Switched to Mint over a year ago from win 10 on my desktop and my wives laptop, we both love it. It was fresh, user friendly and familiar in the same time. To be fair we are pretty much average users without any specialized needs, other than gaming.

Later this year I built a new gaming pc 100% with Linux in mind. I am running Bazzite on it and it works absolutely amazing. Bazzite is currently my favourite distro. Im not a distro hopper or a big tinkerer myself, don’t have time for experimenting, so not planning to switch. It just works perfectly.

Exactly. My limit is also under 10 eur for most games on my wishlist, or 20 eur for games Im interested the most.

Pro financial tip: Be a patient gamer. Get the games you are interested in during sales. Fuck FOMO, subscription models and pre-orders.

In my country its usually required for new builds to have 2 methods of heating. People usually have gas or heat pumps as primary but almost all of them puts a fireplace as well in the house, so chimneys here are very common.

I also have a fireplace additional to a heat pump, but I would only use it if there was a power outage for multiple days during winter.

So yeah, fireplaces are mainly for the vibes :)

Agree, the internet is full of useless AI trash “infodumps” and “articles”. Its more and more difficult to find accurat information.

Its just sad that people who know how internet search works for the sake of comfort let someone else decide what they see when searching for stuff.

Stupid people and internet illiterate people exist since the dawn of the internet. Thats not news.

Whats scary is how a new generation of people will lose or not develop basic critical thinking and research skills, and let an algorithm serve up content to them when looking for information.

Many people I know are also using LLMs for searching stuff.

Its just baffling how they can trust a single answer frankensteind together from often unknown sources presented as a fact.

Jeez we are fucked, aren’t we?

Pillars of Eternity 1-2

But please ask me in a hour and probably will give you 3 new favs.

Wow, Im glad Unbound had such poor reviews I never bothered to buy it.

Same. For pictures max size icons.

Love the game, but hate the soundtrack with passion. Its full of mumble rap, auto-tune and weird electronic shit, which was popular at time. (apologies if someone likes it). I just couldt listen to it for more than 10 min.

Oh for Jam-n-L!

Two Worlds 1-2 There are tons of youtubers making joke videos about these games, but against all the jank I alway found them both enjoyable and even I dare say good games. The magic system in particular was amazing.

I know its not the most ideal place, but FB marketplace where I live has lots of old PCs/Laptops for under 50 eur. I would probably start there personally.

As a huge fan of Obsidian I strongly agree with you.

Heard the manual vs automatic argument million times. I learned to drive using manual, my first few cars were all manuals and this is all I knew for a long time.

When we bought our first car together with my wife we got an automatic. She is a less confident driver, and wanted an automatic car. I dont mind it at all, got used to it and now I don’t miss manual at all. She is a much safer driver, under stress or in a sticky situation the manual transmission is a an extra thing to worry about and I feel calmer knowing that she can fully concentrate on the road instead of shifting.

I think manual is great for experienced drivers, but automatic is so much safer for beginners and people like my wife.

You are not alone. There are so many quality open world action games out there that I never understood the hype around GTA.

I know this, played Oblivion since day 1 and would also like a faithful remaster/remake.

I just don’t undurstand why do this hate-circlejerk based on leaked unofficial info.
