Yeah, it doesn't :(

 

Couldn't run Windows 7, and Windows 10 ran like shit. My old PC basically got a second life with Linux.

This is Half-Life GOTY running on Wine, runs really smooth.

The only downside is lack of directX support, OpenGL is there but the integrated graphics card only supports till OpenGL 2.1, which is not enough for many things, and also slower than directX. Still, my PC feels much faster now, and doesn't scream like a demon whenever I open up a browser :)

(Maybe I should dual boot Win7(While never connecting it to the web), just to play some more games with DirectX?)

Also, my local hospital has started using Ubuntu, their old PCs also couldn't handle the heavy burden of running Windows I guess ๐Ÿคฃ

Yeah It's more reliable in that way.

Still, I wish there was a something like a simple flag for the package manager so I could control if user data gets preserved.

I'm a bit surprised that that isn't a feature.

 

I recently installed chromium, created a new user and logged into a website. After my work was done, I removed chromium with "sudo dnf remove chromium".

A few days later I installed chromium again through dnf. My user account was still there and I was logged into the same site.

Is there a way to avoid this and uninstall an app along with all its user data?

Here's an excellent tutorial for that: https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ&t=0

 

I had an Aspire One D270 laptop with a 32-bit Intel Atom CPU and 1 gigabyte of RAM, so I installed Debian with Xfce on it, but even then it's running way too slow.

Is there anything I can do to make the laptop faster and more responsive given its limited memory?

Me too, and I'm surprised how I haven't. As a kid I used to pirate stuff from tons of shady websites without any antivirus software on an outdated Windows XP.

What's wrong with lemmyworld?

Wdym by dead on performance? works fine for me.

And yeah, I feel like I'm nailing my feet just to avoid walking into a trap here lol. I should relax, I've minimized a LOT of data collection already.

Any good browser suggestion you have?

I am aware of that feature, but I can't do the same for a few essential system apps that constantly ping chinese IPs for whatever reason.

As for my browser, I mostly use Tor browser for browsing/reading and Mull for downloading and streaming.

Am I being too paranoid? lmao

 

I have a Redmi Note 11, I am planning to install a custom ROM. This is the first time I'm about to do something like this.

How good of a reputation does the Paranoid Android OS have? Will I get good long term support? How functional is it?

 

I recently booted up Half-Life 2 to replay it. I have played the absolute shit out of this game before, so 60% of it just feels like a drag to me now. It was such an amazing game but it's sort of spoiled for me after I've played it too much.

I also discovered ULTRAKILL a few months ago. I feel like I could play that game forever. It has tons of content, weapon combinations and higher difficulties with different enemy behaviour.

Do any of you have more game suggestions like Ultrakill? A really replayable singleplayer game.

!!BTW I don't mean online multiplayer games or games similar to candy crush!!

 

There is no longer an option to use ChatGPT without an ID on chatgpt.com for me. Is anyone else having the same problem?

 

Do you know of any songs that an average person wouldn't easily find on the internet, but is still worth listening at least once in a lifetime. I highly encourage music that isn't in English.
