2% is more than double the usual share prior to the steam decks release.

You will find it very difficult to get help with game piracy on linux just because the community is very small. If the game has a native release it will be even harder since most linux users want to support developers that do native releases. I’ve only ever tried a couple games that I had no problems with and that was a few years ago. These days if it has a native release I will always just buy it.

EndeavourOS is basically Arch with a nice installer and a few extra QoL packages while Manjaro manages their own repositories and adds things like mhwd that change system management to be a little different than Arch.

I much prefer Endeavour since I already do everything from the command line anyway. Also, while most info about Arch applies to Manjaro it doesn’t always and I found that very annoying when trying to troubleshoot.

I’ve also installed Arch a few times and it went fine, but the Endeavour installer is a much nicer experience.

In the US I’ve never met anyone that uses WhatsApp. I think this is because texting was free for everyone here for a long time before it came out, so there was no real reason to move to a messaging app over what was already built in and free.

It can be good to upgrade anything 1 to 3 times if that brings it into the next tier. If you have an item that is has a level of 620 for example, it is a tier 4 item and upgrading it once to 625 will make it tier 5. You will get plenty of the mats for 1-3 upgrades, its the 4th and 5th upgrades that need rarer mats.

The company giving them away is being sued.

This will always be the best Let’s Play series.

This isn’t far behind, though.

The vast majority of nvidia system breakage complaints I see seem to come from users of Ubuntu or it’s derivatives. I’ve been on arch based distros for 6 years now and every pc or laptop I’ve owned in that time has been nvidia and I have never had any problems.

I know at some point it didn’t work at all with nvidia, but I’ve never had performance issues with it once it was working.

Creating a GUI for changing a few lines of text in a file feels like a lot of extra work for no benefit for most developers.

They fail to mention that when GoT started in 2011, HBO wasn’t available at all without a cable TV subscription, so people who had already dropped cable didn’t have any other choice. HBO streaming without cable didn’t become available until 2015.

Do you really need it when you could use FOSS instead?

This is largely a design decision forcing you to tailor your build to be at least good enough at all content. You can’t be optimal for every type of content with the click of a few buttons.

Very good chance it will be crypto related.

Windows has just become worse and worse over the years. I was building a new PC and realized I wasn’t going to give MS my money for a terrible OS when Linux was free.

I didn’t stick with Linux as a daily driver until I tried Manjaro. Learned enough to be comfortable installing Arch and ran that for a while, but after installing it a few times I was looking something a little bit simpler to setup. I now prefer EndeavourOS which is basically Arch with a nice installer and a few QoL apps.

That is good to know, but if you are missing something it seems you need to package it yourself. I’m sure I could do that, just not sure I really want to be doing it.

I haven’t used NixOS but it does sound interesting. From what I gather all you need is your configuration.nix file to rebuild the entire system the same as it was before. I think for sure the biggest thing I would miss is the AUR.

On google it’s the 4th result for me even in private mode which seems pretty reasonable. The first result is the firefox archwiki page.

I just did the suggested workaround and that worked. It also seems that installing lib32-libnm is probably a better fix, I’ll try that when I get home today.
