Oh god, I love the anime but yeah I can understand that their super loosey-goosey style of episodes would be p bad if you wanted super detailed organizing. The place I’ve been watching them just groups the content into a single episode, since they effectively are broadcast as one single piece, just with (potentially) multiple chapters.
Gonna be real, I haven’t had to bother with my OS for the past two months, so I disagree with a lot of this post. The take I disagree with the most is that things that would be difficult regardless of OS are somehow “harder” in Linux though. Getting old games to run on Windows is also a massive PITA, and oftentimes can be easier on Linux since you can always just run a WINE instance using whatever version of Windows the game was originally intended for. Same for old obscure software, anything from like the XP era does not play nice with Windows 11 in my experience. It sounds like the bigger issue is that you have learned a lot about Windows, and haven’t learned a lot about Linux, so your knowledge base for Windows is better.
The actual issue I think is huge for your hypothetical “middle user” is hardware based. Some hardware is just better for running high performance applications on Linux than others. In my fancy, shiny, top of the line rig, my experience in getting games to work is I download them and run them with Proton. I’ve done no troubleshooting, barely use any applications other than Steam for gaming, and so far have not found a game I wanna play that doesn’t work. On my old Nvidia-based rig that I replaced, however, it was the exact opposite story. Nothing ever worked, I was constantly looking through error logs and trying to troubleshoot, and most of the time the answer was hardware that wasn’t properly supported.
is society not offering real solutions nowadays
no, not really. I see a lot of people pretending there isn’t a problem, a lot of people blaming men for the problem, and some really dumb men blaming women for the problem. Mental health for men is still incredibly stigmatized.
Hey, I’m one of those! Started using Bazzite in July, have absolutely fallen in love. My whole gaming library is available, which has been a real first for me with Linux.
Honestly? Yeah so far. I swapped to Bazzite after getting a new AMD rig in early July. There was a little bit of setup for the first few weeks, but it’s worked perfectly for the whole last month.
I did have many, many issues on my last computer when I was on an Nvidia card though. My impressions are that Linux can be very hardware dependent, and Nvidia is kinda notorious for not supporting their hardware.
spoken like somebody who doesn’t know a thing about security.
Windows 10 is going to be compromised the second it goes end-of-life. There are cybercriminals who’ve been sitting on exploits, potentially for the entire Windows 10 lifecycle, but at the very least for the past year or two. The second Microsoft will no longer commit to patching those, they’ll pounce.
Connecting any operating system to the internet after it goes EoL is just asking for trouble.
Yup, absolutely. I use Bottles to manage mine, and run it with ProtonGE. You can also use Lutris, but I recommend not using their auto-installer and setting it up yourself. The auto-installer is an old, broken community one.
Kinda wild how frequently it’s the same religion being used as a cudgel in SEA, SA, and Africa.
I’ve got some bad news for you about the rich and powerful around the world.
just don’t use gamemode? If anything, I imagine gamemode would be a detriment to running things outside of Steam, which is the use-case OP is looking for.
If your worry is that a corporation will report you for piracy, than you have a false dichotomy. Both SteamOS and especially modern Windows are both corpo controlled platforms. You’d be far better off running something like Bazzite off the handheld if the goal is to get away from closed-source systems. You also wouldn’t have to run things through Steam to get non-steam games working, there’s other options that would still allow you to use Proton as your compatibility layer.
It’s basically only proprietary garbage tho.
The real fun is having to pay extra on an application because you have a pet, then getting to pay an additional pet rent monthly. Also it’s sometimes per pet, literally trying to treat them like bonus tenants.
That can’t be a real sign…
Is that seriously what we’re calling it? The official name is Alligator Alcatraz? America is a parody of a real nation.
Damn that’s such an insult to Goebbels.
The reason there isn’t any other option is because nobody puts in the effort to add other options.
There’s a Simpsons meme currently in Active on 196 rn from 1994 pointing out how ineffective both parties are. People have had longer than I have been alive to work on a third way.
America isn’t collapsing now all of a sudden. People have been passively watching it die for decades.
First time? If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that normies don’t give a fuck and just want their simple distractions, regardless of what the greater cost to society is.
Lots of countries committed colonialism, not many countries committed genocide on the native population and stole their land to create and expand their nation. The U.S. and Israel are members of a short list.

I really, truly, seriously hate modern implementations of AI and am willing to make concessions in my life to avoid using it. Windows 11 forcing Copilot was my last straw for using Microsoft.
