the test yet, but it is on my list of things to try once I have time to set up my index again.

There is no current game I want to play that doesn't run on Linux. Valve really has done an amazing job with proton and getting games to work as well or better on Linux.

Now, that said, I am not big into competitive multiplayer, so take that into account. Anti cheat is still a problem since most of the current ones need permissions that are not normally given on Linux.

Well it was about that time I realized this judge was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the plethazoic era.

Having been in the military, I find it hilarious and accept that it is not a place everyone should be. The recruiter likely has a very similar realistic understanding of where the military stands with people right now.

My power comes from the two sets of solar panels and batteries on my land. It is possible to do without fossil fuels. We're not there yet for everyone, but the problems you point out are solvable, and if solar/EVs had the same amount of backing from the government over the same timeframe that gas/ICE cars have had, we would be in a very different place right now.

I am trying to think of things that are difficult for using something like Linux mint vs my last Windows install. If we are taking about doing a full, clean install of both, I think my last Windows install was way worse.

Mint installed and just detected everything I was using without a problem. I had to tweak some minor things to get it to display on the 4K TV I am using in my living room, and there are still some games that don't play nicely with Linux.

The Windows install, on the other hand, required me to get drivers for the video card, WIFI, and a few other things to get all the hardware to work right. Then getting it how I like it took longer than I like and I had to visit multiple sites to get all my preferred software.

That doesn't explain why already established products are ditching things like plainly visible scroll bars in products like Microsoft word and other content viewers.

The fact that you consider that a "normal" and acceptable tactic shows the problem

 

(I am recreating this post from Reddit here as well in case anyone has any insight or if I solve the issue, so I can add my solution to the non-Reddit body of troubleshooting knowledge)

I am quite a happy Deck owner and have had no problems that I couldn't tackle with a bit of Linux knowhow and willingness to do a google search.

But... I am trying something new. I have the official dock and have used it for months to play games directly off the Deck just fine. I have also used the deck to stream games off my PC running Linux Mint (Cyberpunk worked nicely). What I am trying now is to stream a game from the Mint PC to the Deck while the Deck is docked to the official dock.

I dock the Deck (wired to the network), and it can see the PC (also wired). I can click to stream the game as normal and it even starts the game on the remote PC. But that is where it fails. It sits on the loading screen for a moment, and then aborts back to the Deck library. I have the option to "connect" to the now running game, but it only pulls up the generic loading screen again for a few moments before dumping back to the game page in my library.

Games I have tried: Cyberpunk, Outer Wilds, Fallout 4. All of these run just fine when streaming direct to the Deck, but fail when trying to do it docked to a TV.

Any ideas?

The Steam Deck ran it surprisingly well, to be honest. I used the settings off this page and it ran at a pretty solid ~40 FPS.

Not my favorite game, but it was pretty and fun to jump around hacking people as I hacked at people (with a katana). Story was ok, and the ending was just a bit meh for me, but worth it in my eyes.

Next I'm on to playing Outer Wilds docked to the TV with my partner. I'm a few cycles into it and am hooked. The Steam Deck was an excellent buy!
