Thanks. I was planning on just going to Mint, but I may go for Bazzite instead by the sounds of it.

ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it realistic to hope that lemmy grows to the size of the bigger social media platforms?6·6 hours agoAbout 5 million people is good. I was on Digg as it grew and became shit. I was on reddit as it grew and then became shit. Once the active user base goes over ten or fifteen million people, things start going down hill. Advertisers and bots and mods that can’t keep up and too much outside press and governments mentioning the platform with unwanted attention.
Right now things are OK for general news and info, but not big enough for more unique communities. Like I can’t go to a community within lemmy to find another thousand+ people all about yo-yo’s, but reddit has r\throwers with over 40k subscribers so I can go this “stout guy” show me how to do a new trick.
I’ve kinda been putting off switching to Linux until the steam OS goes to desktops more officially, since it’s pretty close to just being used as a gaming rig, but I’m running out of patience. I had Ubuntu for a while like 15 years ago.
How are the drivers for a 1060 GPU?

ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deBanned from communityto Chronic Illness@lemmy.world•Living With FibromyalgiaEnglish18·7 days agoWeight has very much to do with it, as most patients diagnosed world wide are overweight or obese, and all studies done that I’ve seen show a link between increasing weight and severity of symptoms. Also, as I’ve already stated in this thread, the Mayo Clinic recommends treatment consisting of diet, exercise, weight loss, and stretching.
You can call it victim blaming if you want. I don’t know anything about OP other than they wouldn’t answer the weight question. For OP it might be completely not their fault, but it could be their own doing.
If I jump off a house and break my leg I’m not going to blame gravity. If I drink a 12 pack of mountain dew a day and develop type 2 diabetes I’m not going to blame the soda. Sometimes you’re a victim of yourself. Odds are that how OP feels is because of OP, because odds are they’re overweight and don’t regularly exercise.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deBanned from communityto Chronic Illness@lemmy.world•Living With FibromyalgiaEnglish111·7 days agoIf their chronic illness is because they’re fat and eat poorly, is it not their fault? All those doctors that always suggest for you to exercise and eat right aren’t saying it to just blow smoke up your ass. Go to the mayo clinics own website and look up treatment for fibromyalgia. It’s literally eat healthy, stretch, exercise, and get appropriate amounts of sleep. It’s generally a self caused illness, like most cases of type 2 diabetes.
Sorry if you want me to be nice about it or pretend it’s just bad luck for the person or be like “oh no, they can’t find any medicine that works to help”, but maybe they just need to hear the hard truth of it. If they want to get better, the8r isn’t a magic pill they should be looking for or something out of their control to blame. Diet and exercise. You didn’t and now you hurt. You want to stop hurting and physically and mentally feel better, you’ll have to actually put in the effort.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deBanned from communityto Chronic Illness@lemmy.world•Living With FibromyalgiaEnglish111·7 days agoFibromyalgia is a recent catch-all word for general aches and pains and fatigue that is only common (but not exclusively) in fat people, when no other causes can be found. The general cure for it is diet and exercise. The things fat people avoid. In other words, it’s usually a symptom of a poor lifestyle. With exceptions, of course.

I really thought that particular card would get patched in. It was so popular and a lot of machines from that timeframe aren’t win 11 supported.
