    spends an hour configuring Proton to run a game smoothly, plays for 10 minutes

    You got the wrong form. This is the one you need:

    i cannot confirm nor deny these allegations, but i can provide you with my dotfile repo

    If you used NixOS, you could move your whole OS there!

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Seriously thinking about nuking my years old Gentoo installation to try Nixos at this point.

    Could always just get another drive instead, storage is pretty cheap these days.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    True. I'll migrate my /home back to my root drive and use the spare drive to experiment with.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I'll migrate my /home back to my root drive and use the spare drive to experiment with.

    Or just leave it where it is and mount it there too ¯\(ツ)

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Well my home is on my spare drive currently lol. I guess I could just create another btrfs subvol alongside @home and use that as root.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    But where's the fun in that? Then you don't get new hardware.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    I'd normally agree with you lol, but I got laid off recently so I have to make due with what I have for now.

    The obvious answer that escaped me for whatever reason was just to create a VirtualBox VM. I already have it installed so why not.

    The whole OS is configured by a single file (or subfiles you include from the main file) - every package and setting can be there. Meaning you just move the file to a new OS, run a single command, and you have the exactly same OS.

    me when I feel like digital drawing:

    1. open Krita
    2. spend 2 hours getting a brush just right
    3. exhausted, only draw for 5 minutes before giving up and getting my physical sketchbook and a pencil
    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    There's such a relief in using simple physical tools that have a very limited number of parameters and degrees of freedom to consider. Same reading a book vs reading on a computer.

    I've seen some artists who normally use advanced programs try MSPaint and make some amazing art.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    My friend. I've seen artists friends spends days and hundreds of dollars, experimenting with paints, pencils, sharpening tools, brushes, etc. Have you seen how deep the brush material rabbit hole is?

    I feel attacked and I don't even use Arch btw

    [–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (3 children)

    I have Elite: Dangerous. I literally built a 6D motion sensor headtracking rig with IR diodes and a modified PS EYE. 30 hours of config later I had the P E R F E C T config, so I moved on to new games.

    Balancing the insane ADS in Cyberpunk 2077 by manually editing core files while battling 150+ mods, now that's what I call enjoyable gaming!

    Stopped flirting, I'm married! But...u know...don't stop.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

    i can optimize a system for negligible results all night until it runs smoooth and purrs like a kitten

    Wait, is that purring a destabilized fan? I'll have to get back to you.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Sounds like my buddy configuring like 300 Skyrim mods over the course of a week until the game is thoroughly unplayable without a crash for longer than 5-15 minutes, then he'll play it for a couple days and do something else.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I played New Vegas over 150+hours on my last run and -50 of those hours was just installing mods and testing them :D

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    If I can customize my house in the game, why shouldn't I customize the game in my house?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    And I thought I was insane with 53 Valheim mods... give this guy a trophy.

    [–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    ok but pedals for layout switching sounds awesome

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    Until you get carpal tunnel in your feet.

    [–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    tfw OP just posts your average Gentoo user

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    Gentoo? That's a distro I haven't used in a long time. A long time...

    Well, of course I know him. He's me.

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

    Now I see why you guys like Lemmy.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

    She got to the second hour? Impressive.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

    This could be a bingo grid.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Bold of you to assume he got a girl home

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I'm trying like hell to figure out what all of you are on about then I decide to actually read the topic

    !Linuxmemes

    Oh, that makes much more sense

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    Never underestimate the powers of Arch elitism!

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

    I may not spend hours customizing stuff anymore but anytime I open a new piece of software I instantly jump to settings. I can't help it.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

    I feel attacked.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    Where did you get that picture of me?

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I use Kubuntu in mostly default configuration. Am I special or a normie?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    A special normie.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

    I object to this blatant misinformation about me.

    I am Thirty, not twenty-three, mister.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

    Break the cycle Morty, rise above, use Ansible!

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

    I thought that ok I post myself here and now I see that I am not only weirdo :D
