I’m so torn between “good that the kids learning to do the math” and “kid is still basically paying for Barbie dream house clothing packs which change the actual game exactly 0”

Net positive I think, and good on op for nudging kinder the right direction, but…damn have game companies gotten us under their fingers.

PCs are, steam is not

It’s primary purpose is DRM which is a net burden to society. Everything else you list is to help you forget that.

30% is mad decent. For all the haters on California’s insane tax, steam takes a 3x larger cut on all income, and California build roads with it. Steam maybe develops half-baked features.

The most cleverly disguised url in history. Come on man, don’t be ridiculous.

As far as I can tell it separates the base os from user changes which could break things by forcing you to use containers by annoying you to death any time you’re trying to permanently install a package.

It’s fine but it seems better for servers than users.

I think the new Wayland fork will fix that

Hey hold on, I also hate Ubuntu because of how awful gnome is. Can’t blame everything on snap!

Caddy certainly was the easier option but it’s as complex as nginx now and id argue it’s hard to to use.

It’s actually n-jynx duh

Agreed, it not fair and I appreciate the breakdown. I just get frustrated with the (more common on Lemmy) attitude that it’s up to users to deal with linux’ many many shortcomings for daily use that are in your category 1, especially.

In a world where every tech company sells itself on simplicity, one man has the tenacity to stand up form what’s right to him: telling other people they just should try harder!

Oh facts on that one, still dont really get it tbh but most of my use it’s containered anyway

Lol source pls

I feel like people have an interesting view of techy/advanced/etc

My view is that you need to pick something in line with your goals: some people may be techy but just need something to host files and a web browser and don’t care about new packages or whatever, or modern security or anything. I wouldn’t recommend mint or fedora for a gaming PC regardless of techiness, you know?

1. Find a distro, run into problems
2. Ask for help
3. Get asked why the fuck you chose that distro when it’s obviously for super brains
4. Repeat

To be fair the nobara website is very “pet project” both in the design and also in the frequent warnings about using it for anything real. Is a good distro tho, having said that.

Ohhhhhhhh

Not really

Agreed, this is the distro that worked best for my needs (modern security, without wanting to die from maintenance of that security)
