lol it’s been a bit overwhelming on the inbox. I expected to get told off

☺️ it’s gonna be a quite a long while before the first install but thanks!

you say PKM as if it’s a specific thing beyond a notepad and an insane dude’s scrawlings. I am intrigued. what does your PKM look like?

cool. yea nvidia will be a problem. guess that narrows my choices!

I saw some cinnamon stuff and i still dont get what that means!

whatcha gonna use for gaming?

I’m gonna have to figure out how to install another SSD I guess… hope my motherboard is compatible with whatever is on the Market. I bought it all in asia and apparently the motherboard is an issue

it sounds like debían is better then?

I see! if it can take a while, I see why old machines would be friendlier to linux. more time for drivers to get updates.

thank you for that tip. I currently run all my games and docs from external HDs. (my pc itself only has a small amount of SSD storage used only for booting etc, and i dont know how to install a new hard drive yet…) I would have definitely tried to just plug in my HD and tried to run it through steam lol

better find a rest stop!

I’m not sure what you mean by flew under my radar but I don’t really even know what steamdeck is. some kind of handheld console? how’s it relevant here?

lmao 🤣 wouldn’t that be nice?

Honestly that’s kind of the dream (I already have raspi theater plans).

It’s sad how much technology has changed since what we thought it was gonna be in the 80s. we HAVE the capacity to do all those things, but we get locked out of modifying our own devices!

GPU is Nvidia. I’m gonna have to look up the words distro, Ubuntu, and debian and get back to you. just to demonstrate where I’m at lol

whelp, I’ve got a laptop and a desktop. the desktop is old as hell, maybe it’s time for a new start. I could set up a new machine to run with Ubuntu

oh that’s cool. nope, whole library is on windows on one PC right now.

I was thinking about trying out dual booting to get a feel for it. my understanding was that many programs wont work with linux or require complicated fixes to get them running. so id hate to be left downstream without a paddle, so to speak

kitten biscuits with their own weather station… where will you go whwn lemmee goes kaput?

yea? i LOVE maps. i was hoping to just sit here and look at radars for the evening

hey that seems like a pretty straightforward option

wonder why it’s not more popular

that’s cool. yea i was hoping for something like that. i guess it’s hard to avoid commodification of meteorological reports since they rely on a bunch of individual stations sharing data… so once that gets snatched up by some capitalist power what are you gonna do, go make your own weather station?

or maybe not, i have literally no idea how this works. i assume people only know things by asking the local places. i guess they can tell me the weather on antarctica or the moon with a good enough satellite. (uh, well i guess that’d just be “cold,” and “none”)
