I went from Windows to Mint, to Pop-OS, to EndeavourOS and haven’t left EOS.

My time with Mint and Pop were about a week each. I switch from Windows to Linux 2 years ago.

For my experience, jumping into Arch feet first has been a great learning experience. My desktop PC is a gaming PC first, so having the most up to date packages has been great. It’s helped ‘de-mystify’ Linux for me. I’ve had to troubleshoot issues, but thanks to Arch’s excellent and extensive documentation, with some light reading I’ve manages to make it work.

I’m now moving on to setting up my own Homelab/Server, which will NOT be Arch based (…unless…?), because the experience with learning how to navigate Linux with Arch has given me the confidence to tackle something I have absolutely no experience in (NETWORKING).

Fuck me, I now feel like a clown for taking advantage of that lifetime subscription I bought a couple of months back.

Replaced the stock OLED drive with the 2tb drive from the LCD this morning, and so far so good - no issues to report.

Even my modded games (New Vegas, Witcher 3) carried over with no problems.

Deeply ironic that when this news broke I was in an urgent care out of network because I couldn’t get an appointment anywhere with my employer provided United Healthcare.

Oh well, anyway.

Great post, thanks for your effort on this.

DUI in 2008 that was dropped while his daddy was a Florida State senator.

Just curious, what’s your opinion on the death penalty?

Gaetz is from a wealthy well connected old money Florida family. His daddy has bailed him out of crime jams before already. This man has never had to be accountable a single time in his life. He’s literally the 80s villan fratbro archetype come to life.

Mainly the locked bootloader that GrapheneOS offers. It’s more secure, and GrapheneOS emphasizes security over all else, but privacy features are part of that security.

You directly compared owning, customizing, and shooting a gun to the way a child would develop the ability to play a musical instrument. On this article about a 14 year old child being gifted a gun.

In the context of child development though? Nah lol. This is a very unserious argument.

Comparing a gun to a musical instrument is peak American lmao

The Xbox 360 controller wireless adpater was a pretty big piece of shit 70% of the time.

Look guys, you don’t need to justify your piracy. There is nothing ethically wrong with pirating media.

Anticonsumer practices are justification enough. If someone has a childish response of “uR sTeaLiNg!!”, give them an equally childish retort and tell them to eat your farts.

This is super helpful, thanks for this!

The Expanse

Windows 10 when I made the switch last summer. A full year now on EndeavorOS and I’ll never go back.

Rimworld would be my top suggestion, as others have noted.

I picked up Old World (excellent native Linux support BTW) during this summer sale and have not been able to put it down. If you’re a fan of Civilization style strategy games I’d highly recommend checking it out. I haven’t really enjoyed a Civ game since Civ 4, and Old World feels very similar but fresher and with less jank. it’s got a Crusader Kings style dynasty system with randomized events that adds a layer of role playing your leader and securing their dynasty through heirs you can train/influence.

As for the repeatability, Old World has tons. Each culture plays significantly differently, and each leader has different bonuses that encourage an interesting style of play. Games don’t play the same because of the mentioned event system, but also because learning new technologies is “randomized” as well. New techs are researched based off a selection of 4 drawn tech cards once you finish a previous technology. The card system makes it so you can’t just rush straight to archers and dominate the early game to snowball into a power house every game, but its not truly random so you can “game” the system in your favor to get the techs you want with the tools the game gives you through either unique leader powers, or specific governor roles for example.

The game is super deep while not being off puttingly complex.

You’re a fucking troglodyte.
