Knowing Canonical and Ubuntu it is probably still suported and it will be for the next decade.

I mean if it works, what’s the problem? Do these often break down?

Linux is pretty common in embedded devices. For example information screens in buses in my city (Kraków) which display stuff like next stops, OSM map, time, etc. run some kind of customized Linux distribution I think, and you can often see bunch of Tuxes along with console output when it boots up.

I mean TeamSpeak did only one thing, and it was good.

Why what? Why Debian? Why Nvidia? Or White Nvidia 550 drivers?

• Why Debian: Because I am most familiar with Debian-based distros, and I don’t generally need latest stuff for anything. I really wanted to familiarize myself with the base for other distros, and I am fine with it.

• Why Nvidia: Because I chose Nvidia when I built my computer (it was running Windows 10 at that moment) and I never upgraded it, and given that I don’t have integrated graphics on my system I am stuck with it, unless I upgrade.

• Why Nvidia 550 drivers: Because these are the drviers that are in the latest Debian release (13 - trixie) and I don’t want to break my system by installing experimental drivers or official ones from Nvidia. I also only have problems on Wayland Plasma session where HW accelerated apps and games have big graphical issues, but relogging to X11 session is fine for now. I don’t really play video games, except retro and indie stuff anyway.

I am on Debian with Nvidia 550 drivers… yeah.

There are so many indie games and older PC titles, that it is not really an issue.

I like GUI’s, but I prefer them simple and customizable, so I eventually want to switch away from KDE Plasma to just some window manager.

OpenBSD

I use Debian on my desktop PC and laptop and OpenBSD on the other laptop.

I am both a chad and schizo.

Edit: And no, not because of Gentoo.

OpenBSD is pretty cool.

On Linux you can indeed install old apps. You will just need to spend few hours doing so… or use Flatpak I guess.

I use Debian GNU/Linux ftw.

Meanwhile I don’t really play games anymore.

I’d rather spend my free time… learning Turkish. It’s like puzzle, but a bit harder to make sense out of it :)

I am 30 so close enough.

Like a month ago, someone wanted to connect my laptop to a projector in university class to show presentation. Little did I know that after connecting HDMI cable I will have a black screen on my laptop, lol.

If I knew my laptop is going to be used in such way I would prepare, but still…

I don’t understand the hype about TikTok anyway. I installed it few weeks ago, and uninstalled few days later because how boring and useless the app is.

I must be old.

Wtf is a left wing architecture.

The shit far right comes up with sometimes melts my brain.

Sure, but you still need to package Steam for all different “Linux distributions” (I put it in quotes, because I dislike the term) separately, or use things like Flatpak, which some people might be comfortable with, and others not really.

And if you go to page like ProtonDB, it shows that people have all different hardware and software configurations and it’s a big mess, because you are never sure if game will work or not, until you try (and maybe try different “hacks” to get it running). I have problems running ETS2 (Euro Truck Simulator 2) on Debian, even though it run on Windows fine, and let me say: I don’t have time for this shit.

I use Linux, because I am fed up with Windows, and I don’t really play games anymore (or at least modern titles) but if I replace my computer this year to get new build (will run Debian of course), I think I will just install either Bazzite or Windows 11 (or both) on the PC I am currently using, and let my brother play games there.

It still probably doesn’t run two applications that I like to use, that is paint.net and the latest free version of SketchUp (unavailable for download officially).
