I’m no an american, and i would rather die than support the people who put pinochet in power and are currently gutting south america once again

I’m a few weeks from graduating in software engineering, I think I’m going back to my old plan of finding a strong rope and a sturdy tree.

This is me with endeavourOS lmao. Anything important is on my mega/Codeberg. If it dies it dies

Apparently GitHub doesn’t allow adding people to private repos if you don’t pay, I switched to Codeberg after that

I just have a bash with all my extensions , takes like 2 seconds to run

Fedora lost me when I went to install and saw the partition manager , completely user hostile .

Oh no a multiplatform app that just works, I would 200 percent prefer to have a native all that will instill the Lord’s fear into the heart of several un(der)paid interns. Blood and bones I say , blood and bones

So, Steam respects their customers enough to offer them a choice while GOG doesn’t; good to know.

Do you ever see a specialty store and think “at least Walmart respects their customers enough to offer them a choice”.

Also you really need to work on your reading comprehension skills

Gog literally won’t allow you to sell a game if it has DRM, that’s their whole deal as a Platform.

Also having the installers means that if you can install the game files, set whatever environment variables the game needs, create the necessary folders, install the redistributable runtimes the game needs to run,and link the dlls properly. If you only have the game files you have to manage all of that yourself

Gog sells native Linux Games, and the heroic games launcher is part of their partner program. Gog games run perfectly fine with wine/Proton and are the preferred way to play games on winlator.

The gog galaxy client might not be on Linux but that doesn’t even matter since heroic does everything galaxy does but better

Mate, gog does game ownership leagues better than steam

GOG buy GOG. Physical media can get damaged beyond repair, and every time you use it you damage it more. Plus a lot of physical media has DRM that makes making backups an absolute pain.

If you care about owning games and games preservation buy from gog, you can do anything you want with the installers.

I love Foss projects and I try to be as positive as I can be. There are several programs that while having a learning curve are actually usable, but gimp is so user hostile its insane.

How in the ever living fuck does it not have a god damn circle tool. Why the fuck can’t I rotate selections in real time, I need to precalculate the angle and pray it’s correct.

And those are just 2 things I encountered while trying to make a shitty image of pinkie pie as Dante Alighieri 2 days ago. I can’t imagine having to actually learn it to replace Photoshop for work.

And it’s so intentionally shitty, inkscape has a UX that’s at least 10 times better, 1000 times since they actually let you draw a god damn circle ffs.

I like endeavour cause of the pretty wallpapers

Remember to pirate a Nintendo game today

I’d say about now, maybe just a few years behind. Phones come with 16gb of ram l, which is the most common config on steam. There are native ports on iOS. You can play resident evil 8 natively on an iPhone, you can emulate Cyberpunk 2077 on a high end Android.

I’d venture to say that any modern game could be ported to arm with very little compromise, and as arm laptops become more common this gap will be smaller and smaller. The biggest hit for running windows games on Android is having to translate x86 calls to arm calls, an arm windows binary would only have to run through proton which in some cases runs games better than windows itself.

Currently using gnome with lots of extensions. Ive tried many DEs but gnome always feels like home. I also like kde a lot but there something about qt that feels so amateur and unpolished, and I can’t get steam to run on kde out of the box, with gnome it just works. Also the times I’ve used kde I always end up replicating the gnome layout so I just decided to stick with gnome in the long run

Well Ryzen happened because Intel was stuck for years in the same 14 nm silicon. Nvidia gets their chips from tsmc, same as AMD so I don’t see it happening

This is why I use a Linux box hooked up to a crt
