The last thing libs want is Trump being assassinated. That would be an easy way to get a lot of sympathy votes for the republicans.

Scott: It's just a simple ring. You just put it on and you get a lot of power and get to be invisible.

Toby: Isn't it very similar to Sauron's one ring to rule them all

Scott: Can you just shut up?

I was discussing this a few months back; an immutable fs is way more secure for gaming compared to Windows.

I have a question for you, coming from a long time Linux user. How do you decide which car to buy? There are so many options, each have their own mileage, comfort, capabilities. Would you say it's difficult buying a car?

Hi! Copilot has detected informal language in your response. Are you stressed by any chance? I have scheduled a priority meeting with your allocated HR during your lunch break to sort things out. Please let me know if you need anything else. Happy coding!

I got this card for free so didn't really have a choice. My next purchase will highly be an AMD GPU, unless Nvidia does some magic (which I highly doubt)

Makes sense. I am using Bazzite, and while it uses Wayland by default, I saw that some games refuse to run on Wayland (F.E.A.R 2 in my case). So I just went back to X11.

I want to like Wayland but it's making it difficult for me. Oh, I am using Nvidia, so that could be a reason as well.

I'll be honest with you guys. I thought vim navigation in a browser is just a gimmick and clunky. But the more I used it, the more I fell in love with it. I find it hard to use a browser without vim. Simple actions like searching and navigating (inside the page and across tabs) is a breeze. If you are vim user, you should definitely try it.

How to get good at FPS with a controller, coming from a PC gamer? (lemm.ee)

submitted 2 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

38 comments fedilink

I have been a PC gamer for the majority of my life. But before that, i was a console player on the NES. But NES mainly had platformers, and no 3d games. So i am not used to movement and camera controls simultaneously at all.

I have purchased a Steam Deck OLED and it's phenomenal at playing platformers and twin stick top down games. However, i am absolutely sucking at FPS games on it. Can't make shots on the controller which are like muscle memory on my PC. I'm also having a slightly hard time on 3rd person over the shoulder games (not as bad as FPS though). It's probably because of my age (30+) I guess.

My question is that is there a way to improve other than 'git gud'? Example, is there an easy FPS game where I don't have to move or shoot too fast? Or a sample controller exercise game, like we have AimLabs for mouse movement.

Thanks.

Should I switch from the older OEM kernel to the newer generic kernel? (lemm.ee)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

8 comments fedilink

I am using a Dell Latitude 3420 (Ubuntu 22.04.3) and it uses a slightly older OEM kernel 5.14.0-1048-oem. The generic kernels keep getting upgraded but are never used. The current generic that I have is 6.2.0-26-generic and 5.15.0-79-generic.

So I have 2 questions

Should I leave the kernel as it is? Some threads online say it's better to leave it as it is as an OEM kernel is better for Ubuntu-certified laptops
If I should change the kernel, what would be the best way? I don't want to hard-code the kernel version.
- If I have issues in the latest generic kernel, I should be able to roll-back to the OEM kernel.
