Well the comparison I’d draw is not even needing to worry about that kind of thing on Windows. I went from getting about 200 to 300 Mbps on Windows without doing anything besides connecting to a network to getting 10 to 30 Mbps on Pop!_OS and Linux Mint (Before fixing this issue.)

The strength of Windows is not easy access to more settings (especially after they split the setting between the new settings app and the old control panel), it’s not needing to access most of them in the first place. That will vary between users and use cases of course. Some people moved to Linux well before the enshittificafion of Windows got really bad because it suits their needs better.

No maintainers yet. Any volunteers?

I would look up your games on protondb. Generally it is correct regarding how much work it takes to get games running. Between changing a few settings in Steam and the Heroic games launcher, you should be able to get most games running fine. I haven’t been able to play one (HROT) without some major FPS issues despite all my tinkering, but that’s been the only exception so far.

I did out of curiosity once. It worked out of a VM on my desktop, but I couldn’t get it working on my laptop. I think it didn’t have drivers for that Wi-Fi chip, but I can’t say for sure. It makes you appreciate how refined Linux distros have become.

I don’t know if I agree with entirely. A good UI lets you configure your system without knowing much about it. E.g. if you want to change Ubuntu’s Wi-Fi power save setting you edit a hidden text file (I don’t remember where it is off of the top of my head.) I didn’t even know that this file existed without a helpful AskUbuntu thread and that editing it would greatly speed up my connection. If a UI option existed, I would probably have found it while poking around the network settings screen.

That’s what a good UI does: it lets you mess with your system without need for a help forum or leafing through documentation. You can look at where settings are supposed to be, find what you’re looking for, and even explore new settings that you don’t know about.

I am a bit surprised that the MCU is that far off. I thought they’d have a little more respect for the source material.

Is the grub in trouble?

The lack of communication from Team Cherry is the only issue, and it’s the primary thing that makes me skeptical about the game ever releasing. If they were working on the game for this long, they’d at least have enough material to give us some kind of an update. It could be as small as a blog post.

Not to imply that they owe us that or anything. They possibly are just completely disinterested in marketing. It’s a little hard to believe given the amazing trailer that they put together years ago, but it’s still possible.

To be fair, a game giving you bad vibes is a valid reason not to play it. It’s not a piece of software developed with a practical task in mind.

I don’t know if I agree about new games. This is a bit of a problem with some AAA games though. The indie game scene is still thriving as far as I can tell, in some genres more than others. (E.g now is a great time to be into FPS games.)

A good old game can occupy you for many hours though, and it’s hard to make good games period. I’m not surprised that a few older games dominate the market.

I remember downloading it a few years back to do some basic image editing and drawing. I think I wanted to make a simple diagram for a lab paper. I didn’t get very far though and ended up using an alternative program. It may not be objectively terrible. but the first time user experience leaves a lot to be desired.

I wonder if you could make it sass you every so often to complete the effect.

Fucking shutdown

Chill my man. I’m on it.
