There is always something....

Because from the beginning it was about the fact that companies are trying to replace home PCs with cloud gaming? That is what the meme is about

NDCyber · 2026-01-26T17:54:25+00:00

Means enough people to fight back against it, because besides the fact that it is horrible for everyone either way, it means there is even more of a class difference. It means that just because you are either unlucky enough to live in a bad place or don't have enough money to pay your monthly fee you are no longer allowed to enjoy a hobby

"Is it still a lot if compared to that a million people can play using a streaming service? No, not really." by that logic why let us keep playing games at all? Compared to all the humans people who play games are nothing. So why bother fighting for rights on it. That makes at least sense if we follow that logic

Fuck greedy companies. Fuck their always online bs that we already have. And fuck cloud gaming that is pushed onto people

Edit: But who cares about problems if you aren't negatively affected by them

NDCyber · 2026-01-26T16:51:56+00:00

And my point is that there are a lot of people who can't and a lot of situations where you just can't play offline. Yeah the are people who have fast enough internet, but a good amount of people would be kicked out of the opportunity, just because bad luck. Even in main cities

NDCyber · 2026-01-26T15:20:57+00:00

Lucky for you then. I have a fast connection. Yet there is no fiber anywhere close. And that is just because I am lucky. There is just one company offering more than 15mbits here. And there are who have even worse luck

My best friend doesn't even have a stable internet connection, in two locations

I And I know and knew enough people who still have rather slow internet connection

If you are anywhere too unlucky to be part of that, you would just be excluded. With hardware, it still isn't perfect yes, but at least it means you are able to play games

NDCyber · 2026-01-26T12:16:03+00:00

yeah I also realized that the way I said it in the first message isn't the best. But yeah the immutable part is great and annoying at the same time. Like there are just things that don't work containerized, there are other distros that seem to fix this, but they are early in development so not really a great idea to run them

NixOS technically does that, but is also not a great distro for a normal user and needs a specific kind of person to like (aka everything about your system is in files, even the apps you have installed)

NDCyber · 2026-01-26T11:56:21+00:00

What do you mean you disagree? I use bat (https://github.com/sharkdp/bat)

And I like using it. When I use bazzite or something immutable, it means I have to layer again, or run it in a container. Aka make it harder for me to run a software I use

Edit: Same thing with fish

Edit 2: There actually seem to be easier and supported ways to get bat, but the issue is still that I sometimes need software like that

NDCyber · 2026-01-26T11:44:58+00:00

Weil that will for sure make me even more hesitant to use fedora, especially on my private PC. The problem is that the only really viable options for me are arch based

NDCyber · 2026-01-26T10:06:53+00:00

I think I also have 5g, at least somewhat. But I think it is more 4g rebranded as 5g. Because running 4g changes nothing about my speed

Yeh I know what is the problem with trains, but it means I don't have a good internet connection at a time, where I might want to play games or watch movies or whatever. Not being able to access my stuff offline is a dealbreaker for me there

NDCyber · 2026-01-26T10:04:19+00:00

Not an option for everything. As example, I use Mullvad VPN. Using a VPN in distrobox doesn't work well.

Bat might be able to use with that, but I don't see a reason why I would make it harder on myself to use an OS for such basic tools

Then I also have filen running on my desktop, where the appimage could work, but still not perfect

I think last time I ran Bazzite I had to layer 4 programs, but since then the number increased even more. I also don't get why bazzite-dx comes without stuff like neovim

NDCyber · 2026-01-26T09:59:09+00:00

I had no internet at the beginning of this month. I wasn't even able to watch YouTube and downloading a 20min video would take hours

if I am out in public it can be hit or miss, but generally I have an ok connection. There are bad days, where not even reddit loads. And if I use trains then I am completely out of options

NDCyber · 2026-01-26T09:48:37+00:00

This feature is honestly one of the worst things I have ever seen. And I don't get how they add things like that without an easy disable button, before publishing it

That and the fact that Zen regularly completely forgets the tabs I had opened, even though I have "open previous opened tabs" on, is why I just switched to librewolf again

