    Steam? Though I’m not sure I’m loving it… 22 years now… But it worked back then, it still works now, and it hasn’t lost itself to enshitification. It even followed me to linux.

      The enshittification of Steam would really sting and significantly harm PC gaming as a whole.

      As GabeN ages, I really worry about the day when he finally hands control of that company over, because as soon as ROI becomes their primary objective, it’s game over.

      Prioritizing the experience and quality of the platform over profit maximization has actually earned them more money in the long run as they’ve slowly snowballed over all their competitors. I really hope the new stewards understand this and genuinely love gaming as a whole as it seems a lot of decision-makers at Valve currently do.

        Your comment made me realize that when steam finally does succumb to enshittification. All the other pc gaming launchers are going to blame us pc gamers for supporting steam all these years and not using their shitty ass products. Hopefully it’s no time soon

      I’m happy with keepass, but I’ve always been curious about pass.

      Does the browser extension work well? Is there a good solution for using it on android?

    For some 20 years VLC has been installed on my computers though streaming has made it less used than before.

    Steam: not been enshittified yet. Also one of the great forces behind Linux gaming being more mainstream.

    Does the Linux kernel count? It’s been 12 years since I tilted at a faulty network driver on windows 7 and just uninstalled it and did not look back. There has been many different distributions since (now I use arch btw) but the kernel is the same.

    Vi/Vim. Is it intuitive? No. Is it user friendly? Heck no! What it is is everywhere. $20 Chinese travel routers? Yup. Wireless access points? It’s there. If it has a shell you can log into, it almost certainly has it.

          Thanks, again i couldnt quick click with gimp, this looks nice. Have you tried any indesign alternatives?

          Thanks. Been trying to retire my age old PS6 portable app for ages, and want to move to Linux full time, but keep having to go back. GIMP has always been so frustrating to use. I install it, then run away after trying and struggling to do basic stuff.

          Maybe Photogimp will get me there?

        It‘s like photoshop pre-subscription. Just the menus and keyboard shortcuts are a little different. It‘s all I‘ve used for years now, I wouldn‘t know what to do with any other program.

      Don’t worry. They stopped unless you have an order for 200,000 units. My GeForce 1650 has gotten me through some tough years. I sure hope I have the opportunity to affordably upgrade next decade.

      Unless you’re trying for the AAA “BESTEST GRAPHICS EBAR!” you don’t need a super powerful video card anymore. There’s many games, much better too, that don’t require that much hardware to run.

        Big true. I’m obviously not doing any raytracing but it still ran Cyberpunk. And it DLSS is turning out to be bunk but AMD’s FRS algorithm helps with a lot of stuff

            Yeah so many production companies are trying to incentivize you to buy shit.

            Unless they’re using Unreal Engine 5, them they just have no idea wtf they’re doing and you’ll have to read online how to edit the options ini to make it run

        my 2080 (that I think is 5 years old??) is just smashing all the steam games I can throw at it.

          We don’t need raytracing, fake frames, top tier graphics that’ll look obsolete. TF2 is still going strong and it sure as heck isn’t a graphical powerhouse. In fact one of the reasons it’s so popular is it’ll run on essentially a toaster of a computer.

    InkScape.

    I don’t fully know why but vector graphics just work for me in a way that pixel graphics don’t. I love fiddling with vectors.

    Neither have ever failed me unless the files themselves have errors, then that’s beyond their control
