- Comment on Why would I buy this? 3 days ago:
A lot of my recent experiences have been with arch and because it’s always up to date and AUR being as expensive as it is, I always seen to find an easy way to install something, even third party stuff. I’ve never hit any of the issues people have with saying an update can break your system yet, but then again I only install what I need and always uninstall stuff that I either installed accidentally or no longer need.
I tried fedora with nobara for a bit because I liked bazzite, but it wasn’t for me. I got too used to what’s available to me via arch or at least being used to know where to look for that stuff on arch vs fedora

Like I said, I play quite a bit of multiplayer games that work fine. Just not the shitty live service with awful kernel level anti cheat ones which you would never have caught me playing even back on windows.
The only notable games I know that don’t work are valorant and league because of their anti cheat, but i would never want to play them anyway. I’ve played marvel rivals on bazzite though, perfect experience, ended up running better on the same hardware than it did on windows.
I also feel like I have to fight against windows now more then ever. I currently still have to use it for work and it can be a nightmare at times. On Linux if something is wrong I can almost always find a way to fix it. Most of the time you’re shit out of luck on windows 11.

Bigwig studio is a great ableton replacement that is Linux native too. Made by some of the original team from ableton too iirc.
Theres also Reaper if you want something closer to FL studio.
I’m not into CAD stuff at the moment but I’m pretty sure there are some really good open source ones out there at the moment that are Linux native also.
I’ve not had any issues with any games on bazzite or cachyos either. Although I don’t play AAA multiplayer games with the shitty anti cheats, which i think are the only ones that don’t work now. Master Chief collection is about as close to that as I go but that works completely fine.
Keep in mind with bazzite and cachyos i also didn’t need to do any tinkering to get the games to work. They just do.

Ooo Linux mentioned?
What distro are you currently on, I’m intrigued
- Comment on Does you feel Crash Team Racing was better than Mario Kart? 6 days ago:
It’s better but it’s onboarding is worse. Figuring out the drift boosting is harder than figuring it out for Mario kart with the latter feeling love riding a bike and easy to get back into the muscle memory time and time again.
However, whenever you’ve got the feeling of how CTRs works, It feels better than Mario karts. Giving you more control and more engagement in the moment to moment.
Sometimes i bounce off CTR when coming back to it after a very long time going to just play it for a bit but fumble a bunch of drifts and feel like i can’t be arsed trying to figure it out again currently and just play something else with what little time i had currently.

Or, that taste is subjective and that there is no right and wrong. You are allowed to not like something others do.

Before i decided to ditch Chromium wholesale i originally wanted to try Vivaldi. I loved the customisation except for the strange omission of not being able to have the bookmarks bar only show on a new tab page. How is what is usually one of the only bits of customisation on a standard browser not in the browser lauded over for its customisation. Bonkers

What’s higher education got to do with it? (I’m not American if that’s not obvious by the way)

Aren’t American interns not paid, but instead “paid” with experience?
- Comment on Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions! 2 weeks ago:
Road Trip Adventure is one of my favourite racing games. It’s like Disney cars before then. You get to drive around a world doing side quests outside of races.
Driving can feel clunky and it feels really bad in the beginning, but most of it is due to the fact you start off with bad parts. As you upgrade your car the game starts to feel better and better as it goes on. Eventually you get parts to fly and go under water.
…
Also when it comes to final fantasy, there is no one place to start, each game unless a direct sequel (like X-2) they are all completely standalone. None of them are in the same world or universe. They share similar themes but that’s it.

Because it was terrifying to be in a state of nonexistence. Thinking about not having what i currently have or even the fact that I’m very much likely not even going to have a state of being where i can even remember the things i had done in my life is truly fucking terrifying to me.

My recommendations for starter OSs are bazzite if you really only care about gaming. Mint if you want a more general pc, and to learn more about standard linux-ey stuff

I miss how good of a character early pierce was. Shame that chevys behaviour made Dan write him differently as time went on.

That’s a good idea to run through it a few times before using it proper, thanks.

Ah so i might be thinking leaving a service running is worse than it actually is then?
The motherboard has two networks ports and a card with another two. There’s also some fibre ports but i imagine I’ll never end up using them haha.
I don’t actually really know much about firewalls at all yet though

Is there a cfw yet or other homebrew? Or we just at the start and they’ve just found the door in so far?
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 2 months ago:
Final Fantasy VII Kingdom Hearts II (or BBS depending on the day of the week) Persona 4 Golden
To be honest these three could be different any day of the week. I play more than just RPGs but because these are heavily story driven they stick in the front of my mind more when it comes to these questions.

Best solution would be to not use antiquated systems for testing for human consumption, a method that isn’t even that indicative of how it would react to a human anyway.

Instead you see GPUs release for the same price as, or more than, a current gen console every two years.

Them being told they’re timed exclusives isn’t really the problem being discussed though. Seems weird to invalidate a console having a game just because it’s available elsewhere. If you don’t already have a PC, a PS5 for it’s performance is way cheaper than getting the PC equivalent.
