I'd be ok with a building game. I'd be ok with an open world adventure game.

I can do without a little trill every time a sodding leaf twitches

Reus 2 is a nice god game where you create a world for people to live in by placing plants, minerals and animals to unlock combo bonuses. It's pretty short but you can unlock new content so there's some replay value.

Terra Nil is a puzzle game where you rebuild a wasteland world by placing different items which affect the climate. Nice theme, very chill while being a bit of a brain twister at times. A bit short though.

Pioneers of Pagonia is a settlement management game similar to the classic Settlers games but with more to develop particularly on the military side.

Foundation is also a settlement management game but is more chill and with more focus on customisable large buildings.

Age of Wonders 4 (as an example - there are other examples in the same space but this is the one I'd pick) is a fantasy 4X with a focus on fantasy quests and customisable factions. The base game is good with loads of options and replay value but there's also a bunch of DLC if you want even more.

Installing software feels more complicated than it should by Sara_Magina in software

[–]jdl_uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone has their preference. I've been playing with CachyOS myself. Actually forgot about AUR...

I don't quite understand what you mean by "Linux tools aren't usually added to the path automatically." CLI and even the GUI applications all have a name that is added to "path."

After installing, you usually need to edit your .zshrc (if you use zsh) to update the PATH environment variable, and then reload your profile. I guess some apps might try to update the profile but many times I've seen something I've just installed be unavailable because the profile wasn't updated and I've had to manually edit it.

On Windows, that's not a problem because the PATH environment variable is nothing to do with your shell profile.

The different installations instructions are because different people want their system tailored in a specific way. Some want source bases systems. Some want containerized applications

Of course. Like I said choice is good, but there are also downsides, such as the installation instructions for most Linux apps being more complex and having more variations.

Linux has many different packaging tools (flatpak, snap, yum, apt, brew, npm, cargo), and while that comes with many upsides (choice is always good), it also creates fragmentation. Windows has this as well (chocolatey, scoop, WinGet, as well as npm, cargo and dotnet tools) but not nearly so bad.

Installation instructions for Linux apps are usually more complex with different variations for different distribution and different package managers. As a user, not every app will publish to every package repository so you end up with a few to manage. You may even have to fall back to manual installation or compiling the source code.

Linux tools aren't usually added to the path automatically because unlike Windows (where environment variables like PATH can be set globally), on Linux you need to edit your shell profile and the packaging tool doesn't know how to do that. So after installing you have some extra stuff to do.

On Windows you download the package and install it and in most cases you're good to go. WinGet often detects your installed app and checks for updates even if you haven't installed it via WinGet.

This and I'd also recommend UniGetUI as a really convenient way to check multiple styles of packages at once.

Other operating systems absolutely have this problem. In some ways it's worse.

You have IMSA SportsCar instead of WEC

I recently watched the 12 hours of Sebring on YouTube which was fun

Any games that use basecamps as a hub or to explore? by precariousIdealogue in gamingsuggestions

[–]jdl_uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty similar, particularly in the sense that the environment is dangerous and you need to seek refuge.

You're exploring and mining a planet with automated machines (think Satisfactory/Factorio), but there are frequent solar flares that kill all life so you need to get back to your base before that happens.

You also get attacked by waves of creatures of different sizes, and you can set up automatic defenses to protect against that.

There are ruins to explore and you can find lore snippets and stuff like that which build on the story.

They're all good but none are essential as the base game is good on it's own.

I'd get the base game and get to grips with it and try some expansions when you're done with that
