I know lots of people love KDE. I haven’t tried it yet. I just googled the difference when I was researching distros and chose GNOME because it looked more Mac-like, which is my preference.

Displaying the title of the currently playing media sounds useful!

This was a mild pain. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong, then I realized that the browser extension and tool worked flawlessly in Firefox, but not Brave.

I did install that one, and it’s pretty fun. You can even change the color of the fire and the speed of the animation.

GNOME extensions:

There are so many options! I have it on the original fire one (with the animation sped up), but I’m considering switching to the DOOM inspired one.

This is the one I saw. It’s Internet radio though.

Uh oh.

I’m sure I’ll get there, but it’s all new to me right now, so the temptation to add a bunch of nonsense is real…

Well, there a desktop PC, a laptop, and possibly an old Chromebook that I’m considering…

Whoa, this sounds like a really cool project. I think I would enjoy doing this. Thank you for telling me about it.

That sounds cool. So, could you add additional old hardware to this “pool” to use as needed? Just, like cobbled together resources to run stuff?

This might be a little advanced for me at the moment.

Haven’t heard of it before. Is it a distro?

Lol, fortunately I tend to post stuff early in the day, and my gaming time is in the evenings after getting the kids to sleep.

A mild concern I have is that my GPU on the PC I’m using for Linux is an old 770… I probably won’t be playing anything close to current. But that’s not linux’s fault.

It’s been great! Way easier than I expected it to be. I know both of our distros are supposed to be good entry points for Linux. I spent some time last night figuring out how to add GNOME extensions for customization, which was fun.

I haven’t had time to attempt any gaming on it yet since installing last weekend, but I’m looking forward to trying tonight.

Fitting that it’s being offered by The Penguin himself.

Hmm, I may edit this gif for a meme post.

This is encouraging.

“…aaalways read the hardware specs, Mr. Bluewing, sir.”

This would be a really interesting rabbit hole to go down…

Amazing. There’s a level of stubborn ingenuity that I can appreciate.
