It would be nonsense were it not for the fact that Battlebit is still in Early Access. Being Early Access implies regular updates and the fact the game technically isn't released yet. There are still bugs and balance issues in Battlebit that remain unsolved.
You are right that people lose interest but the majority of players wouldn't have lost interest if updates kept coming to this unfinished game, or at least if the developers kept their promises.
They promised a huge update over a year ago that never came. Seems like development has completely stalled. Huge disappointment as this was such an amazing game.
It is, but with kernel-specific packages you have the kernel linux(-lts) and the kernel module zfs-linux(-lts) and they aren't in sync. Even with the LTS kernel I run into the issue that I can't update the kernel since there's a dependency issue between ZFS and Linux.
I have both LTS and zen and I'm currently on 6.6.36 and 6.9.7 respectively.
I am using ZFS on root on Arch using 2x 2TB SSDs striped . I mainly did it because my server runs on ZFS as well and thought snapshotting and backup would be easy, but instead went with Borg backup anyway.
Installation wasn't very difficult, but the ZFS kernel modules can't keep up with kernel updates (even with LTS kernel) on Arch, so I constantly need to do partial upgrades and it's been annoying. As much as I love ZFS I'm not sure I'd do it again on Arch. If your distro is not using bleeding edge kernels then I don't foresee any issues really.
They still haven't formally announced that development on KSP2 has stopped right? They didnt even announce the studio shutdown. Yet it's still on sale on Steam...
If you feel like you need/want software from AUR you should check out Distrobox. It can run any distro on top of your installation using Docker under the hood, but it tightly integrates into your system so with little effort you can run AUR programs from your launcher as if they were natively installed on your Mint.
That's how it's done here as well. A USB modem attached to a raspberry pi (or just any pc) which answers the dial up connection from the Dreamcast, routing it through broadband.
I love projects like this and I have connected my Dreamcast, but never when I went to play has anyone actually been online. (anyone can check who's playing online with their Dreamcast here: https://dreamcast.online/now/ )
Cool project. The description here reads to and from Dreamcast VMU, but from what I've read on the Github page it's only to get them onto the Dreamcast, and not from. I'm still looking for a way to backup my physical VMU and to be able to continue playing on emulators.
