So now what distro are we running for LTS desktops?
  • Agree, also confused because Debian seemed to get security updates rather frequently when I've used it.

    That's like their whole thing, stable and security updates. I would be curious if there are examples of exploits that weren't patched quickly on Debian stable.

  • I've been buying the few games I play on GOG, so that means I can't sell my CS:GO items anymore.
  • I ran into this after not buying anything new in a while (really don't need new games) If you have anything in your steam wallet from past items being sold, you can use that for the requirement of buying something, look for just a cheap classic, usually they can be $0.99 or so on steam sales. I found that works to get back to being able to trade again

  • Im looking for a book about a girl with a magic eye on an air ship to catch magic only she can see
  • This sounds like a good book to me, really hope you find it again as I know what it's like to vaguely remember some show, movie, or book from years ago and not know what it was called or how to find it again.

    Definitely would love to read it if you find it, that sounds like a great book.

  • What resources helped you step up your home pizza game?
  • Brian Lagerstrom's videos helped me quite a bit, in that he has so many different styles, techniques to use to make various kinds of pizza, from a bar pizza, new York style, Chicago deep dish, Detroit style or sheet pan pizza. He also revisits styles over time as he adjusts his technique or learns new tricks to share to improve the recipes.

    He even has a hack to make pizza dough in the food processor without needing to let it rest overnight, which I've used multiple times when I've wanted pizza but didn't know it until it was almost dinner time (purports to be a 1 hour pizza and it's pretty darn close). The secret there being to use part of a can of beer in the dough instead of water in order to get that yeasty flavor like you would if you did a longer ferment. It's not as light and fluffy as say a 24+hour new York, but it's great in a pinch or when you're too lazy to prep ahead.

  • Linux-compatible multiplayer games to make new friends in? [seeking recommendations]
  • Counter strike 2, released recently and runs on Linux, I can't say that the people you'll meet on that will be that great all the time, but you may be able to meet people there.

    You might also be able to meet people in RuneScape or old school RuneScape, or other MMO type games, usually they have clan features where you can join a group of players.

    Not sure if it's still busy with players but kingdom of loathing also at least used to have players you could chat with live, and could join a clan or something like that in there.

  • Smash burgers on the Big Joe soapstone
  • Usually I think smash burgers like these are preferred because of getting more crispy bits, not because of health concerns.

    The thinner patties get more surface area with the cooking surface which makes more crispy bits

  • Error: VAC unable to verify your game session
  • Had that on Garuda, reboot, restarting steam, even booting into debian didn't fix it. (Debian with totally different user directory and everything)

    Then about a week later I put in a ticket with valve, was told to open a ticket on their GitHub for Linux, and before I could do that, the issue magically resolved itself. Very strange.

  • PSA: When people ask you "What distro should I use?", try pointing them here
  • Just install the DE you want on the distro you want... You aren't limited in your DE by your selected distro, and you can have multiple installed. most of the time you have a drop down when you login that lets you pick your DE.

  • ‘You’re Telling Me in 2023, You Still Have a ’Droid?’ Why Teens Hate Android Phones / A recent survey of teens found that 87% have iPhones, and don’t plan to switch
  • The Fairphone. Fairphone 2 was updated from Android 5 through 10 (5 years on the latest version) Fairphone 3 started at 9 and is currently on Android 13, that's five years, and hasn't had it's last update yet.

    That's two Android phones with at least 5 years on the latest OS, and Fairphone 2 got patch updates until this year, giving it support and updates from 2014 until 2023

  • What distro do you recommend for gaming?
  • I should look into how to do the rollbacks, I've noticed it doing snapshots but haven't needed to do that yet. Still should know before I do need it.

    My worst problem so far was dual booting to Debian and having the efi entry for Garuda disappear and then not being able to get back easily without modifying debian's grub. Not fixable with snapshots but still simple enough for me to fix.

  • What distro do you recommend for gaming?
  • I've used arch for 7-8 years. I'm currently using Garuda for gaming, on year 2 or 3.

    My recommendation is that if arch is working for you just fine, then don't bother switching. I only switched because I had a breakage and it seemed time to switch (only 2 significant breakages in those 7or 8 years)

    If you hadn't started with arch I would in fact recommend Garuda first because the initial setup is much more hands free, start it and install stuff and it just works. Also Garuda comes preconfigured with an AUR setup and installers for that and for the glorious egg roll proton.

    That is all crap you can simply set up yourself on arch, so there's no need for you to switch, if you're fine with the arch and slightly more manual configuration then you're all set with arch and have no real reason to change that.

  • Moving from an electric stovetop to a gas range
  • Yeah, also the efficiency of electric just heating the surface that the pot is directly sitting on probably helps transfer the heat to the pot faster even if it isn't actually getting hotter than gas.

    I'm quite happy with my electric I think the only thing that would be better is if I had an induction burner for when I want it really hot really quick.
