It’s just way faster for me most of the time. I can hit F12, do what I need, and be done without messing around with a mouse or touchpad.

I have that same laptop, and it sounds perfect for what you want. Cheap, repairable, and runs linux well.

I’ve only played a couple hours so far. I just thought I hadn’t figured out how to access the maps not that they didn’t exist…

I dove headfirst recently and switched from KDE Plasma to Hyprland. I ended up using someone else’s config as a base, and I’m still tweaking, but so far, I have no regrets.

I don’t follow any best practices. AUR, updates without checking the feed, etc. Been on arch for 2 years or so without any major issues.

Two days ago I decided to give hyprland a try just for some excitement. Lol.

You can use the archinstall script and get it setup in however long it takes to install everything.

I recently went through the process of manually setting up hyprland. Only after finding out it was added to archinstall…

I finally started looking into emulating on my phone, so I’ve been playing some games from my childhood. Mostly Alleyway and Pokemon Red, with a little Harvest Moon thrown in.

I’m still procrastinating on figuring out the majority of my backup solution, mainly because I get overwhelmed too. But there is a backblaze personal docker template on the Unraid Community App store. You could do one way syncthing and have that backup to backblaze.

The only thing I currently backup offsite is an encrypted archive of my paperless-ngx content. I use rclone for that.

I found this guide on reddit that goes over borg and rclone. Seems to walk you through most of it. https://www.reddit.com/r/unRAID/comments/e6l4x6/tutorial_borg_rclone_v2_the_best_method_to/

But, i’m also making assumptions on your technical abilities, which I guess is part of the problem you have with cli tools…

I use Yakuake and Konsole since they came along with KDE Plasma. I’ve never really thought about using anything else, but maybe I should…

Almost every time I use Windows, i hit F12 to try and pull down Yakuake to do something quick, and I get annoyed every time. Now that i’m more comfortable with it, the terminal is just better for a lot of things.

The first Fable for me. Loved that game so much as a kid!

I can’t believe GW 2 is still going! I played so much GW1, but never got into 2. May need to check into it.
