Fascists, for sure.

Fascism isn’t necessarily Nazi though. Famously, Nazi referred to German fascists, not Italian ones.

Nazi? No. Imperialist? Sure. Nazi is a bit strong for what they’re doing. You can thank Sykes-Picot for starting the land issues in the Middle East, and every political entity similar for the last 80 years just kicking the can down the road.

1. Because conservatives do not want tax dollars going to people in outgroups.
2. Because most Americans lack an understanding of statistics. You cannot use the logic that it’s cheaper to pay on aggregate for services through tax dollars, nor that the evidence shows that the monetary losses of a socialistic system are less than the gain. They don’t understand.

This work for you?

It’s explicitly a new feature of KDE plasma 6.6. I just can’t get it working lol.

I’ll definitely try that!

Where can I go to ask for help troubleshooting my Xbox controller to be used as an input device on the desktop? Currently it shows up, works ingame, but it does nothing on the desktop…

I’m having a really hard time figuring out how to use my Xbox controller as an input device. It shows up and works great in games, and in the “game controllers” settings menu, but it doesn’t do anything on the desktop. I’ve enabled the toggle for “use as input device” and nothing happens. Where can I go to ask questions for troubleshooting? The matrix server doesn’t allow new members (I cannot make an account), and there doesn’t seems like there’s a discord server to ask questions directly.

The desktop environment you choose is really down to what you prefer:

Like trackpads? Gnome

Like the Windows desktop (and/or like customization)? KDE

Like windows XP flat UI or brutally simple UI? Cinnamon/XFCE

Want to dive into the unknown cutting edge? Cosmic

Twitter or Bluesky

It’s hilarious to me how much hardcore porn is on those platforms.

I hate it, but I support letting those that like it have the option to use it…?

Not gonna lie, having to relearn that muscle memory is gonna be hard lol.

Affinity isn’t Linux compatible yet, and Gimp has a steep learning curve (the photoshop-ification plugin for new Gimp users isn’t well advertised)

My 7800XT can’t play Hogwarts Legacy without stuttering (on Linux). I’m really regretting not getting a 5080 at this point.

That’s such a bad way to look at it. I would’ve bought a 5090 if I could afford it because I want to hold onto the 5090 for almost a decade like I did with my 1080. Depending on prices, it doesn’t make sense to upgrade twice in 10 years because you bought a budget option, and then be stuck trying to sell a budget card. 5090s will hold their value for years to come. Good luck playing AAA titles maxed out in 5 years on a 7800XT.

AMD is plug and play on Linux. With my 7800XT there isn’t a driver to install. Only issue is that AMD doesn’t make anything that competes with the 5080/5090.

I’d use Gnome if it had tray application icon support. I just cannot do without my tray icons for Dropbox.

Bazzite for a first try. If you never hit a wall needing to make system tweaks, stick to it in the long term. Otherwise, I’m really liking Fedora. KDE/Gnome is personal choice.
