    The growth mindset that is intrinsic in questions and comments like this is counterproductive to the goals of the fediverse in my opinion.

    The goal of federated services is not to be the biggest anything in the world. But instead to give places for people who actually care about the quality of The contents they interact with and that it was created by humans.

    If that means that this part of the grand scheme of media stays small… So be it.





  • It would probably be the most point and click on one of the gaming-centric immutable distros. I think nobara is basically a shell for gaming that just happens to have a linux kernel so that might be a good one.

    I, myself, am old… And I use standard distros due to ancient muscle memory and shell scripts from the age of dinosaurs. Usually debian based. Right now I’m on PopOS for my daily driver and really digging it.

    Lutris is a GUI app with normal point and click interface. So even on a ‘normal’ distro I think it may be like 6 clicks to get the battle.net client installed, and then inside bnet you can install wow or hearthstone (and probably the others, but I can’t vouch directly) just as you did in windows.

    Lutris will even give you a nice little bnet icon if you want :)








  • In which way am I complaining? I am explaining why calling a valid solution a bandaid might be construed as belittling their very real knowledge of this process. And how that is a regular pattern in a lot technical fields.

    And don’t give me this shit about ‘I’m not the person you were talking to’ This is an open forum not a direct/private message.


  • You can’t expect people who are knowledgeable about this stuff to just forever accept that someone asks for advice, gets told the solution, and then ignores/belittles the person with knowledge.

    This is our daily life experience. We get hired to be experts, and get told by non-experts that our solutions are not tenable every single day. Only for that solution to eventually be accepted when the user in question figures out their idea was not useful and the expert was correct.

    We have to put up with it at work, we are not obliged to accept it here.

    Whoa! thanks for sharing your experience. Your work was definitely appreciated. 25 years later, mainly due to that silly need to play pirated cartoons for the kiddos, and a CD rom I pulled out of the trash - I am a sysadmin who wears an architect title, and I have built some amazing systems. Maybe if Caldera hadn’t been what it was I wouldn’t have been interested enough to make it work, and to realize a love for unixlike systems. So yeah. Thanks :)
