I finished Nine Sols last month and I can’t recommend it enough. Aside from being a great metroidvania all around: great art, great music, great combat… I was most surprised by how good the story is. The world they built is really cool. Also, it’s currently on sale. Would recommend.

I’ve been meaning to pick it up but I heard it was buggy last I checked. I might wait more on it (patient gamer and all that).

FF14 has taken over most of the MMO hype, but plenty of others like Runescape and Path of Exile are also doing really well. It’s just that if you don’t have people you know actively playing them, you won’t hear much about it.

So basically “there weren’t enough mean spirited reviews on Cosmic so I’ll write my own”. The OP can say he doesn’t like it without making fun of the fanbase and trashing the company for checks notes reporting people’s positive experiences.

Sooo… Cosmic is for the tiny sliver of users that want a DE… that tiles? Or those that buy a System76 machine and never change the DE?

Those that are fed up with GNOME and/or are looking for an alternative DE are a huge chunk of the Linux userbase. That’s literally why they created it. With Gnome reducing customizability and having 5-year old bugs never get fixed and breaking necessary extensions every update, it was warranted.

it feels like the developers are already riding on the endorphins from all the praise and forget their software is after all in a rough state.

Why? They have public milestones and bug trackers while things seem to move at a good pace. At no point are they just sitting on praise doing nothing.

Don’t forget the love hotel thing Nintendo was doing before jumping into video games

Gotta justify having entire teams on standby, so they constantly mess with the UI then do some A/B testing then reverse their testing then call it a day.

Anything US-politics and anything erotic, like almost every community from furry & anime instances. Also every non-English communities like feddit.de and some hobby communities I don’t care for. Over time my feed got way cleaner and more fun to sift through.

Isn’t the consensus that super-fast charging is terrible for battery life?

Google pays Firefox a lot of cash to be the default search engine on their browser.

You have already lost. I have portrayed you as a cringe wojack, and me the handsome chad.

I’ve had zero issues with nvidia on Linux lately. It works flawlessly on newer drivers, even on wayland.

For AI stuff you’d want something with at least an RTX 4060. AMD GPUs for laptops are not great and most of them don’t support AI. Any card that’s good for AI will also be good for gaming so you’ll be fine there.

You probably want something with 32gb of ram, too.

As for pulling out the wifi card, there’s no need. Most laptops let you disable wifi through the BIOS, completely disabling it at a system level.

Dual booting works on anything.

Generally I’d recommend Lenovo Legions, ASUS ROG stuff. If you’re rich you can also look into Razer I guess.

Walking toilet barges into room, starts pissing everywhere

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux-

but settlements are apparently still a thing

Bizarre choice lol, but everything else sounds good. Thanks for the rundown.

I’ve been wanting to try it, how is it? Is it closer to Fallout 4 or Fallout 3/New Vegas?

I seriously dislike that some of the Olympic games end in around 5 minutes. Imagine spending years practicing fencing and then end up getting zero medals just because you had a bad few rounds.

They tried. It was called UWP, but it never caught on and Microsoft quickly realized nobody wanted to use their store or even bother with the new format, so all their games also have a normal x86 version.
