  • I think so too actually if you’re looking to learn the basics.

    Arch has very little actual “distribution” in its system (mostly pacman and mkinitcpio) and the former is a glorified tar with a database, and while it can run scripts, you’re expected to configure and set up everyone yourself using the upstream tools, and these usually come vanilla

    I daily drove it for 15 years before I switched so it’s not like Arch is insured for that. But if you want to learn the basics of modern Linux it’s a good choice





  • Sometimes I think that I’d like to buy a new PC

    then I remember that the majority of my hours played is on titles that don’t need a better PC

    This isn’t the 90s / 2000s when games were scarce and you needed to upgrade to have something to play because new stuff was so much better. There are tons of very good games out there that will most likely run on everything.

    Good games I played recently-ish:

    • Balatro (casual 600 hours total)
    • Noita (maybe 500 hours though you wouldn’t be able to tell because I suck)
    • Guacamelee! (actually from my backlog)
    • Animal Well
    • Clover Pit
    • Cuphead (another backlog title)
    • Opus Magnum
    • Baba is you

    None of this means that no good game requires good hardware, but there are lots of good titles to enjoy on absolute potatoes







  • The hope wasn’t that the game would dominate the existing FGC, but that the IP would have such a massive pull that it would expand the FGC so much (and in the longer term, make the players be l branch into other games in the genre).

    I don’t know what Riot expected, the genre is niche and from what I’ve heard, the game wasn’t very accessible in the first place, basically trading old hard stuff against new one (not that me being on Linux could have tried it myself), so yeah. My league friends didn’t even try it

    And say what you want about SNK and their Saudi money, there’s a lot of valid criticism, but CotW is probably the best-supported and fairest game currently out.

    Fuck the Saudis and Ronaldo though


  • Often times when there was a big new update for GNOME, I’d try it out, decide I still don’t like the concept and go back to plasma.

    I don’t get the appeal of that desktop. Even the tiniest changes need gnome-tweaks? Why isn’t that stuff part of the base settings? But ok. You can’t ungimp GNOME. The usage concept is baked into it. Fine. But why?

    I mean there must be people who want this and nothing else, otherwise people wouldn’t use it.
