More like the Fediverse at large has an issue with people who feel the need to make everything political and if you disagree, they act as if you’re worse than combover mustache man.

I’m here to chat about stuff I like but sadly, I still run into BS politics.

Are you genuinely asking or trying to start an argument? I only ask because that has been a common experience for me on the Fediverse.

Bloated? How so?

I’ve been using it (and its predecessor OpenOffice) for the last decade and a half, and I haven’t looked back. It does literally everything I need it to do and then some. One of the best examples of just how good open source software can be.

This is especially true for the aspects of LibreOffice that she’s going to use most.

Others have listed ProtonDB, which is an absolute necessity. Tweaking Proton versions and the like can be tricky but not too bad, especially if you’re used to using a PC.

There are also tools like Lutris and Heroic Games Launcher for third-party titles and further Proton support.

Oh, and there are also community-made custom Proton versions, such as ProtonGE, which can help if a game is giving you a lot of trouble.

Nice thing about having a dual boot setup is that you can play most of your games on Linux, and then just boot into Windows to play live service games with kernel anticheat. Best of both worlds!

That’s one of many. They claim “no political mods” but only actually take action against political mods of a certain worldview unless there’s enough backlash. I’m down for the “no political mods” policy but it has to be enforced equally.

Hopefully somebody forks it for platforms such as DEG. Vortex is the only objectively good thing that Nexus has done in recent years. Otherwise, I can’t stand those guys. From banning people for asking for a very simple feature that they end up adding a month later, to their more recent issues with censorship, they are not a good platform. The problem is that they’re very easy to use, which makes it harder to move away.

There are boatloads of things that we don’t have tangible, irrefutable evidence for, yet we believe in. It’s called faith. You have faith in things, you just don’t want to admit it. And just because I have faith in things that you don’t doesn’t mean that I don’t have the right to have that faith.

I haven’t used an Ally and I love Steam but objectively, I’d recommend the Deck. Phenomenal ergonomics, amazing software (Bazzite is good but doesn’t compare), good build quality, right-to-repair friendly, Valve is an American business (not important to everyone but it is to me) and you’d be supporting a company that has done nothing but make PC gaming amazing.

I definitely would love to come back if I ever find the time! I had a blast with it back in the day.

I encourage getting one with or without tariffs. 100% worth the money. I also don’t think they’re going to go up in price, particularly not with Valve. I’m fairly certain people are massively overreacting to the tariff thing.

Haven’t played in ages but I was obsessed during the summer of 2014. I always played TR, they feel like the most “legit” faction in the series. As for favorite class, heavy assault was always my go-to.

Did you seriously just do the Ackchyually meme?

I never could get OpenRGB to work on Windows (it’d crash as soon as I launched it and I couldn’t find a solution). I’ll try it when I switch to Linux later this year and see if it works better for me then.

All Scripture is God-breathed. Take it up with Him.

Again, read the Bible. That’s all I’ll say because it’s obvious to me that you’ve probably only read scraps through third parties within the context of progressive “Christianity”.

Read the Bible. Even the apostle Paul reiterates that it’s sinful.

As I said before, it all comes down to the “homophobia” argument. No good reasons, just a hatred of its founder. Pretty sad, if you ask me.

What’s wrong is that we’re on the Fediverse and many here write off Brave because the founder is “homophobic” because he’s a conservative Christian. Sure, they make up all sorts of shallow justifications like “it’s a crypto scam” but it definitely boils down to the “homophobic” whining.

I hope to see more distros do this. Strongly considering buying a Pro license just to support them for doing the right thing. Screw Mozilla.

Spongebob: Battle for Bikini Bottom is a great one. Colorful, fun, complex enough that he can grow with but simplistic enough for him to have fun without constantly needing help.
