The backward time machine still won’t have arrived…

The steam machine will be about as powerful as your PS5. It’s unfortunate with pricing being where it is.

I always just upgrade my PC piecemeal. The biggest component for you to upgrade first would be your GPU. Even a RTX3060 or a RX6600 would be an improvement over what you have there.

If you went with the AMD option and installed bazzite/linux that would be pretty close to the specs for the upcoming steam machine. You would probably benefit from some of the optimizations Valve will inevitably do for their hardware over the next couple years… That is if you don’t need Windows for anything.

On your CPU you have a ton of options on the AM4 platform and 16GB of ram is still very usable.

Or just see what the actual steam machine does on pricing. But I’m no longer as optimistic about that given what Valve just did with pricing on the steam deck.

All right we just need the rooster. Does even one single lemming have a single shred of swag?

Who am I kidding, I think our team is fucked.

Which member of this gang would you be?

I feel like rooster is their leader, so I probably don’t have the swag to be rooster, though I wish I could be… After careful consideration, I think I’m goat.

That reminds me, if you want a TV experience on YouTube that can also block shorts; I recently discovered “VacuumeTube” for desktop OSes.

But yes, “Enhancer for YouTube” is the only correct answer for the desktop experience.

“Enhancer for YouTube” add-on lets you block shorts on Firefox and Chrome.

The video hasn’t been released yet, they teased it on the wan show last night.

I like Kubuntu, mostly because I’m familiar with Ubuntu and I like KDE. Unfortunately, I had to move back to Windows 10 because of a professional app that I couldn’t get running.

When I was trying to make Kubuntu work. I installed flatpak so I would primarily use apps from flathub. The snaps were actually pretty useful if there were issues with the flatpak and the native binary. I also force installed the official Mozilla Firefox binary which was pretty easy. Personally I didn’t mind having snaps as an option. At least in Kubuntu it was easy to select which version of the package you wanted in the GUI.

Before I realized snaps could be useful I messed around with uninstalling snaps but they don’t make it easy or straightforward. It’s easiest just to ignore them if you don’t like them. Or pick a different distro if that’s a deal breaker for you.

Otherwise Ubuntu had the fewest issues/annoyances of the distros I tried. But maybe I’m just used to Ubuntu having toyed around with it for years.

Damn, I’m not sure I have the stamina for 3 weeks of that.

I held onto jailbreaking till the end. I have a iPhone on iOS 17.0 and TrollStore for permanent sideloaded apps. It’s pretty awesome! There hasn’t been anything like a jailbreak or TrollStore since then. I wish I had bought an iPhone 15 on iOS 17.0 at launch so I could hold onto this as long as possible. Having a lower end iPhone I’ll probably need an upgrade in the next year or so.

You can get a similar experience to TrollStore by paying for an Apple developer account or a third-party signing service that abuses Apple developer accounts. It seems android users may have to do a similar thing in a few years.

As soon as the download notification is gone, the file doesn’t exist anymore.

That seems to be how Android literally works though.

Both the default network mounting options in Gnome and KDE won’t let applications access the network drive. You have to mount using SMB4k or cifutils if you want application access. I’ve not used MacOS in over a decade but that functionality works seamlessly in windows for SMB shares. It’s honestly a minor reason (among others) I went back to windows.
