You can install Heroic Games launcher, which is an alternative Epic + GOG front-end (it also works on Windows and is apparently better than the real thing). You can use it to manage the compatibility layers similarly to Steam, but in my experience its function is on a game-by-game basis

As another commenter has said, go through ProtonDB and check all the games you can't live without

I remember not being able to sell PC games second-hand in 2005 due to all the DRM on it, long before Steam became as ubiquitous as it is today

Also I'm pretty sure SteamOS is just a fork of Arch with drivers specifically designed for the deck's controls. Hell, there's a fork of SteamOS that AFAIK gives you the same experience as SteamOS (HoloISO), which wouldn't be possible with proprietary software

I can't. He wears it too well

Off-topic, but there's a cat that lives nearby that has your name

tbf, by earthly standards the surface of the sun is insanely hot

The day we can use biocomputers like that is when criminals start hiding URLs in their DNA to rickroll the police chasing them

Starting now, can't wait for the eternal pressure and existential dread!

The shadiness of the leaders aside, I've always thought that, with how prevalent PEDs are in competitive sports despite all the restrictions, it would be interesting to see how far humans can go if all restrictions are lifted

Technically plants do respire oxygen and produce CO2, its just that the photosynthesis process produces more O2 than they need, so its a net offset 🤓

There have been experiments done since the 1800s proving that plants can survive in a closed environment, presumably by regulating the amount they photosynthesise, so there probably wouldn't be a global loss of plant life

Haven't played Gostwire Tokyo, so I'm not sure exactly how it plays, but you might also enjoy the Witcher 3 and Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor/War. They both have good combat systems and skill trees (although they work quite differently), as well as an open explorable world. I've played Shadow of Mordor (Steam version), so I know that works fine on Linux

Fuck it, give the students maps

Give the teacher maps

Everyone gets a map!

I've used phind a few times and it's pretty good. I'm not sure if it's open source, though

I know I'm a downer sometimes, but those

"Roll to shake hands with the captain of the guard. [Nat 1] You slap him in the face. You're all arrested"

annoy me to no end. The point of rolling is to simulate the possibility of failure for difficult tasks, not for everything you ever do

Not a whole lot of experience distro-hopping here (went from Ubuntu to Endeavour and haven't really changed since) but from what I know it seems like most distros have their place. Arch is highly customisable and all rolling release distros are good for gamers and those who need the latest software. Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, and other LTS distros are good for servers and newcomers (fewer big updates and therefore fewer potential crises)

For the sake of answering the question, I'd say Ubuntu is my least favourite. Its pretty bloated, and then there's the whole snap fiasco

This is why I miss the pre-cantrip days.

Wizard: Oh, I'm out of spell slots. Good thing I dipped a level in Fighter so I can still smash some heads together

US military is already larger than the 4 next largest militaries worldwide IIRC, so no need to worry about being a paper tiger

McConnell literally looks like a zombie. Wish he would just keel over and save everyone from this ongoing headache

Arcology = a word I only learned recently from Stellaris

Do you use a service for the relays, or is it possible to self-host?
