ZRAM is insane
Anyone know of an eli5 on zram? I don't see why just compressing your RAM would make it run better.

If the same game is available and on sale on GOG and Steam, on which platform you rather buy it?
Steam. I need higher Linux compatibility.

Happy Debian Day - going 30 years strong
With increasing enshittification of so many Linux distros, community distros like Debian are more important than ever. Debian, Arch, Void, Gentoo are so important. I hope more people put some life into Mageia and OpenMandriva. We could use some more alternatives.

GOG is doing much better than in 2022

I'd be thrilled to mostly sit and purchase from GoG if they really dedicated to Linux.

The update doesn't let the site use captchas. They're waiting for .18.1, which will.

Lemmy v0.18.0 Release
Thank you for your hard work! I'm a big fan of both systems. What's the alternative for systems relying on captchas keeping out bots though?

Devs Announce FaceIT Anticheat for BattleBit will be compatible with Linux, Steam Deck
Freaking good. I wasn’t buying this due to their previous stance. I’ll watch for a while, but I’d feel a lot better about it.

Kbin: What is your all time favourite video game?
Half Life 1. That game was so ground-breaking, so atmospheric, so interesting in its puzzles and its combat that it just blew my mind and made me a forever fan.

Prefer Kbin, I feel the interface is cleaner and more true to the Fediverse. My complaints are A) It's really hard to just look at a list of your magazines and B) why is the reply box at the bottom of the page?

Unfortunately, no. The roasting process, well, cooks them. You can buy uncooked fresh beans though and plant those.

Mageia 9 released
I honestly think we need community-managed LTS distros. This is a good start.

Can someone explain to me the difference between "community-driven" and "corporate-driven" distributions and its implications?
Additional community distros not mentioned: OpenMandriva, PCLinuxOS, Mageia, NixOS.

Debian supports their version for two years. Then you need to upgrade.
But I just think more options are always good. Only having one just limits us to a mono-culture if we don't want to go with some corporate solution.

Anyone run a Mechwarrior: Destiny game and have tips?

I'm rusty. I had DM'd some DND5e about four years ago, but it's been a while. I've been playing Battletech on tabletop for about 4 months now.

As always, MegaMek is a great resource for this stuff. I sort by year, and then by vehicles. See if there's any names you recognize, like the Manticore or Savannah Master. I sort down to up, then go as close to 3025 as I can. That stuff is Succession Wars stuff, and the standard versions all seem to be great starting points.

HW News - Linus Tech Tips' Terrible Response, ESMC, & Starfield x AMD GPUs
I agree with Steve on everything, this was a huge blunder and fail in messaging from Linus. But you are supposed to reach out and ask for comment before running a story. I was a news reporter and have a master's in public relations.
Edit: Called Linus "Linux"

OK, this I can agree with. And in fairness I was never writing about a big, constantly-updated video channel that was continually talking about itself. But it still screams to me there needs to be a chance at letting them respond.
