Shareholders want quick profits & they don’t care if the service shuts down in 10 years, or becomes largely unusable in 3-5.

Read the arch wiki if you are in doubt, go through manual install once for experience, follow the arch wiki guide for that too.

Arch wiki is life, YT guides are basically useless for this.

This is especially funny in South Korea. Go to a Casino and burn $2000 and you may even get jail time, but gatcha is A ok.

Improvements to the UI & lossless editing are nice, 20 years too late, but nice. Outside of that we are still 19 years behind PS, feature parity is impossible, anywhere near the same productivity is impossible :/

Feels like the foss community is a bit unlucky with gimp, there are so many truly great productivity tools outside of this one area.

Celeste has to be 1. right?

Energy costs money in China too, they still have coal plants and crazy energy cutback mandates every once in a while.

The truth of the matter is that you need the user interactions from the free model to train and that value cannot be understated and if you are playing catchup, then it’s a must. No one would use the Chinese model if it was a shit service.

This true for most people, but Calc is limiting for certain use cases.

Now give me half that performance for $150, without enforcing that whatever it’s called bar thing! (neither of these two things will happen)

Epic gave Celeste to me for free & oh boy it’s one of the best games I have ever played. Also got Ocmo on ios for free & it’s an incredible game.

The best games these days are almost all indie games, stuff about AAA & ray tracing etc etc is more of a nerd hobby fueled by the industry rather than entertainment.

Also there are many retro games that used to be AA & they are just as good today as they were 20 years ago. If you want good gameplay there are so many amazing games to play a lifetime is not enough to even scratch the surface.

New users shouldn’t be recommended to use Arch flavors.

foobar2000 is a counter example, but yeah the mobile space has none of those

Luckily duck is good enough-ish.

it’s embarrassing but for me it’s thinkfan. Instead I wrote my own solution in bash.

I don’t think it would be great for a pie hole on a gigabit connection. (if you have s slow connection then it’s good ofc)However there are use cases it’s good for. Print server, smb server, kitchen radio with Pyradio, retro gaming etc

Immutable distros like Silverblue or Bazzite are the only path I see that can work for normies. However flatpak itself has to mature more, theming anomalies need to be dealt with somehow for example.

Mint is only good to ease a technically inclined person into the linux world.

You have to reboot yes, however only once. The step where you boot into your snapshot is redundant.

You are making it unnecessarily difficult for yourself. Rolling back a snapshot that you made before the intentional messing around is less effort than rebooting twice for seemingly no reason. Booting into a snapshot is not sandboxing, it’s not an added layer of security against a malicious package.

I think he was at the very least rather gifted in some ways. Then his brain declined and then declined again and again. Substances + alcohol + covid fog + aging?

You could buy any Asus gaming mouse with user replaceable switches and order a bag of Huano silent switches from AE. (if the noise increases or the switch dies just replace the switc+h)

This is not a cheap option, but could potentially endure for a longer time.
