I'm really enjoying the game, but also agree with the article. Still, it doesn't detract too much from the experience imo.

Given the vitriol against Ubisoft (I'm not commenting on how justified it is), obviously they need to do something to counter it. The anti-woke crowd are an incredibly noisy minority.

The article is a commentary on the Switch 2 launch raffirming it, it talks about the shift happening with the Wii.

Technically correct, famously the best kind of correct. Context be damned.

They moved beyond talking about them and marketing them. Their competitors have not. That's the point being made, not that specs don't matter in any way.

They let Sony and Xbox go head to head on fidelity and meanwhile sold 150 million consoles with Android Phone specs. I'd say that was pretty successful, even if there's a cohort of gamers who were or are unhappy with how capable it was.

I think you might be being a bit dramatic.

I feel like the article you're commenting on undermines your case.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Yes, that's the one.

Mate, that technical detail is hardly useful to someone asking which distro might be good for gaming. The whole thing of distros is they are a collection of opinions around a Linux kernel. Are you really suggesting those differences are meaningless, especially to a beginner?

There are distros with highly customised kernels that are objectively better for gaming (higher and more consistent framerates).

Ask them who their nominated data controller is, then email that person. It's worked very well for me in the past, like they automatically flagged them for the words "data controller".

 

I've been running stock Fedora for about 5 years, but I'm really interested in immutable distros after putting Bazzite on my TV Gaming PC. Batteries-included works well for me in a use case like that.

I have about a decade of experience with containerisation, so leveraging that experience for my desktop is really appealing.

I took a look at Bluefin for my laptop, but it seems to be more opinionated than I'd like. I'm good with having an optimised kernel and tooling that makes sense for an immutable distro, but wasn't a huge fan of preconfigured Gnome extensions and the software I don't want.

I haven't tried Silverblue yet, but I plan to do that next. Vanilla OS is on my list too, but more out of curiosity in how it does things.

My questions are: should I be looking at any other distros? Do I need to shift my expectations of an immutable distro even more?
