    People like Arch because to many it feels more truly like your system than other distributions.

    It isn’t that Arch is in some way more customizable than other distros, rather it’s that if there is a package on your Arch system, its probably there because it was your choice to put it there in the first place, and so the system can feel more representative of you given it only contains the things you want or need and nothing more from the get go.










  • You might also be interested in cron/crontab. You can schedule scripts/software to run at specific times of day, week, month, year etc.

    Also if you want to learn more about the linux command line, three super useful commands for you are ‘man’, ‘help’ and ‘apropos’.

    man followed by a command, like ‘man find’ will show you the manual pages for the command ‘find’, showing you how to use it.

    In some cases man wont work for some commands, in those cases try ‘help theCommandThatDidntWorkWithMan’.

    apropos followed by a query like ‘apropos network’ will show you any commands that have ‘network’ in their short description to help you find commands that you might want to use for something.




  • No worries. The cost here is disk space as GAMMA is built on top of the free Anomaly game. In total, it looks like its costing me 89.3 GB of storage on an NVME, and they do recommend an SSD at least for the games (that total includes S.T.A.L.K.E.R Anomaly, and GAMMA).

    Anomaly can be obtained here https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly, and I believe you can get GAMMA from this discord https://discord.com/invite/stalker-gamma.

    Follow the install instructions on the GAMMA discord when it comes to both Anomaly and GAMMA, they are pretty straight forward, and they have free support!

    I think you would be impressed by the AI, it is some of the best enemy AI I have ever experienced. They peek corners just like a player would. The other day when I was playing, an enemy peeked a corner in front of me, shot me and immediately went back behind the corner. I walked into the building that they had peeked around and looked out of a window to see if I could spot them. The AI had backed up behind cover and was holding the corner they had peeked, not moving at all.

    Never seen AI that smart in any game in my life, if I had walked around that corner, I would have been dead!

    While the game is unforgiving and there is a fairly steep learning curve, it is one of the most incredible games I have played in my life, again, for free!

    Let me know how it goes if you give it a shot :)






  • I bought Windows 11 early on so I’m still using it to justify the purchase on my desktop, but I moved my OEM licensed laptop over to Debian a few months ago.

    Can confirm that as soon as Windows 11 is no longer supported or it gets slightly more ass, I’ll be moving my desktop over to Debian or Arch or something as well.

    With the advent of gaming becoming so much more accessible on linux either through native support or through something like proton, I am very hard pressed to find any reason to stay.
