For me, this is the main point, GN has prided itself in integrity and making sure meticulous detail is done on every benchmark, LTT doesn't do that and only worries about pumping out 7-10 videos a week to keep up with the YouTube algorithms (which may or may not be a real issue). I'm inclined to be behind GN on this one.

This is a terrible apology video, what the fuck Linus...I hope they make another video regarding the sexual assault allegations. This is just in bad taste...I mean we're talking almost blizzard levels of sexual harassment and assault stopping short of driving someone to suicide. Fuck these guys and their channel I hope they go under and get buried.

I'm not buying that, there's probably a little bit of truth in there, but honestly it's pretty clear what's happening. The higher ups require a certain amount of videos a week to be profitable, if they don't meet that quota then they're not making money or they think they're not making money. They're also pretty clearly favoring their sponsors and reviewing their products positively without showing actual credible benchmarks. It's the sign of corporate greed creeping in once again and someone finally called out their bullshit. Linus isn't taking it very well, and I can imagine why when someone you thought to be a friend or colleague is now calling you out with credible evidence that you're just bullshitting around and half-assing the product you build from the ground up.

Didn't they just get busted for essentially promoting child focused gambling rings or something along those lines?

This is gonna be an unpopular opinion, but Linux mint. It's great if you're just getting into Linux, it's absolutely terrible when you know what you're doing in Linux. The old package base and kernel just kills me sometimes. I get they want a stable base and use the lts versions of Ubuntu, but my goodness it's always so far behind it's not even worth using if you're on AMD. Thankfully they've realized this after so many years and are releasing an EDGE iso with updated packages and kernel and LMDE is getting a version upgrade.

Legend of Zelda breath of the wild is the absolute worst Zelda I've ever played. I've played and beaten the following: OoT, MM, SS, ALttP, ALbW, LA, Zelda 2. I've almost beaten wind Waker and twilight princess, so you could say I've played a few Zelda games.

BotW is a mix of assassins creed, Minecraft, and Zelda characters with shit dungeons. The divine beasts are garbage replacements for dungeons and shrines are not a replacement for dungeons either, it's just a terrible Zelda, but a decent open world game.

Not really true at all. If all you care about is raw performance, then that's debatable, but if you're talking ease of use then Linux is fine. Just grab a distro with an Nvidia ISO like pop_os and install, nothing else left to do.

EndeavourOS, it just works really well and never breaks. The only time I had an issue was when I was using the Zen kernel and it locked up installing league of legends and watching a YouTube video at the same time. Using the mainline kernel though gives me no issues.

That's great, but as long as the master sword "drains energy", shields and other weapons break, and dungeons are lacking I'm gonna pass. The merging and crafting mechanics are cool, but I'm not playing Zelda Minecraft edition, I'm trying to play a legend of Zelda game. Building makeshift helicopters and hover crafts aren't really what I'm looking for in a Zelda.

Probably a fine that's simply justified as "operating costs". It's actually kinda bullshit, they shouldn't be allowed to buy up all the NA competition. Next is probably EA. Thankfully Sony saw this coming and started investing in new studios and IP.

Can't up vote this enough, Nobara is great for gaming.

https://www.polygon.com/2018/7/15/17574248/aliens-colonial-marines-fixing-code-typo-ai-xenomorphs yep, a code typo broke the alien AI. Unfortunately for that game though no amount of delays could've helped it, there were many more problems besides the AI. The AI was just the biggest problem.

Final fantasy tactics war of the lions, the dragon quest games, really anything square Enix.

I mean, you kinda prove my point, they probably grew too fast, realized they need more money and are now chasing profit. Linus did it to himself, now corporate greed is stepping in because his way simply wasn't working and he recognized he sucks at running the company. Now they're putting out rushed videos with inaccurate numbers and benchmarks to chase those profits. Like I said, it's clear what's happening.

I honestly don't know, I've had people tell me it's BotW 2.0, so I've stayed clear. The weapon degradation system is what truly pushes me over the edge with these games, and from my understanding TotK still retains that mechanic, so it's a hard pass for me. I've also heard there are real dungeons also, so idk what to think. I'm probably going to skip TotK altogether, I've currently been playing baldurs gate 3 and powering through the guild wars 2 story so I've got plenty of games to play and I don't feel like I'm missing out.

For what it's worth, I've been using an 8bitdo controller for years. I have one that was destroyed by my kids, and my other has been experiencing some odd issues with using rechargeable batteries draining even when it's turned off. I'm not sure what has caused the battery issues, but this is after probably 3 years of constant use so I've gotten my money's worth. I'm considering a new one but I have so many controllers as is it's just not worth it.

KDE Plasma xorg. I use discord streaming quite a bit with friends so Wayland isn't an option and I'm not using a third party discord client since that's against discord ToS.

R.A. Salvatore is just a really good author. The crystal shard is an excellent book and I highly recommend the sword of bedwhyr.

Does this mean cutscenes work with vanilla proton? It worked fine before except for the cutscenes, even proton-ge had some issues running the cutscenes.

Package base is always up to date since it's rolling. The AUR is absolutely fantastic and gives me any obscure application I could ever need. You ever tried installing the marathon trilogy with alephone on fedora? The AUR makes it a single button install. I'm currently running endeavour OS plasma, such a smooth experience.
