Not surprised but fucking hell.

As a game dev I prefer Arch-base (I’m using EndeavourOS) and I use Godot. However if you think Arch may not be for you, then I suggest Fedora.

Last time I saw kernel panic on Debian and that was more than a decade ago.

Wow, this looks nice!

Don’t know about its current state but this helped me a lot with moving out to a new place, years ago. The version how I remember wouldn’t be so helpful with renovations I think. Still can be used as placeholder though.

I mean, if it’s not dead yet…

Well, they appreciate any kind of contributions. Thanks for considering this.

No problem! FOSS alternatives are really good as an office suite on their own but when it comes to Excel, things might go tricky. I hope they’re as compatible as they claim.

Not FOSS but maybe this might work for you: https://www.freeoffice.com/en/

Install Windows in a VM on a Linux distro and use WSL there?

Noice!

Yeah, that’s definitely not a retro feature but my my, that’s a cool one. 10 years ago, I wouldn’t imagine something like this on a terminal emulator.

Hahaha, been there. :)

Huh, cool! Apparently the dev who made this thought about everything. :)

If I remember right, they were adjustable in its settings. But it’s been a long time since I’ve used this.

This is more like Fallout than Portal but maybe it can work for you.

To be fair, I don’t know any benchmark for this comparison. But I just tried a relatively big file with both of them. Opening part is not really noticeable, but fast-forwarding is much better and slicker in mpv. In VLC it looks like it’s jumping between scenes, in mpv you actually see the motion of it’s getting fast-forward.

Yes it’s quite noticeable, especially with the bigger file size. mpv is really light.

You can still use older hardware in 2025. So, yes.

That makes sense. Nouveau isn’t mature for some use cases yet, even though they made a huge jump with NVK. Hardware upgrade might be closer than you think then.
