Suggested Distro? by dabe in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

https://nobaraproject.org/ Nobara is EXCELLENT. It took me weeks to tweak my last distro to get to the point that Nobara is out of the box, and GloriousEggroll sets it all up and keeps it updated for everyone.

As for dual booting, you should be able to follow any online guide (and the Nobara installer might even have an option for it). The only caveat is Nobara does NOT support secure boot, so you may have to disable that in your bios (you can google the benefits of secure boot, I find that for a stationary desktop in the hands of any reasonable user, it’s not necessary. Only reason I ever turn it on is to play Valorant on Windows 11 🙃)

Good video game blogs/RSS feeds? by dabe in c/gaming@beehaw.org

[-] dabe@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I specifically like to keep up with linux gaming news, so I have these two in my RSS feeds:

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/

https://linuxgamingcentral.com/

They just make good informative posts in general, not always relating to Linux.

Anyone noticing GitHub reliability issues? (www.githubstatus.com)

I’ve only been getting alerts for GitHub statuses for a month or so now, but it feels like they have an incident like once a week. And it’s to the point where I am actually noticing when they go down at work and in my programming hobbies. Have they always been this rocky, is this a more recent thing, or is it just me?

TikTok Keeps Removing Abortion Pill Content by dabe in c/technology@beehaw.org

TikTok really doesn’t perform that much more data collection on their apps than Google does, if at all more. Sure, data going into the Chinese government might be a bit more concerning, but I’d say most if your argument is dangerously close to Chinese fear-mongering.
