Nah, lots of train nerds doing train nerd stuff.

Surprisingly little Thomas fan-mods tho.

Railroader. Lots of heavily-modded Railroader.

Isn’t nfs pretty much completely insecure unless you turn on nfs4 with Kerberos? The fact that that is such a pain in the ass is what keeps me from it. It is fine for read-only though.

It’s sort-of true. Write cycles are limited.

However most modern-ish SSDs have a secure-erase command which would allow clearing without actually re-writing each sector from the OS level. It’s also much faster.

There are utilities to do this: hdparm and blkdiscard

That said, there’s little reason to do this.

It’s new. Unstable and updates often.

Are you thinking of some other distribution?

Pop! hasn’t released a new version since 2022 and rarely updates aside from security patches.

Because that’s how people buy them?

Home users want cheap garbage with good graphics for gaming. Business users want consistent reliability at a moderate price. Creators want high res graphics and don’t care what they pay.

Not a 7900 but my 5900 does for sure.

I’m not super-familiar with mod managers in general but my experience has been that they just work with proton more than you might expect. I know for sure that unity mod manager works fine in proton; I use it for railroader.

It means you don’t need to turn on proton for unsupported games the first time you start steam

(or alternatively you won’t be briefly confused why unsupported Windows games don’t launch on a fresh install)

It’s definitely an AMD graphics card crash.

Yes. You could use vlc or even as an iso file just open them as a virtual drive.

CTRL-tilde or CTRL-backtick?

It actually works, without a bunch of insane weird behavior.

Yeah but those extra steps are important ones.

As long as you don’t rely on the UI design matching, it is fine.

I dunno that I’d consider Brave to be “the right thing” but more variety/competition is best!

I’d hold off on Pop! OS for the moment, until they have Cosmic into an updated release.

I say this as a relatively happy user of Pop

They didn’t say, we can only read what they wrote and ask if unsure.

I’m familiar with the speaker brand, but OP is not clear what they mean. Is there software or do they just want to make sure their BT speaker works with Linux? Or are they using some other abbreviation and we are way off base.

I can guess but better to ask.

It is somewhat related, I’m sure installing pyCharm on windows also provides Python. But yeah, not everyone wants to use a plain text editor.
