As a first time Linux user pretty much what should I use for gaming. in c/[email protected]

I’ll second Pop!_OS! Been using it as a daily driver since 2022 and have had a painless gaming experience the past year or so using lutris (league) and steam.

I use an Amd cpu and a nvidia gpu, if that helps at all.

I've found that being direct, but polite works well enough.

"Not to be rude, but I have to get this task done ASAP. Can we pick this up at another time? Thank you."

You make every day brighter with your presence.
I love you.
Please don't lick your junk within earshot. It sounds gross.

The 61W battery helps a bit. If I'm compiling binaries locally all day, it certainly tanks.

I think the fix for the phantom drain came with the newest refresh (gen 3); I don't notice a rapid drain when I sleep mine, though because I use the 'deep sleep' workaround.

I have been using a Framework 13 (12th gen intel) since April and I love it. The only complaint is the battery life (5-8 hours of software development with JetBrains IDEs), but in terms of hardware performance, it's fantastic.

I have an apartment where the dumpster is a car's drive away, and taking trash down involves 4 staircases. What is the best way to ameliorate this situation? in c/nostupidquestions

Making more frequent, smaller trips might make it less of a pain? Maybe stop by the dumpster if it's on the way to/from a daily route you need to take?

How to prevent cats from shitting on my lawn?!? in c/[email protected]

[–] derrg 9 points 9 months ago

Find the owner and tell them the cat is shitting on your property. If they tell you to pound sand, call city/county animal control to see what your options are. Alternatively, pick the shit up before your robot lawnmower runs it over.
