Okay how can you be Morrowind inspi-watches trailer well fuck.

Not that I’m complaining. Morrowind has been my number one open world RPG to this day. Nothing has come close to scratching that itch.

It will be an adjustment, but for most people it’s really not a difficult thing to get used to. Just need to wrap your head around different installation methods, different file system layouts, and just the fact that you have so much freedom available to you.

Feel free to DM me if you have any questions about adopting Linux! Even if you think it’s a stupid question.

I fucking hope they get something out of it.

If a business does an ethical thing and they benefit, it could encourage other businesses to also engage in said ethical thing.

IIRC Most major anti-cheat platforms not using kernel -level support linux these days. The SteamDeck forced their hand.

The problem is the developers. They have the ability to specifically block Linux and that’s only going to change once enough people use it. As for kernel level that’s an entirely different can of worms and I’m fine just not playing those games.

Some parts look fine, but those Ravenholm scenes look terrible compared to Vanilla HL2. Completely kills the dim, gloomy vibe that defined it when every light source is basically a floodlight.

The Switch 2 will finally allow GameFreak to leave behind their terrible N64 visuals and adopt moderate to okay N64 visuals.

Very exciting time.

I tried openSUSE a few months back because I wanted to be more closely associated with SUSE than Red Hat (I had to update to a new RHEL release at work about a year ago and really hated some of the shit they were pulling).

Here’s a list of issues I had:

• Was forced to not encrypt my system because for some reason the unlock screen rarely recognized my keyboard was connected and I couldn’t input the password. I would have to turn on the computer, then reboot at least once to get it to work.
• The absolute confusion surrounding YaST when I tried it out. The community made it sound like the best thing about openSUSE, but also don’t use it because it’s terrible. Apparently it’s being depreciated now. Don’t want to learn an entire system just for it to be removed.
• I didn’t experience any issues with this but it makes me nervous: Rolling Release + Required (for me) Community Repos. Meanwhile the standard release is slower than Fedora
• This one is a big “first world problem” but it really annoyed me. zypper, it’s one of the longest package manager names, and i can’t tab to autocomplete because there are other packages with similar names.

Now, all of these I problems I could probably fix. But it just wasn’t really worth the effort when my main issue was: “The downstream company associated with my Distro did some dumb shit that doesn’t really impact my system.”

I mean Chromium is an open source project, developers don’t have to do whatever Google demands.

I know Brave still supports it alongside their own ad-blocker, but apparently the CEO is a dick so people don’t want to use it for that reason.

Rhythmbox has been my main music app for over 15 years now. Every now and then I’ll check out other options but I always end up back after a couple days.

I do wish they would give the UI some attention. Nothing major, just a few visual tweaks to bring it inline with modern Gnome (the alternative toolbar plugin is really close)

You mentioned KDE as your preferred DE so I’d suggest the Fedora KDE spin. The Fedora team has been putting a lot of work into it lately and it’s supposedly going to be upgraded to equal footing with gnome in the next Fedora release.

…smaller communities

So like it was before the dawn of Reddit and social media?

Sign me the fuck up. I miss my dumb little websites with a dodgy layout full of terribly cropped gifs.

I respect the effort he’s put into right to repair, and agree (in general) with most of the points he makes about it.

But I also think he’s an asshole and we need a better voice for the RtR movement. I’ve seen him get into fights and strawman people on reddit as corporate shills just for calling his attitude abrasive.

This one is kind of accounted for. It’s implied there are protections that can be put in place to prevent it from being summoned with Accio.

Wait, THATS the picture he chose to have put up? The one with the weird tuft of hair sticking up in the back, where he looks like he’s holding in a massive shit and has a series of tumor like lumps on his check?

I mean, fuck. If I were Elon rich I’d have Marvel’s lead makeup artist on permanent retainer.

I get your point, however the pedant inside me wants to point out that they literally proclaimed Naked Snake “Big Boss” at the end of MGS3.

Also she was called “The Boss”.

Qobuz and 7digital have pretty good libraries and high quality downloads.
