A soup.
Second Bazzite. My use case is almost identical to OPs. Been using Bazzite for a while and I haven’t had a single issue. Everything works. Gaming is a breeze. Even works with my work dock with keyboard, mouse, webcam, and 2 1080p monitors attached. Plug n play.
Never had that experience on Linux before in my LIFE
You keep referencing your own personal tech adeptness as some sort of gotcha against what the study found. This is exactly what they say. People well-versed in tech greatly overestimate the general public’s tech abilities.
You are in your own bubble. Your kids are good at tech because YOU are good at tech. Just peruse through your posting history. You’re posting about hacker conferences and running local Joplin services. You are NOT the average tech consumer. Congratulations on being surrounded by like minded peers. You are not the average.
The findings of the study went absolutely over your head. You’re clearly very tied to your personal experience and cannot see outside of it so any more interaction or discussion would be a waste of both of our times. Take care.
You might be misunderstanding what I’m saying. I haven’t said that there aren’t any in the 40+ crowd that are tech savvy, just the overwhelming majority arent.
It’s not me who’s just spouting this, I’m paraphrasing a study that was done that found these results:
What country is this?
I expect someone in their 40s to not know copy and paste. The more savvy that I have worked with/taught knew they could right click and then click “copy” from the drop down list. Ctrl+c blew some peoples minds when I showed it.
People who are good with tech VASTLY overestimate the general public’s tech literacy. But don’t take my word for it, take this study’s word: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/computer-skill-levels/
I’m having a very hard time accepting that your 60 year old parents, after seeing Linux, said something along the lines of “What was windows doing for us?”
I teach adults 40-80 on how to use Windows products. I’ve taught over 5,000 people this year so far. The vast majority didn’t even understand the concept of browser tabs or copy/paste. These are people well into their professions in corporate office jobs. They don’t even know what an operating system is.
Nudity=sex and sex is worse than violence there.
Baldurs Gate. There is so much content. I’m 150 hours in the game, I play split screen coop with my wife. We each have our characters customized to how we like it. It’s AAA quality. Came at a AAA price, but it’s absolutely worth it.
And I say this as a FPS/simulation gamer. Totally different genre but they’ve made this game accessible to all. It’s the only game I’ve ever purchased at full price and my steam account is 12 years old.
I can tell you that its behaviour matches the exact reported behaviour on the higher end chips. I updated the motherboard the moment my manufacturer released it. RMA it to get yet another faulty chip? Considering Intel will charge me shipping and a restocking fee? Nah.
My i5 13600 had this issue. I thought I was safe. It barely boots up now. I wasn’t even running it 24/7. Like maybe 1- hours per day for 3 months.
I’ve been an intel boy since I first started building computers in 2014.
Buy an AMD.
Also don’t buy this because like the previous flight simulator, they will restrict you to slow Microsoft servers so your first 150 hours in-game will actually just be downloading additional content at whatever speed Microsoft has limited their servers. 5MBPs? Maybe sometimes!
Appreciate the sentiment but it’s me vs thousands haha.
I’m unionized and the union rolled over and let the employer do this. “The employer reserves the right to designate where employees work”
Wonder what I’m paying union dues for.
We’re witnessing an all out war on the working class. My workplace had 4 years of 100% remote work and we changed all of our systems and processes to be optimized for a distributed wfh workforce. We too just got the order that starting October we no longer have telework as a perk. 5 days onsite no exceptions.
We have studies and countless surveys proving how much productivity and employee happiness improved, but that literally doesn’t mean anything because senior managers want butts in seats because corporate real estate will lower in valuation if there aren’t butts in seats.
Why are people complaining over how a character looks??? You see her backside most of the game when you play anyways. Some people.
That’s perfect! Now marketing companies have way better data on the addiction market segment which is handy because there’s still enough time to tailor custom ads for their psychological profiles which will push them towards products and political positions if we slip them in their social media feeds for at minimum 3 weeks!
They aren’t. They’re a party trick.
Don’t let them win by giving up spaces they go to. The overall majority of blue sky that I’ve seen has been pretty similar to Lemmy/Mastodon in terms of general content. Make a Nazi cry, don’t let them kick you out of your spaces.
They are incompatible with society and it’s time they’re made to feel that way.
