Just recently started my fourth playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3, with occasionally playing Starfield and Divinity Original Sin 2.

It’s pretty decent, however the story is completely different from the books aside from the basic motifs and character names.
Originally I was looking at Arch based distros such as Manjaro and EndeavourOS, during which I found out Manjaro is somewhat pointless because you pretty much should not use the AUR on Manjaro or else you will break the system inevitably. EndeavourOS looked solid though.
I personally wouldn’t recommend Manjaro, they’ve some questionable decisions and even failed to do some basic things, like failing to renew their SSL certificate, which happened at least twice.
However, I got a few suggestions regarding openSuSE Tumbleweed as a better alternative to Arch based distros and just wanted to know what are the pros and cons of OpenSuSE compared to Arch based distros from your experience?
Well, the two aren’t all that different. openSUSE has an better installer, which offers even full disk encryption, automated partitioning for disks in BTRFS with backups enabled. One big plus I can see in openSUSE’s favour is YaST, the graphical utility for system configuration, and allows you to configure nearly everything in a GUI.
Arch, memes aside, is relatively stable in my experience, only having problems once or twice with Nvidia drivers. I think that Arch’s biggest advantage is the AUR. Also one big plus of it’s install method is that if you read the documentation during the install process, and try to understand it, you’ll get a much clearer picture of how a linux system works in the “backend”.
Both distros are rolling, and the speed that packages arrive in zypper (openSUSE’s package manager) vs pacman (Arch’s) is rather small in my opinion. Personally, I lean more towards openSUSE, but both are good.
In November 2020, Marak had warned that he will no longer be supporting the big corporations with his “free work” and that commercial entities should consider either forking the projects or compensating the dev with a yearly “six figure” salary.
Honestly, I do think he has a point here. These are corporations that use FOSS to make millions off of it, but contribute nothing back, either in code or in monetary support. While I don’t condone his means to try to get that (i.e.intentionally breaking compatibility), he is morally justified in this request.
You can also use Minion too, just instead of downloading the executable, just get the jar file and run it through the terminal.
I can’t speak for the EGS version, but the game itself works fairly well.
Lord of the Rings Online is about 26Gb.
Star Trek Online is also roughly at the same ballpark as LOTRO.
Guild Wars 1 is about 5Gb.
Secret World Legends also this one, about 10Gb.
They are all decent, and fun to play if they’re your jam, some are more pay-to-win than others, like Star Trek Online. Some are a bit on the older side, like Guild Wars 1 being from 2005 though.
Your best bet might be probably NTFS, just install ntfs-3g and use that as the file system type when mounting, it should work fine.
Though it will be slower than in windows.
No actually, I didn’t knew it was a thing. Added to my wishlist for when it’s released.
The Age of Decadence is CRPG set in a post-apocalypse ish, in which an analogue to the Roman Empire ruled most of the world until the collapse of civilisation, now it’s mostly city states struggling to survive and reclaim the old magitek of the empire.
Underrail: Life on earth’s surface has been made inhospitable ages ago, and the remains of humanity now live in the metro system called underrail and the caverns around it.
Both are isometric, turn based games that focus on combat and exploration. And they are hard. Builds are incredibly important, almost min maxing but they have a wide range of viable builds, especially the first one where you can play the entire game without fighting a single battle, all through alternative solutions and skill checks.
To quote the great Douglas Adams:
“In the beginning the Universe was created. This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”
Oh, nice. Seems like a good time for a new journey in Vvardenfell =3
Yeah, that happens sometimes for me too. I usually just disable it in the settings, but irrc, if you set the kwallet password and the user password to be the same, it shouldn’t ask for it.
It’s my favourite distro =3 No matter where I migrate to, always ends up coming back to it.
Currently running Fedora on my laptop and Arch on my desktop, though I’ll probably migrate from Fedora to openSUSE next month.
Fair point, I was thinking of some of the complex graphical features, like ambient occlusion, screen space reflection or even ray tracing.
Also, the teams behind ESO and the mainline titles are not the same. The main team that made Skyrim, Oblivion and the others is focused on Starfield now, and probably for the next three-ish years with the post-release content.
While I’d love a Morrowind remaster (not remake), it’s incredibly unlikely since Todd Howard himself is against it.
