  • Linux systems are usually laid bare for people to tinker with, which for me is specially good if I see something I don’t like, be it software, UI or UX.

    Plus, most PC’s I’ve seen from at least the past ~20 years can run Linux, so if I get my hands on a working PC, Linux becomes an easy choice.

    Plus², Linux can be made very privacy friendly.



  • Got a gaming laptop some months ago, and it is actually very powerful indeed. But it came with Win11 by default, only requiring the final setup. Now… How can a system lag a decent laptop so much.

    Needless to say, it didn’t take much for me to decide to swap for good ol’ Mint Xfce, and even try out a few other Linux systems, and now, pretty much everything runs flawlessly, at most requiring to avoid using the ultra settings.

    But indeed, Windows is bloat incarnated, and it only gets worse. So much so it even feels like Win10 on a VM can clog the whole system. Weird how that doesn’t happen with Win7, no matter how long I leave it open on a VM.


  • Dunno when/how a game is classified a classic, but since PS2 is from the 6th gen, guess I have some suggestions! =D
    Ultimate Ninja 5 is pretty cool, I think. Don’t like the anime much, but gameplay loop still feels pretty good nowadays. Only released on PAL and NTSC-J regions, though.
    Dragon Ball - Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is also pretty fun, coming from someone that also doesn’t like the series it comes from.
    I guess Godzilla: Unleashed could count as fighting game too? If so, I recommend it too.






  • I’d suggest Linux Mint.

    • Simple UI
    • (Xfce version specifically) is very fast (within reason; it’s still a modern OS)
    • It’s already pretty keyboard-centric and it can be improved further if you like tinkering (my reason for dropping Windows was precisely lack of keyboard-centric controls, so if I stick to Mint, I guess it’s good on that front)
    • Keys can be custom mapped, although I guess most bigger Linux systems allow that either out of the box, or through 3rd party software
    • Unsure what a “dotfile” is, so can’t comment on that
    • And Mint is still slowly adding animations to its functions (to some people’s dismay), and I don’t feel lag when alt-tabbing around, so I guess it is snappy too

  • If I may suggest, start following federated pages too. Each social media has its niche, and now, with federation that allows direct communications, it’s the perfect opportunity to find a social media whose features you like (which you seem to have already gotten), and curate your contents so it’s perfect for you without depending solely on your chosen social media’s niche.


  • Haven’t been around Linux overall for long, with my first proper introduction around early 2021. But from what I hear and read, plus my own observations in those past 2.5 years, even if, most of the time, it’s not “ideal” (as in, “plug and play”), Linux as a whole seems to be getting better and better for gaming. And ever since behemoth Valve came with the Linux-powered Steam Deck, I expect it to help increase Linux’s naturally-slow-but-constant momentum even more.
