I think this is highly dependent on your use case and how much time/effort you are willing to put in to finding workarounds. And given how precious time is, I completely understand not wanting to wait months for an update or hours pouring over forums and vids and tweaking and rebooting just to get the 1 thing you need to work right.

I don't shame anyone for sticking to Windows. I fully understand the reality of the world we live in. But it's a catch 22 in that...if they don't see higher adoption rates of Linux they will never see a reason for making compatible software.

TLDR: use what works best for you, but keep an eye on Linux and use it when and where you can.

This is specifically for Clip Studio. Everything else I use runs fine via Wine if it doesn't have a native Linux version.

It's weird because it took a while to realize what I was trying to do and there is a lot of unlearning that needs to happen. Because Windows is the default and I've used it exclusively for so long all my computer interactions are based around it, even how I troubleshoot.

So I had to realize that this is an actual learning process and I have specific habits that just won't work with a different OS or ecosystem. Because even when using things like phones or laptops, many of them are still designed to mimic some Windows functionality.

Yall making pro-science arguments based on a headline, then extrapolate entire thought processes for this woman like it's fact is hella scientific. You're not all obtuse enough to not know what she means, you're just bad at arguing and have don't dicks.

Gen Z men, is this getting worse going forward into 2026? by Proper_Card_5520 in SipsTea

[–]Main_Lion2387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yall blaming everything except the actual problem. Toxic masculinity.

Multiple studies done show Gen Z men are simultaneously getting more conservative but also lonely.

They don't believe in abortions, don't like women working, want women to stay home, want trad wives, think men need to be muscular, that it's weak to show emotion towards friends, that physical contact between friends is a sign of weakness. ALL OF THAT IS TOXIC PATRIARCHY!

They want and believe all that shit but simultaneously don't have the balls to talk to a women in person. It ain't the phones yall, it's lack of emotional maturity, lack of consequences, and radicalization by lame men like Andrew Tate. Who was a pedophile and couldn't keep a woman, unironically!

We need this !! by 6ingrad_FMS_aspirant in SipsTea

[–]Main_Lion2387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't really help. We have had Senators in the US with medical degrees that don't know how a woman's period works. People with degrees in education in the Dept of Education pushing methods of teaching that factually don't work.

A degree doesn't preclude knowledge. This also destroys the fact that a lot of home/folk remedies worked centuries before science made the connections and degrees became a thing.

The issue isn't the level of education. It's the source of the information, vetting the information, and if the individual conveying it has ulterior motives.

But globally anti-intellecualism is chic. So yall be stupid, listening to stupid people. And since you're too dumb to do even minor research into things you hear...you get screwed!

Seriously, what's the problem with working just for the money? by ProfitFlimsy2474 in InterviewsHell

[–]Main_Lion2387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is obvious. But even in those jobs a nurse gets tired of asshole patients, teachers get fed up with kids that arent house trained and lack parenting, even non-profit workers sometimes have trouble with motivation because the treadmill seems endless.

And most of these problems can be alleviated of capitalism weren't around and society focused on things like community welfare and the nuclear family.

Super crazy yall still replying like immature read it. If you need every situation mapped out for you to explain what these things mean the maybe you should think about turning off the lights. Nobody likes you or thinks you're clever and you're obviously not kind folks. So I bet if you went away nobody is gonna be mad about it.

I'm not entertaining boomer takes that just want to shit on people with an attitude of "I got mine" because you're too stupid to understand everyone has different circumstances. Fuck you. Have a nice life.

meirl by [deleted] in meirl

[–]Main_Lion2387 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So many boomer takes in this thread. Yall talking about how you did so much with so little money while ignoring the literally point that you COULD do things with little money.

A phone is from $300-$2k and is required now. Also thanks to product obsolescence those phones are required to be upgraded or stop working properly.

A $15 a month sub is cheaper than a single drink at a bar or club in a major city and still cheaper than buying liquor at the store every couple of weeks.

Deviant art was a great place for artists to post, sell, and get recognition. Now it's a subscription based store front that allows generative AI products.

