I’m not that much of a gamer, but ask your favorite search engine for winedb and protondb for details about game compatibility.

Fuck off, microsoft…

I use piper TTS. Probably not as good as the fancy AI APIs, but it’s all local and runs from command line and is good enough for my purposes. YMMV.

Just commenting to give more love to helix. It’s my favorite “small quick edits” editor.

It’s pretty good for very early software. A bit more work and I’d probably use it.

Xfce. It does what I want it to do and little else.

Xubuntu on my desktop/laptop, debian on a server. Mostly because while I really like tinkering with things, I usually just want shit to work so I can get something done.

RSSGuard for most things, newsboat for keeping track of software releases on github.

Xfce. Partly because I’ve used it for a long time, but mostly because it does what I need it to do and little else.