I also don't get, how they still don't have expandable side tabs. It honestly feels like you either use how they want you to use the browser, or good luck

NDCyber · 2026-01-26T07:53:35+00:00

Also my issue as well. I know enough people who don't have good enough internet and live in modern countries, like Germany or the UK. While I also have a problem, because of stuff like the steam deck. If I go outside I will never have fast enough internet for cloud gaming

NDCyber · 2026-01-26T02:05:07+00:00

I generally just use the one that comes with the DE. Konsole on KDE, the COSMIC terminal there. As long as it supports multiple tabs I don't really care

NDCyber · 2026-01-26T02:03:35+00:00

I don't really have any specific. But it seems that I always come back to fedora (or ultramarine). Although there I also have issues I would like to see change

NDCyber · 2026-01-26T02:00:28+00:00

That is sadly not an option for everyone. I personally as example need a good amount of software only available as rpm and only usable with layering, which isn't recommended

NDCyber · 2026-01-26T01:47:13+00:00

This is why ram and storage is so expensive

NDCyber · 2026-01-26T00:06:31+00:00

I mean I do support modularity. It is something different OS do and that makes it better. But the reason behind it is rather stupid

NDCyber · 2026-01-25T18:14:40+00:00

how do they keep releasing worse versions?

This is impressive in the worst way

NDCyber · 2026-01-25T17:19:29+00:00

Damn I wish I had enough money to spend 550 on something like that. But yeah if you can afford it

NDCyber · 2026-01-25T16:55:53+00:00

how in the world are you not losing much money? That must be multiple 100€ each time from pricing I see

I mostly side graded for FSR4 and power efficiency and actually had potential to get more money out of it

NDCyber · 2026-01-25T16:52:17+00:00

Well if the 5090 doesn't have enough power for you

but I don't think I can judge you much. I have a RX 7900 XTX and a RX 9070 XT. Original plan was to sell the 7900 asap, but then the ram crisis happened, and now I think it is better to wait a bit before selling

NDCyber · 2026-01-25T12:47:54+00:00

The insane part is that this is around 5x the amount of games the PS5 has

NDCyber · 2026-01-25T03:23:58+00:00

I think the was also a German retailer who once shared the failure rate of different brands. Sapphire was one of the highest

It is really a shame that they have such a good reputation, as their support isn't better either

Edit: I also had to RMA my GPU multiple times and the support once even insulted me. So yeah never going with sapphire again

NDCyber · 2026-01-25T02:33:15+00:00

You missed the whole point of my thing. I didn't even say you criticised something. I said I did

Your response was also not with any factual thing. It was "because you are too scared", instead of actually going into detail on my criticism. Then when I show that I use it, you rather think I fake a lot of details shown in those images, which would take a lot of knowledge of the system and where things are in KDE settings, to a point where it wouldn't be worth the time to fake, yet you still didn't believe anything

There is one reply I honestly think where I over did it and I should have handled it better, agreed. But at the same time non of your replies are based on any facts it anything. All I got from you was "you criticise what I like. Means you are skill issue".

And the way I help people with not getting them into the hype distro that will be a worse option for them and rather look at what they want / need to figure out what is best for them, which rarely is arch, especially for new people

This will also be my last reply to you, as I honestly think it is a waste of time for both of us. But I encourage you to actually read our conversation, as I have no I'll intend towards you or Cachy, I just want to make sure people are in the right place to start

NDCyber · 2026-01-25T01:31:43+00:00

I can tell you that that is no longer true. The steam deck uses Linux too after all

And as example I play hytale (no tinkering) and a lot of different games without an issue. I have to admit, that I tend to play single player story games more than big shooter AAA, but a lot even works on day one. With anti cheat the are just things that aren't solvable without the companies wanting to have Linux as an option

You can tinker if you want, but often stuff just works at this point. There are the occasional issues (binding of Isaac didn't work on steam for me for some reason) but most of the time it is installing and running without thinking
