The only thing really preinstalled is basic stuff like desktop environments and a few tools to help with updates and manage the system (eos-update, etc). Even almost all the package repositories are the ones maintained by arch.

I guess this could also be based on the distro you use as well as your graphics card. For me, I use EndeavourOS, which is very close to base arch, so I had to do some extra setup to get proton working on it. For some reason, Proton refused to work on the Arch repo’s Steam package, so I had to use the flatpak version instead

I’m so glad that spider’s living its best life even while being crippled

To be fair there still is a lot of tinkering involved to get gaming on Linux working properly (unless you’re on the steamdeck, but even them you’ll have to tinker for anything that’s not verified). Switching proton runners, changing launch options, fighting updates. It’s definitely more than most people are willing to deal with. For me personally, I’ve had to stop updating my video drivers because Nvidia 555 causes all Proton games to crash for me.

I enjoy the experience of tinkering and troubleshooting, so I’m okay with all that, but I completely understand why most people wouldn’t want to use Linux for gaming.

What are you, some kind of masochist?

Yeah I despise Trump but we don’t need to ignore context to make him look bad. He does that plenty without the quote mining

Probably not but I’ve been on the Internet long enough to know not to jump to conclusions without more information

Tbf we don’t know if it was sexting, all we know for sure is that inappropriate messages were sent. Not trying to defend him as his behavior was 100% unacceptable and twitch and Midnight Society were right to drop him, we just don’t know enough to definitively say he was sexting them

Not in 5e

Are you God? Because I don’t even know you exist.

(Please forgive me)

My guess is this was a driver issue, printing out a bunch of unrecognized characters that get replaced with a question mark. This is only a slight educated guess though

Given all the issues they’ve been having I’d argue they aren’t ready

Pretty impressive that they discovered americium before fire

The bigger issue is that if your can have your AI assistant do your job while you’re in vacation, you’ll end up on unpaid vacation permanently

If this dude wasn’t such a conservative nutjob, I would think he was doing a satire
