I respect the effort he's put into right to repair, and agree (in general) with most of the points he makes about it.
But I also think he's an asshole and we need a better voice for the RtR movement. I've seen him get into fights and strawman people on reddit as corporate shills just for calling his attitude abrasive.
This one is kind of accounted for. It's implied there are protections that can be put in place to prevent it from being summoned with Accio.
Wait, THATS the picture he chose to have put up? The one with the weird tuft of hair sticking up in the back, where he looks like he's holding in a massive shit and has a series of tumor like lumps on his check?
I mean, fuck. If I were Elon rich I'd have Marvel's lead makeup artist on permanent retainer.
I get your point, however the pedant inside me wants to point out that they literally proclaimed Naked Snake "Big Boss" at the end of MGS3.
Also she was called "The Boss".
Bit of warning about KDE:
It is very customizable, but as a by product is also really easy to completely fuck up. The first time I used it (eons ago) I ended up removing the task bar and couldn't figure out how to bring it back or launch programs.
Just spend a bit of time reading up on it and you'll be fine though.
Fedora Silverblue.
Or really any immutable OS; they would have to go way out of their way to even edit system files, much less break the system. I just recommend Silverblue because gnome is really hard for an inexperienced user to break.
Because it's not "just a fancy interface"?
It makes the entire process from purchase to playing completely painless, on top of a large community of people, guides, achievements, etc. I think I'd maybe improve my performance by like...a fraction of a frame per second. Good trade off.
And as others have mentioned, Lutris does a good job if you don't want steam.
Bazzite and Chimera are "SteamOS-like" distros that are more focused on providing a game console like experience.
They're immutable operating systems, and the primary UI is Steam. Definitely usable as a desktop PC but that isn't really their target niche.
More customization = Higher chance something breaks.
Admittedly, chances are it's just something minor like your icons looking weird or transparency breaking, and it's not like it happens very often. However I have had it happen while I'm trying to focus on something and it's definitely an annoyance I could do without.
I like that I can customize on the off chance that I need to fuck with something. But defaults have been getting better and better so i've done it less and less.
