I have a loooooot of hours into it, over the years and it’s amazing.

The dev is just one dude, who’s constantly working on it and dropping new content. It’s not monitized. It runs on Linux, in addition to mobile platforms and assumingely windows and Mac as well.

Exactly. If I’m dead, it’s not my problem anymore.

There’s definitely middle ground to be found, and decency to exercise.

Lefty here. I have a queer wife who identifies as non-binary but still identifies as my wife, as well as plenty of trans and queer people in my social circles, and I don’t see the need to word police myself over completely innocent phrases. I don’t think you’re harming anyone by just saying women, when the men or nonbinary people who can get pregnant constitute like a tenth of a percentage of the population.

I go out of my way to make sure the not-straight people in my life feel safe and comfortable around me, but there’s a certain level of pearl clutching over language that I don’t feel the need to engage with. You aren’t being hateful, you’re treating people like human beings, and you get to decide for yourself how you speak.

I’m into other forms of retro electronics and I must warn you. It sounds like you’re veering into hobby territory.

You found this thing. It might be neat. But let’s say you pick it up and find that the batter doesn’t hold a charge very long. Do you buy another one, or do you invest in new tools for tiny electronics, maybe some jewelers style magnification and lighting, and invest time into learning how to service this device, building skills and knowledge from the experience.

To me this sounds great, assuming you can afford a hobby, or find ways to make the hobby affordable. What other interesting directions could the new skills and tools take you in?

Bear in mind folks, Bungie doesn’t support Linux, and as such doesn’t deserve your money even if you have another platform to play it on.

Yep. Stay in those.

I second everything above. If you use Fedora be sure to follow a post install guide, there’s plenty more of them out there. Otherwise, Mint, Ubuntu, and Pop!_OS are great options.

If you want a little more challenge, EndeavourOS and CachyOS are great introductions to Arch. Avoid Manjaro.

I’m really sick of everyone suggesting Bazzite non stop. I’m a serial distro hopper because I love learning about various distros as they grow and change, and bazzite and other immutables have always been problematic and janky for me, and their immutability makes it difficult to problem solve with tried and true resources and methods.

The correct way to refer to the left lane is “the passing lane”

Get in it. Pass someone. Get the fuck back out. If you aren’t passing, you have no business in the passing lane, simple.

And it’s essentially perfect. Just slap the game files in the correct folder and go. Support for modern screen resolutions, runs smooth and stable.

Edit: it also has access to multiplayer. Hop in the official devolutionx discord to find friends to delve with.

Did anyone see the MASSIVE rumble/haptic motors in the grip area? Yeah. This is the answer. They packed a lot of stuff in there.

I knew 4chan would eventually immigrate to Lemmy.

If you’re unfamiliar with the channel, their content is top notch and very consistent. They’re also champions of consumer protection and investigate shady bullshit going on in the tech sector.

I’m not recommending Nvidia. I’m making a point by giving an example of the procedure for installing drivers for the most common GPU (by a wide margin, amd and intel market share accounts for single digit market share) being far more difficult on Debian than other distributions that are more beginner friendly.

Did you even bother to read the thread?

I get so frustrated hearing this take over and over again.

https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers

This is the process for installing the DKMS Nvidia GPU drivers on Debian.

The process to install said drivers on Ubuntu, Pop, Mint, etc, is literally clicking an icon.

Yes, following the manual is easy for you, and easy for me. It’s not easy for the tech illiterate elders in our lives. And it’s not easy for me to drop in weekly to solve their problems either.

I’ve ran Fedora on and off for years, by my measure, it’s not old man proof.

I run CachyOS with Hyprland, after using EndeavourOS for quite some time. I definitely recommend either one, if you’re willing to learn to do things via terminal.

After a fiasco with my 72 year old father in law’s laptop, I no longer recommend Linux Mint to people. On a fairly new Asus, multiple attempts at installing were needed to get it running, and he had constant issues that pushed him away from it. Installed Ubuntu for him, no issues over the past year. Sure it has snaps. He doesn’t know the difference and everything seems to be working fine. The goal is no IT support calls from the old man and Ubuntu achieved it.

Don’t be in debt.
