At the end of the day, Nobara is pretty much a one-man hobby project. Sure, there is a small community around it nowadays but even then, if the main developer decides to drop it, they’d have hard time keeping up. That’s why I’m usually hesitant to recommend these types of distributions and I’d rather recommend something tried and tested with a big community build over many years.

You don’t like having a toggle to turn off AI?

A lot of soulslike games. I’m terrible with a controller for anything that is not in 2D. I tried Dark Souls 1. Managed to kill Gargoyles, ventured into Darkroot Basin and got filtered. Ents taking 80% of my HP on hit was pretty frustrating too.

Currently going through Warhammer 40K: Inquisitor - Martyr. The game itself is pretty basic, there is honestly not that much variation for skills or builds, the maps are pretty repeatable outside of main storyline and performance is terrible. Still, it scratches that itch that I’ve had for the past few weeks for a hack and slash game. And smashing into a horde of Tyranids with a big hammer is pretty satisfying.

Is Steam the “good guy” in all this? Of course not.

Too bad a lot of people, even here or in other threads, don’t get it, so they willingly cheer for Valve simply because Tim Sweeney sucks.

“I’m going to support billionaire #2 because billionaire #1 is worse” ~woelkchen

I’m honestly not sure whether it’s some huge astroturfing campaing or just people simply sucking off billionaires for no reason, but every time we see ANY criticism towards Valve or Gaben, most of the commenters flock in support of Valve. Underage gambling? Oh, who cares. Lootboxes? Well, that’s okay. Taking 30% cut for games? Uh, actually, that’s not a lot! Gaben owning a ton of yachts? Well, he’s a good guy, so it’s fine. And when Valve got forced by Australian court to create a refund policy, I saw a TON of comments saying it was actually wholesome valve who voluntarily decided to create it. But apparently they get a pass because they’re smart enough to invest in a backup solution (Linux) in case Microsoft fucks them over.

Hey, we don’t talk about that here! Gaben is wholesome and even though he is a billionaire who owns a yacht company funded by lootboxes, he’s one of the good ones!

People seem to forget that without courts of law, the steam refund policy wouldn’t exist. Valve fought tooth and nail to be exempt from that.

“He is one of the good ones, he only has, like, 500 yachts” ~Reddit

I see a lot of comments saying that it’s a good thing but I feel like people needlessly hate new OS versions because of Windows versions and extrapolate it to Android too. Meanwhile, every new Android release is bringing a lot of great features, improving both privacy and security. Just to mention a few, we got:

-Private space

-better permission control

-Granular permissions for photo/video access in apps

-background apps restrictions

-a toggle to disable 2G

And probably a lot more.

Unless it’s opus.

Lack of some multimedia and bluetooth codecs out of the box. You will need a third party repo for those (or flatpak browser/video player)

Just 5 more years and I might think of upgrading over my trusty old RX 580.

It’s this one:

i have win 11 on one of my laptops and I saw this issue. I do a lot of alt-tabbing and it made me go crazy because almost every time that happened, i’d have to minimize my browser and open it again or the webpage (and the browser ui) wouldn’t render correctly.

There is currently an ongoing isssue with Chromium/Electron rendering being almost-unusable with VRR. It was first reported almost a year ago. Microsoft doesn’t care enough to fix it. But hey, at least you get Copilot so it can tell you what registry tweak you have to add to fix it yourself!

ABSØLVE looks fun. I’ll see how well it works on Steam Deck.

I feel like I’m seeing “we finally fixed wifi and bluetooth on pixel devices” every other month.

we built Shield for ourselves

Obviously. Had they built it for consumers, they’d stop supporting it after a year or two.

-hey, you should switch to Linux now, it’s way better than Windows 11, everything works and the community is very helpful
-what? you’re having some issues on Linux? uhh, skill issue, go back to windows lol
