Objectively better

based on my personal opinion

Verokauhu saa välillä huvittavia piirteitä, niin kuin tässä, kun verovähennyksillä kannustetaan kansalaisia hankkimaan omat malli Cajanderit. Mitä jos nyt vaan kiltisti maksettaisiin ne verot, ja annetaan PV:n hankkia varusteet keskitetysti?

It's an online multiplayer FPS, and I don't like getting my ass kicked when I'm not on the clock.

Distro developers were notified a month ago. At least Redhat and Debian have have published fixed versions. This is common procedure.

Smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of preterm birth, and child mortality soon after birth. Second hand smoke isn't healthy for babies, either. It increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, among other, slower and probably more painful ways of dying.

I can’t even remember the last time I pirated a game.

I do. 2008, Sims 2. I owned a legit copy, but the DRM was too much of a hassle, plus I didn't want my kids to scratch the discs. So I pirated a playable, child-proof version.

competitive, multiplayer games. “I do the same thing with the same guns on the same map every day and I’m bored. Gaming is boring.”

Sounds a lot like football, except for the guns. Opposing team has new skins for every game, but the game loop is exactly same for every game, all the game. And the map, oh gods, the map! Notice the singular? Yeah, there's actually just one map. Some background textures change, but functionally it's always the same green rectangle with some lines drawn over.

Some new Debian users, usually coming from Ubuntu, are shocked by problems like "sudo not working in Debian".

Normal users are not going to root around in the registry and twiddle things to mske the OS treat them with respect.

I absolutely agree with you, and this statement is absurd, given the context.

Recently I decided to try out gaming with linux. What was planned to be a weekend project turned into multiweek project, and it included a lot of "rooting around" to get things working the way I wanted them to. Maybe it's linux treating me with respect, when I have to start planning for hibernation when I'm partitioning the drive. Maybe it isn't.

(Aside, Valve has done great work with proton. It's time to reconsider, if games are keeping you from switching over.)

Performance and stability seems to be at the same level it was under windows 10/11. Can't say nothing about standard compliance, nor do I really care in the end.

I'm kinda sure I wasn't missing functionality, either. Then again, my card is old GTX, so DLSS not working is not because of drivers.

ETA: Hibernation requires swap space. Yes, swap file is viable alternative to partition, but I already had a swap partition, albeit too small. Even with partitioning aside, enabling hibernation is tedious compared to windows, where it's literally ten clicks, five with keyboard and five with mouse. And on linux it requires a lot of "rooting around".

My point, if I had one, would be that "boring, repetitive multiplayer games" are so much fun, for so many, that calling people to stop playing them is an exercise in futility.

That said, I find them un-fun, too. Mostly because I constantly get my ass kicked, but also because I enjoy slower, 4x and plot driven games more. To each their own.

For background, my first linux was debian in late 90's. I went through gentoo to ubuntu, until I got mac for work about a decade ago. By then my home rig was single booting windows.

So, given my history with debian, I started with ubuntu, only to realize I don't like its current state. Next up was pop_os, because it's heavily recommended for gaming. After some time I came to conclusion, that everything I know about linux on desktop is badly outdated, so I might as well go heavy and try arch. I chickened out, though, and went with manjaro. It's actually quite nice, save for that hibernation.

Fair enough. I was kidding, but downvoting a joke that lame is well deserved.

Surprisingly enough, nvidia drivers turned out to be the easy part.

Can't remember the first airline proper, but my first flight was with a bush pilot. Old, well beaten floatplane, the first leg of our trip. Took a week to walk back, stopping to fish on every lake along the way.

So, a new not-a-markup-language, only human readable and editable, and objectively better than its predecessor? Well, it's all according to tradition. I believe YAML got its start the same way.

Seems you're not the only one, as some cargo pants have "smart phone pockets". I've a pair of those, and at least iPhone 12 Pro fits.

I didn't need this earworm today.

Youtube requires signing in, but I think it's the same video as in this Polygon article.

It's literally water. Russian voda (water) + ka (diminutive suffix). Vodka = "little water".
