Well it’s a discussion in bad taste. I don’t really know how to explain more because this should be obvious already why people wouldn’t like seeing it.

I can present a report on an extremely low LTIFR right after a workplace fatality and watch as I never get to present data in that room again.

Turning around and saying “but it’s factual!” isn’t going to get a “you’re right. Good job mate”

Only those first 4 are within the ublue project. The others are just part of Fedora, different variations of Fedora immutable distro.

A ublue can be rebased to the Fedora images. So you could go from having Aurora to having Kinoite for example.

That repository of images you linked to you can get from the project pages. Like the Bazzite page will say “are you on handheld?”, “do you need game mode?” “Do you have nvidia?” And then link you to the appropriate version from that repository.

There might be deprecated versions in there, for example I know they don’t maintain the Surface kernel version anymore.

It’s gone from pressing eyes real hard to just touching the eye.

Their website has a rundown of each, links to each projects page, and notes on what makes ublue different.

But ignore all the “cloud native” talk. It’s got nothing to do with end user experience and I don’t know why they still feel the need to highlight it.

Because your statement reads as “people dying isn’t good but this affects fuck all people”

It’s all part of the same project, Universal Blue.

Aurora -desktop KDE

Bluefin - desktop Gnome

Bazzite - gaming and handheld focused with KDE

I installed Bazzite on a desktop I recently gave away to some local people. I also used Bazzite for two years as a htpc before I got a steam deck. It was good stuff, never had problems with it.

Aurora is going to come setup with things like non-free codecs, distrobox, rocm stuff. It’ll make life a bit simpler.

Do you remember the days before proton? Like the time I couldn’t play Terraria for months because they didn’t have anyone in their dev team who could update the Linux version to keep it working. The workaround was to get the windows version working through wine.

Using wine to play windows games is something we have done for years before proton made it easier. It’s a very Linux thing to do. Even some old ports were just using wine wrappers.

Brotato was the only game I played this week.

Do you play devilution x with trackpad mouse?

I always find the sentiment of “no updates, no downloads” to be not quite right in the context.

The chameleon likely would’ve been more at home with Indie/retro-inspired games. The games that have mastered the concept of ongoing updates without punishing the consumer.

Terraria and Stardew Valley in a state of constant evolution, still getting better 10 years, 15 years after their release.

Dead Cells, Dredge, Vampire Survivors, Binding of Isaac, Grim Dawn, No Man’s Sky, Brotato, any number of other indie games that have lived on for years due either massive or incremental updates.

The solution works for the AAA games problem. “The game should be playable and feature complete at launch”. For these games, the DLC is often just cash grabs, looking for reasons to milk customers. The “gold release” state not being updated later requires the multi billion dollar studios to finish, polish and deliver.

But these are not the kind of games the chameleon would have been able to play, its wheelhouse would have been the indie games that started out as fun games and became something a hundred times more over time.

I got a book about 15 years ago called Guerilla Furniture Design. All about turning things like cardboard and scrap metal into DIY furniture.

I’ve never actually done it, but looks like you can make pretty sturdy chairs out of double corrugated cardboard packaging boxes.

Yeah, it’s a satire site that got big in punk rock circles some years ago making fun of the Punk and Hardcore scene.

I didn’t know it was still going.

Edit: there it is! https://thehardtimes.net/about/

I got a humble bundle full of Star Wars books/magazines the other week. I haven’t bought a humble bundle in a few years so I didn’t realise I was actually buying Kobo estore licenses for them.

I’ve now spent a week trying to strip the Adobe drm using calibre, with no luck. I either get an error message from calibre or the output still has drm on it.

Season 5 of Supernatural was the logical endpoint

Only that it’s such a mouse/cursor driven and fast paced game, it can be a bit too fiddly with touchpads. There’s some good custom control schemes people have made to make it comfortable to play but you do really feel the difference from playing on desktop.

I got back into Terraria after a 5 year break, and been playing it anytime my kids are busy with something

You’re just hoping he stumbles across this randomly one day?

BD-live was a thing going way back then. BD players had network connectivity because stuff like that was a selling point.

But it seems like you’re adjusting the question to be more “do BD players REQUIRE internet connections”. No probably not.

And off track, for some people the primary function of the PS3 might have been to play movies. BD players were several thousand dollars, a ps3 was like $700-800. There was definitely chatter along the lines of it being a Sony product would be best in class for BD playback as well.

When I first started dating my partner I asked why she had a PS2 with no games. She said it was her mum’s that she just uses for dvd.

PS3 was one of the first affordable blu ray players right off the bat with internet connectivity

There isn’t. It’s regular desktop windows shoehorned into a handheld screen.
