- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 1 day ago:
To add to this-
One of the biggest traps for new linux users since forever has been to jump straight into the deep end- tweaking any and every tunable- then when that inevitably all breaks, blaming Linux and moving back.
For anyone reading- You don’t need Arch as your first distro, you don’t want to on the bleeding edge unless you’re prepared to bleed. You don’t need things like Golden Eggroll Proton or any external launchers.
Just keep it simple to start- Something like Mint, SuSE or plain Fedora with Steam using the built-in Proton.
Bazzite gets… let say ‘advertised’ a lot and it’s got a lot of good ideas - but if you’re coming from Windows I think it’s just too much - it’s an immutable system* with containers for everything. That’s an ocean away from Windows unless you were comfortable with Sandboxie beforehand (if you were, dive right in)
*\the system is read only, you cannot change anything in the default image, ie. imagine if you were never allowed to add files to c:\windows
- Comment on Ex-PlayStation boss says the games industry is "littered" with Fortnite clones and "people trying to do Overwatch with different skins," but keep dreaming if you're just trying to get "big sacks of money" 6 days ago:
They seemed to have caught on to just scrolling straight to the bottom now too, so now it’s somewhere around 2/3rds the way down is the actual recipe nestled away between the filler.

No please don’t, it’s better these executives stay well away.

If you’re on PC, SpecialK can do that now (on SSE, probably also LE if you’re on nVidia or use dgvoodoo for DX9 to DX12)

Be the change you wanna see or stfu.
I am, by not supporting these games financially, I’m hoping they crash and aren’t made anymore.
Live Service single player games are an abomination.
- Comment on A player before me destroyed a bridge in [the Tides of Tomorrow] demo, so I had to build it again in this narrative adventure where your choices have consequences for others 2 weeks ago:
And it’ll be shut down in a few months anyway.
Single Player games as live services that die can take a long walk.

- Comment on The Discord Breach Might Be Worse Than We Thought, As The Hacker Is Said To Have Two Million Age Verification Photos 3 weeks ago:
Sounds like Discord is about to have 2 million cases of arbitration to sort out.
One person takes them to arbitration, it’s short work for their legal team, if 1000 do it’s harder, if 100,000 do, you still have to respond in a timely manner. The costs would be astronomical.
Valve and a few others removed it for that reason, it’s a bomb waiting to blow.
- Comment on Senate report says AI will take 97M US jobs in the next 10 years, but those numbers come from ChatGPT 3 weeks ago:
It hasn’t taken any jobs, but this will keep being repeated so it can be used as a bludgeon against pay rises and keeping up with inflation.

No Raspi support for AV1 either. I’m stuck in patent hell HEVC land.

- Comment on Australia has a $127,000 housing affordability question 3 weeks ago:
More 4-5 story blocks with commercial on the ground floor and real family sized flats, with storage.
Apartments here tend to all be built like they’re ready for AirBNB - no storage, lots of wasted space for pretty bathrooms and foyers.
- Comment on Australia Post releases footage of posties being hit by cars as it urges drivers to ‘keep an eye out’ 3 weeks ago:
To play devils advocate- they need more dark spots. Against the sunlight up some hills, they basically become invisible.
- Comment on Elon Musk reveals 2026 launch for his AI game alongside Grok-made garbage 3 weeks ago:
*Delivering nothing.
When he does deliver it’s more often a gem than a turd, but he almost never delivers.
Self Driving Cars? Nope.
BFR? Nope.
ITS? Nope.
Starship is an death trap - I’d trust a 737MAX over ever getting on that turd.
Tesla Roadster with thrusters (yes, he promised this) Nope.
- Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account 3 weeks ago:
There are plenty that will boot/install Linux just fine but won’t do a nice clean install of Windows 11.
Modern Thinkpad E16 (AMD) is one of them, a clean USB won’t work, it will always stick at not finding required drivers.
You need to inevitably create a USB install from the MS USB Media Creation tool, running on the machine itself from the included crapware Windows - to get an installer USB that will work.
Different if you’re just pushing a wim over the network from endpoint/scm, but it’s basically broken for local users.
