Okay hang on…this could be a thinly valid use for “vibe coding.”
Is the only software for a particular use case proprietary, ad-ridden, and/or subscription forced, but you don’t have time to dedicate to an entirely new project?
Quickly throw together open sourced “good 'nuff” alternatives to big corporate software!
Put their own tail between their jaws and see how they like it.
and if it bugs all you can do is wait for the devs to fix it for you.

We need a decently-hardwared Linux phone so badly…
People can do whatever they like, and heck I find CLI intimidating sometimes, but I’m always learning something new a little bit at a time.
I’m tired of seeing it in every field of interest that has any kind of payoff, whether art or FOSS.
“I’m [(almost always) a guy] who (maybe has kids and) has a job. I stopped learning anything after I got my job-paper / degree / highschool diploma. I shouldn’t have to learn anything anymore. I am happy to shell out disposable sad-salary-man money (and maybe my soul idk) to any mega-corp that offers me a “create desired outcome button” without me having to think too much. It’s [current year]! I shouldn’t have to think anymore! Therefore Linux is super behind and only for nerds and I desire its benefits so much that I leave this complaint anywhere these folks gather so they know what I deserve.”
Agh. I gotta go before this rant gets too long lol
Hey, points for Lutris! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve had issues in the past installing stuff with Lutris, although for advanced scenarios like using community engines and stuff, that’s really cool. I definitely have both installed on my machine for different reasons. Lutris handles EA / Origin stuff pretty well. (Titanfall 2 and Sims 2 Ultimate (not the Steam one) run beautifully on Linux, truly glorious!)
Electron annoys me as well, but I will say that I appreciate how Heroic hooks into GoG APIs. It handles auto-updates, cloud saving, play time logging, that kinda stuff that made Galaxy decent and had a degree of convenience-parity with Steam.
(Maybe Lutris does this too now?)
For a complete newbie , I’d say Heroic has a bit of a smoother and expected ramp to just “Download game and run.” But if you want more control, Lutris definitely has more options!
I also can’t recommend Bottles enough for other games that aren’t from distribution platforms. Shockingly simple.
Off the top of my head:
Gmail or any email: Thunderbird is pretty sweet and I need to use it more, but mostly just use the web clients anyway.
If you own GoG games, you can use Heroic Launcher instead of GoG Galaxy. It’s gotten amazingly good, really fast. :)
It was gonna be twins but they deduplicated, so conveniently the one simply holds a reference to the existence of the other one.
Honest question: I thought this limitation was the purpose of exFAT? 🤔
I don’t use it much myself though so I’m not sure.
I can’t help but try to phonetically call it “BUTTERFURSS”. O.o
That was my thought…
“Somehow they got the Plex app installed…”
Jellyfin somehow works on freaking Roku, even, and WELL. Just give the URL to connect to, they pick a profile, and boom, “Netflix who?”.
(Also, unlike Netflix, it’s not BOMBARDING my PiHole with a gazillion telemetry requests per freaking second holy crap NF calm down. It’s a treat when I have something I want to watch on my Jellyfin drives lol.)

This comment descended more into bizarre whimsical madness with every paragraph lmao.
I don’t know what to do with all that VERY specific knowledge.
Anonymously tip it to regulating authorities?
Or the news, to force a resolution and get some amusement?
Maybe I’m too much of a keyboard vigilante lol…
Yeah I find prepositional F-bombs to be annoyingly juvenile. I remember lots of people in highschool who would get a mind blank and go
“Like…fuggin… Whatever” to connect their thoughts lol.
An “um” is okay. LOL I’ve had to somewhat train this out of myself too… As my mind randomly blanks mid-thought quite often lol.
Not gonna lie before I read your handle I thought these were all named after ways of passively-aggressively clearing your throat. 😂
“error: hostname must not be left blank.” lol
I just read this as:
you’re sat in front of a CEO
the fun stops.
Agreed. Lol
“Have you been to the cloud district lately? Oh what am I saying, of course you haven’t!”
Ha! Clever and humerus!
All great, but I gotta say I’m impressed what you’ve done with Inkscape! That’s always one I’ve struggled with but really appreciate.
Would love to see what you could do with Blender’s Grease Pencil tools, if you fancy the idea. :D