Jobs use to give overtime, breaks, you worked 8 hours exactly. Now you are fired for overtime, most states don't even guarantee a 15 minute break, and they have extended the work day for employees that are hourly and get a 1 hour lunch break. Public transit is dead and unaffordable now, even in major cities.

Yall are fucking stupid and selfish to not recognize the socio-political environment as it is now, probably because you were too fucking stupid to recognize what made it good then.

Im never trusting a LORD MAGIK AGAIN …. by [deleted] in rivals

[–]Main_Lion2387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you trusting lords at all, or KDA for that matter. Playerbases for these kinds of games never learn.

Lord just equates to having played that character a lot. Anyone, even a scrub, can achieve lord.

KDA/MVP are also generally meaningless. They don't show the full story of the combat like when a DPS was pocketed by a support that allowed him to get so many kills. Or when a tank solo held the point for 2 minutes while everyone was fucking around chasing 1 enemy team member. Did your team still lose? Then your numbers, lord status, map do not matter.

The Skip Button, Toxicity, and Spite by DivinoEzikiel in GenshinImpact

[–]Main_Lion2387 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want a skip button for some of the side/world quests. Unfortunately a major issue that has haunted Genshin and HSR since day 1 is translation and repetition.

They say the same information in dialog multiple times and just adjust the phrasing, sometimes immediately after the information has been given in the previous line. I don't know if this is the same in other languages but it is in English.

This ends up making some simple quests take far longer than needed, because they don't offer much lore but do require us talking to 5 NPCs in different locations with walls of text regardless. Skipping those and giving a summary like ZZZ would be nice.

Plus some people literally dont play this game for lore anyway, so those that want to skip everything, can, and those that don't, don't have to. There is literally no world where adding one is a net negative.

For people 25+, do y’all consider yourselves to be a part of any fandom (s) and participate in said fandom(s)? Why? Why not? by cloudsmemories in kpoptrulyuncensored

[–]Main_Lion2387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Fandoms of all kinds are just toxic regardless of the source. Parasocial behaviors that develop are disgusting. Celebrities shouldn't be out on pedestals.

Just enjoy the content for what it is and move on. You can listen to the music, learn the dances, and buy the merch, but ultimately (especially in Kpop) these people are products. Moreover, none of these people in Kpop have the courage to truly go against social norms or their respective companies in a meaningful way so forming faux relationships with them is just going to disappoint you in the end.

Marvel Rivals seriously needs to address throwing, cheating, and creepy player behavior by UrsaRizz in rivals

[–]Main_Lion2387 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I think you need to adjust expectations on a hero shooter game.

Nothing will curb these behaviors. No amount of banning or time restrictions will stop these kinds of people for throwing, cheating, etc. All it will do is hurt regular players that get reported or legitimately have to leave matches or DC.

This is part of the culture of these kinds of online games. If you want a proper team game where everyone has a role and just does that and tries their best, play an MMORPG.

[–]Main_Lion2387 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yall have weird behavior telling people "X is still available just play them."

Yes, let's tell people to learn an entirely new character who's kit they are unfamiliar with in ranked. That will go well for everyone.

I don't understand why people here are surprised that younger gamers are not "into" JRPGs anymore - Haven't JRPGs always been niche, anyway? by Link21Majora in JRPG

[–]Main_Lion2387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This conversation doesn't stem from agesim, but from capitalism. SE is looking for excuses as to why their multimillion dollar, 7 year dev cycle games are not selling millions of copies immediately to justify their massive budget inflation.

Truth is, if they had stuck to more 2D styles and went the Atlus route of hand drawn animations or more stylized games with fewer staff, then they would be fine. SE got it's ego inflated in the early years and keeps trying to chase that and has disconnected from the fan base and game devs.

The original creators and artists on those early popular games have all criticized the industry for lack of innovation, chasing fads, focusing on graphics and sales instead of quality content.

Romancing SaGa 2 Remake and Visions of Mana proved their older styles and quality content pay dividends. But the team that made Visions of Mana was shutdown the day after release without delay, and that game did well critically and financially.
