LoL!!! IRQ 5 DMA 220 for me. Had to manually adjust the jumper on the sound card.
Fucking hell…

Oh yeah! I haven’t tried it out yet. I’ve been testing some distros on VMs (I know, not the best way to test but that’s the best I can do.) It has a patched kernel for gaming and everything. That’s nice.
I’ll give it a shot. :)
Yeah I’ve looked into other distributions. So far Kubuntu fits the bill just fine for me.
I don’t have enough spare time to mess around with troubleshooting issues, so stability is what I’m looking for and the Ubuntu flavors provide just that without being too outdated. And they provide 3rd party drivers out of the box.
I hear Fedora might be a good alternative, but I heard it’s a bit more difficult to find 3rd party support for hardware.
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.
I’m on Kubuntu so still using version 5.x.
The symptoms I got was like when a Windows app crashes and does this “Solitaire” effect. It did that with the mouse pointer and everything else. Windows, taskbars and menus all displayed as outlines only with no icons or decorations inside. It was weird.
Neat! Man I’m learning so much in this thread it’s crazy. Thank you!
No no, I mean if someone downloads an infected pirated game from some shady website. I consider Steam to be very secure.
Ah see I didn’t think of the flatpak aspect. But if you download a game from some shady source and want to run it via flatpak Steam, how would you go about it?
I only use Steam as a regular deb install.
Holy shit! I’m gonna have to sit down to read that one. LoL
Thanks for the detailed comment.
Absolute GOAT of all RPGs without a doubt.
I used PayPal for a little while in the mid 2000’s to pay for stuff online until I found out they could freeze my bank account.
I immediately removed my bank account from PayPal and over time I got a credit card and it was easier to use. I kept it with only my credit card in my account to sometimes but stuff on eBay and that’s the only time I use it
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.

I personally would install that and install something like FVWM95 or Blackbox WM or some other ancien desktop environment.
How about one with the concentration camps in Nazi Germany? That’s always funny. A real classic. /s
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.
I was able to acquire a Jabra Evolve2 85 through my last employer and it’s absolute shit. The sound quality drops to telephone/ AM radio quality when the microphone turns on. Otherwise it’s okay.
Where did you meet those people? Because most of the people I met during university, while doing a software engineering degree, were software engineering students who all used Linux in some way.
I don’t think it’s “Linux” that should be advertised, but Desktop OS distributions in this case.
What’s going to catch people’s eye is going to be the desktop experience, the killer apps that come with it, and why it’s better than Windows or Mac, in which case, it isn’t yet.
It’s getting close, but it’s not there yet.
I’m very skeptical about online cloud-based password managers. I don’t trust that at all. I still prefer to use a local off-line password manager like KeePassXC.
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?
