At a minimum for sure. 666 is an incredibly high ask.

I loved the options it came with. But that price tag was the real gimmick. So fucking overpriced.

Boo you whore.

Glad I have a PC. Again.

You’ve done no such thing. You’ve been sitting here licking corpo boot. No sources or valid points just flippant dismissals, anecdotal musings, and bitching that no one is paying attention to what you are saying. You are way off base in this back and forth with them.

Right on, I’ll have to check out proxmox, i don’t have any experience with it yet. That’d be dope to switch at least one computer over to something linix based.

Yeah I know OneDrive is a bad option anymore. I’m definitely looking for options there but nothing is coming close so far. Hardest part is space but each requirement presents an issue.

Thanks for telling me about openoffice, looking at things i think i meamt Only Office. Any opinions there? I’m not keen on the AI push but it also seems optional. Thanks for the positive endorsement for Libre being compatible in an office setting. Looks like they have a good dark mode too which I’m very happy about. I love having a black background to write against and has stopped me from adopting things in the past. I can’t do white backed apps anymore. They hurt lol

The hosting is on my old desktop which is running server 2016. I’d like to replace the OS on it too. I don’t keep the box online so I’m not keen on using it for anything other than game servers.

Appreciate you not going aggro on me over it. Lots of times I mention not being quite there for migrating it gets into this really aggravating back and forth where someone aggressively pushes Linux at me and doesn’t like that I’m not instantly on board or that I have reasons they don’t like. 🙄

I don’t want to get into a big debate on it so if you are just curious and have a couple suggestions I’m down to talk about it. But I’m tired of people telling me that my reasoning isn’t good enough for them. Like, great, thanks, glad you can be happy with it, but we aren’t the same person. So I’d prefer to avoid any conversation where I’m just told to suck it up and deal with something. I am working on finding alternatives but all the ones I’ve come across so far are coming up short in a way that’s non negotiable.

My biggest one is my O365 bundle with office apps, oneNote, and OneDrive.

I am going to be trying out libreoffice and OpenOffice this year to see if I can replace word and excel. Last time I tried they weren’t there for me.

OneNote is my second most vital. I’m looking at Notesnook at the moment but I’m really not enthused by a monthly price or the idea of self-hosting in a docker container. I’ve hated most note apps and OneNote was the only one I’ve clicked with so far. I refuse to touch markdown so that kills a lot of them. I’m taking notes with minor edits, and I refuse to add markdown to the process just to do that. I also will not be ok with a webapp. I don’t like webapps in general.

OneDrive is probably my most vital. I have 1TB for me and 1TB each for 5 family accounts. So 6TB total. And I definitely use the space. On top of that I rely heavily on its integration to the file explorer and the mfa locked personal vault section. I don’t want to deal with a web interface or separate app, outside of an authentication hook for the vault, just to access storage.

Outside of the 365 bundle, it’s mostly running dedicated game servers that have no Linux option. And that’s it I believe. Certainly the most impactful applications. I think most other things I run, I can find acceptable alternatives to or can run in wine or something similar without major issue.

It’s tricky because I have things that just don’t translate well to linux, or become considerably more expensive or time consuming to manage / deal with. Linux has a lot to offer and a lot of great. But I’m just going to keep running an out of date OS until I can switch.

Sounds like Blame! which is one of my favorite graphic novels

Yup! I thought it was a really fun game. I didn’t play the original so I cannot comment on adherence to the source. But as a standalone game I really enjoyed my time with it.

Guess not. I really liked the remake of the first game. Was a lot of fun.

There is a SS1 remake. I really enjoyed it.

Holding all judgement till reviews. 1+2 were awesome. 3 was a definite low point and then it explored new and exciting depths of the brightest dumpster fire with that abortion of a “movie”.

Lol assuming this is an honest question, or answering for those that are truly wondering, 18650 is a type of battery, not the count. Like AA, AAA, etc.

This game was published before that oct 7 issue. It’s not related.

Well, That’s where I’ve been checking. So at least I’m not messing that up.I just keep getting a pic of a suprised dude holding a bitten piece of fried chicken leg. I just popped into the discord and they’re only mentioning the digital versions so far so maybe physical isn’t opened yet?

Nvm, missed the window. Looks like there are still places to get it though.

Where’d you preorder? I kept waiting for it to be available.

I keep waiting for the ultimate edition to become available for purchase. Wouldn’t miss out on Stalker for anything. Russia can go fuck itself. I am sorry trump won here in the us and we may not be helping as a country anymore. I contributed in a few ways over the years but I wish I could do more than I have. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

Doubtful. But that could let it be an r rated or high pg13 option.

If you want a similar fun word game, I really enjoy Quordle. Its 4 wordle at the same time.

Lol as long as it’s peaceful until the end that sounds fine.

Gonna get shot for this but i really like outlook.

Lol stardew vally in doom clothing killed me. Quite the write up but all I can really say is an unhelpful “everyone likes different stuff”. i like twitch and boomer shooters. I had to wait ages for them to come around again. I had to wade through slow shooters like halo, milshooters, milsims, coverbased shooters, and other stuff that I genuinely don’t enjoy as much until the type I liked most started to resurface with Doom 2016 and the now regrettably named “boomer shooters”. Fast, arcadey, dark themed, with health and ammo drops. I’m not big on some of them but overall I’m in an oasis compared to the drought I endured.

My best advice is patience for it to come around again or to make it yourself if you don’t want to wait.

Sure thing, if I were in front of my pc I’d have given you more precise instructions but yeah I was elated when I found that setting as I don’t enjoy livestreams even if it’s not a spoiler.

Bullshit. This shit isn’t a bug. It was purposeful as a test to reception and to desensitize people

That’s dystopian nightmare shit. Never buying a smart tv. Fuck having the nicest thing if that’s what it takes to deal with

They saw the cans as a challenge and are inching closer and closer to see where the cutoff for bullshit is.

If you are taking about the storefront you can disable that completely in your options.

Please drink verification can to unpause.

I mean I’m sure it’s anyone not satisfied with the built in app

Excellent improvement , very nice. Good luck with the rest!!

I want to start a fanfic rumor that Ron is related to Ricky from Trailer Park Boys. Lol

Definitely option 3 listed below.

That’s a great breakdown of it. Thanks for taking the time to lay it all out.

It’s geekbench though…unless things have changed that’s a garbage benchmark. Glad A18 is doing well, but it doesn’t compete with the laptop/desktop space. If it did, they wouldn’t bother making the M series.

I loved my XZ premium . Would still use it if it hadn’t come down with an unfixable charging issue.

Any chance I could get in on the beta? I have some health concerns that has docs telling me I need to go for walks and I’ve had a hard time staying focused on it. (Applied in the portal )

Edit: if it doesn’t happen, hopefully it is released soon. Also http://walkscape.app/home gives a 404. Removing the home seems to work out fine though

Nice, I’ll have to look those up for him. I keep trying to talk him into trying again.

I have a friend who stopped for a whole other reason. But I can’t talk about it without revealing too much. But basically had to do with bramble and deep, things that don’t bother most people much, triggering some actual phobias.

Dammit. I didn’t think of them. I’m so heartless.
