What’s a piece of advice you got as a kid that still sticks with you? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] FarrellPerks@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago

I know this is anecdotal, but I've seen the inverse of this numerous times personally - In fact I've had colleagues offer to take difficult shifts for me without me asking as they knew I was having difficulties in the family.

Not everyone is out for themselves.

Appreciate the heads up, ended up making the switch to Bazzite anyhow and I'm currently enjoying it a lot.

Made the switch - A thanks! (feddit.uk)
 

Hello all,

I posted recently here asking for advice switching to Linux from Windows, and wow there was a lot of really great advice.

I'm mostly writing here to thank everyone in this community for taking the time, it was a world of help and I've managed to get myself setup with very few difficulties.

I ended up going with Bazzite, and can play like 95% of my gaming library so I'm pretty happy there. No league of legends but honestly that's probably a net positive for my mental health.

I'm having difficulty getting docker desktop setup but I'm sure I'll figure that out, had a lot of shit containerised before. But yeah, whole point of the post - Thanks people, you're awesome.

Looking to make the switch - Advice? (feddit.uk)
 

Afternoon all.

I'm looking to make the switch away from Windows, and I wondered if people had any advice, distro suggestions and so on.

My main use cases for my PC are Gaming, Writing and Image editing. Things I'd love to have working are all my games, Epic, Steam, GoG and Game pass. I already use OpenOffice so I'm probably fine with that. And I currently use Photoshop, so a good alternative for that would be good. Finally Spotify, Discord and VPNs etc

Any and all help and suggestions would be welcomed, thanks in advance.

Thinking of making the switch away from Windows and I've been looking at Bazzite as an alternative since I game fairly frequently.

Does anyone know if there is a way I can play my game pass games if I switched?

Love that for us...

I suppose they've had the chance to test a lot during their genocide in Palestine.

Can't help but wonder why we aren't looking towards someone like Ukraine or Independent UK contractors.

Has anyone had experience buying high end phones from CeX? in c/askuk@feddit.uk
[–] FarrellPerks@feddit.uk 1 points 6 days ago

Never, to be honest I hadn't even considered that. Their warranty would likely cover that. I think it's 2-3 years default?

Can't speak for your exact case - That being said, every phone I have ever purchased has been from CEX (£300-£600) and the one time I had an issue, it was replaced by CEX within a week of my complaint, no questions asked.

Their B products are almost mint condition as well, if you're looking to save a few quid that way.

I hate that we're still protecting these monsters with our language.

It's less 'Fuck the British' and slightly more 'Fuck the English government' but also not really that either.

They came to Wales, robbed us of our language (As best they could - Check the Welsh Not if you're interested), robbed us of our resources, and now they give us scraps from a table that was never built for us, as we're shackled to the bloated corpse of a long dead empire.

We want out.

I completely missed the point it would seem, appreciate the enlightenment.
