just lost a good hour of my life figuring out why the audio on my laptop was intermittently cutting out two or three times a second... good ol' pulseaudio. at least I didn't have to re-install Kubuntu altogether...

the semester is over and i suddenly have no purpose in life

minecraft mods are like heroin dude, holy shit
I started up a server to play with my friends on 1.14 and I didn't realize how badly I needed mods. unfortunately it looks like I have no way to get anything from my current world to an older version, so until either MCEdit updates or MCForge and other major mods update, I'm basically stuck...

could you run me through a typical work day in your field? I'm really interested in becoming as a system admin or analyzer, but wanna make sure I know what I'm getting myself into.

gettin real sick of not waking up on time. setting all of my alarms to Spiderman 2: The Game Pizza song

are there any alternatives to Windows designed specifically for gaming? I've thought about SteamOS, but it's still Linux, and there's some non-Steam games that I want to play.

...so that way, if I want to work on a Linux thing while I'm in a game, I can do that without having to reboot my entire machine. however, I've heard that's a pretty tricky method to implement. minGW or cygWin don't seem like alternatives that would work for me. the best thing I could think of is to install Linux on my SSD and save just enough space for a Windows install, then get known working games set up with Proton, and any other games on Windows. that way I don't have to reboot as often.

I know that Proton is a thing now, but considering it's still relatively early into it's development process, scouring through forums and messing with a ton of settings just to play a game isn't something I have the time or energy for anymore. I've also tried running Linux entirely in a VM, but it just feels wrong to me. one solution I've thought of is to set up Linux as a partition on my hard drive and find some way to run that through a VM...

so, I've been talking about switching to Linux on my desktop machine for a while. the main thing that's holding me back is the fact that it's mainly a gaming machine. I've tried dual-booting with Windows and Linux in the past, with Windows being for gaming and Linux for everything else, but having to restart my computer whenever I want to play a quick game with someone drastically hampers my workflow in Linux. anyone here in a similar situation?

I wanna get better at puyo puyo but I don't have anyone to play with :<

are we posting about cringe now? is that what we're doing?

I've started using my laptop much more extensively ever since I got Kubuntu up and running on it. I'm starting to get really comfortable with Linux and I'm excited to try and get it on my desktop this summer! I'll have to mess with Proton and a game or two (probably MHW) to see how viable something like that would be for me.
