  • Switched to Linux around the time Windows 11 was first announced to be a mandatory update, and all the bullshit about security.

    I started out with Ubuntu, now I’ve been using Bazzite for over a year.

    The programs I use, Gimp, Krita, Blender3D, Audacity, OBS, all have Linux native versions, and are generally part of the FOSS community anyway. Well, except for Audacity right now…

    So my artistic work hasn’t been hindered in the least.

    Games are a slightly different story. I switched from an nVidia GTX 1060 6GB to an Intel Arc A770. Overall a significant upgrade, but there are issues. Some I had with Blender3D not recognising the card (something that was largely solved by switching distro). Other problems still persist, specifically with Intel Arc, Linux, and UE5.

    UE5 is an absolute hateable bitch and some combination of Linux and Intel Arc provides no end of trouble. I still can’t get certain games to run (i.e. Oblivion Remastered).














  • The opposite is also true; ancient Greece now has a cultural reputation for being very progressive when it comes to homosexuality, but… If you actually read the kinds of things Ancient Greeks say about it… I mean sure, they mention gay a lot more, but there’s a lot of making fun of gayness.

    Imagine going back in time to touristically “immerse” yourself in the “progressive” ancient Greeks, and all you find are rich people and states owning slaves and everyone making fun of gay people.
