Quoting: DebianUserAny suggestions on must-have mods ? What are you using ? Thx

We're just playing plain MineClone 2 with some texture packs. We didn't explore other games or mods yet. I agree it is very simple and feels unfinished at many points, but it is still fun for kids.

Quoting: HoriAnd from what people have to say about Minetest the only conclusion I can draw is that those who enjoy it enjoy it only because it's open-source, free, or non-Microsoft. Which is just wrong. A game should be enjoyed for what it has to offer. And no, an open-source game doesn't provide freedom.

Me and my son enjoy it. We also enjoy many non-free games (like e.g. Supraland or Lego series). Granted we never played original Minecraft (and we never will from the look of things).

Recently my son started to play Minetest. Works quite nicely. Never played MS version, can't overcome disgust ;)

Maybe finally I'll be able to get rid of Gkrellm. Although Doom plugin for it is still one of the coolest things :)

Most of the time Lego Star Wars or Lego Avengers. Also some Elder Scrolls and Turmoil.

Well, I shouldn't have written badly about AMD yesterday since today my mobo died (as far as I can diagnoze). At the moment there is no reasonable replacement. Buying B450 is a bit pointless, as it won't support Zen 3 and there are no B550 mainboards yet to buy. I could get X570 board but they are rather pricey.

You are only reconfirming my point - they have nothing special to brag about :)

I don't get their happiness from the fact that the socket AM4 survived 4 years (2016-2020). AM3 socket debuted in 2009 and was partially compatible with AM2 released in 2006! It makes 10 years of support of the general socket design. Of course, not every motherboard supported all processors, but the same is true with AM4.

Moreover there is no gain from the fact that motherboard from 2016 and current one both use the same socket if they support different processor. I can't take 4 year old mobo and put a new Ryzen there. So, why I should be happy that the socket didn't change? Similarly, latest generation chipset won't work with Zen 1 architecture CPUs.
