This is a tough one for me. I'm pro-privacy, but I'm also pro-sane driving habits.

EDIT: Thanks for the replies and some constructive DMs. You brought up a lot of things I needed to consider that my lighthearted comment and thoughts behind it ignored. Privacy is and should be a fundamental right. This comes before the right to drive aggressively or defensively. Privacy should be non-negotiable.

I'm going to leave this comment up because I believe it is a teachable moment. I have reevaluated my position, and I am wrong. Thanks for the thoughtful replies.

Debian patching 32-bit builds to handle dates beyond 2038 in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Didn't we learn our lesson 24 years ago with Y2K!?

EDIT: To be clear, I was being facetious. I remember my parents and father freaking out about this when I was in middle school. I would have thought we got this taken care of permanently already

Usually I expect to have to troubleshoot problems with Linux in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

Totally 100% prefer distro or distro family + problem to anything in MS forums. My problem solving literacy has improved so much just by getting smart on terminal commands. I am by no means a pro and have a long way to go before I would consider myself even moderately proficient, but goddamn is the terminal satisfying.

Usually I expect to have to troubleshoot problems with Linux (lemmy.ml)
 

I've been daily driving Pop!_OS for about two years. I've had to troubleshoot and look up how to solve problems here and there, but it has largely been pain free. About eight months ago I had to dual boot Windows 10 because my wife wanted to play Hogwarts and for the life of me I couldn't get Linux to stream to the client connected to the Xbox controller and TV upstairs.

Well, today she goes to boot up the game, and the lag is beyond terrible. None of the settings I try change anything, and even trying Sunshine/moonlight instead of Steam Link is only a bit better. I decided to try booting the game in Linux, and lo and behold, the game is once again liquid smooth via Steam Link client, and whatever issues I ran into 8 months ago are gone.

I'm not used to Windows being the OS I have issues with.

Best Linux distro for gaming on a crappy integrated graphics old PC? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

In that case, Pop!_OS might be a good option to try. It's built on Ubuntu and doesn't have snapd garbage on it. I've been using it as a daily driver for 2 years now and I've had zero problems.

Star Wars 5e - 5e rules with the options and customization I remember 3.5 having (sw5e.com)
 

While there is some stuff I feel is just vanilla DnD 5e re-skinned, there is a lot of new content and customizability and prestige classes. There is also a GitHub repo with a FoundryVTT module that contains the same content. I've been running a campaign for the last three and a half years and highly recommend it.

It's because of shit like this that I'm glad I switched to Linux.
