It looks CachyOS is continuing to rise on steam survey. I haven’t tested that distro yet, is it stable and noob friendly?

In my experience testing CachyOS on another PC it was unstable but I had good luck with the same exact setup on EndeavourOS (BTRFS with snapshots, KDE, AUR enabled and used a bunch for ease of use) for 3+ years now on the same install.

Only had to use a snapshot once, because I did something dumb, but it worked and saved me :)

Using a mutable distro with BTRFS snapshots has been the best of both worlds for me

Same I'm just on EndeavourOS with BTRFS + snapshots and I haven't had any issues on top of that for years 0:

And of course they have plenty of fuel now thanks to the psychopaths making insane comments, now the collective can lump all the gamers who don't like sweeping censorship with rapists and call it a day. Personally I think some of the games that got removed deserved it though, actually, probably most of them.

I usually watch "adult material" behind a vpn using something like librewolf or privacy browser, and a few other tricks to make sure stray apps don't just send the new IP, this kind of privacy seems to be going away soon, and personally I find that uncomfortable and I probably will just opt not to watch anything like that at all. I don't want any government or corporation to be tracking my watch behavior then storing it permanently and running it through some AI 10 years later to generate a profile on me. The future of the internet is creepy.

The only upside is that kids won't be browsing around looking at that stuff, until you realize they will probably just go to some worse site or try to view it via some other methods. :/

I have this game it's actually pretty fun, but last I played it the graphics were blurry for some reason, probably because I zoomed in because I have a 1440p monitor. I'll probably still play and maybe run a sharpener over it. :P

Microsoft is just trying to get ahead of linux by shaking it's hand. This is as plain as day.

Would be interesting how many of this "33 million cheat attempt" was real ones or just incompatible hardware, outdated software or linux users trying to play. I work as a software developer and know that numbers should be looked carefully if you do not have any way to verify them.

Number look good? Publish number :D

they need to either find a way to get the majority of online multiplayer games working, or find a way to convince developers to actually support Linux-based operating systems.

As long as they do it safely without poisoning Linux with the same garbage system-wide data collection Windows has..
