Jakob is

Jakob is super cool!! I got to meet him in person at LTX 2023, he gave me a mic and told me to start streaming :)

I’m sure storage environment matters though?

Maybe the newer kernel? But if you don’t think you need it you’re probably fine tbh

Exactly the same reason i used it, prior to moving to sway with the switch to Wayland

I’ll never understand why Square Enix gave Deck Nine LIS in the first place. Dontnod = GOAT

This is terrible advice, especially for someone moving from an rpi bruh

In what fucking world are you living

Yeah good catch LMAO

Perhaps, but on the other side of that coin: Because valve doesn’t have legal obligations to make money snd increase shareholder value, they put a lot of money elsewhere. The products they create are awesome (literally the best launcher on PC, Tim Sweeney is probably upset because his is ass) and invest heavily in things better for gamers:

• digital returns were huge when they first rolled out
• (IMO) spearheading game streaming with steam in home streaming & the steam link
• creating awesome games and not milking them for perpetual profit (other than maybe in game items but i don’t want to have this discussion)
• investing heavily in alternative ways to play (steam machines, aforementioned steam link, VR/index, steam controller, steam deck)
• legitimately spending money to make it possible to game on Linux, reducing gamers reliance on Microsoft/Windows

Less cringe version:

Wait, really? I use NPM and also have two sites running via a separate nginx container – i feel so dumb now LMAO

This! Im planning on getting this set up on a spare pi one of these days™. You get a free premium acc on the tracking sites, so you can track where tf all those planes and helicopters above your house are going

TBH, from a privacy perspective you’re probably already pretty set – if you wanted to be more cautious you could use disk encryption, ensure that things are a bit locked down (ssh key only auth, firewalls, or find a guide on hardening like this for ex). In terms of your UI, it really depends on what you’re looking for, personally I find GNOME to be the best looking when compared to ease of use but when i made my first switch I started on i3 (but that would be Sway these days for Wayland) and never looked back.

My advice would be to get familiar with Linux as a whole first and then start tweaking things like your UI. It can be overwhelming to get used to the terminal commands (which btw are not necessary but I would heavily recommend as it can make things a LOT easier) and other weird Linux things (software installation, gaming, customization, etc)

I guess im OOTL on this, what’s happened with Kanye now?

Nah he’s remarried to someone named Bianca Censori

The guitar hero mode of Fortnite is so upsetting because i fucking love guitar hero, and want to support the development (& more importantly new controllers)

But fuck epic games, and clone hero runs perfectly on Linux

Similar boat, private instances ftw

That’s … not that much tbh. If you were to go to the bar with your friend once a month you could easily pay double, the cost of like two movie tickets and popcorn, etc etc

Though now its been advertised 🤣

Why are you against them advocating for the industry, promoting jobs, and recognizing the significance of the videogame market?

pushing politics onto the industry

Is this just your insecurity talking because they want to promote gender diversity in the job market?

promote equality in the video games sector to ensure gender balance and equal pay
