What worries me is the pattern that's emerging here. The Italo-Turkish War was a testbed for WW1 technology, The Spanish Civil War was a testbed for WW2 technology, are we getting WW3 after this? :/

This performance gains myth sounds like exactly the same wishful thinking as we used to heard back when Gentoo Linux was The Cool Hotness(tm). 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.

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

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 evenings.

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.

I mean, the iD editor has "Local Knowledge" as one of predefined options for changeset sources. This is just that, except... less local. :)

I mean, they didn't even tell their European allies. This was clearly something they were able to to alone, and for strategic and political reasons, needed to do fully on their own. Kudos to them! 👍

I spent many hours as a kid playing X-Wing.

And it was many hours before I somehow learned that you can actually configure your ship to regenerate both lasers and shields (at the expense of max speed) - until then, I thought I simply have limited ammo, and was frustrated as I was unable to finish a single mission because I always ran out of pew-pew. :)

This could be fun once it's finished.

Ooh, another one? I hope it will be good.

I am currently playing Kathy Rain 2, and quite enjoying it. Before, I played Elroy And The Aliens and a bit older Unforeseen Incidents - both very good adventure games. Let's hope the trend continues. :)

I kind of liked the first one, for a few hours. After that, I remember thinking there is no meaningful progression, or motivation to keep playing, and I never returned to it.

I also remember thinking that the mechanics are enjoyable, but they need an actual game on top of them, instead of a tech demo. Hopefully this is that game. :)

Just report for abusive behavior and move on. Just a quick glance at this user's moderation history should tell you everything you need to know about them. 🙄
