Yeah, that's why I left. I realized I was wanting a different more Win/Mac/KDE(Classic?) experience on my desktop. It's just hard to leave because I used to really like Gnome back in the day.

Ugh! I used to only use Gnome. KDE just seemed like a mess. Gnome 3 came out and I tried to like it but decided to take a break. I used classic gnome, mint, xfce and some others that I can't remember. For years I bounced around. Finally, a year ago, I was ready to give Gnome a shot again. I really tried. Learning the quick key commands, then giving into old style habits and getting all the plugins that's made everything just right.

Two things happened. First, I updated my OS and some of my 3rd party plugins no longer worked. Second, I didn't like how I had to install a bunch of community plugins to get basic desktop functionality. I finally realized that what I wanted from a desktop gui was not what gnome vision is and I was forcing my wants with add-ons.

I heard that the Steam Deck uses KDE. So I tried KDE and was really impressed. The messy feel that I disliked seemed to be gone. KDE is currently working well for me.

This is just my experience. I've have read plenty of forums with people who seem to like modern Gnome.

Then what about 🐪🐪🐪?

If they could only do something innovative and fun.

The worry is good for motivation.

Looks like there trying to play off of the success of the Cybertruck

The product is people

Why only Germany? Adult games on Steam are pretty much porn.

Umm 🤔, they have weekly free games. Epic games had effectively trained me to not pay for games.

Just makes me think of the barf scene in 'Stand by me'

Ha ha 😂

Would a union be able to repeal this lame IT overtime pay expectation? This dumb rule was the $27.63 over ten years ago too. I once worked at a place and a co-worker was told by his staffing agency that they didn't have to pay overtime.

Great news! Crazy to think that Valve is hijacking/liberating the Windows gaming library. You would think that Microsoft would be doing more to prevent this.

I have been using Linux forever. I've used Red hat, SUSE, Debian, Slackware, Mandrake, Ubuntu and now Arch with KDE. Part of the fun is trying different distros.

I've currently settled with vanilla Arch with KDE (Gnome get it together) and a bunch of flatpaks for user software stuff. I really like rolling releases these days. Just keep the core install minimal and tight.

Also the Arch forum community is top notch.

With that said I would start with package manager and desktop GUI you like and then go from there.

Just good ass coffee

Meh

She's the Queen of the galaxy.

So they're not just focus on marketing?

I'm fine with them being in a ballot but that should require equal TV airtime and equal debates for all possible candidates. So far, all I'm hearing about is right this and left that.
