They’re trash because the entire rag is right-wing billionaire propaganda by design.

I like Fedora simply because you don’t have to take extra steps to remove Snaps. I’ve gone from being fan of Ubuntu to avoiding it because of the way Canonical has behaved in recent years and the negative impacts that behavior has had on the distro (and community). It feels immoral preferring a Red Hat/IBM distro over Ubuntu, but unfortunately it’s the better product.

I recommend Kubuntu to new users simply because the documentation, website, and learning material is better. Bazzite is also not without it’s quirks, especially if you want to start learning more about Linux in general and branching out beyond gaming.

You are right. Unless the world starts to enshrine digital ownership laws very, very soon, things will get bad. They already are bad, but they could be, and will be, far worse in the not-to-distant future.

Bazzite is the most “SteamOS” flavor of Linux you can get right now.

If you want an OS that has a little more control, go with Kubuntu, which is very friendly. When you’re comfortable with that and familiar enough with Linux to unhappy with Snaps and Canonical, switch to Fedora or OpenSUSE.

Bazzite, Kubuntu, and Fedora are all great options for you. Bazzite can boot into a SteamOS-like dedicated gaming mode. If you want more flexibility over your system, Kubuntu or Fedora are both great choices. Since Proton works on all Linux flavors, there’s no need to wait. You can get the Windows-free gaming experience now.

If you are completely new to Linux, try Kubuntu first. If you want your system to feel more game-centric, choose Bazzite. If you want a little more control and freedom over your system, choose Fedora.

It’s hard to go wrong with Linux. The most impactful choice is your desktop environment (DTE), and all of the ones I mentioned use KDE Plasma 6+, which is fantastic. It’s like what Windows could be if Microsoft wasn’t so aggressively anti-UX.

Nintendo is a terrible, anti-consumer company. Unless you simply can’t control yourself when it comes to their first party franchises, the Steam Deck is far and away the better choice.

It would be wonderful if they also cancelled all live service plans.

Pitchford gives off some strong “do you guys not have phones” energy. He’s so out of touch it’s astounding.

Squadron 42 is the single-player counterpart to Star Citizen. It’s supposed to release next year. Star Citizen, however, is far too complex to self-host. The server technology they’ve shown off is incredible, but it’s not a “single server” thing.

I’m hoping that many of these departures are simply because the underlying technology is finally mature and those people want to move on to new challenges, but I don’t really believe that’s true. It’s clear that Chris Roberts own shortcomings as a boss are poisoning the company and it’s once-passionate workers.

Which is why they’ve been banning RCV, weakening voter protections, gerrymandering, and undermining the democratic process in any and every way they can think of. It’s not because of Trump, though. It’s because they know their oppressive, authoritarian policies are deeply unpopular when presented clearly, which is why they’ve been actively undermining democracy for decades.

Forward-thinking companies should use AI to transform each developer into a "10x developer,"

Developer + AI ≠ Developer x 10

At best, it means 1.25 x Developer, but in most cases, it will mean 0.5 x Developer. Because AI cannot be trusted to generate safe, reliable code.

This is a form of the “Nothing to hide” fallacy.

So what he’s saying is that he wants to replace the tarmac roads with concrete? It’s certainly in character for him.

Alpha Centauri is a masterpiece that has never been matched, let alone topped. It’s a shame that rights issues have doomed the franchise.

I never said it was. However it is a much bigger problem in the US.

American education isn’t actually about education, but about creating compliant cogs for the machinery of the corporate oligarchy. When the goal is the betterment of individuals and society, the methods with which you teach and assess progress will be dramatically different. This is more of an “American problem” than the rest of the world precisely because of how the American system is designed and implemented. It does not value, measure, reinforce, or reward individual betterment… but rote memorization and how compliant you are under the arbitrary authoritarian structure of the system.

Criticizing the DNC for their repeated, deliberate failings, or the consequences thereof, is not “both-siding”. The lesser evil doesn’t get a pass for being lesser, especially when it could be doing much, much more to combat the obvious greater evil, but chooses not to.
