This performance gains myth sounds like exactly the same wishful thinking as we used to heard back when Gentoo Linux was The Cool Hotness™. Don’t get me wrong, Gentoo was great, but its added value was not in the compiler optimizations, but rather in the modularity, where you could select a feature set you wanted for your system, and not worry about useless dependencies, their associated support libraries and bugs or vulnerabilities in those.

And when it comes to the kernel, can compile your own on any distribution, including using or omitting any kernel patches you want.

Indeed. My first EUV game will be the waiting game. Two, maybe three years to see how they finish and flesh out this particular early access title.

A potentially interesting topic, but the style in which this article is written is very irritating. It’s trying to put words into the reader’s mouth, and most of the “replies” are rather insulting and overtly stereotypical.

Back onto the topic itself - some runners run away from something bad in their lives, or have adopted addiction to running to replace some other addiction, usually drugs or overworking. I know a few like that personally, and they are indeed unhappy.

I kind of stopped playing after I got all the repeatable techs, and got my interplanetary resource distribution network going among all the planets. Next step would be scaling up towards better and better quality on everything, but I find that my motivation is lacking. I haven’t even launched Factorio in months - I started playing Techtonica, and will move on to Satisfactory next.

If fascists did not have double standards, they’d have no standards at all.

I don’t play enough to have formed a habit, I feel like one playthrough is more than enough. :) But in my game, I stayed on my starter base, only expanded around it, with enough space for incoming raw resource trains.

Debian has no software and no ports like system which makes it difficult to get software.

Oh boy. So much ignorance concentrated in so few words. 😬

That works until there is a critical security issue which doesn’t care about your free time, but needs an update right now, and you might not be able to only apply the security fix, because your rolling distro gallops ahead in package version numbers.

Give me older, but stable and boring over that any day. :)

I’ve been running Gentoo and Arch on my primary desktop PC for years back when I was a student and had oodles of free time, but in past decade, Debian is what I need. Including what little gaming I do some evening.

Debian (or Linux Mint Debian Edition) - ol’ reliable, may have some issues on newer games

Used to, in the first year after Steam Linux client released, because of old libc. But since then, I’ve had only one or two games not work because of nvidia drivers not being new enough.
