I do almost daily.. To be honest I do still use #macOS it's #Windows that I haven't used in a while myself. I do get machines with it on, I just fumble around like a total n00b.

Yep crappy Chinese CDNs... Disabled now it's all hunky dory..

Need to apologize to those who had issues loading my blog on #Firefox ... It's fixed now thanks to some users on Discord, was an issue with Chinese CDN that the theme is using. Disabled them and loading animation now site should load much faster.. #FOSS #Linux #OpenSource

You are welcome. I am suddenly in a positive mood today lol...

2024-06-30 14:34:23

Let's pass along this positive message shall we ?
I just felt like posting this on my blog. Maybe helps things get better ?

last time I had a black screen was 3 years ago. If you are having issues that doesn't mean everyone is or should just coz they use nVidia. That's not to say it's perfect, far from it, it does, but so does AMD. Acting as if AMD is the pinnacle of perfection is just wrong on so many levels. Does AMD work flawless with DaVinci? Is it as powerful in Encoding or Machine learning? Just coz drivers are easier to install don't mean those issues suddenly don't exist.

Yep I love it n use it all the time. It's a neat effect gives life to Windows as tjey launch n close

2024-06-30 12:30:17

I feel like clarifying something, content creators do a thankless job too. So we need to thank them simply because without what they do, we as writers wouldn't have the live demos n explanations we might need for them Articles. So thanks to every YouTuber out there. Keep doing what you do.

2024-06-30 12:23:03

- reply

Exactly. Thanks for understanding my point of view. And my pleasure for doing it ;)

2024-06-30 12:16:29

- reply

Sorta yeah... I mean I cannot do better than what's already out there on YouTube might as well stick to text format. More fun more way I can express myself. Also I can always edit a post when doing that for a Video after the fact would be much harder.

2024-06-30 12:06:16

New day new post.

Nice. I myself do not laugh at anyone struggling on #Windows, I just remind them that in case they need something that has less issues they have either #macOS or #Linux. Help them with whatever they choose.

2024-06-30 11:40:56

I have so many posts planned for the new site it's crazy. Never felt more productive. It's so good to have found one of my true callings in this vast #Linux world. #YouTube never was my thing it seems. I will keep trying to make videos when I feel like it. But writing is where I feel more at home. Who knew? I sure didn't lol.

2024-06-30 11:34:34

- reply

Sure does.. I did not feel it go by...

2024-06-30 11:22:15

Wow!
I just noticed that I have been using #Linux exclusively for 4 years now... 6 years altogether. I don't even remember how to really use #Windows anymore lol.. Time sure flies but fast.

2024-06-30 11:12:09

The whole point of new site is to share my knowledge and discoveries not to do vs posts where they will always trigger someone out there no matter how much "proof"I provide. Just my 2 cents.

2024-06-30 08:23:46

The message in my latest post was "Use the right tool for the job". I tried my best not to show favoritism. But it's clear that when someone is convinced of something they will see favoritism everywhere. So that will be my last vs post. Thanks for reaching out anyway.

Am not gonna entertain your hatred for nVidia. Use whatever works done.

2024-06-29 21:28:18

Happy Weekend everyone..
I was recently requested I do a somewhat detailed write up on the whole #AMD vs #nVidia situaton on #Linux. So I have, check it out and let me know what y'all think... #FOSS #OpenSource

That's a recipe for disaster imo. Spreading oneself all over results in many broken tools. I follow the Unix Philosophy of do one thing do it good.

yes coz that's what I have been using for past 5 years.

Ok thanks for heads up will see where they can be found ...

2024-06-28 20:14:13

- reply

I like it too. Now am using an interactive map that tells me where missing pieces are to reveal it all. Then I need to find all keys I need. Will be a few months I feel before I can finish main story at this rate, even though bosses are easy with God mode on.

2024-06-28 20:10:28

- reply

I am, I am a Doom player I like killing everything I see to advance. It's just frustration of game not giving me a ton to work with. Having to resort to guides.

2024-06-28 20:09:06

- reply

Nahh I use guides it's just that the map is so damn huge

2024-06-28 20:08:36

- reply

Ask away... And yeah I got the whole no handholding part of that game studio

2024-06-28 20:06:16

- reply

To be honest I have spent 29 hours roaming around killing everything I see except friendlies. As for story it's all a blur coz 3 sentences per new NPC I meet doesn't give me a whole lot to work with. Very lackluster

2024-06-28 20:02:22

- reply

I have revealed 60% of main story map. Game is a neverending puzzle. And I have God mode on so not worried about bosses. I do not enable 1 hit kill coz that's too easy. Still am enjoying story. Many mentions of Erdtree in main story that's why I thought I was playing DLC

2024-06-28 20:00:17

- reply

Thanks dunno where to find them yet. I haven't revealed all the map yet..

2024-06-28 19:59:43

- reply

I am not worried for reasons that might boil your blood.. Lol.

2024-06-28 19:58:02

- reply

I am level 196 coz I spent all hours wondering around killing everything in sight and collecting $$$ and runes and stuff.. Lol..

2024-06-28 19:47:27

I have a question. I never played #EldenRing before the DLC came out, I am playing it now so do I have to beat main story before I can play DLC or can I choose to play either? Coz after 29 hours I just realized I was playing Mason game not DLC lol.

2024-06-28 16:45:56

- reply

Thanks... Yeah would be great...

2024-06-28 16:06:59

Morning/Afternoon all !
It's now official ! The #XeroLinux forums are no more... Instead we now only have our main Site. One place for everything.. We have added a section dedicated to news related to our projects. Check it out ! All posts were successfully ported over. #FOSS #Linux #OpenSource
https://xerolinux.xyz/xero-news/

2024-06-27 22:56:21

As promised, here's a post explaining my very first #Python script and how I wrote it. Took me a bit to understand it all but I promise you I have. Please do share how I can make it better. Thanks. #FOSS #Linux #OpenSource

Yeah I am well aware of that. I am very careful. Thanks for heads up though.

2024-06-27 22:05:15

Today I wrote my very first #Python script. Now it's nothing big, just one that converts forum posts to #Markdown so I can port posts to new site. Yes before you say it I did use #ChatGPT to learn how. But I was the one who did it in the end. I learned something new. #FOSS #Linux #OpenSource.

2024-06-27 21:09:58

- reply

Thanks again for noticing.. I will fix. Yeah Forum was getting stale.. Consolidating everything under one roof is much better. It's a good idea to keep y other blog alive keeping main site clean from frustrations lol

2024-06-27 18:15:35

Ok y'all..
I have added a few more posts. And I have updated the news one letting everyone know that Forums will be gone by then end of the month.. More on that here... #FOSS #Linux #OpenSource
https://xerolinux.xyz/posts/new-site/

2024-06-27 15:06:08

Ok so far 19 posts ported over around 20 remain. Will be killing forum come the end of the month.. I am hand-picking the articles I port over as some are outdated and useless now. ...

Don't think so, I am trying to convert from forum to markdown for new site that uses Hugo.. So export from forum

there will be no comments system since no one likes to comment. I will check PR thanks.

2024-06-27 08:16:02

After a great deal of thinking, I have decided to kill the #XeroLinux forums. Hower I won't do that before importing most important posts over to the new updated site. Reason am doing this, is simple, discussion forums are for discussing stuff, yet no one is, so might as well consolidate everything under one roof. What do you think?
