  • I’m using Bazzite on hardware that is, notoriously Linux unfriendly (nvidia GPU, partitioned SSD…)

    And the only major issue I had was completely self-inflicted: I tried turning on Frame Gen in Cyberpunk and it made it not happy. The game was unplayable.

    The minor issue I had (that was actually OS related) was some color accuracy issues - everything looked washed out on a default install, some googling got me to a small piece of software that I set to launch on login that fixed it, allowing me to set my color saturation how I want.

    Aside from that, it’s been pretty straightforward. I don’t play many multiplayer games, and the one I do (OSRS) is pretty well-supported. The client everyone uses runs well and I was able to install the Jagex Launcher just fine, even if it is unsupported it works fine.

    Bazzite desktop has been the best desktop Linux experience I’ve ever had and I’ll probably stick with it going forward.



  • We measure drugs, pools, and PC temps in metric

    Grams for drugs unless it’s seized by the police, then it’s kilos 😂

    Pools in meters (or yards depending on location)

    And PC temps are always Celsius

    Metric isn’t scary, we just use it for random things and it makes no sense

    We also do alcohol in ml (750ml bottles are standard) unless it’s beer which is usually in 12oz cans.

    Nothing makes sense



  • Like the other commenter said - people recommend them for peace of mind so you don’t have to think about knowing a password for the 2653rd account you set up once and are never using again. It’s the next best thing to just remembering complex passwords.

    I’ve used Dashlane for years, personally, but I know people here will immediately shut that down for not being FOSS. Bitwarden is FOSS but requires some technical setup and has no redundancy.

    Don’t get me wrong, I love self-hosting as much as the rest of us but I’m not trusting my server from 2013 with all my passwords to everything.









  • I was in a similar situation, but as the boyfriend at the time

    I’d driven 1.5hr away to see my then girlfriend at college. We went out for groceries and were just pulling into her campus, making a left on a yellow when a cyclist went straight on a yellow. She flipped over the hood of my car and broke her collarbone.

    I’d almost come to a complete stop when the actual collision happened but was still on the hook for the fines and license points for failing to yield.

    The girl I hit didn’t press charges or anything. And as far as I’m aware she’s doing ok.

    Despite the trauma, I kept driving out of necessity, I had to get 80+ miles home somehow and I definitely wasn’t going to Uber from there.

    Now we got married, and we both have long commutes for our jobs (in opposite directions unfortunately, we just moved to a more central spot for it) and our jobs require travel between multiple locations throughout the day.

    Quitting driving would’ve kept us from job opportunities that allow us to have the lifestyle we live today.

    I don’t think you’re overreacting, but imo you shouldn’t let something like that define your adult life. Accidents happen, and this was probably the best-cass scenario in your case.
