  • Honestly, good on you for taking accountability on it and editing it.

    It’s the “time and place”, I feel— there’s loads of dank 9/11 memes online with (relatively) positive reception, but I think it just would’ve faired better in a community better suited for that kind of humor.

    But regardless, as with any tragedy, the joke will still miss for many people. I mean, many of the families affected are still alive, and anyone older than 30 probably remembers when they heard the news.






  • Right up front two major issues with Linux:

    1. No standard UI - it’s different on every system

    2. No standard tools - you can’t rely on the same tools being on every machine

    These seem like pretty fundamental traits, since Linux is only the kernel. I think a better way to compare other OSs to Linux would be comparing them to specific Linux distros, since those often do have standardized installs.

    But there’s not really a great answer for which distro or distros should be used to represent the whole linux ecosystem… and that fragmentation has both pros and cons.

    Like, I really love my Arch desktop, but it took lots of time to learn and configure. And it often breaks with updates— it’s not something most users would want. However, I get cutting-edge updates and features, and I have specialized my entire OS to best work for my workflows.







  • I can’t speak to all systems or configurations, but my desktop is Arch-based with the Nvidia 535 driver (a few versions old, I’m still waiting for the explicit sync driver support), I run the game through Xwayland (no gamescope), and I’ve been using protonge 9-2 as the compat tool. The game runs really smooth in my experience, and on protonge 9-2 I don’t have issues switching windows/workspaces.

    I do run the game in exclusive fullscreen— I recall the window having a single white pixel border in borderless fullscreen.
