For me it’s easily the latter.

chunkystyles@sopuli.xyzto Linux@lemmy.ml•The wonderful world of Linux package managersEnglish9·vor 4 TagenThere’s a good deal of misinformation here. The main part being disk space. While it is true that flatpak apps will take up more space, it’s not nearly as bad as you think it is. There is a lot of really good optimization going on under the hood that you don’t see. Dependencies are de duplicated. I’m no expert on it, but I believe that dependencies also have delta changes from one version to the next.
Regarding apps not supporting building of the source, you should get over that or do the work of supporting it yourself. Open source is a hard, usually thankless job.
chunkystyles@sopuli.xyzto Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S.English11·vor 5 TagenWhile the Switch 2 has better hardware, that’s only a tiny piece of the value proposition. The Deck is leagues better in value. I guarantee it will be able to play new release games for another 10 years. You can’t say that for the Switch 2. It won’t be able to play all of the new releases, sure, but thousands more than the Switch 2.
And that’s not to mention the tens of thousands of games the Deck can play now that the Switch 2 will never be able to play.
The truth is that hype and FOMO are powerful drugs that push gamers to constantly shell out their hard earned money to chase the newest things.
And, to an extent, I get it. There is something to be said about playing games when they come out and experiencing that moment with other gamers. There’s a sort of fraternal feeling about it.
But if you can step back from that and be patient, you can play all the games you have time for and not play into their trap.
chunkystyles@sopuli.xyzto Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S.English1·vor 5 TagenThat’s part of the issue, though. Sometimes they sell trash for high prices, too. Sometimes they sell the same game across three console generations and increase the price.
There are way more issues with Nintendo than just whatever your beef with Smash is.

chunkystyles@sopuli.xyzto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Kitfox Games: "Dwarf Fortress has surpassed 1,000,000 sales on Steam!"English4·vor 6 TagenI fucking teared up when Tarn smiled and showed the camera his secret in the final episode.
They’re all such sweet and genuine people who deserve to be happy.
chunkystyles@sopuli.xyzto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Every immutable distro right nowEnglish1·vor 6 TagenYou can do tons of personalization on immutable distros. It just doesn’t work the way you’re used to. I use Aurora and it’s an excellent tinkerer’s OS.

chunkystyles@sopuli.xyzto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It always seems like its time to move to linuxEnglish1·vor 11 TagenI had win 8.1 for a long while. It really wasn’t bad. Win 11 is what finally pushed me away from Windows.
chunkystyles@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()English2·vor 11 TagenComments shouldn’t explain code. Code should explain code by being readable.
Comments are for whys. Why is the code doing the things it’s doing. Why is the code doing this strange thing here. Why does a thing need to be in this order. Why do I need to store this value here.
Stuff like that.
Worth noting that people also do this to themselves voluntarily.
chunkystyles@sopuli.xyzto Linux@lemmy.world•Great take on "Why don't more people use Linux?"English3·vor 12 TagenI did the same thing for my wife. She lives almost exclusively in the browser. I put her on the same atomic OS I’m using, and for her the experience is pretty similar to her previous Chromebook.
chunkystyles@sopuli.xyzto Linux@lemmy.world•Great take on "Why don't more people use Linux?"English7·vor 12 TagenI was a Windows user for around 30 years and loved it. But I got so frustrated with Windows that I switched. My computer didn’t feel like I was the one in control of it anymore, and I hated that.
I’m very happy on Linux, now.
chunkystyles@sopuli.xyzto Linux@lemmy.world•Great take on "Why don't more people use Linux?"English1·vor 12 TagenI’m sure I would like Bazzite on my Deck. But I don’t use it a ton and Steam OS works fine. So I’d only install Bazzite if I was bored and wanted a project.
chunkystyles@sopuli.xyzto Linux@lemmy.world•Great take on "Why don't more people use Linux?"English12·vor 12 TagenJorge Castro of Universal Blue (Bazzite, Bluefin, Aurora) likes to say that normal people don’t install operating systems. And he’s totally right.

chunkystyles@sopuli.xyzto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Russians are now assaulting in GAZ-69 vehicles, a Soviet relic made from 1953 to 1973.English71·vor 12 TagenIf you value your life, you shouldn’t drive a 50 year old car. They are death traps in accidents.
I’d been a Windows user for around 30 years and I’d probably qualify as a fanboy. I’m sure I hit all seven stages of grief to some extent over Windows’ enshittification.
But switching to Linux has given me all the good feelings about my computer. So I’m good now.
