@HexDSL your peertube videos dont have a language flagged on them.I feel like with such a vast, diverse community language filters are important to finding content. And "unknown" language gets removed by any filter.

@ajdunevent I find that if software is properly packaged, bloat isn't an issue. If a rarely used software starts a service that uses up CPU time, I would disable the service. but I have no shortage of hard drive space, so if it's not running, who cares.

@cosullivan When year is first, its always Y-M-D in my brain... its when year is last that USA gets confused. M-D-Y vs D-M-Y is ambiguous. Granted, I dont know many "common folk" that would do year first though.🤷

@ChrisWere I've found that using something like Debian breaks my dotfiles repo. Inevitably something like rofi will change the format of it's config file as versions change, and Debian having a far out of date version makes it conflict with the bleeding edge config from my gaming machine, or vice versa.

@normandy I'm moving towards m.2 drives for desktop/laptops, and even considering relegating 2.5" SSDs to NASes over spinning drives. It's not AS cost efficient and I'm not there QUITE yet, but we're getting close to that tipping point.

@boilingsteam I would rather be able to play games on Linux than worry about if they are native.Epic took away Rocket League which was "native" so clearly native doesn't mean much.Epic and non-compatible anti-cheats are the primary factor in preventing games on linux. It's much easier to get a developer to skip a library to make their game be fully linux capable than tell them they need to make a full second port.

@boilingsteam Epic buying exclusivity to somehow give gamers more options and then offering a terrible experience even on windows has me a bit salty.Tim Sweeney's attitude has never been great towards Linux, and everything Epic touches seems to turn out poorly for non-Windows OSes. (I doubt EAC would be solved for Linux by now, but I imagine Epic isn't helping).And Psyonix was owned by Epic when they dropped Mac/Linux support. It's not purely EGS related, but it is Epic related, to a degree.

@boilingsteam its a hard comparison to make. Ally clearly has better internals. Better screen. Deck has the touchpads, and I'd always take SteamOS over Windows. HoloOS on the Ally might be very interesting.

@killyourfm "taskbar" ??? I thought using linux meant you had to be tty only.

@thelinuxEXP I mostly like the combat. It's definitely not the same type of game, but to call it a step down isn't fully fair either. Does Civ 5 or Dark Souls have better combat? They aren't comparable.However, I played Crisis Core right before playing FF7 remake, and CC is a far better representation of what the live action combat could be. FF7 is not as good.Try Crisis Core. Maybe you find the new combat isn't for you, or maybe CC will at least illuminate what they were TRYING to do.

@thelinuxEXP Ok Civ vs Dark Souls isn't a fair comparison.X-Com vs Dark Souls. You can have an opinion on which you prefer, but you can't objectively say one "is better".The way I played FF7 remake, it felt very similar to original FF7, except instead of waiting for ATB to fill, you still have other button mashing to do. Dodges are based on actual positioning to a degree instead of just luck.Not flawless, not for everyone. But for an overhaul of FF7 as an action game, it was pretty good.

@thelinuxEXP That's a take I can get behind. Taking a game that is famous for its turn based combat, hyping it up and then not having turn based combat is a very "ummm what?" move.

@killyourfm Early video games had to be sold on simply but catchy mechanics, since graphics were so limited.But also, those games still exist and can still be played. The fact that you don't play them anymore (or enjoy them the same way if you do) is because they aren't novel.Video games were like a jump scare for your brain. Exciting at first, but now you know it's coming, so it doesn't land the same way.New games aren't bad, but they definitely aren't revolutionary in the same way.

@BrodieOnLinux but broken, unpatched software is more "stable" ! Don't you understand?! Software wasn't meant to be "updated." If the devs didnt want you to have those bugs, they wouldn't have written them in the first place.
