  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I don't quite understand the criticism. It's not gonna be top of the line, but it's more than enough to replace my dying laptop from 2015 that I pretty much only ever use like a desktop anyway. And I can save myself the time and effort of picking parts, building, and dealing with shit not working as expected.

    I don't think I need it, but I'm super glad it's going to exist.

    If it came with a native DVD reader and my PS4 suddenly died, I'd have some choices to make, however.

    I'm 1000% certain you could attach a Blu-Ray drive via USB without internet telemetry, unlike Sony's policies ;)

    Edit: fixed rogue "care of" character, will contact GrapheneOS team lol

    [–] yakko@feddit.uk 22 points 2 days ago

    The idea did occur to me a minute after I'd commented. After my PS4 gives up, I'll have choices to make.

    1000β„…

    Surely you mean 1000‰ (1000 per mille), not care of. How did you type that, anyway?!

    [–] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 days ago

    Wow, I just realized that's the default key on GrapheneOS lol, I should file a bug report.

    The DRM measures of blurays make a hassle to play any legitimately purchased movie, especially 4k ones, a big hassle on any operating system. Not as plug and play like with DVDs...

    I don't want to rip them before watching them or search hours in obscure forums for a leaked description key...

    [–] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

    This would be more useful for game ripping - did that for a lot of my PS3 games due to the large filesizes.

    [–] noahimesaka1873@lemmy.funami.tech 1 points 2 days ago

    MakeMKV thankfully exists, though 4k is a hassle even with that.

    I wonder if it could support an external DVD/BD drive via its USB ports. I assume yes, but that would be an extra purchase for you.

    My Steam Deck feels about on par with PS4 in terms of power, and they say Steam Machine will be more like a PS5, so it sounds like it would be an upgrade over your PS4. Just more expensive, especially if you're buying a disc drive.

    I think that this thing coming out will only be beneficial to PC gamers, especially Linux users. This will encourage further development and standardization.

    [–] yakko@feddit.uk 5 points 2 days ago

    Kinda yeah. Like I said I'm happy it'll exist, it's just that I don't like to spend money on upgrades for the sake of upgrades.
