Keeping things simple.

  • Is it me or is (desktop) Linux still a terrible experience?

    Jump

  • I'm not going to say using a different distro will fix all your problems but yeah, your experience is not normal. A lot of this is because Ubuntu is not highly recommended. It's just popular, but there are a bunch of terrible decisions it makes that barely anybody recommends it.

    Of course Ubuntu just threw out the old installer for debian files, and didn’t replace it yet. Wouldn’t want a user to just be able to easily install files!

    Checks out. Ubuntu is also one of the only modern distros that doesn't come with Flatpak, which is a massive store of applications that's quite easy to use and has a huge store of applications.

    May I recommend something like PopOS instead? It's based on Ubuntu so everything from there will work on it, including .deb files. It's basically Ubuntu but with way, WAY saner defaults and a better beginner experience. I think your experience will be a lot better on a nicer distro.

  • Sr. game designer on Warcraft: eat shit Bobby Kotick you pathetic ghoul. waste the millions you didn’t earn from people whose talent and light you will never understand.

    Jump

  • There was also one string of Tweets in which many seniors from the Overwatch crew blamed Kotick for sabotaging the franchise and ruining Overwatch 2 with terrible decisions from higher up getting in the way of development. I really felt that one since I used to be an OW fan.

    Everyone knew something was off when the game director which was extremely passionate (Jeff Kaplan) just straight up left the team after OW2 was announced. Really sucks, but at least we got some context.

  • Nobara 39 Officially Released

    Jump

  • Why chromium is explained in the article (better support for many apps) but you can always change it to firefox, also detailed in the upgrade article.

    I upgraded from 38 to 39 with no issues. It's honestly not hard or dangerous, just copy paste a few lines then paste the last ones to prompt the upgrade. The only catch is that if you had KDE already you won't need to remove some of the packages it tells you about. Don't overthink it imo.

  • Snakebird Complete free on EGS

    Jump

  • Despite looking childish, Snakebird is actually a really good puzzle game that gets very difficult. I played it on my phone and would recommend picking it up.

  • IsItDownRightNow-Community for Lemmy

    Jump

  • It would be kind of ironic to have an isitdown community on Lemmy itself. If an instance it down nobody from there would be able to post, and if the instance the community is made on is down then then none of the posts would federate

  • Undertale's Music Is In Danger

    Jump

  • Why would he sell the music rights to a publisher? He of all people should know to stay indie.

  • If successful, Intel's next generation Battlemage graphics cards will benefit all gamers

    Jump

  • Were they though? After they fixed the drivers and used proper transition layers for directX they're really decent entry-level cards.

  • I know reading is hard but you realize this quote was reason #5 of the many reasons listed... I'm not going to copy-paste the article, it's all relevant info.

  • Removed

    Downfall (Steam Standalone) was Breached. Please read.

  • Whew, I actually had this installed but haven't played in a few weeks.

    Jump

  • Seems like a cool project, but with such weak specs what can one actually do with this?

  • Best text to image generator

    Jump

  • Dall-E 3 is the easiest to use and usually understand prompts the best. You can use it for free via Bing Image Editor.

  • Any recommendations for time loop games?

    Jump

  • May I recommend No-one has to die? It's a bite-sized webgame that I thought was really good, you can finish it in under an hour.

    Also if you're going to play steins;gate I would recommend skipping the sequel (steins;gate 0). It's not good.

  • Heists like seen in Die Hard I actually exist?

    Jump

  • This one is insane. The police response really does feel like it's straight out of an action movie.

    On 7 November at 9:30 am, Operation Magician was under way, commanded by Detective Superintendent Jon Shatford of the Metropolitan Police. A total of two hundred officers were involved in the operation, of which forty were from the Specialist Firearms Command (SCO19). A further sixty armed Flying Squad officers were stationed around the Thames, and twenty on the river itself to hamper any escape attempts. Surveillance officers were disguised as Dome employees. The Millennium Dome's CCTV room was used by the police as a control room.
