I've been a linux guy since 1996. It's also my job. I'm not sure what type of linux scene you're looking for, but there's a lot out there. Have you installed virtualbox and a linux distro to have a bit of fun?

Facebook can see everything, they would never need to be on your friends list.

I have used virtual box a few times and on Manjaro it ran like shit and the site reported it's a but with the guest additions on sharing files and I refuse to use a usb stick to cut and paste since workarounds are bullshit to me. So virtualization on b450 tomahawk max is shitty as hell and some non vbox programs even act up on it. Sorry but between wine and virtualbox both my last 2 setups were shit.

I liked the problem solving for the newbs and the people showing off their new installs of shit that just released or not so well known linux distro's, one guy did daily installs of new stuff, he was bored and retired so it made him happy and gave him a purpose. The administrator on one of the groups also was the COO of Fossbytes and he helped many people out with some extremely tough problems they were having with their systems not booting or crashing for no reason, guy was a real information machine.

Virtualbox VMs are pretty slow if they aren't configured for performance. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is pretty nice for a constantly updated distro. It's really strong with KDE, if you like KDE.

Sounds like that group is hard to replace, I guess that's the nature of great communities, part of it is the good memories.

Main performance boosts in VB are:

Chipset: ICH9 Paravirtualization interface: minimal Graphics Controller: WMSVGA (max video memory: 128, or by hand in the config: 256) Storage Controller Type: virtio-scsi Networking Adapter Type: virtio-net

The rest can be recommended by Virtualbox.

I used KDE twice to give it a chance last year, well the last time I clicked on a theme to see it bigger. Then I wanted to leave to the theme regular area, no back button at all. I closed the theme area and went back and opened it and it was back to the detailed part for that theme. I literally had to reboot to get the program to run normal again then later I did it again forgetting or thinking it was a one time thing, same thing. KDE is out now. I'm looking at either LXDE or LXQT for my next trial run on a desktop since I never tried either of them or tried one on a distro that wouldn't boot to live or wouldn't install or wouldn't show a login screen which for linux is far to common lately.

As for the settings all but the minimal interface, older need a larger interface and the last time I tried I was only given 3:4 resolution options for my hdmi tv which really pissed me off. I did give it 16gb of ram and 4 cores of my cpu and 256gb of vram so I wasn't conservative at all in the resources area for the emulation and it still as a pain in the ass.

I think most of the problem is the amd motherboard itself and the fact I just found out my battery died on the motherboard that might be a factor thought I never shutdown after the install on it at all. I think once my batteries get delivered I'm going to have a much better fast system.

I never occurred to me that the batteries might be almost gone when I bought this new around 6 months ago but thinking about it the way tech is jimmy rigged to run that there may be more than the bios that depended on a strong battery or the bios was storing a setting or 2 that I wouldn't have thought would be stored there since I've had installs that run super fast but after I do a first reboot they slow down and likely attributed it to something in the update after install or the new kernel.

I know they can but they can ask you leading questions and shit and possibly since I don't put a company I work for down trick you into revealing it so they can get the Trump supporter fired just for the fuck of it and have their fag bragging points on Facebook that they tricked some idiot into chatting and they got them fired. There are also other reasons why people try to do shit like that, they have an agenda then they have their personal being an asshole to someone they don't even know agenda.

Oh I'm sorry, I understand now. Completely agree, future isn't looking very easy.

It's cool you kind of really had to see all the people like 25 year old hotties. What the fuck would they want with an old fart like me since I sure wouldn't pay for sex or coke the other direction seemed the most likely as in a setup for unsaid reasons which I took as a vocal Trump supporter as an obviously other motive.

There was this guy I just added without checking when he replied to a post of mine, no picture for his profile. I found out Africa later after immediately asking me to marry his sister. He was dumped and blocked immediately.
