• distro hopping

  Pick up your Desktop Environment based on your computer's specs, NOT on your visual preferences. (HINT: XFCE consumes way less system resources than GNOME and KDE). Source: 6 months ago

• Lightweight dev tools.

  It’s a bit of an interesting challenge and has forced me to re-examine some of my tool usage. I started by a minimal install of Debian “bookworm” with the XFCE Desktop Environment which chews through much fewer resources than the default GNOME 43 based environment (although more than LXDE - but there still has to be room for aesthetics). - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

• I Still Use Windows 95 (archived, 2008)

  Luckily you can get an efficient, clean Desktop Environment that works well and is actively developed: Xfce ( https://xfce.org/ ) I think you will like it. It has a very early-2000's feel IMO. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• best lightweight linux distro for old laptop and gaming

  Well, it depends. It was better experience than FreeBSD 7.2 that's for sure. :) It was running Xorg with https://i3wm.org, a web-server, XMPP-server, PostgreSQL, few bots and dovecot / postfix (e-mail server). It was doing fine routing internet for 2PCs and a WiFi router for 10 years until its HDD died. For gaming... erm... I was able to play something like Theme Hospital or Syndicate Wars in dosbox. You have to... Source: about 1 year ago

• Only one of the four XFCE4's desktop/workspace got hung and now I can't use wallpaper

  Another resource for help might be xfce.org. It's a low traffic site, but responsive. Source: about 1 year ago

• Retry Later

  When trying to look at players or teams on dotabuff.com, I get an error "retry later". If I turn off my wifi it works fine. What happened here? Source: about 1 year ago

• 1000 hours and I still suck.

  What to buy shouldn't be an issue, just use one of the community guides and you'll have a good enough build vs trying to decide on your own. Also helpful is going to dotabuff.com and looking at recent matchup history for the hero you're playing and seeing what they build. Source: over 1 year ago

• PSA: "Expose Public Match Data" is currently "on" for everyone, for worse... or better?

  Overwolf has essentially made a number of features of stratz.com, dotabuff.com and other sites which are built around the dota 2 API completely unusable for me. I have to keep my profile private just to have a normal game of dota. So .. Till you provide an opt out option at the very least to keep my data out of overwolf, fuck you for reducing the quality of the dota experience for thousands of players, bravo.

• What is the least popular role and some good not very popular/picked heroes for that role?

  Pos5 (Hard Support): Warlock (<7% pick rate according to dotabuff.com ) - Hero doesn't need high input commands helping you focus on positioning, pulling, stacking and warding. Hero also has a Spam/wave clear (Q) makes every enemy hit by it share their damage recieved with others, Heal/Damage to help Pos1 (Hard Carry) sustain in the laning phase, an AOE Slow (E) can save or assist depending on situation but...

• Dota entry barrier

  Watch other people play. Notice things you do differently. You can search high level games by hero on dotabuff.com and dota2protracker.com. On dotabuff you can search recent ranked matches by hero and your region. If you watch a win and a loss you can usually recognize when they're using their spells wrong or buy an item that doesn't work. When you go in game try to apply what you learn. Ex. I was learning...
