There's a reason it's not up there and cachy is, bazzite is in basically just a worse version of what cachy is setting out to do.
It has a dedicated steam deck ISO, is the most well put together preset up arch distro there is for gamers. Period, there are no real good faith arguments here. It's like if someone took an endevour install and spent over 50 hours doing nothing but making every possiable part of it as easy as possible for gamers to just play games.
Its what Bazzite is functionally a knock off of. Anyone whos using Bazzite is litterally using an objectively worse option then cachy is their first and only goal is gaming. Which is bazzites entire gimmick basically.
For gaming purposes endevour is a terrible choice when cachy is a thing. Not that endevour is bad, its just cachy just pre does literally everything you would have to do AFTER an endevour install. Along with they have a ISO that is for the steamdeck.
Arch is also just objectively better then every other option again if your goal is first and foremost gaming. Because it has by far and away the best support for new hardware and nearly every third party community tool for every game ever is on the AUR and every gaming community with modders ONLY support arch basically because of it.
Again not because other options are bad, but this is teh steam report. Its gamers. So the best option FOR gaming is going to be on top. Thats arch, steamOS is arch, cachy is arch, and gamers with good hardware will graviate to arch because its the only way to have a painless and easy first time install for new hardware or to use teh community tools they got use to on windows.
Debian/Ubuntu and the others in that family all tend to have problems for gamers, fedora is a nightmare for new users. So they almost always end up just on cachy, or endevour/arch. Mostly cachy tho, as its canabalized most of manjaros gamers as the easy to install preset up distro.
You mean arch with steam preinstalled?
Reminds me of a ransomware problem that a place I worked at had. After weeks of computers getting reinfected over and over. It was figured out it was one "techy guy" with Linux on his work laptop. He kept sharing infected files.
So since he kept infecting the windows PCs on the network. It got Linux and macs banned at work.
Everyone had to have windows PCs moving forward.
Lot of Linux and Mac folk don't realize how big of a vulnerability they can be even if they themselves aren't affected.
Reddit is so over zealous that this is basically impossible. Every account basically for ever will just get auto smacked.
You would need to move cities, change how and where you post, change what subs you sub to, change every device you own.
Reddit is one of the most invasive companies in the world when it comes to how deep and wide they dig to ban, ban evasion. Shits wild. Lol
My local library, every hotel and Starbucks are such black holes they do exist. They are also becoming more common.
I live in a popular tourist area, iv seen signs that warn people to not log into their social media accounts while attending due to possible ban issues.
Tho it covers twitter, Facebook and tiktok along with reddit.
The really really big cons don't really deal with it since most of the big social media sites ignore the ips for those locations. Tho that's not entirely a full proof solution
A buddy of mine got banned on reddit and Twitter both for ban evasion/no reason given respectively after logging in at a national level convention here. He worked for reasonably sized media company at the time too.
Automated IP baning like always has been a mess and barely functional. It's basically never worked reliable and always has collateral damage.
Hardware id and mac address banning do the same thing tho more in frequently.
You can be bad at dota, but if you queue into the English queue can you please for the love of God. SPEAK ENGLISH.
the game has a language based queue for a god damn reason.
I don't speak French so I don't queue into the French queue and hurl racist insults at the French for not understanding English.
So why does every fucking Spanish speaker that does speak in the English queue seem to be dead set on insulting every English speaker.
I don't even talk in matches, I'm just so tired of seeing it and it tilting my allies into oblivion.
I'm starting to think riot was right. Gamers shouldn't be allowed the privilege of speaking. It never turns out well in mobas.
R34 is basically all western, maybe you would be more interested in a booru full of anime tiddy instead.
Or the MSG website full of fur.
At least based on the actual psychology research on the topic, access to fictional material for masturbation purposes actually has shown to be the most effective method to prevent abusive urges and relapse.
Tho considering how hard it is to find funding and people willing to under go therapy it's a struggle to find reliable data.
There was one of the leading experts in the topic that did an ask me anything a few years back.
Reddit ended up banning her and nuking the thread due to the topic. But it had a lot of research shared in it that now is locked up behind pay walls and basically buried deep.
Your confusing gender(social) with sex(biological) due to the common usage of male being used in both (social) and (biological) cases.
