Reminder that Linux has never been better than it is right now for gaming!

Fair fucking point.

The absolute balls on these fascists continues to surprise me. As someone that has worked directly in the journalism industry in the UK for years, it's clear to us all that the opposite is true - What with the various boards and oversight committees practically stuffed to the brim with idiotic ex-tories and conservative interest groups.

This being published at all is all the proof you need to know it's complete bullshit.

Not exactly constructive criticism, appreciate the engagement nonetheless.

Hopefully the next one interests you a little more.

Racist old convicted rapist lashes out at consequences of his shitty actions.

(Semi) Recent convert here from Win11 to Bazzite - Didn't switch due to Win10 EOL but because Windows Recall kept fucking re-enabling itself every time windows updated and it was pissing me off.

I miss playing some games that require kernal level anti-cheat, but that's a small price to pay for me.

The biggest hurdle I have and kind of still have is the difference in package managers and stuff like that. There appimages which I've sorta got my head around, gear lever helps. Then there are .deb files of some programs, some come as .tar.gz or .rpm files.

That's ignoring flatpaks, snaps and other packages like that - I do wish there was a more uniform structure to these that is better explained, often software download pages will list some distros like Ubuntu, Arch & Fedora but miss out many like Bazzite which is fine if you know Bazzite is based on Fedora but if you don't then you're already stuck at that point.

Plus most pieces of software that have instructions for Fedora ask you to use dnf to download stuff, and if you try that in Bazzite it throws a fit and simultaneously tells you that rpm-ostree should be used but also don't use rpm-ostree for things unless you absolutely have to.

I love Bazzite, I'm never going back, but it can be frustrating for sure if you're unfamiliar with things.

I believe a fair system can be brought about because I have to for my kid.

It's no longer enough to be content with mediocrity, I can't rely on coasting through this miserable life with an easy end and no regrets - I've something other than myself to take care of and plan a future for.

There's really no other option for me.

I sincerely hope my party, Plaid Cymru, and our brothers and sisters in the SNP and Sinn Fein follow suit soon.

I'll be honest I've been a political activist since I was fairly young. A good portion of that was activism under the Labour Party. I did at one point believe that the party would, if given the chance, make real political change for us socialists. Change that would be progressive.

I've since been disabused of that notion, I am no longer a member or activist of the Labour party. (I'm in Plaid Cymru now)

So in all fairness, yes there was a time where I was definitely more naïve, though I suppose I never did really consider the state of affairs to be 'Fair'.

Hate to see people's fears being absolutely spot on here. These companies have no real way or financial incentive to keep our data safe.
