While I wouldn’t say it is crucial by any means, it is a fun piece of DLC. I put over 400 hours into Cyberpunk before I got the DLC though, so that may have been why I was okay with purchasing it! Either way, it does make me happy to see someone enjoying the game! :-]
- Comment on How to Get Hardware Transcoding BACK on Your Synology NAS 1 week ago:
I got a Dell computer that was headed for the dump from someone, installed TrueNAS Scale on it, and it has actually replaced my Synology for everything other than straight up storage. Now the Synology does the storage, and everything else is in TrueNAS. It did take me a few lookups to understand the permissions on TrueNAS, as Synology is much easier to set up in that regard. I like the fine grain permissions controls, sure, but it was definitely not user friendly to a complete noob like Synology was.

They already have TruthSocial or whatever the fuck it’s called, and Twitter. Why even come here in the first place? Lol
- Comment on Super Mario Bros Remastered 4 weeks ago:
I know when I first installed openSUSE, there were a few things I needed to specifically install to get it gaming ready. There might be a missing requirement that allows you to start it. May try “Linux Mint how to run GODOT games/standalone games?” in a search engine? Best of luck!

I’m sorry to hear that! I’m running it on openSUSE Tumbleweed right now. Is there a permissions toggle somewhere in the Properties menu you might be able to tick?

It’s called not having anything else to add to a conversation that is going nowhere. It’s not that deep.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Good lord. This is exactly the type of shit I’m making a point about….
Me bringing up a VALID view point of a woman who is in the process of transitioning to a man, is centering a man’s voice…?
That is certainly a take….
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
See, I feel like everyone isn’t actually paying attention to what I am saying.
What I am saying is that these types of communities, where only one group can participate in actual conversation, IS an echo chamber.
It’s like if there was a misogynistic community, where only the most vile of men would want to be, where they only hear bad things about women and say bad things about women.
I’m almost certain that that would be frowned upon by normal men/women/people.
Andrew Tate is a very well known douchebag who literally operates in and on an echo chamber…
Really, it’s just not a good look and that’s all I really have to say. Sorry if it rubbed you the wrong way (not just you, in general) but I will stand by what I said and this: echo chambers, where only one group can initiate and interact, are kind of ruining the whole reason a lot of us left Reddit.

And you aren’t addressing anything I’ve said either, so I think we’ve come to a stalemate.
Have a good rest of your day!

Well, no. I think you’re just not listening to what I’m saying, and I don’t really have a better way to get it across to you right now.
Have a good rest of your day!

I understand the challenges of that, and the challenges of having a safe space for women (hopefully of all spectrums…), but the way they handle it now is just bad and shouldn’t be encouraged.
If I was a woman transitioning into a man, would I still be welcome? I have the experiences that some women have had, but since I am becoming a man, then does that mean I can only comment in other communities now?
It’s just not a good way to handle things, I’m sorry.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Let’s take your example a little bit further than some plants.
I see a community that only allows asians or white people to comment, and actively deletes any comments with any name that even semi looks like a “black username” or a “latino username”.
Would you not call that out as being, well, an echo chamber?
“sorry, pyre, your comment was deleted as this is a whites only community. :)”
It’s just not a good look, or something I want to see here on an open source platform. :/
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Not at all. People’s opinions don’t mean much anyway, hell not even my own!
If you want a safe space on a public forum, then I highly recommend just making it private.
I have literally seen them delete someone’s comment because they ASSUMED the commenter was a man, when they were in the process of transitioning to a women. This led to the person being very confused, and probably feeling like the community wasn’t welcoming to trans people. Being so heavy handed with the way they mod their safe space has probably alienated more people than they welcomed.
I just think it’s a crappy way to handle things, whether it be men or women. If I ever stumble into a mens only community that is as bad as WomensStuff, I will be sure to say the same thing.
Have a good rest of your day!

I just think of Dull Mens Club and how they allow anyone to post there.
The problem with WomensStuff is how heavy handed they are with not allowing anyone who isn’t specific enough to post and comment there. Posting, I totally understand. Removing comments the way they do just rubs me so wrong. It’s just not a good look.

You can try WeMod. That’s what usually allows me to complete games, especially since I don’t have a lot of time and just want to have fun in the game after a very long work day!

Nope! I have my iPhone always updated to the newest version (unless it is a new revamp like iOS 26 will be).

Obviously, just be careful on what you install, as with anything else! :-]

What field are you in, if you don’t mind a stranger asking?
I wish I could have an interesting backstory to why I wanted to switch to Linux, but mine is much more simple! I just saw how well the SteamDeck was running some of the games I was throwing on it, and was pretty impressed! So, I pulled a spare SSD out of one of my old laptops, chucked it into the desktop, and started the install for openSUSE Tumbleweed because I had heard it was “one of the most stable distros” and was sold since I have always messed my Linux installs up! (I was also dual booting on the same laptop I pulled the SSD from, so that could have been a lot of the issues I had)
Gaming is definitely more simple once you acclimate to the new OS you are using. It was like when I used a Mac for the first time, and didn’t find it very good to use, but now I can get on one and do a lot more things now that I understand the system a little better! If I need to look something up, I just always add openSUSE Tumbleweed, and generally find what I need.
I used some tools (ChrisTitusTech, and StartAllBack mainly) to make Windows bearable, but never liked not having the control over MY system. It is definitely weird when I am on Windows. I usually check to see if that nasty Recall system somehow installed itself on there, or something similar. Heebie jeebies!

Hey, Dani! I don’t have a lot of time to play games like I used to, so you and the others who have worked on wemod-launcher are a LIFE SAVER! I can’t tell you how cool it is to see the developer here, and actually saw my comment.
Every time I get done playing a game, and WeMod asks the “How was it?” prompt, I also always shout the project out through that, just in case someone sees it and they want to help or make the switch over to Linux. :)
- Comment on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA 2 months ago:
I started running openSUSE Tumbleweed full time at the beginning of this year!
I truly must thank the folks at Steam/Proton, GE-Proton, and wemod-launcher on GitHub for allowing me to play my games exactly like I did on Windows. I can’t stress to anyone who isn’t playing on Linux just how good it really is (for me, at least)!
I have beaten at least 10 games while on Linux. Games like: Metaphor: Refantazio, Persona 3 Reloaded, DOOM: The Dark Ages, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Mass Effect Legendary Edition (all three games), Oblivion Remastered, and recently System Shock (Remake). Just to name a few off the top of my head!
I still have a Windows SSD dedicated to anything I MUST use on there (mainly modding games, logging back into openSUSE, then pulling those files straight from the Windows SSD onto my openSUSE SSD, fucking love that!), but that is mostly being unused because I found the wonders of QEMU/KVM Virtual Machine Manager. I use the VM to sideload apps onto my iPhone, for save editing, or for testing a Windows only app before trying to run it with Bottles or something else.
Logging into Linux feels like home, while logging onto Windows feels like someone else’s home. :P

Thanks so much for this layout of everything. I wasn’t even aware of what was going on, and your comment put it all together. Cheers!
