I know its not the most ideal place, but FB marketplace where I live has lots of old PCs/Laptops for under 50 eur. I would probably start there personally.

New Vegas, the writing of the dialoges are brilliant. Some of the funniest or straight up saddest stuff are both there.

Deleted my Reddit acc during the APIcalypse. Lemmy is just awesome.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Bazzite (and Linux in general) is fricking amazing.

Just built a new gaming PC for linux only. After test running Linux Mint on my old PC for almost a year I ditched Windows for good. Now Bazzite is the second distro I tried and Games run great, I play coop titles with my friends all the time and apart from a handful of anti cheat titles everything just works. I do not need to tinker, I do not use the terminal or do advanced stuff. Highly recommend.

First I thougt its just a prank by a bored social media intern, but it looks like the whole company is built on this insane absurd communication. It was a hilarious read :D

About to install it on my new rig. I am using Mint, which is fantastic and it stays on my other PC, just wanted to try the nice baked in gaming features.

Great addition, thanks. There are similar online prescription glass webshops in Europe as well. They just need your eye exam results, some basic measurements of your head and they can cheaply make great glasses/sunglasses.

Its probably not the best answer you looking for but since I use prescription glasses for driving I always get a pair of prescription sunglasses as well. I can choose the frame, the lense and the type of coating on it (usually go for polarized/anti-reflection).Even my health insurance works on these so I can claim back some money from the price since its qualifies as regular prescription glasses (EU). Just need a descent enough optometrist. Some places even allow you to re-use existing frames and you only paying for the eye exam and lenses)

They are not cheap for sure (100-200 euros minimum for frame + lenses) but for me its a great long term investment.

Welcome to the club :D I did the same thing last summer and also switched to Mint and never looked back. So basically Im a fellow newbie. It was the best decision as everything just works minus the windows shenanigans.

Even gaming is almost perfect (apart from the occasional tinkering here and there) its more than great. All my games work great, some better than under win.

Im even in the middle of building my new gaming PC exclusively for Linux in mind.

As I have to use win 11 for work (work laptop) I can see switching was the right decision as every update makes it more annoying and bloated.

Tech support, the number of times I had to explain trivial things to some angry entitled asshat, who refused to read the instructions or didnt try basic troubleshooting steps (eg. turn it off and on again).

Also airport jobs. If people in holiday mode would just look up and follow the fucking signs…

Same. Since the Win 11 update on my work laptop I got so fed up with the OS, that I installed Linux on both of my desktop PC and my wifes laptop. Zero regrets, no more MS bullshit on my personal stuff.

But can I take my Steam Deck with me?

It wasn’t just the alien, it was the setup of the scene and the reaction of Joaquins character. Brilliant moment in a silly movie.

My wifes old laptop died and I got an ancient gaming laptop from a colleague and put Linux Mint on it. It works great.

She uses it for studying and some light gaming (Stardew Valley). It just works. She never used Linux before but had zero issues using it and she even said its just like Windows, just faster.

I personally love the smaller userbase. Less spam, more quality, less screentime, no doomscrolling. Its a win-win in my book.

No idea, also not my ideal preference, but he seem to like it, while he was miserable with the IT school.

Very true, more people should follow their dreams.

I know a guy who was kind of forced into an IT university. His parents thought it would be a good fit, as he likes computers and videogames.

He one day decided to quit and took some time off and started working in some fancy hotel kitchen as a temp job, while spending some time away from the family. Fast forward a couple years, he is now in culinary school and wants to become a chef. Needless to say he is happier and visibly has a better mental health as before.

Its just not sustainable for my adult life to log in to whatever live service trash daily and compete agains faceless humans, who have more free time and advantage against a casual player.

Also the state of live service games is pure trash for decades now. Everything needs to be a copy of the 3 most popular titles with some kind of rpg progression and cosmetic items for real world money.

Does it give you multiple options for a route? Like fastest/using least petrol/no tolls, etc?

I am currently using Google maps and waze most of the time and tried Organic maps for a while for a more privacy focused option, but it only gives you one option, no alternatives of similar length/time.

Edit: nevermind, just downloaded it and it does offer alternatives. Looking good as well, will definitely test it, thank you!
