  • You can install Heroic Games launcher, which is an alternative Epic + GOG front-end (it also works on Windows and is apparently better than the real thing). You can use it to manage the compatibility layers similarly to Steam, but in my experience its function is on a game-by-game basis

    As another commenter has said, go through ProtonDB and check all the games you can’t live without



  • Not a whole lot of experience distro-hopping here (went from Ubuntu to Endeavour and haven’t really changed since) but from what I know it seems like most distros have their place. Arch is highly customisable and all rolling release distros are good for gamers and those who need the latest software. Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, and other LTS distros are good for servers and newcomers (fewer big updates and therefore fewer potential crises)

    For the sake of answering the question, I’d say Ubuntu is my least favourite. Its pretty bloated, and then there’s the whole snap fiasco



  • Not an expert, but to me it sounds like the issue is that “on demand” uses the iGPU for regular desktop parts and calls for the dGPU when you switch to something requiring more horsepower

    The problem with this might be that the execution of this is slow and there’s a few seconds between the iGPU switching off and the dGPU switching on






  • BUT, the very people @Prunebutt cited were advocates of violent changes to established oppression. Their critiques of the Bolsheviks stemmed from ongoing mismanagement and oppression.

    Contemporary America had very similar civil rights violations, with the main difference being that the US government was an established authority, while the Bolsheviks were only recently established. Attempting a worker’s strike in the US got people killed; attempting something like the Kronstadt rebellion in the US would have been an even worse bloodbath than the original.






  • Counterpoint:The DM is also a player; one who spent potentially many days working on a setting and campaign to establish a particular mood (definitely not just me).

    I’m not saying that the players have to bend over backwards to keep an encyclopedia of their inventory, but if the DM is running a relatively serious survival-focused campaign that the players have agreed to play, they should keep more careful track of their inventory for arrows, food, material components, etc.

    Plus, this brings value to different proficiencies, like woodworking (for fletching), Brewer’s kits for purifying water, etc.
