There are many different ways to define “stable”. Linux is better in some, windows might be better in others.

Linux users to Windows users with a question: “you can solve that by switching to Linux”

Linux users to that same user when they switch to Linux and have a question: “why the fuck do you wanna do that? Go back to Windows.”

Just keep in mind that there are some very different options within the Linux world and different people here will push you towards different options. The two most common and most different options are Bazzite and Mint.

While both of them can definitely work well, in my experience Mint still leaves a lot of new users unsatisfied with it. I’m yet to see any windows user complain about Bazzite, so that’s my recommendation.

Either way if you try one and it doesn’t live up to your expectations, there’s still a chance the other might.

I’m loving bluefin and I really want to go all in on the immutable stuff, but I’m having a hard time being productive on it. The devcontainers experience has been miserable (probably because I refuse to use VSCode and every other editor having poor or no support for it); I also had SElinux fuck me up when trying to build some complex dockerfile from a project at work (something that was supposed to just work took me two whole days of debugging - and I even managed to break bluefin’s boot process when I tried to mess with the SElinux configuration. This one was mostly due to my own inexperience with SElinux, combined with there being a lot less content on the internet about fixing stuff on immutable distros compared to traditional ones).

I’m using it as my main gaming distro now but I still have it break sometimes. Mostly due to Bluetooth stuff, but I also need to shut down the pc completely whenever I leave it running on its own for a while because it just doesn’t wake back up if it sleeps - and I always forget to look into that after turning it back on.

May he never watch the Monster anime.

I don’t even want to imagine what is going to be the price for it here in Brazil. After the ps4 launched for nearly $2000 I haven’t even looked at any console retail prices here again.

If every game had patented everything that they came up with, we probably wouldn’t have reached 1000 total games by now.

Some early game would probably patent “revealing more of the world as you move horizontally/verrically” and we would probably be confined to a single screen for every other game for decade.

Then some other game would patent “using an input source to move a gun’s aim/targetting on the screen” and we would never have had any fps. A “first person view” would probably be patented soon too. Leveling up? What a cool concept that I wish more than one game ever used.

At best, companies would all be paying licenses to each other for all of those mechanics - just like it works on hardware today where Samsung (for example) for a long time made a ton of money out of their main competitor’s sales. And games would probably be so expensive that a lot of them could even have their own dedicated hardware made specifically for them, without affecting the final price that much.

Modern day Nintendo would surely enjoy that. They could make gimmicky hardware for specific games and simply call it a toy. Games like Guitar Hero would probably only be playable on toy guitars (as some other game would’ve already patented translating basic inputs into something rhythm related).

In a way I could see some pretty cool games being invented for a while in this parallel reality, with the patent restrictions forcing people to think of new stuff like the hardware restrictions used to do last century - but we would never had Stardew Valley, Minecraft, Rimworld, Factorio, Dwarf Fortress and 99% of the most beloved games out there.

I would do 720 + 3 * 70 + 3 * 2

Is that how it is these days? If I log with my Microsoft account on a Windows device, the username used is only part of my first name. It always annoyed be that it was cut in a very unnatural way and I had no way to change it. I searched for some way to fix it and what I found said it was auto generated way back in the first time I used it on a windows pc and that it was saved in my account in some attribute that nothing ever updates.

I don’t know about high refresh rates, but multiple 4k screens was a pain point in 2023 and it’s a complete non-issue in 2025.

Call of duty is a Microsoft game now.

I actually pay extra to my internet provider for a fixed ip so that I may have a privilege of being permabanned

I do like the work Microsoft has done with typescript itself, but more and more I’m seeing they are trying to tie up the language to VSCode, treating other editors as “second class citizens” for it and that has started to make me reconsider things.

You can import it on an alternative like gitlab. The process of moving something from github to gitlab is just as smooth as if everything was contained in the repo itself.

But at least Niantic always identified itself as a data collection company and not as game developers.

“Damn users trying to comment on stuff. Just shut up and keep scrolling instead. Our bots can handle the comments.”

Anti-cheat is software made to prevent cheating. In order for it to be effective, you basically have to surrender control of everything in your computer to the Anti-cheat software and just trust that they won’t fuck you using that.

Last year for example, an Anti-cheat software got hacked and it installed cheats into player’s computers.

Oof, this update made the editor nearly unresponsive while the game is running in debug mode. Even clicking on the stop button takes a few seconds.

Just installed it here. Setup process was not as smooth as I had hoped but nothing beyond what I’m already capable of fixing on my own.

Ended up nuking windows with it (with no backups) as it didn’t have an option to keep it without manually setting up every partition. Hope I won’t miss it.
