It’s not only the people, it’s the people at specific timepoints, nobody wants a remake of skyrim and another iteration of assassin’s creed is only gonna get a lukewarm reception. Games are lightning in a bottle, their successes are basically impossible to replicate because there’s so many variables at play.

It was obviously a cash grab from the company before fucking off, you can’t reasonably expect a lifetime vpn for 30 bucks. Either it eventually gets repriced, or they start mining all your information like every other “free” vpns.

So where’s this image from?

It’s not quite the same though, the first was a TOS update deep inside a document most people will never read, this is an in your face warning to every nintendo player.

The steam deck is just a small pc running Linux, so yes.

Yes look at Nintendo, shitty visuals and high prices.

Yeah, but I really don’t want my computer to look like my phone.

You might not, but it’s certainly easier to use devices when they behave in similar ways. Like I usually install linux on my relatives PCs simply because if they run into an issue I can troubleshoot it much faster.

You do realise that even though it’s not one of the official Mint variants, it’s still possible to install Gnome on Mint with minimal fuss?

Defaults matter because most people just don’t change them. Also that’s a terrible idea, you’ll run into loads of issues and a lack of support for troubleshooting.

Thing is, everyone has a phone now, and they spend an inordinate amount of time on it. Though I’m not excited about recommending Fedora either, the fact that it doesn’t enable non-free software by default causes a bunch of issues.

Windows interface is also stuck in 2005, and the evidence suggests most people prefer that.

Does it? Most people are spending all their time on their cell phone these days, and that’s much closer to Gnome’s UI. But yeah, anyone accustomed to windows will be better on Mint and cinnamon, however everyone else will be better off on Gnome.

Microsoft is actually the least problematic of the console racket (Sony, Nintendo and MS), games release simultaneously to pc and they offer cross compatibility. Maybe the EU will address it eventually, but i guess mobile takes precedent given that everyone has a cell phone.

the people who provoked Nintendo.

This is my problem with your argument, you’re saying that because of piracy they’re entitled to crack down on emulation. Piracy is just a pretext they’re using here. Emulation is legal and yet they’re doing everything in their power to stop it from happening, this has nothing to do with piracy.

What if he had preordered the game?

Not only that, but you’re also harming the console modding community by incentivizing the publisher to go after homebrew developers and emulator developers. It wasn’t a coincidence that shortly after some asshat streamed an unreleased Zelda game being played on Yuzu, Nintendo decided to finally come down on the emulator with an iron fist.

There’s plenty of ways to stop piracy, Nintendo just doesn’t want you to play outside their walled garden. They could choose to facilitate emulation and let you buy their games from emulators and prevent piracy while not hindering emulation. They could choose to port their games to other platforms. But no, they crack down on emulation because it hurts their bottom line if people don’t have to buy a switch - or whatever to play their games. Fuck Nintendo.

There’s always plenty of good reasons to postpone something and only one to do it now.

Getting mods working for games

Yeah mods can be quite troublesome.

If you use a hard drive other than your os install drive then you need to go to the steam website to get the installer and not use the one in the built in app store.

Sounds like a steam problem.

Non gaming related I’ve had numerous issues trying to manage permissions for my hard drives

Eh, i remember mounting being a bit troublesome a few years back, but current GNOME should take of that for you with very little input on your end. This brings us to PopOS 22 which is starting to get really old at this point, I’d consider moving away to something that’s not left abandoned while they finish up Cosmic.

Setting up dual boot takes like an hour. But yeah, there’s no rush to it, linux will still be there tomorrow. I don’t recommend buying a new pc and changing OS at the same time though. You don’t want to test your new hardware on a system you’re not familiar with.

I was thinking of doing that once I get my new pc.

Why wait? Hard drives don’t have compatibility issues, and you can always just use clonezilla to copy and paste the system to a new NVME SSD later on if you like.

As for the VM it’d probably be better the other way around, gaming on VMs is not that great an experience and gpu passthrough is complicated to setup.
