Do you think it’s worth getting a Sound Blaster card today? I’ve read you can get better sound effects in game. Can’t the on board audio chips do that now?

LoL!!! IRQ 5 DMA 220 for me. Had to manually adjust the jumper on the sound card.
Fucking hell…
#5 or #9.
Stanley would be quiet the whole flight as would Toby I’m sure.
I’ve been running Linux on Nvidia graphics for 24 years. It’s never been an issue.
One coffee in the morning, a cup of strong tea in the early afternoon and herbal in the evening.
Someone described to me in detail how your computer resolves hostnames.

Probably because of your DNS configuration?
Thanks for the great explanation
Huh. I guess I didn’t fully understand how DNS works.
My understanding was that DNS servers propagated their listing to other DNS servers and you just had to point your computer to the one you want and it would just query that one. And if a URL can’t be found, then it’s probably because
A) it doesn’t exist
B) it exists but hasn’t been fully propagated yet
C) the DNS server listing is outdated
Man, I’ve been using the internet since 1994. Back then I started with CompuServe. Think like AOL but more beige. It had an instant messaging system and email and a portal with various pages on different topics. But you could also use a browser, like Mosaic or Netscape, to browse the internet. I used Alta Vista and Excite and Yahoo as search engines. There were also personal website that people wrote in basic HTML and hosted on Geocities and communities on specific topics would create webrings to link these sites together. We also used apps like Gopher and Usenet Newsgroups.
And before that it was BBS, bulletin board services, which were computers managed by strangers and you would just call them with your phone line modem using a terminal software and their system would pick up and establish a connection if it was available. You could access messages, emails, upload or download files, and some have you access to the internet if you were lucky.
Same in Canada.

Suddenly I really want to take my car and drive away.
Technically, Ubuntu supports it’s LTS versions for something like 12 years I think?
Anyway, you can get Ubuntu 14.04 LTS still with the i386 32bit ISO.
https://www.releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/
I personally would install that and install something like FVWM95 or Blackbox WM or some other ancien desktop environment.
That’s what I came here to say.
Just send them to JustWatch.
Probably pay for whatever activity I can afford with 15$ to spend time with my partner. Love her to bits and enjoy every minute I spend with her.
Oh I’ve been using Linux for over 20 years. That’s not an issue.
I have a better idea now of what an immutable distro is thanks to your explanation. I don’t know if that’s what I would want after all.
I think I prefer the freedom of being able to modify my system files and configs as I need to customize my system as I see fit, even if it meansb potentially breaking something.
What parts of the immutable OS are read only? Like filesystem wise? I’m not sure I really get it.
That seems like a solid OS. It’s there an Ubuntu based variant?
I’m sure I could just ask him to stop and he would. He doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would impose himself.
