  • I’m a bazzite user for a good year now, and also a first time Linux user. My hardware is amd as well, and for me the experience has been great, the most annoying issues having been compatibility workarounds for windows software. I would definitely recommend you to join their discord for support.

    A green screen of death does not sound healthy, even crashes or hard reboots have never produced something similar for me. To rule out hardware issues, can you install a windows copy and/or create a USB with a live Linux OS such as mint to compare? (For reference, some Linux distros are able to run entirely off a USB stick, albeit much slower due to the obvious bottleneck).

    If all this checks out I would suggest either reinstalling bazzite off a verified iso (there is a function before installing to make sure there are no errors) or using another distro.





  • This reminds me of a project I saw some years ago, it was AR glasses with just a monochrome display that would project into the eye itself, adjusted to the individual user by an optometrist.

    It was less ambitious than the other projects at the time on what it would be able to display, but this had the distinct advantage of being extremely power efficient and lightweight, allowing the system to fit into a normal glasses form factor.

    It also looked cyberpunk as fuck with the user having a glowing red dot in one of his eyes during use, at least to everyone else. I tried a bunch of times to google for what ever has become of it, because I was very interested in the concept as a wearer of glasses.

    Does anyone by any chance know what I’m talking about? This would have been in the early to mid 2010s.

    TLDR: Want my cyberpunk glasses. Pls halp



  • Why does he not use those headphones? It is generally accepted practice to make an effort to be quiet when you need noises, not make an effort to endure someone else’s crap.

    So I’d say the responsibility is solely on his shoulders to stay fucking quiet. Why not blast all that noise to a headset? Also, depression doesn’t factor into this. If he keeps bringing that up as an excuse you need to address that.






  • Imagine being born 10000 years ago where chances that you died before adulthood were significant and even a minor infected cut would likely mean your death, not to mention any more serious injury such as a broken bone 🥰

    Don’t get me wrong I hate modern wage slavery just as you do but I also appreciate not being dead yet just because I had a rough accident three years ago.




  • First of all, I don’t have a horse in this race. My media is stored locally and used only by my household. I really don’t give a shit if a corporation needs more revenue to satisfy their infinite growthTM.

    My issue is with how they are doing it. Provide an extra service or function, introduce a higher tier with priority treatment or so. Thats fine with me.

    What’s not fine is taking something away people used to get for free, because the shitty venture capital business model isn’t feasible and only provided these things to capture the market, and now comes the nickel and diming part of providing ever fewer services and functions for ever increasing amounts of money.

    As for jellyfin, thats open source AFAIK. So why even mention that here as some sort of gotcha? If it enshittifies people will fork it and move on.
