Yes

There are better ways than using Lutris

• Try with Bottles
• add Battle.Net as a non-steam game

Probably not the purpose of this distro but using snaps in this way are a massive benefit for embedded systems

99% of people don’t understand anything about Snaps except from thinking they’re worse than Flatpak

I used to use ~/devbut for years now I use ~/Workspace becaue Eclipse made me do it

Omg BB 🤕

Unfortunately there’s not a lot of choice when it comes to Linux games journalism.

Unsurprising from Liam, he’s and insufferable arse.

How did he get ousted? He setup the Lemmy community as far as I was aware?

Looks like he just quit

I know what you mean, I bought a PSP and PSVita after my Steam Deck and currently I’m using the Vita as my goto emulator, the PSP is great for when I’m out and about and want something smaller.

Battery life on both is great

But what about Only Office?

Etcher is not recommend anymore because it’s adware and there are better free alternative like Impression

In my experience the AUR is useful but almost unnecessary, and if you want to use flatpak you can get away from using the AUR entirely

Who gives a shit!?

I use bookshop.org for books, some of the profits go to Indy bookshops.

Otherwise I use Amazon like a search provider, find the item I like then go straight to retailer or manufacturers website.

Yeah totally, I think to use Arch successfully you need an opinion about what your system needs, and that takes experience with using Linux.

Installation is pretty trivial these days with the install script

Ironically this is how I feel about Arch, for me it’s worked flawlessly for years.

I don’t bother getting in ‘discussions’ about using it, because if other people have problems I’m not going to convince them that I don’t.

But you can roll it in glitter

Very straightforward.

In general, pick big well supported distros.

Smaller more specific distros like Nebara may sound good, but if there are issues, you will have to wait a long time for a small team to fix them, or work it out yourself.

All standard distros can be used for gaming, you may need to find a way to pull in the latest kernel/drivers/packages if you want thr most optimises experience though.
