This is all fair complaints about Linux, but I don’t really feel like windows is much better. I’ve had windows break on me or family members a lot over the years. Sure I’ve had some Linux distros break with an update and fail to boot (namely Manjaro), but windows has broken itself with updates dozens of times for me. The whole reason I started using Linux at all was because windows was breaking so often on my computer that I needed to try Linux to make sure my hardware wasn’t defective.

You talk about having to fall back on the command line in Linux, but that’s also true on windows without 3rd party software. I’ve had to use windows command line utilities to fix drives with messed up partitions and to try to repair my windows install after windows update broke it. A couple weeks ago I had to help a friend on windows do checksums using the windows command line because windows doesn’t support that through the gui. Meanwhile dolphin on KDE let’s you do checksums in the gui from the file properties screen.

I honestly feel like Linux isn’t really that much harder or more prone to breaking than windows, people just have less experience with it. The smaller user base means there’s a lot less help available online as well.

To be fair, those are both issues with flatpak too. You can change the file system permissions with a command or flatseal, but I don’t know of a fix for the password extension issue.

I had a 3-4 year old gaming laptop, and a mandatory windows update would corrupt the hard drive forcing a fresh install. I say mandatory because it installed no matter what I tried. Disabling updates in settings and registry never would prevent this update from wrecking my computer. I could get a few days to a week of use and then it would crash and require a fresh install.

I installed Ubuntu to see if it was a hardware issue, and it ran great. Years later when I finally got another computer I tried windows again, but quickly realized how many things I hated about windows. I deleted my windows partition and have never looked back since.

This is the what I did. My wife still uses windows so I configured the mouse on her computer, saved the configuration, and have it working smoothly on my PC.

While it was easy to set it up this way, I really don’t like the idea of needing windows to configure my mouse though. I really wish logitech would start offering official Linux support.

Halo 1 is the most buggy of all the Halo MCC games unfortunately.

I know that disabling the enhanced graphics for it improves performance/bugs a lot for that specific game in the package.

So it was a real article, but after criticism UN deleted it and claimed it was a poor attempt at satire.

However the writer of the article said it wasn’t satire, but was rather meant to be provocative by showing how many corporations benefit from world hunger.

Just found out the hover boots can be found in the space rig, all the way at the top above the drop pod.

Should add some fun shenanigans to the space rig while waiting for matches.

Xenoblade is great, definitely one of my favorite series. I remember stumbling across a xenoblade community on a lemmy server that was called possum something, but I think it was empty and I haven’t found it again.

I’m playing through Yakuza like a dragon right now and it’s a pretty interesting twist on a JRPG. I definitely prefer the combat to the beat-em-up yakuza games.

My approach to BotW was pretty much climb high thing, scout for anything that looks interesting, mark it on my map, and then go explore.

Pretty much anything that looks even a little interesting will have something for you to do or find.

Thanks for sharing. I put a request in and I’ll see how comprehensive the data is.

Dbrady (the maker of Relay) has pushed multiple updates in the last month optimizing and reducing API calls. He then spent time recording anonymous data to see what the average API calls are, and is basing that pricing on average API calls after the changes.

This is what I came to recommend. I’m actually waiting for it to exit early access (or at least cook a bit longer), but it looks like a detective game wet dream.

I can’t get it out of my mind, only reason I haven’t bought it yet is because I don’t want to experience an inferior version of it.

Yeah same, I’m from FMHY as well and I’m really confused as to why everyone is saying FMHY.

I picked it because I skipped over the first couple large communities looking for smaller ones that allowed everything. Didn’t really care about the piracy aspect at all.

Yeah, I really didn’t like the menu change. Honestly Prime 1 is the best of the series in my opinion. 2 does have some impressive boss fights though.

Honestly I’ve found that duckduckgo/Bing’s results are usually enough, and usually only fallback to Google results if I fail to get anything useful or if it’s a very technical query.

Search bangs let you search using any search engine from duckduckgo. So you can type “!g” before your search to search Google. “!w” for wikipedia, “!a” to search Amazon, etc. They have a page on duckduckgo that lets you search all the different search bangs, most every website with a search is included and has multiple search bangs that work. If you don’t remember any of the shortened commands, you can usually safely fall back on a longer one (ie if you don’t remember !a for Amazon you could do !amazon).

I usually use tiling add-ons for Gnome or KDE. So pop-shell or bismuth.

Honestly the search bangs are the killer duckduckgo feature. I started using it because I was upset with Google hiding search results, but it’s being able to easily search any search engine that keeps me using it.

Your link gave me a 404, so here’s a different link covering it.

Should be interesting having it set in the US. Will make the English translations kinda confusing to tell when they’re speaking Japanese vs English.

Current focus with apps seems to be on mindlessly consuming content. TikTok/Facebook/reddit/etc all are trying to just be a feed of content where you just sit down, scroll, and consume.

I’ve always preferred to look over a lot of posts/content and choose what to engage with depending on what’s interesting to me or what conversations I feel like I can meaningfully contribute to. I don’t want to just mindlessly scroll memes, that leaves me feeling depressed and numb.

I’m not against “user-friendly” UI, but I don’t like it when it’s non-customizable or hampers my ability to choose what I interact with.
