  • I understand, while that can happen with some individuals, it’s not true for the vast majority of people.

    I too rather go without this shitty system, but that’s not how it goes unfortunately, got denied a house financing twice because of the low score (got some debts a década ago and the score never went back up), I managed to use a friend’s name for financing, then later I transfered it to my name, many loops and roundabouts.








  • Nothing of the sort, just said it based on the general usage, for all the flaws it had, It was, undeniably a very popular and used piece of software.

    At the time of its peak, it was not universally bashed against like Windows ME, 8 or Vista. It was well received like windows 95, 7 and10



  • Is there any good alternative to FF that is cross device compatible and keep my sessions between said devices, but without me having to press anything more than “Install” or to type “apt-get install firefox”?

    I hear a lot of these newer open source friendly browser, but switching between my pc/notebook/phone/tablet, is a requirement. I’d love to find something that fit that so I could switch.





  • Well, I work with devops, so I am well aware of some of the benefits and limitations of VMs, and I also tried proton. But I’ve run in tons of issues when running older games that I like, specially mmos like Ragnarock Online, Perfect World, Prison Tale. They have lots of compatibility issues with the VM, even with windows 10 for that matter, which is a little easier to circumvent.

    About performance, things like baldurs gate 3 and cyberpunk 77 that I like, have like 20 to 25 less frames on proton, to add salt to injury bg3 crashes a lot.

    Your second paragraph tells me you haven’t even tried because the first part is just checking a checkbox in the steam

    Please don’t assume thinga on the internet, steam accounts for a quarter of my time spent on games.

    I’m not here to say which one is better, just saying that bashing a completely fine option is, at least, dumb.

    ^(edit: typo)


  • I see some comments trashing dual boot, I really don’t understand why. I have really nice setup with Debian 12 and Windows 10. Boot pc, get to work on Linux, and other projects after. When I’m done and want to game a bit I switch to windows.

    I have no need to setup funky VMs to bypass games made strictly for windows, and also don’t have performance limitations.

    Just use the right tool for the right job folks.
