    Depending on your profession a small team just proved that you can even fly as high as it gonna gets.

    More often than not the main problem is how our education system is set up, teaching certain topics like CAD or image manipulation with specific software from companies which “invest in education” (i.e. pay Universities and educators to create future customers for them). Adobe and Autodesk are the biggest dicks in this regard, but also Apple.

    Back to games, the general rule by now is “if it is on Steam and doesn’t have the worst anti-cheat, it usually works”. Outside of Steam you may have to tinker a little bit, but Heroic and Lutris make this easier by the week. The biggest problems more often than not are the god damn third-party launchers.





  • Without distros there would be no Linux desktop ecosystem to begin with. Also who’s to say what true value is?

    Every distro comes with people who don’t just maintain their own stuff, but contribute to the whole ecosystem. It doesn’t need to be a Debian or Arch to be worth something.

    So again, please don’t start bickering about what’s most important. It all got its place, and someone calling for donations for good thing A does not undermine good thing B. All good things need attention.








  • This. It’s a good distro to base something else on (like SteamOS), and therefore good to learn how distros work without the need to even now how software as a whole works (that would be Gentoo).

    It’s however horribly unstable, finicky and time-consuming as a daily driver as all the tiny adjustments and pre-configuration other distros make are missing by design.

    It’s good if you want to become the soldier.




  • Well yes, although with Arch Linux it’s a necessity. Most distros using apt do come with graphical software centers as well. Unfortunately many people in the community indeed do ignore those tools instead of pointing to them. Hell, some even still recommend editing the god damn fstab file despite it being perfectly manageable with both Gnome and KDE tools, which are present in most popular distros and way safer unless you really know what you’re doing. To have those on Arch you’re forced to use CLI tools first.

    It was more of a rant about the community than an argument against Arch.




  • It’s a general problem with the community in my experience. People keep saying it’s “simple”, then whip 3 terminal commands out of their pocket nobody without extensive knowledge would understand (or be able to tell if they do something wrong). They just don’t realize how much knowledge they possess in comparison, and/or how little others are interested in gaining said knowledge (not because they’re ignorant, but simply because they got other priorities in life).

    The community really needs an “injection of normies” for some people to wake up from their elitism trip.
