It’s a cool concept, but just seems short of what I expected. Seems the majority of good stuff is much much further down the line in it. I’d say Deep Rock is better option for this kind of game. Doing missions and fighting hoards of bugs.
Helldivers 2. I just found it boring. I’m waiting still for my refund, I only haf about 1.5 hours in it. But only 45 minutes of gameplay. I managed to only get a few matches and they were very dry.
I use a t480 for my carry laptop with Gentoo. It’s been solid. Replaced both batteries pretty easily, replaced thermal paste, and it’s good to go again. I paid about 160 got it. I had a t460 as well, but gave that to my gf. Either of those were good and not too expensive for a semi modern computer for general usage.

I used Ubuntu, then Arch, and now Gentoo. Been about 2 years with most of my time on Arch. Gentoo is my favorite though. Just does what I want, how I want.
I like st and kitty depending on the task
I looked at my requirements of being stable and secure, and calyx seemed to have the most focus on that plus having a good outward image. Graphene’s main dev has had a troubled past with criticism.
Calyx is amazing for me, I love it. BUT android auto doesn’t work on it, which is lame. I’ve learned to deal with it and use waze instead.
No, I got a pixel 7 and put calyx on it. Better than any samsung I’ve had. I don’t plan on going back to a closed system ever again.
About 3 years. I wasn’t good with computers because I mostly just didn’t want to mess with them, due to Microsoft being who they are. I started with Ubuntu, went to Arch, Nixos, and now Gentoo is my standard. I got into it because my brother who’s a security programmer recommended it to me. I use much, much more linux than my brother does now. I don’t have any proprietary systems in my home now. All is FOSS.
I use the bin kernel. I don’t change anything that is kernel level, so the default is fine. It cuts down on updates and install by a lot, but more important is that it’s stable. I personally love gentoo, it’s my favorite and I’ve tried basically everything.
I know you’re on ubuntu, but installing programs depends on your distribution. Some programs are in your software library, some aren’t. But there will always be a way to get the program. For instance, I use Gentoo and Mullvad. The way I set it up is with Wireguard so I control it through the terminal, this is because Gentoo has no mullvad app. Otherwise, you can often add new libraries to your system. Again, on Gentoo Steam is not in my repository by default. So, I added the steam repository to my system so I could get it. For Mullvad, I’m pretty sure they offer a deb package, which Ubuntu can use. Otherwise, some other distributions offer a mullvad app in their repository by default. Try other distributions and see what clicks. A lot of linux is experimentation. I personally prefer doing a lot of things fairly manully, so I use Gentoo with essentially only a terminal for control. Linux Mint, Devian, Arch, Void, Nix, Gentoo; there’s tons of choices so there’s going to be something that you click with.
I use it, been using it for a while. Both my desktop and laptop run it. I like it a lot and find it really easy to use. Amytime I find an issue I can pretty quickly fix it and keep my system clean. Games run great, my music production software is great, it’s fast, and just overall very enjoyable to use.
I really wish they’d fix this issue already. I’ve never seen it persistent on any other website before.
I know that, but I still hate having to. Having that as a common issue is just dumb, to me.
The arch breaks were always related to keys. I would run an update and there would always be an error related to the keys. Never had a breakage due to confs.
It’s an one in all tool. I like that I can do almost everything through one program.
Debian, don’t like apt.
Arch, breaks too much.
NixOs, just don’t need the tools it provides.
Any fork of a mainline distro because it’s never as good as the root.
I used arch for a while, but got sick of running repairs every few weeks. I use Gentoo now, it’s stable and good. I have a fuck ton of ram and a good cpu, I also take advantage of binary packages from time to time. I don’t really need to install new things that much after having done the initial install.
It can be used for other stuff. I use dwm and find that on occasion some programs aren’t nice in dwm or don’t work well. So, i suggest having both a tiling and a floating.
Gentoo gaming and music production rig working through mostly tty with dwm as a graphical display. I typically stay on tty until I want to play a game, use modern web, or record a song. Otherwise tty with Links browser.
