All those “active listening” skills to trick people into thinking you’re paying attention or care. Lol

Does it get any holier than practicing combat against the forces of hell? Lol

I’m running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and finally completely dumped Win10 as it was BSODing itself apart during games anyway.

Constantly impressed with how many games “just work”, and not even just with Steam. Heroic for GoG stuff, Lutris, Bottles for classics I still got on disc…it’s awesome!

But you mentioned Windows Only VR and I got all excited…except I’ve got a Samsung Odyssey+ (WMR) and realized Monado is the only hope of it not being an expensive blackbox brick. :(

Do people also ask you if it’s Pingu or something from club penguin?

I also get asked if he’s like, a hockey team mascot or something. (I have a Tux patch on my hat haha)

I would say “… Definitely into a sandbox” except that might dry out the bread even more. :(

Do they at least have a fun shiny mid-2000’s GUI and sweet chiptunes??

I’ve mostly heard it from musicians on various distro forums and such for some reason. You’re right, there’s JACK, and low latency versions of kernels and all sorts of other stuff. (LMMS is more than fine for my experience level lol)

Mainly I think it’s because a lot of the fancy paid DAWs or plugins boil down to Windows, but I’m not an experienced musician myself to really know what their exact complaints are.

I think it still might just be FUD generated by frustrated people, because sometimes you gotta do a little more than “unzip and run” for a lot of plugins.

Elsewhere in the thread people say he’s an “audio guy”, so that’s actually kinda neat if he’s going to Linux.

We’ve made progress on the Linux gaming front, now we need to dispell “Y’but you can’t use Linux if you’re into sound.” :)

Okay, a suspicious thanks to you, Microsoft…

…So when can we get this treatment for WMR so all our VR headsets don’t become useless bricks kthaaaanks!

I…I kinda unironically like the spirit behind this in a serious way.

I know things like safety codes and such would need a solution for sure, but a fixable kit car as a response to Tesla’s black-box-appliance-cars would be really freakin excellent right about now.

For real.

“Punish”? See how they react when they boot into TempleOS.

Oh, only Linux? There’s always Hannah Montana or North Korea Linux…but that’d be giving a foreign dictatorship a botnet node…

In which case I was gonna say “Well an NSA-friendly OS would be funny” but then we’re just back to Windows!
