  • I like it a lot. The initial move was predicated by working in the entertainment industry and all the shows coming through our theater needed qlab.

    But after that I started using it for personal use. I was unable to move my photoshop cs6 license over because I have been unable to get a copy of it in 64bit. But I have since switched to affinity. It has a steep learning curve, but I mostly use it for graphics for my shop so it does what I need it to do.

    I have been using libre office since forever, that moved over with me.

    Before getting my MacBook Pro I was doing most of my gaming on my ps5, so I am not missing a lot there. But most of the games I do play are available on the Mac (No Man’s Sky, FF14, Palia, mudlet, Apico, Mudborne).

    When I connect a monitor it works, when I connect a TV through my 4x4 matrix it works.




  • Wdym with linux can be broken?

    Linux mint kept harassing me to install the official drivers for my wireless card, so I did. It broke my ability to use WiFi.

    I told Linux while in presentation mode I did not want the screen to sleep, it took that as sleep after 5 minutes.

    Every time the laptop sleeps/restarts my screen resolution is borked, half the time the correct resolutions are not available and I have to disconnect all my monitors, restart, then connect the monitors.

    Most solutions I hear are use a different distro, learn command line, you should not be using Linux if you cannot fix this stuff.

    That is what i mean when I say Linux can be broken.








  • I own an LGS and during covid I had a lot of “paying it forward” and it created a LOT of extra work for me for very little pay out.

    I had a friend from high school who now lives 2200 miles away. He purchased a game through my online shop and instead of shipping it to him he had me give it to someone local. That person bought a game, and did the same thing. This went on for two weeks or so. Everyone wanted me to do some kind of contest for their game. I was putting in 2-3 hours of work for $20 or so. After two weeks or however long it was, I gave up. I told the last person who bought it I gave it to a random person.

    This was all during the lock down so I could not even be open at the time. I had to hand deliver the prize around town, or set up a place for them to pick it up. I loved the idea of it all, but it was not worth it on my end at all.
