I guess I’m not Linux enough for this meme

If only the Greeks could see us now

I am. I run cachyos which I run most of my steam games from. If I pirate something I do it in a VM to test it out, and if I like it then I buy it on steam/GOG.

The VM has very little performance loss either because they’re just that good now or because I have a pretty good pc I’m not sure. I also run games like BanderLord in a VM so I can mod with vortex. (Yes the setup is very stupid, but it’s a glass castle and I’m scared to move anything)

There are relatively few people who “crack” the games and the community around it is very verbal. Some people go deep on inspecting things, and if something gets found they’re added to a list of untrusted sources. From what I’ve seen it’s hard to get that trust back.

So yeah it’s definitely a risk, but not a super dangerous one. Especially if you use Linux and a VM

Man I forgot how slick XFCE looked

Excellent choice

Idk what this is but it looks so freaking good

Edit: I know now and I’m definitely adding this on my laptop

Ubuntu Touch seems like a decent option, but graphineOS seems much more complete. I would definitely recommend keeping an app store though. Security updates are important.

Ahh that sucks

Older pixel phones run relatively cheap if you don’t mind having an older model. Mine was still locked by my ISP, but I used their insurance plan and they sent me an unlocked one lol

Close enough

There’s plenty of distros that do let you destroy your system.

Just wanna state that this has been going on since before US involvement. Two dictatirs fighting each other…

They’ll be on ebay for cheap once the hardware is obsolete

Great looking case though. These are gonna make some cool projects in 5-10 years

Scary thing is that this is EXTREMELY common…

(Not a programer) I’ve tried vibe coding some simple things for myself and gotten “decent” results. I couldn’t imagine trying to make anything ready for commercial release. I’ve had to learn the basics of Python just to unfuck its mistakes…

Absolutely if you learn how to do it. It also comes with the responsibility of maintaining it over time though

U/Jackson on Reddit made a really good post about this
