Except none of that gaming performance value matters if you can’t get it working in the first place!

People, especially ones new to Linux, shouldn’t have to know or care about the tools you mentioned. Hell, I had to DDG them to find out WTF you were talking about, and I’ve been gaming exclusively on Linux for damn near a decade! They don’t matter, and they’re especially not worth risking fucking up your entire experience for!

Bruh.

runs on a combination of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Debian 12 libraries.

No wonder it works fine in Ubuntu. Why won’t these “switch to Linux” challenges ever just fucking use Ubuntu?! It’s literally the distro that the big companies target!

if it really was the year of the Linux, it shouldn’t be 10 hiccups from install to game.

It isn’t 10 hiccups from install to game, if you just install something normal like Ubuntu or Fedora! The problem here is that the noobs are getting seduced by useless meme distros instead.

Trying to go for a “Linux gaming distro” is the wrong thing to do in the first place, IMO. Even if they’re gamers, they’re switching the computers they use for everything. What they needed was a general-purpose distro and then to install Steam or whatever on top of that.

The notion of a “gaming distro” should be considered harmful for everything other than maybe running it on one of those Steam Deck knock-offs.

Tragedy of the commons. It’s not that they don’t realize the resource is running out; it’s that they want to be the ones to extract as much as possible before it’s gone.

In order to have an effect, the driver has to know about the danger.

Ah, so the same checks you need anyway to make sure the thing can actually be read – because a 2x2 vs 3x3 block might start to get hard to differentiate, for example – also happens to obviate OP’s issue as a coincidental side benefit.

Really? You’d rather have, say, Steven Miller than Trump?

I’ve been saying it for 10 goddamn years now: the fucker should’ve been impeached on Inauguration Day.

This sounds more like it should be a line from Spaceballs than real life.

Lower Decks might actually be my favorite Star Trek, period. Including DS9 and TNG.

Kudzu isn’t as virulent as people think. It looks like it eats entire forests when seen from the highway, but it’s actually only covering the trees on the edge.

This made me ask “has there ever been such a thing?”

The answer is apparently “not yet,” but Dr. Norah Patten will potentially be the first, sometime within a year or so.

Of the three, Coco was the best movie but also by far the least sequel-worthy. WTF else could there possibly be to resolve?!

I suppose they could tell some other story in the same “day of the dead” setting, but it makes no sense for it to be about the same family, let alone titled “Coco”.

Oh jeez, he died only four years after the show ended!

Of course not; it’s the distro that makes the call. But I want the Librewolf folks to make the effort to get accepted by the distro.
