GPU1 is probably your integrated GPU. Look into how you can force the use of your dedicated GPU.

Tried it, no dice.

Gog sucks nuts on Linux though. It's such a pain in the ass to get my Gog games working in Lutris that I opted to install Gog Galaxy as a non-Steam game and then install my Gog games through that.

Forget baby Hitler, if I had a time machine I'd kill baby Reagan.

Bro, I'm too young to miss this. I barely remember XP.

What medium is this?

[–] hellofriend@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago

Yeah, I agree. I'm actually at work right now and don't wanna lose my job because some nosey coworker saw this in my feed.

Whoops, tautology!

I probably could have phrased that better. Why are the projects that are being funded significant? Apologies.

Can someone give me a rundown on why the projects being funded are significant?

I wouldn't call it unproductive. We live in an era where things "just work," and when they don't then you end up with complications. Would a business switch to Linux if they see that network problems are a possibility? Maybe when they're looking to upgrade their hardware, but even then they'd have to get their IT department to research hardware that will "just work" with Linux. And after that, they need to find a commercial wholesaler to provide the kit or have the company custom build however many PCs themselves, just so they don't end up having financial losses due to failed network connections. Would they put Linux on their current hardware? Hell no. Windows is a known quantity and no business is going to risk losses by introducing a potentially risky operating system to their systems/workflow. It is good to point out the issues with the OS so that those issues can be fixed. It's good to hear the perspectives of the everyman if we want Linux to grow.

That's what I've resorted to but it's not working as well as the apt package. Freezes often, cloud sync breaks repeatedly.

 

Almost every distro I've used so far ends up having problems installing Steam due to mismatching i386 packages. I've heard that they're being removed upstream. Anyone happen to know a timeline?

 

I'm looking to start a career in GRC. Been searching a bunch of different things (e.g. cybersecurity internal audit, GRC analyst, cyber audit, risk analyst, etc.) but everything that's coming up is mid-senior positions, manager positions, etc.

 

This is the laptop in question. It has an x86 processor so basically any distro should work on it. However, it is still a Chromebook which likely means Google fuckery in the BIOS. But it's great value for the money (can get it $300 off at Costco) and if I can plop Linux on to it then I'd love it.

 

Picture for nutritional info.

 

Reading up on One Big Union. The Wikipedia article mentions that at the end of its days it was generating income via a lottery in its bulletin. This gave me an idea.

In the interest of diversifying news media, strengthening journalistic practices and integrity, creating non-partisan news coverage, and giving Canadian works a national outlet for publishing, I would like to start an online newspaper. However, I would like to limit ads since I find them distasteful at best and compromising at worst. This leaves subscription income and one-off purchases as the main revenue sources.

The issue with this is that people don't purchase news media anymore. They either look at an ad-supported website or they wait for someone else to buy a paywalled article and copypaste it somewhere. So the issue with a non-ad-supported model is that there's no incentive to buy. Hence, a lottery a la a 50/50 draw or some such. This would give people incentive to buy, increasing the circulation of the newspaper. So I'm hoping someone might be able to provide some insight into the matter.
