Heck yes! I like to read in my terminal, and the go fonts are one of the best monospaced serif fonts I’ve found for the purpose

Presumably they just either haven’t made a proper package for opensuse, or their platform detection isn’t perfect. Since Debian based distros are the most common, sometimes companies will only distribute Deb files…

In any case, I’d personally recommend getting steam via flatpak, it works quite well.

You can still use the old Scrivener for free, it's been floating around as an appimage: https://www.appimagehub.com/p/1262832/

I'm afraid I only own the modern Scrivener through the App Store, so I wouldn't be able to install it on my linux machine to test it #^-^;#

Note: while presently only available for mac, I would stick the Arc browser in the league of Vivaldi and Edge. While less customizable than Vivaldi, the level of workspace and tab management it brings are unprecedented.

To second what others have said: VM's aren't suitable for gaming regrettably.

PopOS is a rather reliable distro, and I personally have loved the window tiling features they added, but it should be noted that they only have LTS from a year ago at the moment. I think that's just while they work on their new desktop environment, but the older packages might be a tad bit of a transition coming from Arch.

Except no one can reliably cut 10% off their dietary animal products, because people are terrible at realizing what they eat, and extremely effective at justifying their own habits. Realistically, 10 people cutting their animal products by 10% is completely meaningless.

Cassette beasts was a surprisingly fantastic pokemon clone. I'd take it over any pokemon game tbh.

Aside from that, my mainstays are:

  • Dead Cells
  • Hades
  • Emulation

I'm very aware, as they are the only burgers I eat 😉 But alas, chances are the pictures aren't of veggie burgers

Even more of a dilemma if you’re veggie

I love Helix! It's pretty much replaced Vim for me, which was previously my preferred editor for quick changes, as opposed to loading up VSCode for when I'm putting in some sustained work.

Helix required a small amount muscle memory change, but nothing major, and in return I have a text editor which, due to sensible defaults, is exactly the same on all of my devices. I don't need to mess around with plugins (Vim plugins are fun, mind, but it's kind of a waste of time if Helix meets my needs out of the box.)

It's a good idea, but could still use a bit more time in the oven. If you're comfortable messing around with config files, NixOS has been a significantly more stable way to do an immutable system with my laptop.

For any who were fond of longform writing apps:

  • Scrivener 3 > Scrivener 1.9 is available permanently free as an appimage. It's functional but very ugly.
  • Ulysses > ThiefMD is pretty directly intended to be a clone of Ulysses, though the export isn't up to par yet. Pandoc may help with that, but it's a bit... fiddly...
  • If you really need precise layout, the best option is probably still LaTeX, but it has a pretty steep learning curve.
