I see Endeavour as Arch with sane defaults. They also use the Arch repos, if the distro dies I’m not really affected.

I also played ff8 before ff7 and largely prefer it. The combat system is a mess but I’ve grown to like it.

I played a bunch of HoMM 3 but I don’t think I understood how to really play the game. That game is a lot more complex than it initially seems and it’s not trivial to me when to add new heroes, explore and split your units.

I like the rolling updates, to be honest. Endeavour has been a wonderful and simple experience. Aside from some NVIDIA issues with Wayland it has been a blast.

Dota is not casual at all, it’s quite competitive. It’s the reason the communication is so toxic.

Couch co-op games are very nice but in my personal experience friends don’t make a habit of gathering to play them. It’s a infrequent ocasion, online gaming is much much easier. Boardgames are a cooler experience if you’re gonna have people frequently at your place.

Sure but the social aspect in games is often pretty toxic.

I played quite a lot of Dota 2 and while communication and cooperation greatly improve your chances of winning… More often then not it was just someone raging hard over minor mistakes.

When I use the linux or web client it asks for a selfie with my ID card when I try to enter a server.

Works fine on Android.

Contacted support, they say my account is not flagged as underage but I have to submit the photo anyway. I told them i won’t.

It’s single thread, one file at a time.

I was told the show is very popular in Australia, is that true?

I don’t really mind the contestants outside Europe, I think it’s pretty cool they invited Australia if Australians are indeed fans of the show.

I feel ashamed that my country is not on this list.

If you want to create keyboard layouts, keyd is very good for that. You can create several keyboard layers and use whatever key you want as a modifier.

I use it to mimic the windows “US International with dead keys” layout that I’ve grown used to but it can do so much more.

I use keyd

Very customizable.

Not with Hyprland, I had to set a nice chunk of variables to make it work properly.

Gaming on linux is surprisingly good right now. Other than those games that require kernel level anti-cheats, most games work really well.

… But in case it wasn’t clear, the user suggesting linux from scratch is joking. Use Linux Mint or Ubuntu if you’re starting your linux journey. Try it on a virtual machine, for instance.

I admire you, friend!

The problem is that I have not yet met a single human who enables a bios password. An attacker can simply boot the bios and disable it.

You can’t install most linux distributions with secure boot enabled.

If you want to install Linux, secure boot limits the distributions you can use. If you don’t then it’s whatever.

You can ask the receptionist “Where is the Linux section?”, walk up to it and there it is. And you can grab a book and skim through it to see whether it suits you.

You can also go to google, ask “How linux works” and skim through the results.

I’m not saying libraries are bad, they’re obviously amazing (and yes, I’ve been to libraries lol). However, in these sort of questions OP is usually looking for personal recommendations, something that you already read, heard about or found interesting to share. Yes library has books, but which book would you personally recommend OP to read? Which one do you like the best and why?

Recommending the library when someone is asking for information on a specific topic is almost as helpful as pointing them to a search engine. “Just google it and use whichever result you like”.
