Quoting: Liam DaweSounds more like you're just being a fool. You made an argument that was wrong, plain and simple.

Liam, you either lack seriously on the reading and comprehension department or you need your beauty sleep.
As to the game itself, it shows females as part of a British special forces unit, not vaguely "women in military roles".

I'm not talking snippets of History :huh:
I'm talking the political correctness ideology that's been impregnating the gaming industry. Although it's most visible in games like Battlefield V it's also introduced more stealthy in many other games and other forms.

Quoting: EikeFeel free to look up racism e.g. here [External Link].

Yes, Wikipedia is an unbiased source for political charged definitions (I'm being sarcastic).
Facts are for bigots :whistle:

Oh no, female characters where they never existed, again.
Why not an ebony Greta Thunberg as Joan of Arc? Yeah, lets rewrite History completely, facts are for racists.

Quoting: DorritPlease elaborate...

When I said AUR I meant the rolling release model which, in my opinion, makes Snaps/flatpaks irrelevant since programs are always up to date without the negatives: large install files, slow to open, non-use of system themes and fonts.

I find Snaps/Flatpaks and AUR mutually exclusive.

Many (most?) people that buy laptops would be better served with a desktop.
But when they go to a shop (mostly FNAC and Worten here in my country) they are presented with a plethora of portable devices, including Macs in their ever-so-posh corner, and only a handful of desktops at the end, sort of ashamed to be there.
The idea in their minds is that the desktop is a disappearing species and that laptops are trendy and posh; so they buy laptop.
Another thing is Marketing. Take the new Intels: the i7 1065G7 has 1.3 GHz base frequency with a (single) core turbo boost of 3.9 GHz. They'll only see the 3.9 value. And don't you go explaining that base frequency is where it stays most of the time (and even that will throttle) and why a mid range desktop counterpart is vastly superior because it can boost all-core 4.5 GHz for days on end: you'll be wasting your time.

I could accept (just) snaps being Ubuntu focused if at least they worked properly.
The problem is they don't. They take too long to launch, particularly on cold starts, and they don't integrate with themes. They simply feel as "not belonging". Flatpaks are marginally better.
I don't think Repositories are an insurmountable problem. Take MX-linux, their base is Debian stable and yet they keep programs and kernels updated; take KDE Neon: Ubuntu long term and Plasma fresh on top; and then there's Arch and its rolling release which I consider to be the most elegant solution, albeit at the cost of some lesser stability.
I really dislike snaps and Flatpaks :><: both in practice and in principle.

Quoting: GuestThe problem with MX-Linux is the UI. Windows XP has similar looks and it's from 2001.

Come, come, you're not serious, this is Linux, you can make any Distro look like whatever.
