Yeah I’m waiting for those. Truth be told, the process of modifying my Arch to have XFCE and remove KDE completely without reinstalling was… A trip. At least for the foreseeable future, I want to leave it as is, since it’s working and it looks very nice to me.

Used Mint with Cinnamon for a long time, but always wanted to try KDE after distrohopping a bit. Had it on when I switched to Arch, but didn’t like how slow it felt on my old laptop so I tried LXQt and then XFCE. I wanted a modern lightweight environment with Wayland support, but I’ll have to wait for it to be implemented. In the meantime, I riced my XFCE just how I like it, and I really like how complete and responsive it is.

Demonoid, absolutely! Warez-bb, and many oldschool GeoCities blogs. I remember one that had portable cracks of any programs you could imagine.

Same thing happened to me a few years ago. My old laptop from 2013 is hardware incompatible with something in modern Windows10 and when it tried installing the late 2019 update it just died. Had to buy a new laptop to keep working.

Today, that same laptop is happily running Arch Linux. I’m still trying to decide what I’ll do with the main gaming PC.

As someone who recently switched to Arch (btw) I finally figured out how much work the distros were doing in the background. Between default applications and configurations, there was a lot of stuff I had to learn to do on the fly. I’m happy with my system now though, since it’s just the way I wanted it to be.

Holy crap, they had to use a custom build of DSDA-Doom to mitigate lag from so many monsters. DSDA is already super efficient and can handle most absurd maps (like Nuts.wad) with no problems. This map was truly something else.

It’s alright. Any problems I could say I had with the gameplay are just parts that they faithfully adapted from the original. The artstyle and mech designs are a little bit different from the originals due to the shift to 3D, but as a game it’s a perfectly good adaptation. Nothing to complain about.

an update for the first remake? now that the third one is about to come out? uh, okay. we take those.

It’s not just about the tech, it’s about their mindset. They’re stuck in that era mentally.

All of them? I’ve always liked (and preferred) Linux for dev work, as I’m just so comfortable around working with the commandline and installing packages that I might need. For that end, any of them would work, you’d just need to set them up with what you want. If you wanna be “cool” and “hacker” you could install Arch and install every last package manually handpicked, or you could go with the most bog standard Ubuntu or Fedora or OpenSUSE. All of them work, it’s only down to your tools. If you like Kali, stick with it.

In the modern age, we all need to be our own archivists, saving whatever we can from a perpetually burning Library of Alexandria. This is why pirates are a community, each one saves a little bit of history that matters to them, and then we share.

access to everything that isn’t bogged down by stupid licensing deals, too. so many things just disappear because someone wants someone else to keep paying for that one song they added in a single episode 15 years ago.

Japan was already living in the 2000’s back in the 80’s. The problem is that 40 years later, they’re still living and thinking in the exact same way.

Welcome to CompSci university! Hope you enjoy your stay. There will be lots of maths. When I did my degree, it was my first experience with Linux too, and it was great. They eventually taught me how to install it myswlf on my laptop, and all of the student network PCs ran Debian. I later became part of the sysadmin team as my internship work, and learned a lot there. Now, 11 years later, I’m still a Linux diehard and much prefer working on it, and have been transferring my gaming over to Linux too.

I don’t know either, and I haven’t been able to use spotify_player in a while, either in my Linux or Windows machines because of that. Already ended up accidentally resetting my Spotify password 2-3 times trying to solve that.

Yes this is pretty great, these games are arguably more fun than regular Raiden but are a bit annoying to emulate.

May I ask why? I’m a recent Arch user, and yay seems just fine for me so far. Haven’t looked into paru much yet. Is it because it’s made on Rust, or are there more/better features?

Why is anyone susprised about this? This is the most predictable outcome.

Then again, you’d probably already have a jailbroken PS1 to play copied games, you could burn them yourself. Or emulate, it’s so easy to emulate PS1 nowadays. No need to spend money importing those copies from China.

Ahhh, true freedom!
