Aren’t these three distros mirrors of each other, for a lack of a better expression? I remember reading that one of them was started as a clone of CentOS, bugs included

I truly don’t understand the trend of games receiving an “enhanced” edition a year after launch. So what you’re saying is that you’ve released unfinished garbage originally, and now present this upgrade as something new, when that’s what it should have been right off the press

Unsurprisingly so. The feedback has been overwhelmingly negative.

That being said, it’s still a matter of time until it happens

The proposal has been dropped

Doing the best for which use-case? The answers will be fundamentally different depending on the situation

Correct. Atomic distros don’t apply the update, unless it is ready to be applied successfully all together, usually with an option to restore the previous state, without the need of something like btrfs snapshots.

With Nix(-OS) as an example - your bootloader entry is just a reference a giant list of what you need to get out of the Nix store, to achieve the config you want. Many of those can coexist in the same system as a result, including different versions of the same package

This setup won’t really teach you anything different in relation to containers though.

No need to gatekeep things in such a heavy-handed manner. People can enjoy whatever kind of games they do. Gaming is about having fun, not about measuring ego based on your self-imposed rules

Everyone but Canonical already dropped any support for Mir in early 2010’s

A lot of really bizarre choices there.

With MauiKit essentially depending on KDE frameworks, abandoning Plasma 6 is a nail in the coffin.

I was never a huge fan of the NX design philosophy, because it felt quite disjointed, and not very well suited for neither mobile screens, nor larger ones, with how tiny yet spaced between everything is, but at the same time, variety is a good thing for people who did like it.

That being said, without first-party MauiKit support, Nitrux has no real benefits to offer, so it’s unclear what their plan is going forward

Bloodthief ended up being exactly as fun as I’ve expected

I’ve switched my Nix setup to this sudo implementation a while ago, and have noticed no downsides thus far. I’ll take the memory safety, with a fresh codebase

One time I’ve lost around 200gb of data, by accidentally removing a folder, instead of its symlink. Didn’t have backups either, but it wasn’t anything I couldn’t get again

Sarasa Gothic + Iosevka for just about everything

I love OSS but I won’t sacrifice my experience just to go fully libre. Sometimes it just doesn’t make sense. I’m glad it’s an option for people who do want that though

For games you’re playing through Steam, no additional steps are required, apart from enabling Steam Input support in the controller settings. Your pad should be detected automatically

That makes a lot more sense now. Love me a project with a fun story behind it

Orange juice is nothing like apple juice, and yet both still sell

No surprise there. It’s backed by a reputable company, built well, supported well, and continues to receive updates that affect not only the handheld itself, but the rest of the linux gaming scene all together. Plus it’s an absolute steal for the money.

Other brands had it all written out for them, but they all opted in for a quick buck, with generic bullshit with no understanding of what made the Deck so appealing

I really appreciate this one. Have done this on my other devices too, and while it does cut battery life by a little, your battery health will remain high for considerably longer

That’s the good part. There’s plenty of choice, and it’s easy to swap
