That or setting up a retro gaming sysgem… gathering and scraping roms, setting up a nice frontend with cover art and everything just to never touch it again when it’s done. :)

I stumbled upon Comic Mono myself a while ago and have been meaning to set it up in my IDE’s but haven’t gotten around to it yet. Might just have to though. It looks strangely easy on the eyes. Almoat relaxing somehow? Cant really putn my finger on why however.

I can agree with the fact that fonts feel different depending on your OS. I usually use Source Code Pro and I never got the feeling that it looked quite as good when I went from Linux to Windows after getting a new job.

These days Ubuntu can install the nvidia drivers for you during the install as well if you just click the “install proprietary blabla” so you get a pretty game ready system there as well tbh so I’m starting to feel like a more gaming tweaked version of Ubuntu is a bit redundant?

That’s a surprisingly pleasing font by the way!

I installed Kubuntu… I couldn’t be assed to resize my efi partition to a gig and disrupt windows… Done that in the past with varying results. Wish they didn’t require it to be that big tbh.

I do miss Arch… wouldn’t surprise me if I’ll install it again soon.

Kubuntu works. But where’s the fun in that? :)

It’s like… I installed it, messed with lutris a bit (needed a newer version) and installed Diablo 4, everything works… and now I feel like I’m missing out somehow. :)

Don’t worry!

They’ll quadruple…:)

Oh I’ve tinkered with Gentoo plenty in the past (I still miss OTW if that rings any bells) and no, I really don’t have the patience for it these days. :)

And yeah, I’ll probably end up installing something a bit more fancy soon-ish… for now I plopped Kubuntu 20.04 on there and Diablo IV is downloading as we speak!

You’re really selling it :D

…I looked it up. You’re correct. That… was flashy.

Well that’s what’s fun though isn’t it? :D

I ended up installing Kubuntu 20.04 for now… I was going to install Pop but they require a 1GB EFI partition and I didn’t have the patience to move my Windows partition around to resize it so… Kubuntu it is.

Knowing myself I’ll probably distro hop in a few days again.

Trying out different distros are almost as much fun as actually using them (probably more fun at times!)

It’s pretty nice that linux has gotten far enough that we can have that luxury these days. :)

That’s another one I’ve heard of but never tried. Sounds pretty nice. Rathet Arch-like in a KISS approach l?

Sounds like a sweet setup for controller based gaming!

Yeah, that’s basically what I figured. Plus some bells and whistles in the design department. Might just as well go with *buntu and install drivers then.

I’m currently stuck with a laptop thats creeping towards potato status so it’s a bit hard to upgrade parts of it. :)

I’m happy just being able to run it almost to the ground as it is!

@nlm@beehaw.org avatar

Ok, I want your setup. Can I have it? Please? :)

Sounds pretty nice!

Sure, there are some bad mistakes in there but that site feels like a personal vendetta though.
