I’m on a fire emblem warriors (3ds) kick.

this would make sense if the game developers were being paid properly to begin with, rather than the leeches that are the c-suite taking more than they should

as a teenager somewhere between 1996 and 1998.

just send it.

redhat 4.1 or maybe 5.2 back around 1996-1998 (plus a freebsd release around the same time). I got a pile of probably 15 discs from walnut creek and they were the only two I could get running. I didn’t have internet access at the time.

nothing. I am a bazzite and bluefin convert. it feels like a dream after 20+ years of futzing about with Linux.

winmodems and modelines were problematic but it was liberating to be able to tinker.

and walnut creek was doing the Lord’s work.

Bazite and bluefin for me, too. been daily driving Linux since the mid-90s and this little cluster of distros is the best experience I’ve had. really feels like everything finally came together.

I regret that I have but a single upvote for you

life is pain

some of us just weren’t meant for greatness, i guess.

I currently use GNOME and would continue to but if it were a low spec machine, probably icewm or jwm.

y’all sure like KDE though 🤢

i am unfamiliar with osprober but if you’re installing it from the AUR, it should be as easy as creating a distrobox container with arch as its base and running the installation command(s) from there, then a single line to export the command to your base system if you want to use it outside of that container.

distrobox will give you access to the AUR and should be installable on any distro but the immutable/atomic approach might be worth looking into. I’ve been running bazzite on my personal machine and bluefin on my work machine for about a year now and it’s been great. the only snag is learning the order of operations for installing things without a reboot.

I am just one data point but both distros have been rock solid for me and half the time I don’t even realize updates had been run unless I see a new feature or something like that.

good luck on your journey!

I love Bazzite and Bluefin. I use the former on my personal machines and the latter on my work laptop. I wonder how Bazzite DX will compare to Bluefin? I’m also curious if there’s a difference between Bluefin and Bluefin DX or if they just started tacking on the extra letters recently?

is cockpit on a server by server basis or can you monitor multiple servers with it?

checkmk user here. i can second the adjustment phase. i tend to ignore my servers but when something goes sideways it’s awesome to have checkmk’s structure in place.

Really love Organic Maps. I live in a semi-rural area, though, so the only issue I’ve had with it is getting it to recognize addresses. I can navigate “close enough” in most cases to get there. Solid project.

my guess would be to reach the widest audience first

Rose colored glasses. I played the hell out of WoW for years from first release and onward. Chat was chaos and if you got invited to someone’s vent server there were usually some jerks. Pseudoanonymity made people brazen.

I played a lot of competitive counter strike and it was the same. Constant trash talking or just nonsense spouting people. Any modern game I play with voice chat built in gets immediately disabled as soon as I start the game for the first time.

Socializing can happen later after a few (positive) interactions but I dont have the mental energy to deal with random folks when I just want to unwind with a game.
