    I’m not a tech guy

    • Installs Arch
    • Installs Hyperland
    • Makes custom animated ASCII art for NeoFetch
    • Makes custom bash script for his sponsor spot
    • Creates a completely custom reactor-themed desktop

    Yeah I think he’s a tech guy…he just doesn’t know how to build computers (that was painful to watch).

    And tech papers like Heise now include a test how Linux runs for new gaming devices. Is 2025 the year of the Linux desktop?

          Don’t know about your workflow but have you tried FreeCAD? It surely won’t be like Solidworks, but might work for you.

            I’ve been… Struggling with FreeCAD for a while. I really want to support it, you know, open source and all, but it’s really rough. Something that takes 10 minutes in SOLIDWORKS takes at least one hour in FreeCAD, not accounting for crashes, and complexity increases time exponentially.
            Importing and placing .step files is rather difficult, big assemblies tend to degenerate despite careful binding; I try to bind to the origin as much as possible, often sacrificing adaptability, but it still gets messed up after a while.

              Have you tried it since 1.0? It’s pretty ok.

              What keeps me from making the switch is music-making. None of my plugins run on Linux and sound drivers supposedly are a huge mess.

                  Maybe my info on sound drivers is outdated… I play guitar and rely on low latency for my interface. I use neuralDSP plugins (not just for recording, also for jamming). Is it possible to get this running somehow? Any good DAWs you know of?

      He’s had some controversial things. In 2017 he said the n-word while live streaming a game. The other big one I know of is he made a video where he showed he has paid one of those fiverr groups of Indian children to hold up a sign that said “death to all Jews”. Pewdiepie didn’t think they would actually do it.

      They are really not great situations, and the second one I mentioned he should have realised was a bad idea and not done at all. Back in that 2017 era he positioned himself as an edgier meme YouTube, but he has since apologized and vastly changed his content, and i personally believe he’s a very changed person from a decade ago. But the stigma has stuck around.

      Typical lemmy dumbassery. This behaviour is so fucking boring that the people still acting this way must be children that have a 1-bit processor acting as their brain.
