I’m gonna say FunnyJunk. It’s mostly right wing memes and downvotes if you say anything close to “I don’t think this Trump gut has it all figured out”

I’ve started using Nobara recently, and I like it a LOT. Makes it really easy for a noob like me to both play games and edit videos. I actually made a Monster Hunter video entirely in Linux with Davinci Resolve, and it worked really well. I’ve been an adobe tool my entire editing life, but I really like the switch I recently made :)

Thanks. I had hoped it’d be the cart itself

Does it write to the card, or does it just write to your storage?

To me, it has to be Gordon Freeman. He represents Valve, and I can’t think of a gaming company more linked to PC gaming than Valve.

I adore king’s quest, space quest and all these classics. Same with Monkey Island, but when it comes to… Well, mascot sounds wrong. Figurehead may be better here, I think Gordon’s ties to Valve gives him a pretty strong case for PC gaming icon.

The goose from untitled goose game doesn’t feel like a PC gaming mascot to me since it’s a single game that’s also on almost every console.

Aye, alright fair enough.

I won’t argue with you.

That’s a bit reductive, don’t you think?

The beauty of Linux is its wonderful ability to be customized. Maybe Xanmod is a good kernel for you if you play games?

Maybe if you use a desktop environment with Wayland, you’ll have less issues with screen sharing in Discord.

It’s always nice to hear what other people’s experiences are. Depending on the distro, updating drivers can be a bit trickier than noobs might expect since “Driver manager” might not actually have the newest drivers, etc.

Telling people to RTFM is all well and good, but why not share the stuff you’ve learned with others who are just getting started?

How to get performance boosts through the newest drivers. How to play games and streaming them on discord without tanking the framerate. How to troubleshoot if something goes wrong. Which kernel to use, etc.

There are so many Nuances to gaming on Linux, so there’s definitely a market for it. Not seen this video yet though, could be just surface level stuff.

Thank you very much! I appreciate it

I was thinking of following a previous comment’s suggestion to install Linux first so it owns the bootloader, and then installing windows later

Good point! Thank you!

Nice! Thanks

Alright. Thank you so much :)

Great suggestion! Thanks

Nice! Thanks

Ah, I already have a dual boot installed, but Windows is currently on the “best” drive while Linux is on a side drive. If I am switching to Linux full time, I would like to have Linux on the main drive and Windows on the side one :)

I get what you mean. I’ve been dual-booting Linux and Windows for a while now, and Linux has been great to me, honestly. It’s just that since Linux was the side-partition and windows was the main one, I had doubts when it came to switching the hierarchy around. I got some great ideas here though, and thank you for your warning. I appreciate it :)

I think that’s entirely fair.

I do wonder how much of that money has gone to the developers themselves, and not just some executive

I never see anyone bring up Queen Leene in the conversation about how to pronounce “Marle”

I think it’s just “Marl” to make the connection to “Leene” feel more natural. “Marl | Leene”.

Marleen

Unless you pronounce it “Marlie” and “Leenie”.

Rambling post incoming:

I love the series, but man am I frustrated by it.

I love when they try to tell a story. Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow is simple, but effective.

The others just build on this, but the best team is still Team Rocket to me. Actual gangsters instead of maniacal, delusional gits who want to end the world… It’s too much.

Team Skull are wonderful as well.

Black and white had a great story and I really, really like Bianca’s journey in that game. She’s not very good at what she does, but she’s compassionate. A little sheltered too. Her dad is always asking her to come back home because he doesn’t believe in her, and with failure after failure almost goes along with it and gives up. I love that she doesn’t.

I also like the villain speech here that Pokémon don’t like being used for fighting, but I really believe that it could’ve been better if they didn’t undermine their own point by fighting with pokemon. I mean, I get that the main dude, Ghetsis was just bluffing, but everyone else believed it, so why didn’t they choose non -violence?

After the series went 3D, I’ve disliked it. I liked X and Y, but I felt like it was a little too light on new stuff. Only 60ish new pokemon feels a bit low. There’s a good game there somewhere, but… It’s not where I want it to be.

Sun and moon was the same. Love the new ideas, but it’s getting bogged down a smidge by performance and repetition.

Sword and Shield definitely has great things going for it with vibes, but lacks substance. No caves, no dungeons, just a led-by-the-hand tour.

The DLC was a smidge better, but even then a little lacking.

Scarlet/Violet barely holds together. It’s ugly as sin, its level progression is whack and the open world does it NO FAVORS! All I want is for pokemon to seem like actual animals in the wild. I wanna see them interact with each other, but they NEVER DO.

Legends Arceus was also the same here, though I like the battle mechanics here. It feels unfinished and while pokemon in your party can interact, the world itself feels… Lacking.

My favorite game in the pokemon series (including spinoffs) would be pokemon mystery dungeon for the story, and Pokemon Snap for the interaction.

Core series would be either Black and White or Heart Gold/Soul Silver. Those games really spoiled us
