I keep seeing people mentioning NixOS, what’s so unique about it that people like?

Can’t up vote this enough, Nobara is great for gaming.

Wow, that’s a wild point of view. Thank you for sharing, that’s actually really fascinating to see things from another perspective. Unfortunately I don’t think I would ever agree to follow in those world views, but I respect your right to believe them and that’s realistically what both sides need to achieve, mutual respect. So thanks.

EndeavourOS, it just works really well and never breaks. The only time I had an issue was when I was using the Zen kernel and it locked up installing league of legends and watching a YouTube video at the same time. Using the mainline kernel though gives me no issues.

You can choose not to answer and I respect that, I’ve seen you guys post around here a lot. While I have in the past tried to avoid those conversations, I’ve simply never given any of you a chance to speak your mind. Do I believe there are people on lemmy that just want to troll? Absolutely! There’s people like that everywhere, I’m simply trying to understand your perspective because I’ve never engaged in the subject, now I’m intrigued. I’ve gotten to a point where I just have to know what drives you and why. Answer if you want or ignore me, I won’t harass you about it. I’m just trying to give you a chance to speak and explain so I can better understand. There’s no trickery here, I promise.

Can I ask you something? And this is me being genuine here, because I’m clearly out of the loop, but what is it about communism that you think is really great? Just forget about the capitalist propaganda comments, I want your genuine opinion, why is it great and what drew you to it?

Any weapon durability system without a repair mechanic is terrible. There is no strategy to the fights just go down the list of weapons you currently have and hope to kill the enemy before you get to the end of the list. Sure you can use a weapon for the right situation but it’ll break regardless and there’s no way to reasonably get a new one. I essentially speed ran my way to the master sword because of the weapon durability only to find out that even the master sword “breaks”, what a crock of shit.

As for the divine beasts, they weren’t complex at all, they were a shitty representation of a digital rubrics cube and the Ganon bosses were copy/paste with a few changes here and there, nothing complex. The only challenge were the lyonels and even those could be cheesed one way or another.

The building is just too gimmicky for me, it’s so out of place for a Zelda game it ruins the whole experience. I get that it’s the feature and a lot of people like it, but it’s just not for me.

I honestly don’t know, I’ve had people tell me it’s BotW 2.0, so I’ve stayed clear. The weapon degradation system is what truly pushes me over the edge with these games, and from my understanding TotK still retains that mechanic, so it’s a hard pass for me. I’ve also heard there are real dungeons also, so idk what to think. I’m probably going to skip TotK altogether, I’ve currently been playing baldurs gate 3 and powering through the guild wars 2 story so I’ve got plenty of games to play and I don’t feel like I’m missing out.

Legend of Zelda breath of the wild is the absolute worst Zelda I’ve ever played. I’ve played and beaten the following: OoT, MM, SS, ALttP, ALbW, LA, Zelda 2. I’ve almost beaten wind Waker and twilight princess, so you could say I’ve played a few Zelda games.

BotW is a mix of assassins creed, Minecraft, and Zelda characters with shit dungeons. The divine beasts are garbage replacements for dungeons and shrines are not a replacement for dungeons either, it’s just a terrible Zelda, but a decent open world game.

How is MX? What do you like over other distros? I see it at the top of the distrowatch list all the time but I’ve never really found anything special or stand out with the distro.

Yeah there’s just not really a big enough reason to move away from Ubuntu unless you’re really wanting to avoid snaps (which I completely understand)

This is gonna be an unpopular opinion, but Linux mint. It’s great if you’re just getting into Linux, it’s absolutely terrible when you know what you’re doing in Linux. The old package base and kernel just kills me sometimes. I get they want a stable base and use the lts versions of Ubuntu, but my goodness it’s always so far behind it’s not even worth using if you’re on AMD. Thankfully they’ve realized this after so many years and are releasing an EDGE iso with updated packages and kernel and LMDE is getting a version upgrade.

Aliens invading my planet, I sleep. Aliens invading my spacecraft, real shit.

Perfectly understandable, I honestly would love to hear their statement. Especially if it’s something specific they’ve been supporting.

Well then, hexbear troll account, makes complete sense now. I hope you have a good day.

I’m not trying to start a communism vs capitalism debate here, capitalism has its benefits, but that doesn’t mean I support every sick and twisted thing the US does.

This is simply a request for a statement on alleged ties the developer has to human rights violations. I don’t support the incarceration of African Americans one bit and think it’s absolutely disgusting what we’ve done. I don’t support those systems at all. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to prove here. I honestly commend your efforts. You’re clearly passionate about your united states hate boner, there’s nothing wrong with that and that’s the beauty of free speech. However, when you say things like “capitalism bad communism good!” but then turn around and support things like uyhger genocide and slave labor of North Koreans for lumber camps in syberia we have a problem. All of those situations, even the situations that the US has participated in is bad, that doesn’t mean I support them, that’s what I want to hear, do the devs support those human rights violations that they specifically have been tied too.

All of those situations are unacceptable, but come on, none of the articles you posted other than the CIA Wikipedia page and the Syria article (to which I absolutely don’t condone) lists the US as the sole country responsible for those statistics. Regardless of those sources, it’s important to call these things out, which I commend you for trying. Which is why I want a proper statement, not some PR nonsense answer that avoids the subject.

I want a statement on the apparent lemmygrad connections and supporting human rights violations. The recent blog post was a PR non-answer, free speech is important, but human rights violations are just not acceptable.

Edit: it’s obvious at this point there will never be a proper statement. I just want to say that regardless of the country of origin, US, China, EU, South Africa, India, it doesn’t matter to me, all human rights violations are violations and unacceptable. This isn’t a communism vs capitalism debate, this is a situation of whether to support the guy creating this software if that individual supports genocidal tendencies.

Package base is always up to date since it’s rolling. The AUR is absolutely fantastic and gives me any obscure application I could ever need. You ever tried installing the marathon trilogy with alephone on fedora? The AUR makes it a single button install. I’m currently running endeavour OS plasma, such a smooth experience.

R.A. Salvatore is just a really good author. The crystal shard is an excellent book and I highly recommend the sword of bedwhyr.
