    That’s because Steam/Proton has mostly solved this (with some qualified notorious exceptions), which used to be a real problem even just a few years ago, but not remotely as much these days; the meme is mostly outdated by now, I’ve lived both cases and it used to be a pain but these days? people are spoiled by Valve and many have never lived the OP situation (which is great news!)

    Honestly Steam and Proton have solved like 90% or more of this issue, i was in this spot in the past for a long, long time, but Steam has made this work almost seamlessly for a great number of games

    And then i got the Steam Deck and this went into overdrive

    At this point i feel like Linux is a realistic option for a gamer, qualified of course (anti-cheat tech tends to break things, plus there’s a few problematic ones), but we are at the point where you can buy an AAA title and be relatively confident it will run on Linux (check first though)











  • Seen many attempts at “Brand/Series/Game/Fandom OS” over the years, and now i wonder if it wouldn’t be better to spend the effort on theming engines or something over a base but functional distro, and then have a gallery of themes to choose from that applies them on everything from the bootloader screen up to the mouse cursor. Want to switch to some other Brand/Series/Game/Fandom? Apply this and reboot, you get the other one. Like the ancient MS Plus but much deeper since Linux allows for a lot more these days.




  • I keep feeling that there’s a disaster being brewed there, the only people paying attention to young boys seems to be the alt right, and there’s a need for this which everybody seems to dismiss, every single one of the old style support structures for masculinity have been dismantled over decades, and while they were right to be dismantled all these boys still need the support to actually grow into decent people, and no one is giving it, and these crazies have noticed and are using it as breeding ground for soldiers for their cause. The decent people side must create something for them even if it’s to avoid them falling into these dens of craziness.
