Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Even though i have no gaemz, my video card drivers are barely working, my RAM randomly shits itself, and I smell burning whenever I charge my headphones through the USB, I still laugh at windows users desperately cling to their spyware OS. Yeah, enjoy your video games.
Sure, the closest thing to entertainment Linux offers is firing up Gimp and hoping it doesn't spontaneously combust your hard drive, but at least I'm free!
At least we got gimp 3 before GTA VI
I've got fucking Tux Racing, and every time I boot it up my screen starts flickering and my cd-tray starts opening and closing so fast, the friction starts making smoke and triggering a full scale evacuation.
I fucking love ubuntu
I just wish the GIMP devs would change that stupid name. Half the reason I'm recommending Krita instead these days instead is because I don't feel comfortable saying "gimp" in polite company. Don't get me wrong, I love transgressive art, I'm no prude. But I think it's time to advance beyond juvenile humour when naming general-audience programs like this.
I could probably call it GNU Imp, which stays on brand with other GNU packages. Imp is still kinda awkward but at least it's not a sex joke.
It's sad because the mascot for the program is really cute.
I think Imp is a great idea for a name. Easy to say, easy to spell, and it has a playful connotation.
For entertainment on Linux I use this indie open source app but you’ve gotta compile it yourself from source and recompile your kernel too to make it work. Oh and reinstall all your drivers and pray to the tech gods and sacrifice your first born child and turn it off and back on again.
Anyway, it’s called Steam.
Steam takes 3 minutes to install from a flatpak
That’s the joke mb
U good, I just got exhausted from seeing some of the other comments itt
But can it Peggle?
