big fat evil dragon

....(okay maybe for you it's free 💦)

Dragon Kous in his garb, the top half of it slipping down his shoulder while he fondles the loincloth part of it.

How did the saying go? Hidden something, looming dragon?

I do wonder what's hiding under there~

Anyone need a Mewtwo lap-cat? Lemme know and I'm sure we can work something out together ~ 💗

patte your art skills are unparalleled at redirecting all the blood in my body to a very specific region

i guess what matters most in this situation is which has the bigger community support, so if CachyOS has a larger support base than Nobara then I guess I'll spring for that distro instead

tomorrow i nuke windows and install linux on my daily pc, and right now I'm leaning towards installing nobara, unless someone gives me a reeeeally good reason to install cachyos instead.

quick sketchy doodle of a big anthro dragon lying on his tummy with his phone out like he was looking at it, with his big ol' butt and junk pointed at the viewer and his tail raised. he doesn't look terribly pleased about it.

this view is not free.

you will go hundreds of snaps watching forward passes and runs and returns and whatever and never see a single lateral and then one guy will do it and its like some dormant programming is activated and everyone remembers theyre playing rugby's cousin sport and decide they wanna play that instead

the funniest phenomenon in north american sports is when an american football player desperately pitches the ball to a nearby teammate as theyre getting tackled, and suddenly everyone on the field remembers 'oh shit laterals are a thing' and the ball will get pitched like six more times on the play

right now the decision is mostly gravitating between Nobara, CachyOS, and Bazzite, with maybe a lil consideration for a few others

I have rent and bills due pretty imminently so I'm reposting this to also include a qr code to my p-pal link as well because some folks told me in dms that they'd be willing to help out that way since they didnt have cash/app.
please remember not to leave any comments if there's any field for such

i also wanna be a chao :)

not a FULL solution, but they've got a page for EAC on the LVRA wiki lvra.gitlab.io/docs/vrchat/...

the VRChat devs have explicitly said they're cool with people trying to run the app on Linux and that EAC SHOULDNT go after you, but theres still occasional reports here and there

there might be useful info in here about them: lvra.gitlab.io

i havent have time to do more than very briefly skim it due to being busy, but it looks like it's got a lot of information about the current functional state of VR on Linux

one thing that made me step away from it back in the day was how few games either worked under something like Wine, or worked /well/

fast forward to today and ProtonDB tells me that like 95%+ of my Steam library is at /least/ Gold rated under Proton, if not Platinum or just outright native on Linux

second time I've seen a CachyOS endorsement today

i've been considering Mint, Pop_OS, a friend introduced me to Nobara which seems slick, I'm hearing good things bout CachyOS and hell at one point I was considering SteamOS

my knowledge of distros is very baby

Hrmmmm

I'll just see what I can get from the current state of things, I suppose

yeah the privacy invasion is fucking insane, i have a HUGE paranoia of information-grabbing so the direction windows has been going in for a few years now is awful

the only thing im a wee bit worried about is that Clip Studio Paint is kinda notoriously difficult to get working properly on a Linux install, but i've seen plenty of evidence that it'd doable with some elbow grease (and maybe a bottle)

now i've got an (undervolted) 14700kf and a 5070 so i /might/ be ok, but having a modern nvidia card on linux is another can of worms possibly lol

the big problem i understand with SteamVR on Linux is that motion smoothing doesn't work, and if your setup/hardware isnt good enough to run it smoothly without it, it becomes a motion sickness nightmare

the worst case scenario is i dualboot windows specifically JUST for VRChat stuff, which is ridiculous but, hey,whatevers necessary

but Ive been getting advice from a friend that feels pretty promising and theres also this lvra.gitlab.io

last time i had a linux system installed on a pc i owned, it was having like Ubuntu 8 installed on a hand-down work laptop from my dad back in like 2008 so it's been

a while

A big Pokemon looms over you! Sharing this shot since the new game got teased.
