My wifes old laptop died and I got an ancient gaming laptop from a colleague and put Linux Mint on it. It works great.

She uses it for studying and some light gaming (Stardew Valley). It just works. She never used Linux before but had zero issues using it and she even said its just like Windows, just faster.

No idea, also not my ideal preference, but he seem to like it, while he was miserable with the IT school.

Very true, more people should follow their dreams.

I know a guy who was kind of forced into an IT university. His parents thought it would be a good fit, as he likes computers and videogames.

He one day decided to quit and took some time off and started working in some fancy hotel kitchen as a temp job, while spending some time away from the family. Fast forward a couple years, he is now in culinary school and wants to become a chef. Needless to say he is happier and visibly has a better mental health as before.

Nebraska will have the best pizza. It’s-a great news!

I agree, someone should have highlighted it, this is just confusing.

Smoking, drinking and gambling never ends well. Stay away from addictions.

Don’t try to proof how manly you are to your friends/girls. It rarely pays off. Its ok to have a veggie dish at the restaurant instead of a bloody steak. Its ok to not speed with your car to look cool. Its ok to wear whatever the fuck you want as long as you like it, it fits well and its practical for you. Do what you like and be proud of it.

Always save time for your hobbies. Growing up doesn’t means you can’t have fun. If you are in a relationship make sure your partner gives you enough space and time for yourself.

In total?

What is all this insolence? You will find yourself in gladiator school vewy quickly with wotten behavior like that.

Not sure what answers you looking for, if you want to have a carefree vacation just read some reviews of specific countries and regions.

If you are backpacking or planning a multi-country trip I would check the crime rates of the places, there are many websites with the statistics available, like THIS

As a general rule of thumb popular places and big cities will have the highest crime rates, while smaller cities and countryside the lowest.

Also I would avoid solo trips and backpacking in general in the rural parts of less-developed countries, like Romania, etc.

Pretty much thats it. Europe as a whole is probably one of the safest travel destinations in the earth with some planning and common sense.

2 years ago I would say PCs over laptops, owned a couple of gaming laptops and always ended up going back to desktops. Still have a decent, but relatively old desktop PC. Lots of gaming laptops generate a brutal amount of heat, so gaming in bed or holding the machine in your lap is not very comfortable. At the end you just sit at a desk plugged in, same as a regular PC. The only positive of a laptop is if you traveling a lot and want to play high end games it makes it possible.

However today I would go with the third option: handheld gaming PC. The Steam Deck absolutely changed my life how I game. I am finishing more games, I can play literally anywhere, anytime and its just so damn convenient. Sure, there are compromises, its not for everyone and AAA and multiplayer gaming is not really ideal, but neither of them interests me. For everyday PC stuff you need a docking station and connect up all peripherals to use them as a workstation, again not ideal but they all work as a full fledged PC as well.

Again, probably not everyones cup of tea, but it just suits me so damn well. Last year I did over 90% of gaming on handheld.

Also since the success of Steam Deck the competition is catching up fast and almost monthly someone releases a new handheld gaming PC so there are many options to choose from.

As soon as I find the time will do the same thing. Congrats!

My aunts FB comments. My whole life I thought she was a lovely sweet lady, who was always super nice to me… Then I saw some years later she told somone else in the comment section should kill himself. Simple reason: the other person had different political views. It turns out she is a hardcore racist with very fascist world view and she is super proud of it.

I am not on FB for a very long time and I didn’t talk to her for 10+ years but I think it is for the best.

Seether - Careless Whisper

Deus Ex is the 1984 of videogames.

I collect decks of cards from different countries/places. Usually if someone from my family/friend circle travels just buys me one at the airport of that country, but I also have a few special ones, like the Norwegian Ice Hotel, or a spicy sexy one from Greece.

It started randomly, I realized that I have 3-4 decks from random places and that was it, I became a collector.

It’s infuriating to read all the comments without explanations what said acronym means.

Lemmy needs more quality Monty python memes.
