  • Hmm, guess I’m gonna have to spin up a chat service if this “teen” setting is too restrictive. The only guarantee I have is that anything given for age verification is going to be hacked with 0 compensation, I will not submit either my face or my ID. My account is 9 yrs this year, will they consider an almost 10 yr old account to be that of an adult?

    Is there another good chat app like this? With similar features (only really need voice/text maybe pictures. Channels that won’t vanish if everyone logs off)? Haven’t been on IRC since 2k2, has it advanced since then? Back in the IRC days we used Team Speak (forget if it was TS or TS2 but on linux you had 0 restrictions on number of users).




  • I moved my gf to Kubuntu, all she knows is double click starts her games, open konsole - press up arrow - hit enter to start the G13 kb and every so often click that round icon with the blue dot for updates whenever she feels like it (or something stops working). Oh yeah, kernel level anti-cheat is a dead stop under linux, if he plays any of them, he needs windows so far as I know.

    I put flatpak as the default instead of snap (10 seconds), she is now as comfortable as she was under windows, I have also not needed to support her much (except for the stuff I forgot to setup). and for the love of god make sure you show your friend “TimeShift” can’t say enough how great that app is, you can break almost anything tinker to your hearts content and recover in minutes











  • I do VR on Kubuntu, unless flatpak has changed and can do that DRM thing correctly now because it couldn’t when I started, I got steam from the steam site, ensure you have compatibility on then ~80% - 90% of your library should just work. Lutris installed and ran EA/Sims3 fine, gf also plays official minecraft on her kubuntu. Any kernel anticheat is a no go on linux the ONLY use I see for cloud gaming is these games, but I really wish no one would show that this “service” is viable it will only hurt us in the end


  • My gf and I are on Kubuntu. The only CLI she needs is to start her G13 kb, otherwise she is GUI only, even when I set up her machine it was all through GUI. Myself, I do CLI stuff cause it is often easier for me, lsblk/lsusb/mount broken ntfs drives(Ok this one I need after the occasional reboot til I get a new media drive), but I don’t NEED to use it except for my G13 kb and the broken ntfs drive for now. ymmv.
