I think it’s worthwhile to understand that it has nothing to do with you and that it is more a reflection on their professionalism and dedication to their work. That being said things happen and be compassionate to them while not letting people walk all over you.

Stay strong. It’s not about thick skin it’s about empathy I feel.

Thank you for adding the link to the article!

It is true. Not all heroes wear capes. Thanks for saying what I was screaming.

Very informative and well documented and yet found it super entertaining. Thanks for the video link.

You have completely lost the plot. This topic is about Windows and Linux ease of use. I don’t know what you’re talking about anymore.

Perfect. Good solution. Linux only for the elite.

This. This is truth!

Truth!

So that makes the “get good” advice valid? What are you talking about bro? I didn’t say Linux isn’t valid. I think you must have replied to me specifically on accident because your response isn’t germane to my reply. Or if you feel it is please explain. Make sure you use as many polysyllabic words as possible. I think you wrote up one of the Linux documents I’m to understand.

Or maybe I’ll just say: cool story bro.

This is what’s holding the community back. The “get good” advice isn’t really advice and keeps Linux from hitting the mainstream. I get it you’re amazing at Linux but the rest of us shouldn’t have to go back to school to get a computer degree and become a Linux professional in order to use it. This is the same person that replies to questions about Linux with “why do you need the GUI just use the command line instead or it’s dead simple just type: followed by like 80 lines of code that people can’t make heads or tails of because they’re novices. Man I get that you want to flex but it’s a pretty strange flex.

Dave the Diver & Factorio

Those two are the main drivers and the below are games I slot in once I feel like it’s becoming a grind

Vampire Survivors, XCOM: Chimera Squad, and Portals 2

I’m thinking something like AC: Syndicate or Metal Gear might also work as a change of pace. Anyone playing longer form narrative games on the Steam Deck?

Yep. Admittedly I couldn’t imagine an advanced player using the basic Xbox controller setup although I hear from the Switch players that it’s adequate. I could only play with the Steam Controller. It’s already verging on hard work playing it on a customizable multi button trackpad enabled controller that having limited controls would just break me.

And with the trackpad and back buttons and customizable controls it’s genuinely a treat to play. I don’t miss the keyboard/mouse. I even tracked down an old steam controller when I’m playing at home on the big screen.

Factorio. Godanmed Factorio ruining my life.

I get you but I meant for the show as in this specific series hasn’t done one yet but I agree with you that we don’t need another one

I know this is a staple troupe that shows drag out but who actually enjoys these musical episodes. Like I get it, it’s novel but I’m not sure if I’m the demographic but since a lot of the shows I’ve watched has had these episodes I’m wondering if I’m not supposed to like them also… but the record I’m skipping this one. All the singing is cringe and gets in the way of the storytelling. I’m fine with zany antics but not with random song and dance escapades.
