I’m older GenZ “Zillennial”?
What in particular makes you think there’s not many of us on here? Not like Lemmy makes you state your age on your account.

I’d like to think there’s a difference between “keeping up with the times” and chasing whatever new thing gets advertised.
Unless you’re really into number chasing with benchmarks then just keep using whatever you like until something YOU find better comes along.
Also I’m GenZ and just use whatever comes with the DE, it’s not an old person thing shakes fist.
It’s a reference to a scene in The Matrix.
It’s definitely not just a Lemmy thing just any site that grows a user base.
I kind off think of it like the difference between talking to random people at a local hobby space vs a national convention. Sure you’re gonna still find people with shared interests but you got more people coming in with an agenda or chip on their shoulder, Or just general trolls who target larger groups because it’s more people to get a rise out of.
But you’d have to consult some sociologist or someone for a in-depth factual answer, I’ve just been on a lot of random sites/forums over the years.
Honestly Lemmy has handled it’s growth a lot better than most places online I’ve seen. I’d say people on here are pretty raw but not actively spiteful (mostly), which I very much vibe with.
TempleOS is the only OS corpos won’t touch, It’s protected by a holy shield!
My personal experience has been hit n miss.
Was using one 4TB Seagate for 11 years then bought a newer model to replace it since I thought it was gonna die any day. That new one died within 6 months. The old one still works although I don’t use it for for anything important now.
Somehow missed your reply until now.
They dropped support on the Linux version forever ago and moved to Easy Anticheat which DOES support being used through Proton but the devs won’t enable it.
I’ve gotten repressings of MoR and Vol. 4 but after hearing the original mixes on FLAC recently I really wanna try hunt down the originals. If I can find them within my budget…
For me that game was Rust and it was more ‘Maybe for the best if I don’t touch that game again’
Didn’t have a dedicated day for it but I used to hang out around the office my mother worked at if dad was on late shift.
I was put “in charge” of the printer and paper shredder.
I ended up actually working at that company in my early 20s after my mother had already left. The Boss and I.T. guy who still worked there joked about my “previous experience at the job”.
Gonna steal an idea from Karl Pilkington and leave a dishwasher somewhere on Mars for one of the rovers to find.
At least my experience on KDE the system theme option barely seems to work for GTK programs.
Even tho I specifically went out of my way to get a dark GTK theme in the system settings.
I play and mod a lot of older games most of which aren’t on Steam, so getting some of them running takes a bit more manual effort especially if they require a 3rd party patch to run on modern hardware.
Normally it’s pretty simple like declaring some extra DLL files, But sometimes I’m jumping through hoops trying to get some old installer than hasn’t been updated since 2009 to run…
I’ve had more success than failures though, Wine is pretty amazing imo.
Modern meaning a GTK app?
The only other DAW I’ve used before Ardour was Reaper and I got my head around Ardours Ui a lot quicker on my first go.
As someone who still plays a lot of 2000s and early 2010s video games, The ‘piss filter’ can stay in the past. And I go out of my way to disable it anytime I can.
For anyone who doesn’t know, look up gameplay of Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) and noticed the heavy yellow tint over the entire screen. So many games from around that era of gaming had heavy handed colour filters. Not always piss yellow but that was a popular one.
Trying to mount an iso image in the terminal and accidentally un-mounting your root drive.
Totally didn’t do that before…nope not even once, definitely not twice >.>
I dunno if the Hub software works but I do have a Seagate OneTouch portable 4TB drive and it worked without issues on Linux after reformatting like I would any other drive.
It’s kinda weird I could understand the habit a decade or two ago when computers were still mainly using harddrives and some were just…slow hunks of junk.
But the majority of my peers I know who keep their PCs on for weeks or months at a time, All run at least a Sata SSD for the boot drive.
Yeah I wasn’t expecting to make most of the money back, But if I can get a bit then it’s still money towards something I will use.
This one ^
The physical comedy alone is gold, Also you won’t leave their parents dealing with the nightmares like some of these movies…unless they really fear someone breaking in to piss on their rug.
