Suggesting anything that isn’t arch based for a gaming focused solution seems stupid as hell to me. No matter how you cut it, there’s a god damn good reason valve picked arch as a base for steam os.

Other solutions are just not going to be as good. Will they work? Sure you could game in Debian for heaven sake and be perfectly fine.

But it’s just more possible problems. Gaming is basically the exact inverse of non cutting edge. It’s the exact worse case where even bleeding edge may not be new enough to properly support things even months after release.

If your playing 10 year old games anything does fine, but other wise your updating packages to what might be newer then your distro supports regardless as which point why arnt you just on arch where that’s less prone to explode.

Just switch to dota from league ez fix. You get your toxic moba addiction fed and you can ditch league!

Open RGB is a absolutely fucking shit show.

Then again RGB in windows is barely better then a fucking shit show.

RGB controls in general is just bad on everything.

Desktops only frankly became remotely useable to normal people with recent revisions of things like kde…

Between that and software actually finally started becoming remotely reliable in like 2022-2023 for your avg windows user.

Comparing the past to now is not reliable fair.

More progress towards making things normal user friendly have happened in the last 3-5 years then the last 20.

If there’s one thing AI is good at is trawling though a hell scape of random data from across time and space. And outputting… Something reasonably close.

Least close enough to actually put you in the right path 9 times out of 10. Even if the ai is wrong, it’s still vastly more time effective then going to stack overflow for this was solved with no solution present.

Hell I had a issue trying to find documentation for a old game I was modding from 10 years ago that maybe sold 1000 copies the wiki was dead the devs site was dead and the way back machine didn’t have the pages I needed.

Some fucking how chat gpt knew the game, was able to identify it correctly from a script I gave it then spat out the exact correct context and documentation I needed.

It was flabbergasting. Cause at the same time it told me the game came out in 1995 when it came out in 2015… It got basic ass info wrong but the technical details right.

I was so fucking confused how it managed that.

The day a open source project has good marketing is the day the end of the world happens.

It’s just impossible for some reason.

Don’t forget if a previously popular application starts to become unpopular its typically for a good reason! So watching downward trends can also clue you into issues or problems you would not have other wise known.

People dislike change so it takes something decently serious to actually halt momentum.

The right answer is,

Debian if they just use web browsers and basic office apps.

Fedora if they use do the same but also use recent hardware that needs a newer kernel

Bazzite if they are a casual gamer and you want to make sure her sims still work easily

Cachy if she’s a nerd and plays a lot of higher end games.

All with kde of course

Who even uses normal arch anymore.

All the cool kids use endeavour or cachy. Which is like calling Ubuntu, Debian.

Suggesting anything with gnome should come with a penalty of having to fist fight a Canadian goose and it’s henchswans.

Any distro in the last decade even worth the time to use it’s easy.

The only expectation is if it’s a distro purely built to only use Foss software with out expections.

Uhh… Poe has helluva bot problem and has had countless cheats over the years.

Iv been playing since the original beta and man… If you haven’t seen cheats in Poe then you are either blind or actively don’t look around you.

Early children ruin lives. Early sex with out risk of child is fine.

Every parent of a gay or bisexual child iv ever talked to about this topic has had the same thought process.

If not for the risk of early grandkid then they wouldn’t really care.

Teenagers are horny they going to do what animals do. But they arnt smart enough generally to do it safely in most cases.

It’s a real shit show
