Yeah I was thinking something similar. The first Game that came into my head was “Gothic” which I have played since forever (since ive been a little kid) and took me forever to beat for the first time. I don’t know if I would even start playing it today if I didn’t know and love it already. From my perspective today the graphics are outdated and the controls are clunky but it has such a unique heart.

The kernel was almost named freax

Did you know that kernel releases have codenames?

My favourite being 4.0: “Hurr durr I’ma sheep” because I remember taking part in that poll.

I’ve been gaming on Linux exclusively since 2016.

DXVK was an amazing improvement. Steam play makes everything so much easier. And the Steamdeck was a revelation.

I don’t like to play games with other people anyways so Anti-Cheat is no issue for me.

Well the OP is the one who made the Post so they obviously have more of an interest in the question/topic/image etc. Imagine someone posts a photo of their dog and a comment asks for what kind of dog it is for example. Then you would give a comment of the OP more credence than some person who knows neither the Dog nor OP and only has a single image to go off.

Same with your post here, if you answer to my comment “that’s not what I’m asking” I might be more inclined to amend my statement/make another comment than if any “random” that showed up to a thread saying “that’s not what OP was asking”.

Tl;dr: OP starts a post and might have the most interest/immediate knowledge of the subject matter. I wouldn’t say they “own” the post but they just have another relationship than a passerby commenter.

As many people here have pointed out already, it’s highly dependent on what type of Job you’re looking for and in what industry.

When I was applying for my entry level Job (actually an apprenticeship to become a sysadmin), the fact that I was a linux user (especially daily driving Arch) and that I had set up my own self hosted projects was a factor in me being set up in the department that was actually interesting to me (the Linux/Server department) instead of the Windows/Client department but I probably would have gotten the job either way. My work there set me up deeping my path into Linux sysadminship where I still am today.

If it’s suspended I usually open my laptop. If its just locked/screen off I put in my password and press enter because GDM doesn’t need to be first “woken up” before entering the password.

So it’s “the first letter in my password” which is …
