Firefox. They’re still great, people keep freaking out over extremely benign changes.

There’s a 100% chance that his mic issues are not driver related, but instead are Discord’s fault. They are classically awful at providing feature parity for Linux.

Have him fiddle with the audio settings, it’s probably either the echo cancellation or noise reduction. As another commenter mentioned there are third party solutions for both.

FYI for GW2 you can actually use the steam client even if your account is non-steam, you just need to use a launch option – see here https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/wvxqe3/logging_into_guild_wars_2_on_steam_with_an/

To be clear, the vast majority of “games with anti-cheat” work perfectly well on Linux. It’s just the ones where developers have chosen to either explicitly block Linux (e.g. Fortnite) or to use invasive rootkit anti-cheat (e.g. Riot games, FACEIT, etc.) which wouldn’t be allowed to work on Linux anyway because it’s a really stupid idea to let random gaming companies have access to your ring 0.

Great, yeah, both sides are the same huh? Grow a spine.

Reaper supports Linux natively.

While pretty much any distro can do this, I will warn you that it’s not the greatest idea. GNOME and KDE are both massive software suites and you’ll have a lot of redundant programs, e.g. two GUI file managers, and sometimes you’ll get unexpected behavior. There are also some look and feel issues that might crop up with apps getting style hints from two places. Again, it’s nothing super major, and it’s been a while since I’ve done this so maybe it’s improved, but any time I’ve tried I end up rolling back or reinstalling with only one big DE.

It’s much less of an issue to have one big DE and then potentially several other more modular window managers, as those have much less opinionated payloads. I’ve got sway and hypr installed alongside GNOME.

Linux is just the gateway drug to DotA :p

Just keep shoving those words in my mouth I guess. Blocked.

Dude can you please stop yelling about “blue maga”? You’re acting like voting Democrat is worse than voting Republican.

Right, because he definitely didn’t also increase material support and restart weapons orders that Biden had cancelled.

… Did you forget how Trump said we were literally going to clean out Gaza and make it into a resort once he was in the office? You’re being very disingenuous.

Do you not realize that Bush literally established the Guantanamo Bay DC? The modern GOP are just running plays from Bush and Reagan’s books.

Vim and emacs are the two most popular keyboard-driven text editors, and are something of a meme in the software world.

Really a better analogue would be tiling window managers like sway, i3, bspwm, dwm etc. but they’re also harder to get started with.

“look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power” meme but with Vim (or really this is a rare case where I have to hand it to emacs since it can basically run a whole OS)

Someone else mentioned Prey (2017), I’ll echo that here because for my money it’s the best those games ever get. Also the original System Shock holds up amazingly well.

What specific changes are you talking about? I know everyone hated the UI update (even though the old UI was atrocious), but the gameplay still seems pretty deliberate and slow-paced, at least until you get in a three-team firefight in one compound.

The problem is that too many execs are thinking like this guy. It’s not actually tenable to replace programmers with AI, but people who aren’t programmers are less likely to understand that.

Right and Windows’ direction is so clear and not hype-driven at all
