Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll give it a try!

Hundreds of Beavers! It’s an absolute delight showing it to someone who has never seen it before.

I first read the second word as “intestinal”

I can’t imagine they’ll try to go past 5, but I hope the next one is the last.

Though I’m a bit biased - IMO the last episode of season 2 was a perfect ending, and I’m completely satisfied.

Keep that incident out of your fucking mouth!

The toilet of the sea?!

Hm… yeah, I get that (not the part about Boardwalk Empire, haven’t seen that yet). Most people in BB are definitely miserable!

I liked BB a lot, especially on a second watch through many years later, but the main reason is probably just that I can understand why each character behaves the way they do - the writing is consistently “realistic” in a manner I haven’t really seen anywhere else with a comparable length.

The joke is that episode 30 “Fly” is famously the lowest-rated episode of the series. At 7.9/10.

Have you heard the good news of our Lord and Savior, atomic Fedora versions? It’s even easier there because the driver is part of the image itself, and rollbacks are as easy as selecting a different entry in the boot manager.

Ah, I haven’t used wireless VR yet, so I can’t comment on that. Planning to wait for the Steam Frame, I’m sure Valve will make it work well enough. There is a project called ALVR that I keep reading about in the context of wireless VR on Linux, might be something to look at if you wanna dig deeper.

I’d argue that my setup allows you to not treat the OS as a hobby, but your mileage may vary :) I’m using an atomic Fedora variant (specifically Aurora, which is focused on developers - but there’s also e.g. Silverblue (Gnome) or Kinoite (KDE) as normal day-to-day versions, and Bazzite which focuses on gaming). Steam is running through Flatpak, and everything else - SteamVR & the games themselves - honestly just worked for me. Sometimes SteamVR shows an error after starting, in that case I have to quit, unplug my headset for a few seconds, plug it back in & start SteamVR again, but other than that it’s been a fairly painless experience.

I should mention that I use a Valve Index, but as long as you’re using SteamVR, things should work the same.

Sure, that’s fair, but then you shouldn’t go around saying “those distributions make it harder to mess with your computer”. Your criticism seems to instead be “I can’t use the tooling and processes I already know”, which again is fair, but definitely a separate issue.

You’re going to have the same issue with any distribution that uses a different package manager, and it wouldn’t be fair to e.g. Alpine to say “it makes it harder to mess with my system since I can’t use apt or dnf”.

Do you have anything concrete in mind? I don’t feel like the atomic Fedora variants make it harder for me to mess with my computer once I’ve learned their approach.

There are very, very few things that Bazzite prevents you from doing. Usually they just have an alternative approach (e.g. in a Distrobox) to ensure the stability of the system.

What kind of VR setup are you using?

I’ve been successfully using SteamVR on atomic Fedora. If she also uses SteamVR, I’d be happy to write details about my setup (though it’s fairly standard)!

I don’t know what mistake, but you’re welcome! :D I was just making a reference to that legendary wine commercial - I can’t see a picture of him and not have “Aaaahh, the french” popping in my head.

Aaaah, Orson Wells

Please don’t fart 😿

Unlikely, browser vendors are very careful adding such APIs, and MS doesn’t have the pull Google does.

A simple fix is, of course, not to use Edge.

The browser version shouldn’t be able to access this info.

Surely it must be related to their ability to sense changes to water pressure to an incredible degree. Otherwise they could never keep a Sharknado stable for more than a few seconds.
