Historically? Hard to say

I had close to a thousand hours in Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops II back in the day, but i was in middle school and gaming was the main way me and my friends hung out outside of school

If minecraft accounts tracked playtime id be at least 1k there over the years if not much more

On steam I have close to 600 in rocket league, havent played it in a while but thats the most played that i can verify

The Valve one has been the most exciting for me. AFAIK Valve has been thinking about the issues with Windows controlling PC gaming since Windows 8 first came out. The Steam Machines were a flop at the time but in recent years they've been able to maks big moves for Linux gaming and instead of giving up has been doubling down on the importance of it.

I'm well aware of its capabilities and it can do a lot, undoubtedly. I just imagine that if they're going to a social media site to ask a question the goal is to have a person give them advice rather than being told to take the question elsewhere.

But it is what it is, my reply wasn't meant to be a diss on ChatGPT, it's a cool tool. Just personal preference at the end of the day. For some things I could see myself using ChatGPT for convenience, for other things where I'm not so hellbent on saving time I find it much more fulfilling to research and gain a better understanding through my own searches or from interacting with others and getting different human perspectives on a topic.

To add onto this, yabridge is a great tool to try out for using Windows VST's on Linux

They came to this place to get an answer from a person with firsthand experience, not to be told to ask an AI

How so? Flatpak has other contributers it's not excludively a Red Hat thing. It's also not exclusively used in RHEL. How does the Red Hat stuff affect the Flatpak ecosystem as a whole? You're just saying it does without any context

You don't gotta know how to code to use Linux. Maybe some basic skills in scripting will be useful as a tool but other than that it's more about learning how the system is laid out and where to go to do things. Just becoming familiar with doing things in a Linux environment

Did you go into your Steam settings and add that location as a library? Steam won't find those automatically when you mount a drive, you need to add them.

I used to enjoy some of this dudes stuff but here and there I get the vibe that he's talking out of his ass too often while still putting on like he's some authoritative voice. If the setup was more "ha im just playing around and making a list for fun" rather than "this is how worthwhile each distro is" i don't think he'd get as much heat for stuff like this.

I've gone like 5 moths without updating a laptop on Arch before and the only thing I had to deal with was updating keyring first

I think most people who are already using windows will just stay on 10 for as long as possible rather than switching. I had a friend still using windows 7 by the time 11 rolled around. But once 10 hits EOL maybe the momentum will convince more of those to switch to a Linux distro

Hmm just tested cause I was curious. I guess it depends on the site?

Firefox and chromium still prompted me with "are you sure" using CTRL+W on gmail and lemmy but closed without confirmation on Twitter

Haha I'm right there with you. The timeline isn't as vast but Arch ended my distrohoppong and NixOS is the only thing really catching my eye these days.

I jumped around various Ubuntu spins, settled on Linux Mint for a while, tried out ElementaryOS for a brief moment, went back to Ubuntu spins then eventually went with Arch in 2019 and haven't looked back.

The immutability and configuration of Nix seems so appealing but at this point I'm really comfortable with Arch and it does everything I need in a pretty sane way so idk if I'd switch anytime soon.

Ayy I got into Bloodywood a little while back, they're pretty sick. Haven't gone through a lot of their catalog but cool to see them mentioned, seems like their fanbase has been growing a ton over the past year

I guess it's more accurate to say that people know what GitLab is but don't know/aren't willing to troubleshoot and submit quality feedback.

That's just how people are in general regardless of platform

Scary but hey at least Reddit isn't handing out the info so easily in this instance

This is one of those things that I'd come across and went "huh thats pretty cool" then promptly for got about, so this is a nice reminder about distrobox haha

I'll have to go back and mess with it, such a cool tool to have

Easy config with archinstall script if you want to choose options from a list when installing

Extensive documentation with useful troubleshooting sections for many articles
