  • Hot Take Time: What is a popular long-running franchise that just needs to stop?

    Jump

  • Jurassic Park is one of my most favourite movies ever. Although they come not even close to the first one, I still rewatch 2 and 3 from time to time. But Jurassic World is a disaster for me. The second one was already so bad that it caused losing my whole interest for the World franchise.

    I still cannot believe how much they butchered this franchise and the initial vision for the book and the movie.

  • My Casio A 168 - I like watches and typically I would opt for more expensive ones but I still marvel at the amount of watch you get for this kind of money. The design is great, very comfortable to wear, very precise and has a very good battery lifetime and background light.

    Someone else already mentioned a safety Razor.

    My iron pan - much healthier, more ecological and will last longer than I will ever live.

    Obviously my bike. Saved so much money on it. Although I still need to figure out what I should do with my very rusty chain. Should I replace it?

  • I also have one which hit break-even years ago compared to thouse Gillette Mach 3 etc ones. I am also using Proraso shaving soap, but for my sensitive skin the red one is the best, followed by white. Started with green and tried it again two months ago, bit it is not as good as the other ones for me.

  • I did a refresher course two months ago, but I haven't gotten around to buy a motorcycle yet. But everything is there, I just need the bike. Really looking forward to it. Stay safe!

  • My experience with Arch

    Jump

  • I would also add that it heavily depends on the setup a user is running. I had been running Arch with XFCE and dwm for years on a machine with a Nvidia card and I can count the number of issues I had which were not induced by my wrong-doing with three fingers. When I switched to Plasma Wayland on my new machine I faced more issues in one and a half years than with my old setup. Also, none of these issues were mentioned on the news section but were due to Plasma updates. There are just too many moving parts under heavy development with such a big DE and Wayland is also not quite 100% there yet, so for some people it can seem like Arch is rather unstable although it still is a heavy generalisation.

  • Bazzite surpasses 30k active users, gaining 5k users since two months ago 🎉

  • I don't have any slowdowns or freezes. Do you experience this with other distros as well?

    Jump

  • I see what you mean. Sometimes I wish I could tinker with it the same way as I was used to with Arch. But in the end, it just works and goes out of my way.

    Jump

  • You have complete access to the AUR via Distrobox. Also, how do you conclude that it has "many issues"? I do get that Bazzite might not be for everyone, but please, elaborate.

  • Bazzite is absolutely great, if you just want a very reliable system that just works and goes out of your way. I lean nowadays way more into recommending Bazzite to new Linux users, since there is literally not much to initially set up, no matter the hardware. Gaming works perfectly fine and any regular users software needs get easily satisfied by the Bazaar.

  • What did you treat yourself to most recently?

    Jump

  • I literally did the exact same thing. Never played an extraction shooter before and it was a spontanous purchase. Did not regret it.

  • Serious Sam 2 was just updated after 20 years in celebration of its anniversary

    Jump

  • This game was a fever dream. Played through it in coop with a friend. Given the fact that this game is not what Serious Sam typically is associated with, it really is nice that it received an update like this after all these years. TSE is still my favourite (love the jungle/Aztec themed levels).

  • I just found out my fiancee wants to switch to linux, lets start a distro war, what should be her first? + other questions

    Jump

  • I second the atomic Fedora ones with Plasma. Very stable system, updates run automatically like she is used to, and the Bazaar software center is a great and well organized central repository for flatpaks.

  • Anyone remember Heroes of Might & Magic 3? A remake is coming

    Jump

  • Fair enough. For me, the gameplay formula is a bit like chess. Very analytical and logical, and it just works perfectly.

  • Dude, the gameplay, especially with HotA aged very well.

  • sudo dnf remove snap

  • I give you a thumbs up.

    When I was running XFCE with Arch, my Installation was several years old and I only had a handful of incidents that needed manual Intervention, which was very manageable for me, so at the end of the day, it was the most stable system I had by far compared to other distributions I used, although I had a Nvidia GPU.

    When I switched to Plasma with Wayland on my newer AMD only machine, I constantly had issues especially with Plasma after updates. And these were things I could not fix but rather needed to find workarounds until it got fixed with a later update (for example NTFS support on Dolphin not working properly, panels crashing constantly, configurations that partly got reset etc.)

    Arch can be really stable but only if you use conservative Software for your DE/WM and critical infrastructure.

  • Not all anticheat-games won't run on Linux. For example, I got Wuthering Waves running on Bazzite, although it uses kernel level anticheat. If a game does not have any anticheat software, it will probably run fine via Proton.

    League of Legends used to run on Linux in the past, but I haven't checked how the situation nowadays is.

  • I would agree with your that there is no perfect place and system on earth, but geez, there are HUGE differences in social welfare systems. Also, spreading misinformation does not help you to get your point across.

  • The excellent survivor-like Halls of Torment is getting a big DLC and free update

  • HoT really is a very good VS-like game. Enjoyed it a lot and happy to see what new content is being added.
