That's a fair take. We all have different priorities.

We use in home streaming nearly every day now, so it's a must have for me. Remote play together is critical for certain games as well.

Remote play together, local network streaming, etc.

I loved BL1 and 2 so much, my pets are named after characters from the games. The staggered launch of BL3 caused me to forget about it for years after release.

My physical media was destroyed in a fire, but I still have my backed up digital library. We all accept some risk!

I think your primary motivation is violence, not progress. I don't need to be a shill to recognize that.

History is replete with examples of individuals who believed they could create a utopia by killing enough people. Of them, you're not the most enlightened, just the latest.

New Linux user, here is my use case. Distro recommendations? in c/[email protected]

[–] jack 1 points 5 months ago

I ran various Ubuntu flavors, Mint, Pop!, and Debian on a wide array of devices for almost a decade before switching my gaming rig to EndeavourOS last year. I didn't appreciate the snap package issues I was having, and the AUR is an excellent tool to have in the box.

I tried straight arch and probably would have stuck with it if I hadn't royally borked up my audio during the pulseaudio/pipewire transition. I practically live in the command line, but I'm happy to let a well-appointed installer deal with the menial stuff, especially with the knowledge that I'll inevitably have to reinstall someday. It's not like there's a shortage of shit to mess with or a dearth of dumb mistakes I'll make. No matter what you choose, my best advice is to make a separate partition for both home and root. At the very least, that'll give you the ability to easily evaluate different distros or reinstall without worry.

IME running newer kernels tends to be a boon for newer hardware and arch-based distros in particular are a good choice for gaming due to the rise of the Steam Deck. I still prefer Debian on servers and SBCs. Probably never going back to Ubuntu again. YMMV.
