After catching up to this newfangled recall controversy, it's some pretty harrowing stuff that makes me NOT wanna go from Windows 10 at all.

So the big question is, will this be the nail in the bill gates coffin of people adopting mainstream distros of Linux like Mint and Ubuntu? It might not jive with the "normie" folks who just use it for browsing etc, but more online orientated people like you and I.

I am surprised with this security worry hasn't made people advertise Linux more publicly to the mainstream.

And lastly, MS surely is going to backstop on this right? Between the Xbox fiasco and this, its just damaging their PR optics even further.

What do you think? Will it actually push the Linux train wagon? Will Microsoft just continue this fat mess anyway?

I am probably going to get hate for this, but I don't think too highly of this console.

Sure, some of the games at the time were astonishing and well regarded classics, but man oh man do I dislike the controller, it just feels so... alien to hold you know?

Another thing too, the cartridge format whilst snappy, suffered from making too many cutbacks compared to the disc format of PS1 and Saturn which gave you pretty much the full scoop.

I am sure Nintnedo had their reasons at the time, but to me it was almost like it was a death by a thousand cuts scenario, a really powerful machine let down by not using what is literally the next gen medium at the time.

Let me know your thoughts, it is fine to disagree as the console is well respected with both nostalgia and entertainment, I'm just an outlier here.

This is me cat, Pepper.

He is a good lad, top class kitty with a penchant for chicken.

Waltzed in here and sat down there where you see in the picture, thought I should snap a photo of this whiskered gentleman.

The fact that you get a full OS for free, customizable and no crappy forced in features that you don't want is amazing.

I can stress enough that my experience with Linux has been resoundingly positive, it's almost like that finnish bill gates guy made a golden goose of an OS.

Ever since I upgraded my WiFi to pcie and moved to Fedora, it has been nothing but smooth sailing.

• AMD GPU just works, no fussing about, get straight to fragging on Xonotic and Counter Strike

•Customize Fedora to my liking, made it more like windows with the extensions provided

• What's this? A software app store? Swell! I no longer need to download stuff off from dodgy sites or numbingly installing everything manually!

• The mascot of Linux? 10/10 and penguins are one of my 2nd favourite animals

How was your experience with this Unix-like wonder? In a home user manner and/or a business use manner?

Let me know!

VLC is the supreme of all open source projects, you used it in school, college, work and home.

I used it since I was a child and it has never failed on me. It didn't matter what type of file you chucked at it, it would run it.

Do you disagree or agree with VLC being the best media player? What are your thoughts?

So like, if sand can be used as the first "ingredient" of a CPU, is it possible to use other variants of sand? Or is there only a very SPECIFIC kind of sand used for CPU creation?

So you can't use fine sand from the beaches of a tropical island or black sand in Iceland?

Sorry if this is dumb, I thought it'd be humorous if you can use any sand as the first resource for building a CPU since they literally come from that source.

I am very curious as to how databases are used in the real world, whether you're using MySQL and what not, how does it all come together in a real world business? Banking and gaming I know, but is it something that gets stored on data centres and then put into a VM?

I might be overcomplexing this but I understand the good use cases with VMs and containers etc just not with databases.

I'd google, but I'd like a ELI5 due to my smooth brain with these concepts, thank you.

My favourite DE has got to be Cinnamon, as much as I like KDE and XFCE, I prefer the simplicity of cinnamon where as in KDE has a bit too much of everything in the customization scene and XFCE I find a little tricky to get tiling working right.

Cinnamon to me is perfect as I easily transferred from Win 10 to Mint and soon Manjaro Cinnamon Edition.

What is your favourite DE and why? Tiling WM DE's can be counted as well seeing as they have nifty navigation features.

So I've been thinking, the DOOM game code was made available openly and if I am not mistaken, was based off the linux version.

Is it right to say that's why DOOM got incredibly popular with the "It can run on anything i.e a cash machine"

I say this because we all know Linux is a rock solid and efficient system compared to the bloat of Windows.

If anyone can enlighten me, This is pretty much why you can find DooM on almost any platform BECAUSE of its Linux code port roots?

Consider me a nutcase but I genuinely thought this was the case.

What are your favourite shoot em or run and gun games?

I've always enjoyed playing games such as Gunbird and Metal Slug, both were on PS2 for me as my only proper exposure to those games. Really loved them!

What are your favourites? Any recommendations?

Dangerous opinion, I've recently moved to Fedora after Ubuntu and after customising it on the GNOME desktop, it's literally Ubuntu (But better) in every way except no snaps.

Personally as someone who got the ground running using Ubuntu as my 1st Linux distro, fedora is a comfortable transfer and I really like their spins.

Sure DNF can be slow but you can fix that and sure redhat can be a little... difficult with their decisions.

What do you think of Fedora? So far I enjoy the stability combined with near-arch levels of getting new updates!

The best controller I arguably thing is the 360 controller. It just feels right to use in fighting games and fps. I like xboxs layout with the analog sticks.

Dualshock comes a close 2nd but was never a fan of the analog layout.

I find the n64 most jarring and I get that it was meant to be used differently for different games, but I still preferred the 3rd party options that took it closer to a standard gamepad.

Your thoughts?
