  • I kind of thought my negative distupgrade experiences were a “me” problem.

    I mean I will say I've never had a failed distribution upgrade, so I think they are a bit of a you problem. Most likely related to some issues with specific packages you have installed and upgrading from version to version.

  • A little different from many of the things mentioned, but...

    • Tales of Maj'Eyal - an open source Roguelike with a ton of content. There are paid expansions but the engine and base game are FOSS.
    • 0 A.D. - AOE-like
    • Battle for Wesnoth - a really fun TBS
    • gzdoom + freedoom - while the assets aren't quite on par with the commercial Doom assets, this will allow you to play through any Doom mod/TC
  • I like the concept. I've been rolling tumbleweed for a while with no issues except for Nvidia drivers, but combining the stability of a point release with the "install once" feature of a rolling release is nice.

    OS Leap and Debian do a solid job with release upgrades, but applications can get out of date when you're getting close to the next release.

  • It wasn't even Sennheiser, it was a company Sennheiser had licensed their name to.

    It's really unfortunate that Sennheiser has diluted their brand so much. Between this deal with Epos and their consumer division going to Sonova, it's hard to tell what's actually still made by Sennheiser. I imagine it will become more evident as Sonova starts designing new products and they start to diverge.

  • Nintendo fans are used to "buy the game, maybe an expansion, and you have everything to play as long as you want." When you tell those same people that karts and racers need to be won from loot boxes and that the hardest difficulty is locked behind a subscription, you lose a lot of the hype.

  • I have a... philosophical issue with Zorin. It is based on Ubuntu, which is fine, but then they charge for "Zorin Pro" which gives you access to different preconfigured desktop layouts that are provided using FOSS software. They're doing nothing wrong from a licensing perspective or anything, but it still rubs me the wrong way.

    I would say Linux Mint or even just Ubuntu are better recommendations for a solid beginner distro.

  • For whatever reason, your post is just showing as !community rather than !community@instance.tld. When I click on your links it is taking me to a kbin search results page, while when I click on ram's links it is taking me to the communities viewed via my instance.

    Edit: I'll just add, I know it sounds like you tried to do it the right way and it didn't work. But most people don't even try and just copy/paste the URL as viewed from their instance so thank you for at least making an attempt!
