I see your perspective. I think the difference with me is that I don’t value the cultural moment very much and more so care if the game is good aside from hype. The main exception being multiplayer games. Those mostly are active when they’re new.

The thing is you don’t actually have to look at wiki entries or any media surrounding game hype really. I have virtually no spoilers on Elden ring and I still haven’t played it.

Its honestly amazing. I keep hearing bitwig is the way to go if you want to use linux and also be happy

There are alternative DAWs but ngl they all make me sad. And some vsts are a nightmare to get running too.

But they are alot better than trying to get fl running on Linux imo. Check out zrythm if you ever have some time to kill. It sounds lile the most promising one.

If the data stays on a local device why is drm protection even necessary 🤔

Duckduckgo, kagi, and Searxng are the ones i hear about the most

I asked myself the same thing bc i read this and I’m still skeptical.

I don’t think they could present anything that would exonerate them except literal recordings proving the accuaations false. Which sucks if they’re innocent, but like i said im skeptical.

What sits wrong with me here is that one of the underlying complaints was on the basis of there being few or no other women in the workplace and it allowing for the existence of a hostile work environment. Thats not a problem that gets fixed by suing the woman speaking out on these potential issues.

I’d start watching them again if they prove consistently that they are trying to resolve the underlying issues that were brought up. Having more female representation etc. That and time.

Iirc manjaros problem is that its half arch in that it does staggered updates which doesnt mesh well with aur.

EndeavourOS handles the install so you dont have go through a complicated install just like manjaro does. But from there you basically have a barebones arch install with no staggered updates or anything. So all the kde packages should be up to date there too.

I did try manjaro forst and ditched it but i dont remember why.

I do use gnome though so take this with a grain of salt.

I can say I’ve never had a stability issue with arch though.

Distro hopping gets addictive and honestly if you’re happy with where you are i wouldnt recommend you switch anything.

Buuuuut if you’re going to do it anyways EndeavourOS. Its arch for begginers you can branch out to more complex things if you want but the install is painless and works out the box. Arch is in general VERY customizable but its a double edged sword so having guardrails during the setup is helpful.

The software developer in me hates you. You’re not wrong but still 😡

EndeavourOs makes it super simple too

Seriously how is this technology?

It is. But in your defence at this point it only matters when something goes wrong. And that’s getting pretty rare.

I think it’s why there’s such a clear divide between people who “just use Linux” and those who don’t. Modern computers hide almost all information that would let you figure stuff out on your own and Linux makes you figure stuff out like once a month.

But all that means is that your choices are more and more limited. And it’s how Microsoft is able to sneak such predatory practices into their OS. You can’t go anywhere else

It really is a shame that music production is so painful in Linux. All I need to make the final switch

Highly reccomend guilty gear strive if you like 2p fighter type games. It probably doesnt qualify as a coop but it is an amazing game to play local

Check out Ethan Chlebowski on youtube. He really dives into the whys of cooking techniques and runs alot of experiments. Learned a ton watching him

I’m sure it would have been if phones existed, people haven’t changed

I think I’d like that if there was a single winner as well. Something like to win you need to complete two objectives, one public and one secret. So other players can still work against you but they dont know what you’re trying to do.
