I get what you meant, I was just making a little joke, though I feel like there’s a huge difference between shitty ui that can’t be bypassed and reasonable ui that still can’t be bypassed. The latter is usually managable and tolerable.
I personally prefer having both options but in general I go with a UI.
otherwise you end up with windows
Windows without the garbage? I’m okay with that.
Have seen similar comments on that specifically on mint before, does mint have a particular problem with it? I used timeshift to restore manjaro a couple of times and it was very confusing but I assumed it was just me.
Thanks, I have my important files manually backed up every now and then on two different drives in my desktop, this idea is part of moving away from stressing so much and I’m probably going to abandon the raid idea for the near future and instead do scheduled backups (and maybe checkups?). I’ll keep in mind all that stuff about temps too when I do get an oportunity to make a suitable raid array build (without individual usb controllers between the drives and the server).
I have checked my data recently, haven’t found any issues. I appreciate all the info and help!
Didn’t know about this, it is at 8 GB of ddr3, couldn’t find a bigger stick and it doesn’t have more than one slot. I’m updating the post to address other responses. Thanks
Haha I see what you mean, I meant as in changing from one to another, not using snail drives for a swap partition.
I did test it on manjaro kde, not exactly the same, last test run seemed fine in everything but some games and having to select the game each time on obs, I was actually preferring it over x11 if not for some problems
You’re inserting blame on Wayland that wasn’t there.
I am yet to have a successful testrun of wayland, closest I’ve had was everything seemed to work fine but some games would straight up not work. I’m sure it would be just fine if I installed a distro that had it by default but at that point it’s way beyond the convenience I’ve heard so much about.
They don’t know that, if they sell cheap enough it might be worth it for a random office somewhere to order a hundred and use them as work computers with no intention to ever buy a game in them. Also they aren’t going to be locked, nothing prevents you from getting one and run games purchased in every market under the sun that isn’t steam (and/or pirated games).
I don’t think they have any certainty that they’ll even make decent money on them. I am hopeful that this will be good for everyone but can’t exactly see how at the moment.
It’s no the prettiest out there but it’s not ugly at all, there’s no place for violence since you don’t even see any other character outside of emails
What age range? I’ve seen “house flipper” give great results, I think in general those simulator games that give the dopamine hit of completing tasks are good incentives, especially chill games (nothing time based, let them take their time). I’ve found something like “a little to the left” is not actually great for that, it requires precision and an eye for pattern recognition that just causes frustration when you think you got it but nothing happens.
The only one of those that I’ve tried is cyberpunk, but besides being a really good and fun game for what you’re looking for, I want to add that I found it easy to get off or back on, which you might want
