The only person to gain an exemption to this would be hulk hogan, for he calls everyone brother, and that’s OK.

This might be a boy deployed, but its not dat boi.

Fuck the puritans who fired her.

Ironically, there’s a chance that she may have been doing just that.

I literally just had this happen a couple days ago. I dual boot with Linux Mint and I generally don’t go into windows except for specific use cases. So sometimes it can be a while between boots for windows on my system.

I had to use a windows only program, but it was a quick 5 minute thing. Finished my task, shut it down and I get the update prompt. Fine windows, update and shutdown. Of course it reboots, but it defaults into Mint and I’m confused for a minute why my PC is still on when I come back.

As a long time dabbler and recent full on Mint user, I would recommended either Ubuntu or Mint for a first timer for sure. I would say that I enjoy Mint more just because I like the look and feel of the Cinnamon DE more over the Gnome DE or whatever it is that Ubuntu ships default with. Mint is very easy to use, doesn’t have lots of major updates all the time so it doesn’t break and it’s relatively light weight.

A phone app?! Why didn’t I think to look for that. I’ll give that a look as well. Man I’m glad this community is full of troubleshooters.

Good to know. My PC is a dual boot with Windows 11, so no problems there. Thank you for the advice, I’ll be sure to update after I give it a shot.

This is certainly an angle worth checking out. Is it easy enough to roll back the firmware?

Already did that to no avail. It seems like no matter what I do, this is what I’m doomed to. I’ll have to check out the BIOS/firmware for the controllers like the other person suggested.

I also wanted to lose a bit of weight and get stronger, but to me, going to the gym sucks. I never stick with that, but I really enjoy physical activities with a purpose. So I joined a rock climbing gym. It’s all the physical working out that I want with all the fun that I need to stick with it. Now if I could just eat better…

Uh, excuse me, but the steam controller was actually the first Valve hardware to do this.

How DARE you ask about GUI controls! But seriously I’d love to see more of it. It certainly would make on-boarding of windows users much easier. All the CLI functions scare most away. It seems like every time I ask about a GUI for something I get shot down hard. Like I understand why CLI is more prevalent, way easier to troubleshoot and instruct people across multiple distros. But if you want to grow the Linux community, ease of use to the broad public has to become priority, and I think GUIs is the best starting point for that.

And having things built in would be a major help as well, instead of having to see if the software center has it, and then searching GitHub when it doesn’t. Again, I get that some distros might have that, but that would be a niche distro for certain things. A nice GUI tool to adjust GPU parameters would be super (using coolero at the moment), a better audio device manager, gamepad device manager as well, task manager that’s a little more user friendly.

I’m rambling and I don’t want to sound like I dislike Linux. I made Mint my only OS on my laptop and two PCs in my house. I love it. I keep W11 on my gaming PC as a dual boot strictly for VR. That’s all that’s holding me back. I’m fine with CLI tools but I’d reeeeeeally like it if GUI tools became more prevalent.

VR is very much not stalled. Is it a niche thing? Oh for sure, but it’s still very much being developed. Between all the new hardware and software that’s coming out, it’ll be a few more years of super niche stuff and then it’ll start becoming more mainstream.

As others users have said though, VR on Linux is non trivial to set up and sometimes ill advised. I run dual boot with Mint and W11 strictly for VR support.

on the way might realize it’s just easier to console. Kinda where I’m at.

Me too. Discovering lots of good tools are CLI, so just getting familiar with that instead.

I grew up not liking rap and hip hop, except exclusively liking Eminem. But lately I’ve been trying to branch out. Thought I’d give Kanye a try, so I listed to the College Dropout album and wow, I was not expecting to like it the way I did. Almost the whole thing is solid beats and decent rhymes. Same with Graduation. Color me impressed Kanye, I don’t like you as a person but your early music is great.

No, missle.
