There's F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/

That's pretty much exactly what you're looking for. :)

Edit: Never mind me. I read Google Play, not Google Pay. :P

Ubuntu does make things easier.

I had everything set up the way I wanted it in Ubuntu the other day.. but something still itched a bit so now I'm on Tumbleweed and feeling better. :D

Though Diablo 4 tends to crash after playing it for a while.. not sure if I'd have the same issue in Ubuntu or not, might have to triple boot for a bit just to try it out. I really do want to stay here in chameleon land though so it would probably be better to just try to find the cause of the crashing.

I do think this is a pretty common thing among us linux geeks though, never really feeling content and just wanting to try everything. :)

Never did try BlackArch or Rainmeter though!

I've played around with plenty of distros though.. Slackware, Redhat, Gentoo, Arch, *buntu, SuSE (before they split into openSUSE), openSUSE, Manjaro, Endeavour OS and probably a bunch more that I can't even remember but those are probably the ones I've played around with the most.

I agree on the action part. I wanted more puzzle solving too.

And yeah, it might not leave as much of an imprint as the older ones bu still.. laid back fun. :)

I'm still happy WSL exists, it's definitely better than nothing if you're stuck in Windows land!

Sounds pretty nice tbh!

Yeah, that's basically where you go if you ever have some obscure problem, it's incredibly useful really.

I know, I do that too but it's just not quite the same for some reason.

Isn't it kind of strange that a lot of us equal stable with boring? I know I do at times as well.

There's something satisfying with stuff breaking and managing to fix them I suppose

Been there, done that eh? :D

It's strange really. I've used Ubuntu on and off since.. 8.4 or something like that but I've never tried Debian. Don't even know why.

Arch really is a documentation project rather than a distro, their wiki tops most everything out there :)

Or openSUSE Tumbleweed :)

Is Debian Testing actually rolling I thought they froze it before new stable releasea?

I'm starting to want to try Pop.. they seem to have quite a few fans around here!

Sometimes I wish I had a machine dedicated to nothing but reinstalling different distros. :)

It can get a bit disrupting to do it on your main rig too often.

Feels like that's pretty common these days. Most of the big distros are polished enough to get the work done without jumping through too many hoops really.

I can see the charm in that tbh.

I like the idea of Gentoo, it's a pretty cool concept. Just a time consuming one as well. :) I remember my problem with it was that I couldn't really decide how I wanted my system to end up while I was setting it up.. which kind of defeats the purpose a bit I felt.

That or setting up a retro gaming sysgem.. gathering and scraping roms, setting up a nice frontend with cover art and everything just to never touch it again when it's done. :)

I stumbled upon Comic Mono myself a while ago and have been meaning to set it up in my IDE's but haven't gotten around to it yet. Might just have to though. It looks strangely easy on the eyes. Almoat relaxing somehow? Cant really putn my finger on why however.

I can agree with the fact that fonts feel different depending on your OS. I usually use Source Code Pro and I never got the feeling that it looked quite as good when I went from Linux to Windows after getting a new job.

These days Ubuntu can install the nvidia drivers for you during the install as well if you just click the "install proprietary blabla" so you get a pretty game ready system there as well tbh so I'm starting to feel like a more gaming tweaked version of Ubuntu is a bit redundant?

That's a surprisingly pleasing font by the way!

I installed Kubuntu.. I couldn't be assed to resize my efi partition to a gig and disrupt windows.. Done that in the past with varying results. Wish they didn't require it to be that big tbh.

I do miss Arch.. wouldn't surprise me if I'll install it again soon.

Kubuntu works. But where's the fun in that? :)

It's like.. I installed it, messed with lutris a bit (needed a newer version) and installed Diablo 4, everything works.. and now I feel like I'm missing out somehow. :)
