Did you get your $0.50 for that?

No idea how I should be pronouncing it though… K-den-live? Kde-n-live?

Yes, that’s how it’s pronounced

PCGamer is officially off my reading list now.

Would a VM not work? Seems like the perfect use case for a VM.

I am not looking for software alternatives.

Then just use Windows or a Mac.

Stop calling it “vibe coding”. Vibe coding is literally yoloing the generated output and then repeatedly reprompting when it doesn’t work. The second you put in a modicum of effort to examine the code generated you are no longer “vibe” coding.

How so? The Arch wikis are considered some of the best documentation of any software. So the “Highs of Knowledge” is fitting.

Ok, next question: what’s an apu and a cute lil pepe on 4chan?

What’s a “froggo” on 4chan? Is it some kind of cred for hackers? But seriously, what’s a froggo?

The OS vendor gets to run classification on all of your pictures, documents, and software.

Not on Linux

A new age of hyper-optimisation would be so awesome.

No, just basic and regular optimization. There are plenty of talented devs with YouTube channels that have shown that most AAA games are horrendously optimized, and in some cases can see 2x or even 3x+ performance gains with proper optimization.

Go with Bazzite, not Debian

Well, then Microsoft should stop shoving AI slop into all its products. Windows Agentic AI Slop is something no one asked for.

Not sure what to tell you, but a Mac is the last platform to go to for gaming. Apple has zero interest in gaming and have made the platform virtually hostile to gaming development.

Steam regularly has sales (really good sales, like under $5) for fairly modern games (within the last 10 years).

Wait for a sale on something like an AMD Beelink and use that.

I hate PCGamer’s website. Everytime I get partway through an article, a pop-up shows asking me to sign up to their newsletter. Now the pop-up alone would turn me off of their website, but what happens is the pop-up scrolls the article all the way back to the top of the page. So I completely lose my reading position.

PCGamer isn’t the only site to do this, but I think it’s one of the more popular ones that do.

The other thing that sites do now that earns an instant DNS block on my pihole, is capturing the back action that prevents leaving the site to show a pop-up that says “wait, before you go, check out these other articles” or something along those lines. HELL… NO!

The customization in settings is extremely limited.

Give KDE Plasma a try. Sometimes they’re criticised for having too many settings.

This is an explanation on why it never gets fixed.

The technical debt would be the additional damage being done to the rest of the house each time it rains.

Even on an 8gb or 16gb system Windows uses over 4gb on a fresh boot. At 4gb it’s going to be swapping to fish non-stop. The disk will be thrashed and be dead in a year of use.

It wanted me to make an Embark Studios account. And yes that is a big deal.

You are aware that you see beforehand whether the game requires a separate account (at least on Steam)?

No, because as I indicated in my post, I didn’t buy it. I installed it from someone else’s account within my family group.

Also, how else would you enable crossplay/crosssave?

I don’t know, but not my concern.

And you don’t even need to use separate credentials. You can log in with Steam just fine.

Not according to the prompt I was shown.
