I don't like having to do any compiling and stuff. It's easier for me to just boot up a ROM in an emulator.

Right now, I'm leaning towards staying on Kubuntu LTS. I recall hearing that the Kubuntu Team will be backporting a version of Plasma 6 to 24.04 sometime around the end of this year. If so, I may get to try Plasma 6 without needing to upgrade to 24.10. We'll see what happens, I guess.

I know most people using Ubuntu or one of its flavors run the LTS, but I've had a good experience running normal releases the past two years. I will probably continue doing so on my desktop. Although, it's Kubuntu in my case.

Probably a controversial opinion, but multiplatform is the way to go these days. Exclusives no longer make sense to me. They were fun back in the 6th Gen Console generation and earlier, but just seem old-fashioned today.

Didn't even know this existed. Thanks for mentioning it.

Right now, I'm debating whether I want to stay on LTS after my Kubuntu install(s) upgrade from 23.10 (whenever the update drops). I've been pretty satisfied running normal releases the past year, but it may be worthwhile just sticking to LTS.

They work pretty quickly. A new KDE program, marknote, was recently uploaded to Flathub and was listed as unverified. It didn't even take 12 hours before it was verified.

No offense to people who like cryptocurrency, but I remain highly distrustful of crypto.

I don't like the asymmetrical analog stick layout, but I'd be open to acquiring one of these and trying it out. I do appreciate that it has TRACKPADS, unlike so many other Deck competitors out there.

Quoting: Jarmer

Quoting: CyborgZetaI wish it was on Steam. I basically quit buying games from GOG a couple years ago because it was easier just playing games in Steam. Still, I'm glad to see GOG do this, and I'm willing to buy it.

It is much easier in steam, however I have had good success just using Heroic to do all my gog playing. You can just use whatever the most recent GEProton is by default for all games. Not AS easy as steam, but kind of close.

I did end up buying Alpha Protocol on GOG and installing Heroic, and everything does seem to work just fine.
