- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 2 weeks ago:
I would say don’t overthink the distro. Just about any distro will provide nearly the same performance in gaming, some will just pre-install drivers that you could just install manually. Proton takes care of just about everything automatically anyways.
I enjoyed installing arch as it was a learning experience, and I learn more every time I install it on other machines. But Ubuntu would probably be just fine and has a ton of documentation, and a healthy community to provide support.
I think a lot of Linux newcomers get stalled on this choice because the options are overwhelming. There are so many choices. But at the end of the day once the installation is over, the experience will be almost the same as another distro with the same desktop environment.
If you want to run Linux, choose an distro that is easy to install and just dive into it. If you like tinkering with computers then you will love running Linux.

Why wait? Linux has never been better. I have tried to daily drive various distros for the better part of a decade and have just recently (about a year ago) settled in Arch and have never looked back.
- Comment on EA's Skate Gets Microtransactions Before Its Release Date 5 weeks ago:
How is this news? This news the plan all along, they were quite vocal about it. Free to play games are always funded by mtx.
I know this is an unpopular opinion here but I think the game looks dope, having followed development since the beginning. The animations look sick and I’m always there for another skateboarding game. I just won’t buy any skins.

This is exactly how we roast our broccoli too. It’s excellent.
- Comment on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater teases new announcement with countdown 1 month ago:
Yeah thps 1+2 is a remaster of the first two games that came out a few years ago. It’s actually quite good and about 100x better than thpshd which came out a few years before that (also a remaster of the first few games).
I’m guessing the countdown is for a remaster of a later game or games in the series.

Honestly I think that reels in general are toxic to mental health. I say we just move on.
- Comment on Pie Adblock called out for copying uBlock Origin code • The Register 3 months ago:
I read that as pi hole and was confused because pi hole is licensed under the European Union Public License (EUPL) which I’m pretty sure can copy from GPL with attribution. Also they both block ads in very different ways.
Anyways isn’t it also weird, then, that there is an extension called pi blocker? Or pie blocker?

Yes totally.
And why do I have to 2FA on my phone? It’s not 2F when it’s the same device.
- Comment on Researchers uncover critical vulnerability in Microsoft's Multi-Factor Authentication, allowing attackers to gain access to user accounts such as Outlook emails, OneDrive files, Teams chat, and more 3 months ago:
MS Auth has got to be the worst 2FA I’ve ever used.
My workplace has it set up where I have to input a second factor several times a day on each device. It’s agonizing.

- Comment on Nintendo Direct announced for June 18 at 7 AMPST 9 months ago:
Yeah, that’s a good point but I am very skeptical that Nintendo roms are going to be lost forever. Some of the popular sites are getting hit, but this has been happening for decades. Soon enough there will be a new site that makes it easy, and there will always be Usenet and private trackers that are far more robust.
- Comment on Nintendo Direct announced for June 18 at 7 AMPST 9 months ago:
While this is true I would recommend choosing just a few of your favourite games from each console, in which case you can probably fit your all time fav games from every Nintendo console on a 256gb SD card, and probably a 32GB for all you faves pre Wii.
As someone who has an overwhelmingly large ROM library, I often find I have nothing to play because my library is too large.

Because their games are so good. There is no denying that Mario games are incredible platformers with super tight controls and any Zelda game is going to be a good adventure at the very least.
That’s why pirate then, anyways.
