Not only that, theres also an increasing number of anticheat’s that supports linux, however they have it intentionally disabled so when you run the game it either blocks you or in worse case bans your account as a whole

yea but he wouldn’t need to handle that, I do all his setup, he just has to click the shortcut that opens the game just like he does currently.

We all have been there. First technical build I struggled for 45 minutes trying to figure out why I was getting a zero display whatsoever only to find out that I plugged that damn HDMI cable into the wrong port, and the board had disabled everything including post and splash from using the motherboards port

you arent the only one. I had suck a painful onboarding process with next cloud from the docker setup to the speed of it to the UI that I just gave up and decided to use a combination of immich and syncthing instead.

My grandfather’s reason for it. “It will be too different from my current system”

… the only thing he does is the web browser, and bookworm deluxe which i have confirmed does work via wine. I was recommending him install an OS called q4os, which I have on my laptop, I showed him the side by side comparison of q4os vs windows. For a point of reference this is what q4os looks like

I think he is too scared of change.

Fair, the first thing I teach anyone who gets a dualboot up and running, is how to install boot repair disk on a flash drive and how to run the system repair on it(easy enough since it autoruns). It fixes most basic BS that windows can do to a Linux install

I guess that really depends on the equipment though, some devices when you turn it on for the first time will automatically enter pairing mode, so all that had to be done is click it in the bluetooth menu, but it might not auto enter pairing mode when you turn it on after. So it’s unlikely the user ever knew they were pairing it, and just clicked through the prompts like many do

I somewhat agree with their mentality on post 2022 Debian since they had changed the default and made it harder to disable non-free from the start but, from what I understood by reading the FAQ page, even prior to bookworm it wasn’t endorsed due to having the toggle in the first place, which I find super weird.

It didn’t until 2022 or so, it’s had a toggle that can be turned on or off for non-free repo’s for as long as I can remember but, starting around 2022 they changed the default to allow for non-free (and also apparently made it a pain in the butt for the live install to disable it because its a boot param now instead of a toggle)

They actually explain why they don’t endorse Debian in the link the person above you added. Apparently since you /can/ enable the non-free repos in the installer, it doesn’t classify as 100% free. I don’t agree with the statement and find it weird, but that’s how they defined it.

It’s not just by default it seems, they excluded Debian because it had a toggle to be able to choose to add it during install(pre-2022), so it seems that their criteria is any type of affiliation with non-free software

Like the other person said, its never justified, its just they run the company so who can really tell them otherwise.

Shareholders maybe? but they won’t rock the boat.

I saw a lot of Silksong and peak; BF6, blue prince, nightrein and there was a passing glance at split fiction I also had 1 creator I follow play death stranding 2 and KD2 one just started e33 last week so I been watching that. The rest fell out of my circle of 40 or 50 streamers.

Note: I technically saw at least 4 people playing silent hill F but didn’t count it as I never saw anyone stream it that wasn’t sponsored so I didn’t feel it was a good representation if it

I decided to go through and mark what I didn’t see

• Dk bomanza (surprisingly as many were Nintendo fans)
• .Indiana jones
• ghost of yotai (surprising because I watch a few souls streamers)
• hades 2
• ninja gaiden 4
• sinobi art of vengence
• Lego voyagers
• sonic racing
• all the fighter category
• all the vr category
• abaolum
• all the mobile games (makes sense)
• ff14 dawntrail
• avowed
• f1 25
• tempest rising
• ff tactics (probally cause port)
• two point museum
• all the impact category

So looking back, I guess I did see a few of them more than I thought I had, but there was still a good chunk that just never appeared on the creators I followed.

for real. I have played dredge on PC, I didn’t even know it had a mobile variant.

I don’t get why their “top selections” aren’t given to people who navigate Gplay, it gives it a more “pay to have a spot” type deal instead of it using metrics.

None of those entries are installed or have even come across my google play. How are these the best lol

the nominations for most things this year was fairly disappointing. I hadent heard of any of the events, and the content creator one I didn’t watch and only knew of one by name,

I pegged myself as a fairly casual gamer and I do a lot of stream watching but, a good chunk of the games nominated I had never seen or never saw anyone streaming, many I had never heard of. It was surprising since most of my entertainment is via watching people play games or by gaming myself.

this entire thing has made me really rethink whether I want to swap to the new repo or not.

Why was there no communication about it. The gplay repo maintainer wasn’t informed of anything, no public notice to anyone was given, just a transfer of the repo and a status issue here explaining it.

Obviously the act is genuine as they were able to keep the original keys but like, this entire system seemed really sketchy.

I’m also not happy with the fact that it seems the first thing they added was removing checksums, but that might be a temp thing.

I also just noticed that it looks like they removed the entire public key for it, which if they had the original private keys using the existing public keys shouldn’t be an issue right?

One of my drives crippled itself a few days back, not sure what caused it. Wasn’t able to be resolved without a host restart which was unfortunate. SMART isn’t failing and has been working fine, so I’m chalking it down to a weird Proxmox bug or something.

For sure expected I was going to need to do a rollback on an entire drive after that restart though. Still may have to if it reoccurs.

yea I agree that is how I had read it at first glace as well!

in the areas they are operating yea. it rarely snows in San Francisco which is where they were green-lit for usage. While snow has happened in that area, its a super rare occurrence due to the proximity with the pacific ocean which generally will warm the air high enough to change it to rain instead of snow.
