I fucking love 8bitdos. We have some for the retroarch, and then ones for legitimate systems - the SNES and the Sega Megadrive. I'm just salty I was never able to get my hands on their n64 controllers before they got slapped with copyright.

yeah I fucking hate snaps too

All G :)

Flatpaks is a software control architecture. So instead of having files and executables able to talk to each other across the OS all willy nilly they're kept in little pens. This means the file locations change from what you automatically go to look for

8bitdos are retro feel wireless controllers, retroarch is an emulation software package for playing old console games on a pc. I haven't tested how the nintendo 64 emulator (notoriously hardcore) runs on mint yet.

Daily driver is my default go to pc to use. I run kubuntu on that. If you have windows-based servers or pcs that you're gonna mix with linux, kubuntu and mint have issues browsing to windows file shares with their default network browsers. You need to use what's called "cifs" instead, plenty of documentation if you need to poke about.

The fun starts when it decides to kick off the AV for every single user at once

I got thrown in the deep end professionally with slackware years ago and i personally think pop is satans taint, so don't feel bad.

Been playing with mint on media server builds, works pretty well (apart from aforementioned usb caching), just adjusting to the flatpak sandboxing. Also works well with retroarch and my 8bitdos but i haven't fired up the n64 emu yet.

Daily driver is kubuntu, the biggest issue with both is if you have a mixed os system - the ol "won't network browse or auth as guest on a win machine share" unless you use cifs.

I used to be sysadmin for a uni with a citrix farm. I may have a good shot at taking that crown.

Well fuck me they are real

Mint gets tossed around because it's pretty forgiving. It just shits me i have to rewrite udev for usb key removal. Its the 21st fucking century, no one "dismounts" usb any more

Kubuntu is another one that just works. Hubs hasn't has problems and he's definitely not hardware wired

I used to play footy in the street. Lived on a bus route . We'd just yell "CAR", and then get out of the way. Once the vehicle had passed, we'd get back to it.

What, exactly should I use your bullshit hallucination machine for. It can't even answer a question correctly, or in less than four paragraphs

They're talking about their harry potter fanfics
