I just reread the entire thread and realized you were talking about EndeavourOS, not Mint. Seems I misread so sorry about that.

I thought I was about to encounter the usual echoes anti-archlinux...not that I would spend the effort to reply, but I was so confused thinking you called the AUR a PPA, Nvidia OOTB better on Mint, or spotify-launcher not being on the official repository. My bad.

I don't really care if there's a higher being, an afterlife, or otherwise.

I'm still scared of the idea of nihilism, but eventually I'll have to prepare myself and at least do something that makes my existence worthwhile.

~~Tell me you haven't used Arch without telling me you haven't used Arch.~~

~~Funny how we've all gotten so used to forming opinions about something we haven't even touched with a ten-foot pole.~~

Edit: me stupid

DXVK definitely made all the unoptimized older games easier to run, compared to running them natively on Windows.

Never a day where a Razer product doesn't have an issue with something in particular.

I did and I'd still downvote, particularly because of the incorrect points contributing to the general quality of that opinion. You can have an opinion but it won't necessarily be correct or justified.

Not bad in my opinion.

Funny because it's what I consider an alternative to Premiere Pro, but not an open-source alternative though.

Literally this. Even though I never faced any of the issues both of you had, but I don't get why it's hard to use Windows.

Linux is meant to be difficult to setup for new users.

Windows is meant to be an asshole to setup for enthusiasts.

Want to use Windows? You need: WSL2, Powertoys, AltDrag, Scoop, and so on.

You want to install thousands of fonts inside hundreds of folders? You have to learn some obscure undocumented Powershell class to make a script that installs all those fonts for you system-wide (or even user scope for that matter).

You also need MSYS2 for stuff like GNU Make, GDB, etc. You can use Visual Studio, but have fun with that because you'll be pulling out hairs every once in a while.

Oh you want to process multiple files with regex? Definitely good luck with that.

It's funny that I find it easier to use Linux, and do everything that I used to do on Windows the same on Linux just as easily.

Edit: powertoys, not powertools. my bad

Fair, but I don't agree with the choices personally speaking.

Photoshop, sure. I've been in groups where you need it to open PSDs to collaborate.

Plex is up for debate. Jellyfin is not there yet, but it's already a viable alternative.

Steam is proprietary because it's a distribution platform for pay-to-play software, not sure why you'd want an open-source alternative.

Unraid, will never use it. Heck, can't see the need to use any NAS-specific operating systems over plain Linux. Yes, it takes a whole lot more to set it up, but it's just as worth as paying $130, or more if you live in a developing country.

Fences, just no. I've used them a long time before, sure they're really useful, but the best alternative is to just not depend on it. I'm faster at typing the name of the application or the folder I want to access, so I use KRunner. Sometimes the best organisation tool is to NOT use a particular organisation tool. If you really need one when dealing with large amounts of data, you can definitely use methods like Zettelkasten, think of extended attributes or metadata.

I'd say it's more of a revelation to me that sitting on the toilet seat itself for long periods causes hemorrhoids, than hemorrhoids being common in general.

I've been there for an hour a couple of times, I've never had it so I would never notice lol. I guess it's time to avoid it altogether.
