Ubuntu at work since it’s well supported and we can expect any IT people to be able to deploy our packages.
Pop 24.04 because I think it’d be cool to see how performant and maintainable and customizable a desktop that isn’t GTK or QT based. Something sparkly without the legacy choices of the past to consider in the codebase. Plus even though I’ve never touched Rust, it’s so hyped that I’m interested to see how it all works out. It’s my gaming desktop that also has a Windows VM for occasional trying something out. Also process RAW photos with Darktable. Every now and then use Alpaca to try out free LLMs, handbrake, ffmpeg, image magick, compile something
Fedora, stable to me and it goes on my minipc. I run Jellyfin on it and occasionally SAMBA or whatever. I like to see how GNOME changes.
On a Legion Go, Bazzite with KDE. Steam and seeing how KDE Plasma progresses over years. Bazzite introduced me to distrobox and boxbuddy which I now use on the gaming pop_os machine too.
An old laptop with Linux Mint on it. I like to see how Cinnamon is. Used to favor it when I first tried Linux from Windows.
It’s been a long time but I also used to really like Budgie but I feel like everything is pretty solid at this point and I no longer care to chase modern GNOME 2 or Windows XP/7 UI design

It wouldn’t. Federal funding of either isn’t large enough to end them but end federal funding and NPR and PBS being party neutral can then switch to being against the anti-environmentalist and imperialism party

Upgraded my minipc to it the other day from 40. No problems. Fedora is consistently stable for me
commander@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•White House to Ask Congress to Rescind Funding From NPR and PBS2·6 days agoEveryone should also download the PBS app and subscribe to PBS YouTube channels like PBS Terra That would at least help them financially indirectly. At least help them with exposure in the modern media distribution environment

So if possible for anyone, it may be good to make financial contributions to PBS. Doesn’t have to be recurring

I still game on it more than on my PS5 or Switch. Really hard to buy games on the PS5 or Switch when they’re so much cheaper on PC. Plus how much years of paying for PS+ adds up to. 7 years of PS+ Extra is a gaming PC

https://isvalvedeckardout.com/
Technical specifications from leaked prototypes include dual 2160×2160 LCD panels operating at 120Hz, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processing, eye-tracking capabilities, and wireless PC VR streaming via Wi-Fi 6/6E, potentially utilizing a dedicated USB dongle.
Hopefully it’ll have a Snapdragon 8 Elite or 8 Elite gen 2. Will be interesting to see how all the work they’ve been doing with FEX-emu x86 to ARM translator performs at launch of a device

commander@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar'English54·10 days agoI play PC because my copy of StarCraft from like 2000 still works and I can use any computer/gaming peripheral in history that still physically works to this day on a PC. A PC is more compatible with PS4 peripherals/gamepads than a PS5. Plus not paying for the privilege to play multiplayer games that a developer is hosting in AWS
The experience being so similar between a PC and a console is more an indictment on locked down PCs as consoles than against PC. E-waste
commander@lemmy.worldto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Nintendo is probably "seriously considering" a Switch 2 price increase in the US, but former marketing leads "very hopeful" that it will ultimately "eat the cost"English111·10 days agoI’m not buying. I think they could have it be $499.99 and have that pass well enough. Once that leading number says 5, the consoles screwed in my opinion. Not just tariffs, it’s partially their own doing with how everyone has come to understand that buying Nintendo means you’re not going to get good digital sales comparable to Steam and probably not PS5. You’ll get re-releases of games from PS4/Steam that released a decade+ ago at $60+ while you can get them $10 regularly on Steam. Nintendo first party games physical copies barely go down in price and their digital sale prices suck. Nintendo set the tone for games being priced premium even when they’re old old
Really emphasizing to the world that the US is run by bunch of idiots
