This is super helpful, thanks for this!

The Expanse

Hundreds of thousands of Americans are left to die in the streets every day right now, what’s your point?

This is a bad argument, and you know it was. Referring to a group who identify with political beliefs, at their own discretion, as that group, is not the same as “othering” based on ethnic or sexual traits that are predetermined. No where close.

Windows 10 when I made the switch last summer. A full year now on EndeavorOS and I’ll never go back.

Rimworld would be my top suggestion, as others have noted.

I picked up Old World (excellent native Linux support BTW) during this summer sale and have not been able to put it down. If you’re a fan of Civilization style strategy games I’d highly recommend checking it out. I haven’t really enjoyed a Civ game since Civ 4, and Old World feels very similar but fresher and with less jank. it’s got a Crusader Kings style dynasty system with randomized events that adds a layer of role playing your leader and securing their dynasty through heirs you can train/influence.

As for the repeatability, Old World has tons. Each culture plays significantly differently, and each leader has different bonuses that encourage an interesting style of play. Games don’t play the same because of the mentioned event system, but also because learning new technologies is “randomized” as well. New techs are researched based off a selection of 4 drawn tech cards once you finish a previous technology. The card system makes it so you can’t just rush straight to archers and dominate the early game to snowball into a power house every game, but its not truly random so you can “game” the system in your favor to get the techs you want with the tools the game gives you through either unique leader powers, or specific governor roles for example.

The game is super deep while not being off puttingly complex.

You absolutely do not need a gun for black bears lol. If a situation can be handled with a loud noise, a gun is not required.

Grizzlies are obviously another story.

People with dependents are more likely to put up with employers bullshit demands when its not just their own livelyhood on the line.

My steam deck gets so much more play in the summer. My home office and desktop are in the hottest room in my house (because I’m dumb), so being able to hang out on the couch in my cool living room playing Fallout 1 has been a godsend

Very bad take. Do better.

Patented Microsoft Convenience™ at work!

My organization has all of our shared folders INSIDE of the Teams file structure. Supposedly, One Drive should sync with the files inside of Teams, but this never happens. Instead we have people constantly asking for files that are in the shared folders, but because they aren’t manually syncing every time they open the folder, they aren’t seeing shit. Its so goddamm frustrating, but my boss is insistent on keeping everything inside the one app for “convenience”.

THERE’S NOTHING CONVENIENT ABOUT TEAMS AHHHH

I conduct ocular patdowns all the time dude

Man some parts of this thread got weird

Made the switch on EndeavourOS this morning and so far so good. I was hesitant to update to Wayland because I’m still a newb and heard there were issues, but my system is AMD based so no problems (yet).

I like it

Windows -> Mint -> PopOS -> EndeavorOS

I tried Mint for a few days, enjoyed it but wanted something a bit more gaming focused. Tried Pop, had issues getting it set up, got it set up and didn’t like it. Moved to Endeavor, and after a brief learning period, its been everything I wanted in an OS.

I fucking love EndeavorOS

There was a video that came out a while back of Crowder being abusive to his pregnant wife and acting like an all around entitled fucking man baby.

Then she divorced him and now Crowder wants No Fault Divorce to end because a married woman is property or some such shit.
