This (in Reddit parlance). Kbin has come a long way even in the short time since I came here at the beginning of the reddit protest a few weeks ago. I am hoping with the second influx of refugees it will get even better now.

Congrats! I have a Galago Pro and a Gazelle that I purchased several years ago. They both work great and I am very happy with them. Love how open s76 is with all the documentation and software support. Have been considering ordering a desktop from them with an AMD GPU as a gaming machine. Enjoy the laptop!

I really enjoyed XVI. It is not without its problems but overall is a good addition to the series IMHO. I replayed XV as well after not caring for it on my first playthrough. I ended up really liking it the second time around. The story isn’t the best but the game shines in the personal interactions between the characters while you are wandering around and stuff. A lot of the story is really told indirectly through that and I came to appreciate it. Just my thoughts.

Just crashes for me. I can't even get it to load.

I have an LG that is a couple years old. Never connected it to the Internet and don’t intend to but have wondered about firmware updates for it. I am afraid of an update adding ads or something else I don’t want. What is your experience? Or is there a resource that details everything (and I mean everything) that the updates change?

Welcome, fellow refugee.

Welcome. It will become familiar with some time. If you have questions, check out /m/kbinmeta. Folks here are pretty willing to help.

You will! For now, if you have questions, check out /m/kbinmeta. Folks are willing to help around here

Can you tell me how the ! Commands work? Where do I put them? Search? I am on kbin if it matters.

Right now I use pop_os. I bought a System76 laptop so it came with it. I like it because most things just work and I am lazy. Not the biggest gnome fan though. Previous to owning this laptop I tinkered with many distros but usually leaned towards lightweight DEs like xfce.

Does Dragon Quest not work for this? Still turn based even now in the most recent game in the series. Looking forward to the next one.

No kidding! I was just thinking this morning that my Mastodon feed has gone bonkers lately and it is getting harder to keep up! I suppose that is a good problem to have but I only follow a few tags. I am, however, enjoying Mastodon way more than I ever did twitter.

My first disro was red hat 6.2 which wikipedia tells me was released in April 2000. I was fed up with Windows being crappy and crashing so I decided to try an alternative. Well, it didn’t crash like Windows did that is for sure but I spent a ton of time tinkering and upgrading and compiling. Linux has come a long long way since then. I have mostly stuck to it. I had a job that supplied me with a macbook for a while so for a few years I used osx, but I never fully went back to Windows. Now with proton making gaming more accessible on Linux I have no reason to ever go back.

They are just not as fleshed out and detailed as modern FFs. Definitely play the pixel remasters as opposed to the originals. The first games are relatively short too so you won't be investing a ton of time. 4 is when the series really starts to take shape. IMHO 6 is the best but everyone latches onto their personal favorite.

I platinumed Final fantasy XIII. Not that incredibly difficult I guess, but it took so freaking long to get all the weapons, and some are missable IIRC so I had to meticulously catalog each one and make sure I didn’t miss an opportunity to get one.

Unrelated, but love the username, even though I never finished the series.

Like several others here I am using pop_os. I bought a System76 laptop though so they kind of go hand in hand.

Please forgive my ignorance. I don't see this in the app store, how do I get it? Would LOVE a decent app for kbin! (I am a reddit/Apollo refugee if it helps)

I adore XFCE, simple, functional, lightweight. What more do you need? I am currently running pop_os which defaults to Gnome and by comparison it just feels heavy and clunky. The other DE I had love for was enlightenment years ago. A purely keyboard driven DE. It was glorious.

Only problem I have had with LED lights is they stop working after maybe 6 months whereas the CF bulbs would go for years. I have CF bulbs in fixtures that have been working since before I got my first LED installed. What has your experience been? What brand of bulb are you using? I am willing to pay more for a bulb that will last.

Same. First season was so good and the second season….I don’t even know. I didn’t bother with the rest. I didn’t even know there are 4 seasons. What a shame.
