I would hope, but on the whole you’d almost think they deliberately purged home computing from the mainstream consciousness, with how tragically ignorant the average person is about anything that isn’t a little poke-driven rectangle that screams at you all day.

So that’s the secret! When I first noticed this happening I thought I was a little bit crazy lol.
So far I’ve heard Marvel Rivals is pretty based. Good on them! That’s awesome. :)
Great to know!
Both games I really want to play. For some reason I thought Marvel Rivals didn’t do kernel-level? I’m likely wrong haha.
But I loved the original Helldivers. I just really don’t want to have to install a “just trust us, bro” rootkit to enjoy the clearly excellent sequel. :(
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed player here with an Nvidia 3000-series GPU.
Gaming with Steam, GoG (Heroic Launcher), and even disc games installed with Bottles has been a smooth experience with VERY few if any tweaks or fixes needed.
Except for VR (where Monado is making strides!) we are THERE. I’d highly encourage trying it out these days.
Unless you gotta play the latest AAA hyper-competitive monolithic server games with kernel level anti cheat but…at that point might as well have a burner PC. X_X lol
I mean IDK maybe they mean the “freedom of Windows” compared to like, some bastardized Android sometimes found on third party “gaming handhelds”?
Lol
Well that’s a cooler slogan at least compared to the retro one, how’d it go…
“Live in your world, play in our walled garden locked behind a PSN account that might suddenly withdraw access to things you paid for while shuffling different tier systems and prices around and remember the BMG music rootkits? That was fun.”
… Or something like that, it’s been so long.
laser-focused on milking business users who are used to Microsoft’s abusive practices.
The funniest thing I notice is how IT departments have to enforce all kinds of group policies and custom scripts and things to crowbar Windows into shutting up and just being a work OS.
It’s just standard practice at this point to fight the thing into submission to get an install image that’s not nagging users or trying to upsell them on cloud nonsense and whatnot.
…because you know that last time you were happy you fucked something up by forgetting. And it was too late to fix that thing,
THIS. How come we constantly find ourselves messing up things where the only practical solution would be simply time traveling to not having done it?
I’m kinda sick of it at this point, either give me a way to fix it, or the slack I give everybody else. If nobody was mortally threatened by my mistake, it’s not worth endlessly rattling on or yelling about.
I HATE disappointing people but I’m going to, and sadly statistically at a higher rate than others. Forgive me and move on, or I’ll forgive myself and do the same.
It honestly kinda crushes me but I’ve found myself candidly and sincerely saying things like:
“No I don’t wanna go to / do that fun-sounding thing unless I’ve literally got the whole day for it, because whenever I have too much fun I end up in some kind of trouble where I totally forgot something important or I had some place to be or something, so nah.”
I really do wish I could turn to whimsy or serendipity more often, but I’m just expecting to suddenly look at my phone and see missed calls and texts like “Are you almost here?” or “WHERE ARE YOU!?” or something of the like…
I’m even aware this seems like irrational anxiety but boy have I been burned before…
The start button alone probably needs more RAM than that.
Nah, just all the ad telemetry gathered whenever the user hits the start button!
This when my little dual-booting laptop would suddenly start in GRUB Rescue Mode because a forced Microsoft update hijacked the bootloader again. X_X
Fellow Tumbleweed lover here for all the same reasons!
This distro has been fantastic. A few times there’s been some growing pains (8/10 of those directly being Nvidia’s fault by my estimation), but Snapper rollbacks have been ultra reliable in getting to “known working state” until stuff gets sorted out.
It’s such an unbelievably sane and sturdy rolling release. I also appreciate YAST and how it feels like they put effort into making pro-security choices by default without interfering with the user’s experience too much.
I’m a newb still but was put off by having to use “Conda” to manage a ton of virtual Python environments ultra-specific to the applications they were designed for. Blegh!
Right along with…
Substance Free Deez NUTZ !!!
But seriously I’m still pissed about that one. Screw Adobe. So much.
Haha I have folks there! Lived there for a bit too! Between Okie and Cali, I think now I subconsciously adjust my twang to adapt to my surroundings. 😂
It’s like getting “Lord of the RIngs” movie, but about some gang war in a village southeast of Umbar.
Hey, War of the Rohirim was actually pretty alright! :p
Look I’m a simple man, I can’t get enough of Optimus Prime’s stellar voice work. :D
It’s not an incredible franchise. But hey I think they had some fun with a series that was basically designed to sell 80’s toys lol.
Luke casually tossing away an item that had been set up as important in the previous film were not the right changes.
Agreed big time. This felt less like “cleverly unexpected” and more just a total disrespect for the source material.
“Hey remember the symbol of hopeful optimism you followed through trials and tribulations for 3 movies a long time ago? He’s now a cynical burnout drunk uncle lol. Isn’t that sooo unexpected but relatable and grim? SUBVERTED! I’ll take my Oscar now…”
It felt like if some grimdark-TV-bros got ahold of a sequel to the LOTR trilogy, and we were to suddenly find Aragorn a heartless wannabe totalitarian ruler in the middle of a bitter divorce with Arwen. There would also be silly gags where he drunkenly shatters Andúril trying to cut a melon or something, and the kids absolutely loathe him because dysfunctional interpersonal drama is trendy. “Didn’t expect that, did you?? Lol!”
…Then being told your expectations were childish and stupid when you find yourself upset by this. Lol
I love this idea…but for some reason even if I get the right amount of sleep, if I wake up early I always feel like microwaved roadkill. :(
The feeling rushed and forced in the morning thing really hits though. That probably lead to me being chronically late. (By literally 1 minute. As in 60 seconds…but apparently that was enough for them to “talk to” me about it. Ugh.)
