Plus, I don't know any other system that lets me pull my intestines out of my abdomen and use them like a lasso to climb a cliff when I forgot my rope at home.
The biggest "con" to PF2 is that it is decidedly not 5e, and people expecting it to work like 5e will have a bad time. AC generally hangs within 1 or 2 points for the entire party at a specific level, same for enemies. It is rarely a good idea to just walk up to the enemy and face tank them. Moving around is big for survivability. Synergy with other party members can be huge too. Sometimes that thing you can do doesn't sound like a big buff or debuff, but if several party members are doing complementary buffs/debuffs it can turn the tide.
I don't actually know if it is a Wayland issue - most of those forum posts are like 3 years old... And I have definitely used these same AppImages in the past on Wayland without issue. I think the AppImages are expecting some specific dependency to be installed on my system that is no longer installed due to updates. (which I thought was counter to the entire point of an AppImage? I thought it was supposed to be kinda like Flatpak where it has it's dependencies in the image? Maybe I just misunderstood AppImage...)
To give you some hope, my Distro switched to Wayland as default a little over a year ago (i think) and I have not been running into problems (outside this AppImage problem, if it is indeed a Wayland issue, which I cannot confirm or deny).
No, see, then I will have just committed to cooking it 1 second longer. I told the machine how long to cook it. I can't be caught lying to my microwave or oven.
I think I took the "boy who cried wolf" story a little too seriously...
Not only that, if you try to click any of the links, like the partner list or privacy statements, it takes you to another page with the same pop-up over it... So you have to accept the shit to read their disclosures... What a shitty website, unless the purpose was to keep the information a secret, then it works great because I sure as shit didn't read it.
I feel like I am the opposite. If I set it to a specific time, then I feel I have committed to letting the food cook for that entire time and will not stop it early even if I think it looks like it's done already.
I seem to have constant issues with AppImages. Every single one I have currently won't open. I get an error message relating to either qT or GTK. Tried searching for the error and get a bunch of old forum threads talking about either not being compatible with Wayland at all, or comments stating that the one specific AppImage in question must have been "packaged badly". Thankfully, nothing 'mission critical' for me is an AppImage currently, but it is quite upsetting that I have the most problems with the supposed "just works" app packaging/distribution option.
I love my smartwatch, it usually holds charge for an entire day even with the screen on all the time. I think they stopped making them though, it is a Fossil smartwatch. I also like that it just looks like a normal watch at first glance.
By contrast, I have bought a tablet twice thinking I would love to have one, and then NEVER know what the hell to do with it. My phone is easier to carry around. :/
I was going to suggest something similar. Basically, unplug the windows drive entirely, install linux on a dedicated drive. Then plug them both in and use the bios to decide which one to use. Basically don't have them interact at all. That way, worst comes to worst, you can boot into windows exactly as it is.
If this was a personal machine you use for recreation, I would fully support just dropping windows entirely. But no matter how much I want to support a fellow Linux convert, if you make your livelihood from this computer, I wouldn't risk any downtime that costs you money.
Same. I gave up on Bazzite (for the time being) the second time it just stopped updating. The first time, I had to rebase it entirely to get it to work for a while again. I wouldn't want to put a new person through that. I'm not sure why everyone has a hard-on for immutable distros "for beginners" suddenly.
Sure, if you are comparing to having no anti-cheat at all... But there are tons of competitive games out there using more "traditional" anti-cheat that don't need kernal access that are doing fine.
Their number also makes no sense if you look at the previous figure "Over 188 million people in the United States use a subscription video streaming service". Average of 10 bucks a month makes 1.8 billion revenue per month, which means the bring in roughly 21.6 billion per year in revenue.... Are they suggesting that MORE people choose piracy over streaming services? That feels like a ludicrous claim. More likely they are estimating the number of "illegal downloads" and assigning the price to buy a digital copy instead... Like if piracy was impossible the people that do it would be buying digital copies instead of signing up for streaming services.
And that is all before you look at your point, that a vast majority of the "illegal downloads" they are likely claiming would have never been sales, they would have just been people that never consumed their media.
Honestly, never trust a company replacing C's with K's, especially if it contains alliteration. They will shy away from adding the 3rd K too publicly, but they know what it means.
Exactly. It's a "cheap", hands-off system (with the added benefit of being able to collect massive amounts of data to be sold - surely no one would ever do that clutches pearls) that makes people think the game doesn't have cheaters because "it's impossible" (it isn't). You give deep access to your system and the only thing you get in return is people complaining about smurfs instead of cheaters when they get absolutely wrecked.
I'm not sure that would actually appease the kernal anti-cheat people - I thought part of the reason they want kernal access is so they are loaded before most everything else and can therefore monitor for anything running that "shouldn't be". That's hard to do if it loads while the system is already up because it would have to be further down the chain.
At least, that is my understanding, I'm not an engineer and might be wrong.
OMG yes. I was trying to figure out how to say that but couldn't put it into words, but you perfectly put together what I was thinking.
