I thought it was fun for the first 10minutes when I wasn’t trying to get back to parity with my Windows install lmao. Wore off real fast. Nothing that 3 weeks of crawling the internet and typing in literal gibberish into the terminal can’t fix.
Except for the stuff I haven’t fixed, and band-aided into working. But it’s minor stuff lol.
It’s a double edged sword, because it can be iffy with competitive games, but for those of us not playing comp…it’d be nice to have lol. Cheaters gonna cheat regardless.
I’ve wanted to go back and play Halo: MCC campaigns again, but for whatever reason, MCC doesnt allow dual-input. I have an Azeron I use cause of arthritis, which means I can’t use it, because I have a full second delay between a mouse input and the Azeron input. I could just use a controller, but like…I don’t wanna. Lol.
Maybe I’ll keep messing with it, see if I can figure it out next weekend. You have inspired me. Also, always love seeing these!
That’s what someone suggested to me and got me 90% of the way there. The remaining issue is that, on Windows, I had a virtual cable that took browser audio and added it to the discord input so I could individually control volume, and I cannot find a way to do that. I tried to do virtual cables prior to all of this, and just could not get it to work, frustratingly. But, I had equivalent amounts of issues just getting it set up on Windows in the first place, so I’m not super worried about it.
Now I just use Helvum to map the audio from Firefox into the Discord input, but I have to do it every time I log on, and skipping a song or pausing it kills it and I have to redo it in Helvum again. Minor inconvenience, I just don’t have the will to fix it rn.
Yeah, the only issues I have are virtual mics to filter background noise on Discord. I have a program that does it, but I lose control over playing music as well (I have a solution through Helvum, but I have to do the specific audio paths every boot for Firefox -> Discord, and I can’t individually control the volume. Plus the path dies every time I pause the music).
But it was equally as frustrating to get it set up on windows with virtual cables as it has been to try to get virtual cables to work on Linux, so it’s a push there. Everything else has been basically as easy, give or take some of the learning curves of a new OS, and can be attributed to user error.
Dual boot has been nice. Both work how I want them to, 95% of the time, and if one is giving me issues in the moment, the other is likely to work. I do use Linux wayyy more rn tho.
It’s hard to say that unequivocally; I have family members who’s internet options are HughesNet, where they get data caps and speeds approaching a whopping 1mbps on a good day, 5g coverage that hardly works, or Starlink. Starlink has worked for them leeeaaaguesss better than any other option they have.
Doesn’t change the issues with the company or Elon, though. It just sucks that they are the only currently viable solution.
Yup! He played some CoD and 2k, I think, and I played a game with him called MX Bikes. He was actually pretty damn good at it, even without considering the amputations. He was also featured in a short ESPN doc after winning his regional cornhole championship or something to that effect.
So…I don’t think the guy used prosthetics. I played a few video games online with him, and he did not use prosthetics to play. We played a racing game, which was kinda wild, cause he used controller. Would push it down into his thigh for gas/brake on the triggers, and use his nubs for the buttons/sticks. He was pretty well handy (lol) on his own, getting around and stuff. Idk what he did for driving specifically, but he also had a video of him shooting a gun without prosthetics as well.
All that to say…I don’t think the man had prosthetics lol
It’s Fahrenheit lol. It was a weird day. It was nice in the sun, but the UV index was high, and the wind was gusting like 10-20 most the day, so it was cold in the shade. Hard to find anything that was comfortable.
Also, edit for conversions. It was about 10c out, with the RealFeel of about 4c with the wind
This was actually yesterday, and it was kinda miserable lol. It was like 50 and sunny, but the wind was crazy all day and it felt like it was 40. Today would have been much better, but we didn’t stay for the 3rd day, long drive back home. It was a good time though! This was actually my first one to watch and first time racing one, BMX at least.
BMX race I was at this weekend
I’d assume simpler? My issues have been with setting up software and peripherals, not necessarily with Linux itself, especially when there isn’t official Linux support for those devices. So it shouldn’t really be a knock on Linux, but that’s kinda the point of the comparison; I can do 95% of what I do on Windows with some effort, and then I don’t have to deal with Windows. I’ve still really been enjoying it!
