The whole point of Linux is to tinker

Fair enough but the sole reason I went to Linux is because I despise Microsoft. I wanted a less bloated, not ad ridden, and more customized( mainly just the GUI) experience that gave me more control over my PC. Now I only use this PC for gaming and streaming, so really I just want those two things to work with as little fiddling as possible. Obviously everyone’s use case is different and immutable is definitely not a good choice for power users (from what I’ve read).

Gotcha I was just wondering what the limitations are, I’m still messing with and I’ve not hit one yet but I was curious where they pop up. So for devs immutable distros don’t play well, that definitely makes sense!

That makes sense, bazzite is referred to as atomic (that’s what I meant in the above comment about atomic being more appropriate, forgot to add that context though lol) specifically instead of immutable. Bazzite updates like you said and you can always roll back, thank you for the explanation!

Distrobox is something I want to start playing with, I like the idea of the containers

Yeah I think atomic is more appropriate but I’m not exactly sure what the difference is?

For #1 could you use distrobox to run it with another OS? I’m pretty new to all this so I could be way out in left field lol.

Yeah what I really meant was you don’t have to have much linux experience to jump in, I definitely like the idea of not doing live updates now that I know it’s an option

Was what you wanted not available in a flatpack/ app image?

Trump lies every time he speaks, it’s the expectation and he met it. That’s not news. Biden showed up looking like he was on death’s door when he hadn’t before, that is news.

It’s not right wing narrative. After I watched the debate I was pissed and felt like the Biden administration had hid the fact that Biden isn’t in a condition to be president because that’s what happened.

Trump didn’t have any coherent answers but you could at least hear him

Man that’s 1 issue in a sea of healthcare problems, I’m extremely glad that insulin was capped because that shit was insane but it’s a pyrrhic victory in the scope of things.

It’s like if I was to plug a deep wound I was bleeding out from with my finger. Yes it stops me from dying in the moment and that is cause for some celebration, but I’m still dying just not as quickly.

It was and they won! Now with Trump in office no more Palestinians will suffer! The humanitarian crisis is over, god-emperor himself said he wants Israel to “finish what they started”. He must mean that war needs to end, what other interpretation could possibly be accurate? I thank Jesus personally every night for helping the man win who wants to jack inflation right back up after it’s finally started taming. Our economy is in the right hands!

I do partially agree with your sentiment but the biggest issue is the Democratic party itself.

In my mind if they hadn’t ham fisted Hilary in '16 none of this would have happened in the first place and that’s only the tip of the iceberg of that parties failings.

Living in a red state this is how I thought of it, even if my vote is wasted at least maybe the world can see a majority (even if it’s slight) of Americans voted against trump numerically even if he wins.

US backs down

Does the US back down? We definitely double down

Brauchli has publicly encouraged people not to cancel their Post subscriptions in protest.

“It is a way to send a message to ownership but it shoots you in the foot if you care about the kind of in-depth, quality journalism like the Post produces,”

The two sentences that made me lol. Of course the consumer is shooting itself in the foot not subscribing to a journal whose integrity is in question after one of the oligarchy decided it needed to suppress an endorsement. If the consumers weren’t shooting themselves, who else could it be? Certainly not the great Bezos!

Never heard of it, how is this distro for new users? I run mint for reference, but I’m always trying to learn about other distros.

I’m aware the Streisand effect is specifically regarding concealing info causing way more attention drawn to it, my point is that highlighting the fact that gamers hate Denuvo and trying to change that fact will most likely only amplify the hatred.

I will be more specific I hate any software that isn’t required for a game to work. The reason why I worded it vaguely is because I’m not just talking about DRM, but anti-cheat and launchers as well (even though launchers aren’t 3rd party).

As far as metrics are concerned I’m perfectly ok with that, as long as I have the option to opt-in or at the very least made aware of it.

What it really boils down to is I don’t want any unnecessary extraneous packages with the software that I actually want. For the most part I avoid games that add these things.

That’s why I avoid games with launchers for the most part. I also specified what I meant by third party software, I could have worded that more concisely.

I think them trying to win gamers over is just going to Streisand effect the hatred instead. I don’t want 3rd party anything that I don’t elect to install, even if it doesn’t effect the performance( which I also don’t buy).
