The difference between the Fediverse and a closed system like reddit is that it’s open and we’re privy to haphazardly implemented functionality and bad API documentation.

I work on big closed source web apps for a living; they’re just as haphazard and badly documented, it’s just all closed.

You could switch to the ESR branch, which gets feature updates much less frequently.

I disagree. I think it’s mostly a combination of baby duck syndrome and the perceived difficulty of gaming (unless you’re a kid who “needs” to play the flavor of the month over-monetized multiplayer trash)

I’ve been using Trixie (Current testing, next stable) for gaming for a couple weeks. Everything (gaming wise) works the same as it did when I was on Arch.

Why tho? The Venn diagram of people who use Teams and enjoy it enough to use outside of the workplace and PC gamers is two separate circles.

For those who don’t want to read TFA: the brands are Gilead and NYU Lagone Hospital

It’s a combination of Nvidia not supporting mixed refresh rates and mixed DPIs until like really recently and the open source driver not being nearly as performant as the closed one.

I’ve been switching between Arch and Debian for the past 5ish years. I don’t really notice much of a difference, other than Arch has updates much more often than Debian Testing usually does. I like how meta-packages in Arch are more minimal than the ones in Debian, but that’s a very minor thing.

They were, but the porn wasn’t popular until after Fallout 3 and is mostly based on their Fallout 3 and 4 models.

Listing only things that haven’t been listed

• Seal: video downloader that lives in the “share” menu
• Aegis: TOTP/Google Authenticator clone that’s open source
• personalDNSfilter: an in device vpn that lets you block websites (mostly ads) (blocks in app ads too for quite a few apps!)

I’ve been distrohopping for the decade+ I’ve been using Linux. Keep coming back to Arch. Once I get the initial install done, everything works and I don’t need to touch anything.

The plight of the adult gamer with an amount of disposable income. Too many games to play and not enough time.

I get stuck with those problems most of the time I open my Steam library. Too many games that I haven’t started. Too many that I haven’t finished. Yet I still find myself rotating between the same 2 or 3.

I’m not a streamer; I feel that people watching me play would be waaaaay too much stres.

It works pretty well. There’s some issues with mouse focus capture on multiple monitors in Wayland (both KDE and GNOME), but using gamescope fixes them. I’ve been PC gaming exclusively on KDE/Gnome Wayland for the past couple of years and haven’t had any issues besides the weird mouse focus stuff.

I’ve seen both AntennaPod and PocketCasts mentioned; I’ve used both over the years. I liked AntennaPod; the only reason that I stopped using it was because I switched to Spotify since that let me pick up listening from where I left off on my desktop. I moved to PocketCasts afterwards because I’ve been slowly trying to get off of Spotify (and because they open-sourced their mobile apps). I don’t like that they require premium to have it sync with the webplayer, but it works.

The XDG Base Directory standard has kinda sorta been doing that; and I like it. Not everything supports it; and it’s not perfect, but at least it’s better than the wild west that application configs used to be.

The Arch wiki is pretty distro-agnostic (barring package names and pacman specific stuff). I’ve been distro-hopping for past decade and I’ve always used it as a reference for setting things up.

I’m assuming you mean the ability to run an AUR-helper and automagically install from PKGBUILDs; in which case, the answer is no. IMHO, lack of AUR access isn’t as big of a deal as it used to be since Flatpak covers a good portion of what I have downloaded from the AUR in the past.

Same; especially with how everyone and their dog is releasing a Chrom{e,ium} reskin.

According to Betteridge’s Law and my ever present cynicism, no.

But it would be so fucking awesome if he did!
