Ew!

“we have been using Unity for the past three months.”

Ew.

You shouldn’t play Roblox.

A lot of it is just “put it in”

No.

Looks shit.

Gave FFXIV another chance, ended up in HW.

Arch has a combination of great documentation and great packaging. I use Debian on a server but for daily use, everything I need is on Arch.

AAAA dev here.

Carmack is incorrect.

Battle Royale.

It’s certainly going to be a dark age for me since I won’t be able to run it.

Thanks for the heads up. Was almost tricked into being subjected to his voice.

That’s fair.

I have a deep hatred of flatpak and so strongly disagree with this comment.

MX linux

Also try enabling sgx in bios

Have you tried this? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1411354/ubuntu-22-04-acpi-bios-error-bug

Yes you can. I do. If a software does not offer build instructions, which is rare, I just do not use it.

But we’re not talking about rolling or cutting edge distros. MX is based on Debian Stable. Also last time I checked (about a month ago) MX Linux does support Flatpak. Also also, you can enable systemd if you want, but seeing as we’re talking about a distro for complete beginners, I don’t think they’re going to notice, know, or care. Also also also, I really don’t care enough about this to drag it out into some protracted argument.

Download ventoy, slap a few distros on a usb stick, try them, use what you like.

No software worth its salt offers only flatpak installation. I don’t use flatpak at all and Blender works flawlessly. I’m not sure what a flatpak version could possibly do any better than the version I use.
