OK Linux folks. With #KDE hitting 29 years old, I'm curious about switching my gaming PC from Windows 11 to KDE. The games I play are listed on ProtonDB as being gold or platinum, so I think I'm good as far as gaming goes, but I have some other software concerns.

What do y'all use for cloud file storage/syncing?

What do you use for image editing/creation?

Where can I find out if my Razer Leviathan and HyperX mic will work on KDE?

Nextcloud isn't just a storage any more. It's a platform for integrated apps. I cover a lot of things with it: files, calendars, contacts, tasks, document editing, photo albums, password manager, RSS reader, notes taking... If you don't prefer selfhosting, Hetzner provides it for ~€5/TB/month.

GIMP has improved, but its UI isn't radically different from what it was 20 years ago. There are other editors. Just "I need exactly Photoshop and Light room" doesn't work.

Looking at a thing that came across my feed, I don't understand why I would need or want a StellerTrek for anything. Apparently, it is an AI-driven GPS and OCR device. These kinds of things were useful before the days of smart phones, but, nowadays, my phone has both a gps (or "jeepies," as my phone's TTS was randomly pronouncing it for a few days while I was in Europe)and a camera, so I can't see the point of these specialty blindness devices anymore.

Scientists Confirm Widespread Microplastics in Milk and Cheese

Microplastics have now made their way into one of the most unexpected places: dairy. Scientists in Italy found plastic fragments in milk, fresh cheese, and aged cheese — which they believe are introduced during production and processing.

Linux oh Linux, you're making me Run windows 7 for a Mastodon client that plays sounds for events, oh why so must this be. Really want to warm up to this land of Linux but I'm thinking more and more, maybe I'll have to settle with Windows 10 forever. Some of you who know me a bit more personally from 2016 might recall when I used to say that. All the time, Windows 10 forever! Oh wow how I never thought the truth of that statement might one day shine through and not for the reasons that we were marketed at the time, mainly that it really would be the last version of Windows. No wit's because Windows 10, in its final form, still uses aprox 300-400 MB less RAM, and while RAM in of itself isn't the problem these days, it's that it spins up a bunch of broker and even more SVCHost (Service control host) processes, just to accomplish what Windows 10 did. And yes, the same could be said For windows 7 to 10: Windows 7 can fit into 500 or less MB of memory, with very few SVCHosts, because at the time, the entire Onecoreification (yes, that's pronounced one-core-eefication) of the OS had not yet happened. That my friends, was all after Windows 8, and I'd say by 8.1 we had doubled the Ram, from that of Windows 7. But you know what? Nobody cared, because not many ran Windows 8.X, so people just accepted Windows 10 with these higher process usages.
Linux? Well the number of services you run are on you, really. If you want 1 GB of Ram, install Mate and it's good. Monday rant over!
