That’s a really dismissive way to say “It’s an OS built to fit a demand that wasn’t being met by the other distros”.

Bazzite is the option for Windows converts that want a gaming focused Linux desktop. A lot of people are going to nitpick it to death, because they want “Literally Windows but without Microsoft”. Which isn’t happening while Linux has the market share it has. You either accept a few annoyances (while advocating for those annoyances to be fixed), or go back to Windows and accept Microsoft’s authoritarian control of your computer.

Bazzite is a solid desktop that’s going to be really hard for a regular user to break, comes with Steam, Lutris, and Heroic built in, proprietary nvidia drivers installed, and is based on Fedora (Modern, stable, well supported).

The only downside is KDE can be really easy to break if you’re a new user unfamiliar with how customizing it works, but if you leave it default you’re fine.

The biggest issue among the Shenmue community was that it left us in another fucking cliffhanger. Seriously. Yu. I love how dedicated you are to your vision…but this is getting annoying.

Most of the other criticisms were about how slow and plodding some things were…which is someone a lot of us liked about Shenmue.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

Arguing against servers because you want match making is like arguing that you hate McDonalds serving Cheeseburgers because you want Chicken nuggets.

The amount of time I’ve spent playing online games has fallen off a cliff after forced matchmaking, particularly SBMM. They’ve legitimately ruined my enjoyment of games.

I got into Overwatch for a bit, but the SBMM meant that at lower levels it was basically a coin flip if I would get a team that wanted to play as a team, or a bunch of kill whores who only cared about their K/D ratio. I don’t want to have to drop hundreds of hours int mastering the game just to have actual teamwork.

Won’t hear me knocking it. Stellar OS. I just wish Linux compatibility was a smidge better. There’s still a handful of programs that don’t run well.

Now that I think about it, I believe Slackware actually uses a BSD style init if you want to try and bridge the gap. It’s been eons since I used it so not 100% sure

It really depends on what init system you want to learn.

Right now, you’re learning BSD init. Which is not the same as the non-sysd init systems in use on Linux. Perfectly fine system mind you and they share some overlap with their Linux cousins.

As much as a very vocal subgroup hates to admit, systemd is a pretty core aspect of modern Linux.

That said if you really want to learn an alt init system gentoo lets you pick, and I think Slackware is still sans systemd.

Oblivion.

Daggerfall was awesome and Morrowind blew me away. Going into Oblivion I had the highest hopes. Bought the Collectors Edition, took the day off…and biggest disappointment from a game ever. Granted I like Skyrim. Not as much as Daggerfall or Morrowind, but far more than Oblivion. So I guess it didn’t kill the franchise for me.

Bonus popular game that actually killed the franchise for me: GTA4. I loved the Trilogy, but I could not stand IV. All the main characters annoyed the piss out of me, the driving and gun play weren’t nearly as fun…I tried to play it but got burned out around 1/3rd of the way in. Tried to play GTA5 a few years ago and I felt burned out after 40 minutes.

If you mean that video where he talked about getting $12 for 80 million streams…he was very clearly taking the piss.

He made closer to $200k, which is still pretty low (hence, the joke) and doesn’t account for his labels cut.

Yes, Qobuz is significantly more mainstream than BandCamp. I don’t know if the catalogue is on par with Spotify or AM or whatever, but most popular music is on it.

Bandcamp is like an indie zine that occasionally ships with a burned CD from a local band that has to live in the same rented house with no A/C and a half empty bottle of makers mark in the fridge.

Qobuz is a record store.

Amazing tool but sadly abandoned and slowly getting more and more unstable and difficult to build

The better options:

• Stapler (which also hasn’t been updated in a few years) is a version implemented in python
• pdftk-idk is a slightly more active implementation in java

The Document Foundation doesn’t actually employ developers. They just oversee and manage the development and direction of LibreOffice.

I’ve spent about $125 on this game, and I would definitely get pissed if I bought in for all the promises they made.

However, I bought just to have a really pretty “Fly around in space while exploring my spaceship and listening to music” experience. It’s a vibe game. If they took out all the combat and lofty goals and just focused on making a really dope spaceship sim (with all the ship management, repairs, etc that they’ve promised) I would probably lose my life to it.

I thoroughly support advancing the causes of feminism and women’s rights across the world, and would happily listen actively to what she has to say.

But also Emma is pretty fucking hot. And that fit looks good on her.

Problem is that if you have a critical application (like banking) that relies on Google services you’re SOL.

It’s Apple or Google at that point.
