This. One thing Linux is about is personal freedom.

“Better supported” is an understatement. AMD on Linux requires no handling of drivers whatsoever, so far as the user is concerned.

I’ve been playing from the couch for a few years now.

I’ve got a DS4 and DualSense which I use via Bluetooth for games with support. Most times I’ll have Xbox controller icons, but I don’t care about that.

I have a Steam Controller that I use for most things that don’t have support, especially strategy games. That right pad is a beautiful mouse replacement. It’s also fantastic for couch flight simming since you can use the grip buttons to change action sets.

Of course I have a wireless keyboard and mouse, but I find myself using them for gaming very, very rarely.

I’ve been on Pop with the Liquorix kernel for a couple of years, but I’m in the process of switching over to Arch.

Like when you’re standing amongst some peers in front of a firing squad filled with fascist bootlickers.

(/s… Shit’s weird)

I’d say it’s more about following the money. Most of Republican politics are actually about padding the pockets of those already rich. The crazy part is the culture war they also run to keep some of the poorest on their side.

Came here to say this. I use mine almost every day, specifically for titles that don’t have controller support.

While I do prefer a twin-stick like the DualSense for games with support, you cannot at all beat a Steam Controller for strategy gaming from the couch. I’m still on my first, but have two as backup (it was limit 2 when Valve offloaded them for $5 each).

Quelle surprise

I’m on my first all-AMD system in years (7600x) and could not be happier. Performance is fantastic. Good enough that I mostly leave it in Eco mode, since I’m also using an air cooler for it.

Not that it is directly CPU-relataed, but my gaming rig runs Linux, which is something I never thought would be a thing, and to that end: if you are running Linux, extra points for AMD on the GPU front, since the drivers are in the kernel.

We all do, Joe. That doesn’t really change anything.

Event happens.

Internet floods with conspiracies about Event.

News reports that there are conspiracies about Event.

Rinse and repeat. “Event” can be virtually anything of public note.

The problem with that isn’t Bernie. The problem is Trump. Bernie splitting the Dem vote is a more sure-fire way to get Trump than Biden running as it is.

Remember when a huge coalition of people wanted RBG to retire? And then she didn’t, and those people took it as courage or some such other virtue?

Aha, I didn’t know that. Thanks for the explanation! I’m going to edit my comment above to point to it.

Ad supported = not free. Please better understand the world you live in.

I’m a bit confused. Do deaf people listen to music? Lyrics are generally freely available via Google.

Edit: see reply for a good explanation.

some people here on Lemmy get upset at any mention of Ranked Choice Voting and respond that, in their opinion, it’s not perfect

To those people, I say: do not let perfection be the enemy of progress.

Also, it’s absurd, because it’s clearly better than what we have now. I suspect many of those people are trolls.

I’d love to see parents flabbergasted by their children refusing the shellfish daddy worked hard to buy, and making sure their clothes don’t use mixed fabrics.

I’ve been using one of these 4U server chassis. Of course it is in a rack with some other equipment. I’ve been quite happy with it; lots of space.

I thought Biden did alright

He just didn’t. In any other previous cycle, it would not have been considered acceptable. The bar has gotten very low.

Biden looked senile, and Trump looked like regular, crazy Trump. The senility will do more for voters than Trump being Trump.
