Always Yoshi, but if he’s already taken then Lakitu or Koopa!

Wow, absolutely beautiful. Very easy on the eyes too.

Depends what kind of games you play. Games like Fortnite, Roblox (though it seems a workaround is being worked on?), R6 won’t work because of their anticheat systems.

Personally, 100% of my Steam library of 200+ games work perfectly on Proton.

Thanks for the info!

For sure. I prefer audio quality but this was easy to use.

I used spotdl to download mine. Though it grabs your music from YouTube, not from Spotify itself (downloads MP3s from YouTube) https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader

You don’t. I don’t make the rules.

I’m gonna vouch for EndeavourOS on this one. It’s Arch based but it has very sane defaults. It’s the spiritual successor to Antergos.

For sure. I daily drove it for a long time many years ago when it was starting.

I tried it again recently when I was looking for a Linux OS for my moms 2009 white MacBook, since the default DE wouldn’t be too hard for her to understand.

I forgot how you legit can’t customize anything without external tools, PPAs and DEB support is disabled and requires a terminal command to enable, which is not user friendly at all for people new to Linux. Their App Store is also super buggy and the updates would make it crash every time I tried to run them, so again, had to resort to the terminal.

Lastly, I was surprised at how poorly it ran. I know it has a Core 2 Duo and « only » 6 GB of RAM, but every other distro I tried (Solus, Mint Cinnamon, Fedora) ram perfectly fine.

It’s just sad because it used to be a nice distro IMO. Now I can’t see myself recommending it.

/rant over, sorry

Arch Linux all the way. I love the AUR, the Arch wiki (though it applies to a lot of distros) and customizable it is.

I’ve had a Mac for a few years, but the Linux « itch » came back and I couldn’t scratch it with macOS.

Now I see just how snappier Linux is compared to Windows or macOS on the same hardware and I really don’t wanna go back.

I’m very nostalgic for the Paper Mario games’ soundtracks, especially The Thousand Year Door’s.

It always depends if you have proprietary hardware. I have multiple Macs at home I use as servers on Linux and the Broadcom wifi cards are a mess. But once you know what to do, it works well.

I think that’s the reason why they’re being downvoted. It’s not true anymore. It used to be an issue, sure. But the same can be said about reinstalling windows without drivers.

Im excited to get to it !! My boyfriend’s playing it but I don’t want spoilers haha

That backlog huh :) And yes, for sure I will!

I came back to Linux about a month ago. I was nervous at first that my stuff wouldn’t work, it required a bit of tweaking to get everything how I want it, but I’m happy to be here :) I use Arch btw

I grabbed the entire PIKMIN series on Switch and will start playing them this weekend. I’m very excited, I’ve never played any of them!

I’m also a part of that percentage. I tried Arch Linux for gaming and all my games worked fine on it. So I backed up my stuff and wiped my drives clean.

No trace of windows left and I do all my gaming on Arch. :)

10+ years here, not sure how long because I deleted my account.

I deleted it towards the end of June, when Christian announced Apollo was closing down, and how Spez fucked him by twisting his comments.

I was very active in *Nix subs, like Linux, Ubuntu, elementaryOS, helping users. I was also active in the macOS patching subs (mojave / Catalina / OpenCore legacy), with guides and news. So there’s definitely some substance lost by me deleting all my posts / comments. Do I care? Not really.