Castration is always the removal from a male because it's talking about sex(biological) as defined by the reproductive organs the physical presence there in.
Wether or not an entity is transgender(social) or (biological) has no barring on the biological in this instance.
Bottom surgery would be the correction of physical flesh, from one reproductive organs to the other. Functional or not not withstanding.
It would be scientifically accurate to say "you castrate a male(biological) that presents female(social) in the process of correcting the biological presentation to align with the chosen social presentation".
Such a person would be accurately termed both male and female depending on the context, being social, biological, or medical. As all three can vary depending on the person's own choice, nature and medical history.
Medical tho depending on what field your in may be the same or different then biological. So that context gets used much less as a standalone.
But it would be impossible to castrate a female(biological) as the physical flesh that the term is in refences to physically does not exist.
Words have multiable meanings, please be careful when you are using homonyms. It can be INCREDIBLY important, and is the leading cause to almost every argument around gender.
People really REALLY need to pay attention to homonyms.
Biology is pretty much trinary. Male or female as a baseline and is mostly modified into functional/nonfunctional aspects for the purpose of reproduction. Or hermaphroditic and then again functional/nonfunctional. Biology is rather bland and sterile in terminology and doesn't much care about anything else.
Social terminology is where the spectrum is as it's a construct around role, view, and self presentation. Has changed various times though out history and culture.
Medical is the fun one, as depending on the field of study in question it varies insanely in terms of use. Tho it's typically God damn important to be very exact with it cause uhh... hopefully obvious reasons.
Uhh... Unless it's 1993 again install drivers on windows is automatic in 99% of cases and catching a virus from install drivers would honestly be a feat of Herculean impressiveness.
So that would be easier honestly.
Like the only time it's easier to install a driver compared to windows is if it comes preinstalled with the kernel/os.
It's one of the few things windows does really REALLY well.
The problem with drivers on windows nowadays is uninstalling them cleanly is near impossible. Damn well near impossible. But most people rarely need to uninstall a driver.
The way retard has changed over the years is wild to me. Cause around me there are large communities of people with mental and physical disabilities who aggressively try to tell people that they are infact retarded. It's the word they grew up with and are fighting tooth and nail to keep it from turning into a slur. Even tho it's been used as one against those very people for years.
It's such a weird thing to watch from the side line. Makes me wonder if this is what it was like during the rise of rap and the n word.
Tho it's also getting to the point there's so many letter-slurs that it's getting stupid. At some point feels like we are going to have to either just stop caring and accept that intentions matter more then the words them self. Else we are goanna run out of letters to describe slurs.
Makes it very hard to have meaningful discourse around the topic. To be fair the fear of bans, and punishment for even saying some words regardless of context or topic also just makes it very iffy to talk about this topic in many places.
Hell iv seen people banned on etymology fourms and subs because someone said a "letter" slur with in the context of explaining the origin of the word. It's crazy what the internet has become recently.
Depends on the adhesive, every electronics iv ever taken apart that had adhesive where literally non issues.
Expect apple products... Then it's an exercise in not putting a hole though a wall in frustration
Apple just enjoys making things hard.
CachyOS is just steam OS if you set steam to launch in big picture mode at boot.
Everything's preinstalled same scheduler arch based and they even have a iso designed for handhelds.
Iv never understood why the fedora solutions got so popular when people want a steamOS distro. Like we have a basically 1:1 clone and everyone just goes naw choose a fedora option and then complains it's not close enough.
ITS BAFFLING
There's still hydraulic fluids and transmission oil in EVs but by the time you need to change that most people are long out of warranty and likely already onto their next car.
So strictly speaking there is oil and fluids that need replacing but like its such a long life span.
The Regen in my Kona will stop me even on the steepest hill if I let auto do its thing. Shits wild.
There is even a dedicated version of this site FOR bots.
Cachy is just endeavour but with like 20 hours + of all the extra stuff you do after an install already done if you are only focused on gaming.
Endeavour is fantastic but it's a general purpose project. Cachy IS first and foremost gamer/performance focused.
So if you love endeavour but want to only game then cachy saves endless time and effort and for new users or gamers wanting to be lazy it's just a no brainer to go cachy
