Fedora is "the gaming" distro and perfect for Linux beginner confirmed (at least for me) (lemmy.ca)

why? because it's not triggering an obscure anti cheat on a game I've been playing when using wine (performance is still the same tho), everything else is just work no missing dependencies and it's doesn't get in my way like other distros (I tried Arch, Opensuse, Ubuntu, Debian), just to clarify I'm a complete noob when it come to Linux so maybe if I know better I probably make everything works just like Fedora

You think people have multiple PS/2 mice in 2024?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I didn’t say that. I was speaking for myself.

…but yes

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

many people don't even own a usb mouse.

I consider myself a huge nerd but I would be surprised if I even still have a ps/2 mouse somewhere.

Maybe I’m just old, then. I have every type of tech I would possibly need to troubleshoot any machine I could imagine… thinking about throwing away my parallel cables, I’m like “what if an HP Laserjet Series II needs help?!”

Do we share a closet?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Some of us don't throw out old stuff just cause it is old, lol, my closet is angry with me cries in 486

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Sure, but even folks who hoard stuff might be old enough to have never had one. Even at 32 I've never had one before. My dad might have one somewhere though.
