I’ve come to realise at least half of the stuff posted on Reddit these days, especially more so on the popular subs, are all designed to make you angry.

It’s things like posting incorrect info in the title, posting a comic / image that’s been deliberately designed to get you angry, someone really wanting their 5 minutes of fame like this guy, or some post from some bigot.

It’s so tiring. Have started to notice it on Lemmy too.

This would only be true in the US. What about the rest of the world?

What was you doing?

Other than enabling proton for all games in the settings, you shouldn’t have to do anything else to get steam games working.

Well, unless the game itself uses anti-cheat and the developer hasn’t enabled support for Linux, anyway.

They watch the horny pokemon things, probably. Rule 34 and all that.

Nothings stopping you. It achieves the same thing. Some people might just prefer this since it’s easier and gets logged in the systemd journal? The Arch wiki lists some nice benefits of using systemd timers as a replacement to cron jobs.

The way I understand it, it’s an automated job that sends the “trim” command to SSDs to discard all the blocks that have been marked as unused by the filesystem. My knowledge is a little patchy so I’m probably missing some important details…

When you go to delete something on an SSD, it’s simply just marked as being deleted. The file still technically occupies space on the SSD and the SSD will never simply overwrite space that has a deleted file on it.

So… by enabling the service, systemd will automatically send the trim command that tells the SSD to empty out all the space occupied by files marked as deleted which allows the SSD to reuse said space.

Eh, WSL is still enough like Linux that it could be the best option for a lot of people. No risk to the computer being unable to boot whilst still giving you the ability to play with Linux tooling.

And credit where credit’s due: Microsoft details how to do a bare metal install, which is the most likely option to wipe Windows from your machine in the first place.
