That sounds like a lot of hassle for someone who doesn’t want hassle.

Is the answer not “A miserable little pile of secrets”?

To be honest, I mostly play it on Windows, but occasionally launch it on my Linux laptop. My laptop is from 2012, has 4 GB of ram, and is pretty underpowered, so it’s slow, but it would probably work pretty well on a properly specced Linux computer. It’s a standard Unity game, so I suspect there shouldn’t be too many glitches or things that.

It’s a super complex game and I quite love playing co-op with my brother. It’s easy to spend hours designing all the various sub-systems of a warship only to watch it still fail against the mid-level factions.

And people wonder why I don’t even bother clicking the link

Isn’t Shapiro one of those conservative influencers, similar to Tucker or Alex Jones? Why would Kamala choose Ben Shapiro?

I know it feels as bad as Reddit

I quite like Besiege, but I’d probably have to go with From the Depths.

I found BotW pretty fun and refreshing! It was a nice change of pace from traditional Zelda.

Based on the about of Lemmy comments advocating for it, it seems like the typical voter is pretty passionate about ranked choice voting.

My guess is that “lost” didn’t mean completely gone or destroyed, but “totaled” aka damaged to the point it would cost more to fix than to just buy a new car. But “totaled” cars can often be sold for scrap, or sold to be repaired to the point where they are at least drivable, even if certain systems don’t work or there’s a risk of issues (like mold or electrical problems) down the road. Which is apparently what happened here.

Wait what’s the point of backporting to GTK2 then? And why should I as an end user care? Will it make the UI nicer?

What even is GTK2 and GTK3?

Because they care about your experience and want to ensure you’re getting the most out of your computer by suggesting helpful productivity apps?

Why not leave the defaults as-is? They’re probably set like that for a reason.

Epic is developing Hyperspace for Mac, as well as “standalone” (access Hyperspace in a web browser). Plus many hospitals use Citrix virtualization, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Linux is theoretically possible (though unlikely due to jankiness).

They specifically said they didn’t want that though.

Glad I’m on iPhone where I don’t have to worry about “launchers” and everything works out of the box.

Agreed, just glance at the linked Reddit thread and it’s refreshing how little Linux is mentioned. I’m really tired of seeing it (and related FOSS circlejerking) on every vaguely related Lemmy thread and I suspect that’s where most of the “Linux bashing” is coming from, we’re just sick of it.

I think the hurdle isn’t money but time, and yes it takes quite a bit of time to learn a new OS, figure out why your graphics card is running so slow, move your files to an external drive and back, find alternatives to the programs you use and learn their quirks and missing features, learn the difference between apt-get and snap and flatpak when programs only support one, figure out what a .tar.gz file is and how to install one (what was that chain of commands with “sudo make” in it), find tweaks and workarounds to get certain games working in Proton, and do that all again if you don’t like the distro (because Linux users love suggesting new distros)

Trying an orange is a lot easier than creating a boot USB, copying all your files over to an external hard drive, installing a new OS, fixing weird things like the graphics card having crap performance or the laptop screen brightness not dimming, learning the weird 3 letter file structure, being bogged down by apt-get vs snaps vs flatpak and adding repos (why not search and download an .exe like a normal OS), realizing that your more specialized programs don’t work, etc.

Besides, it’s not just ONE person, seeming everyone says it every time a lemon has a scratch or a blemish or too many seeds. And then they dramatize it by calling it an “abusive relationship”.
