I've distrohopped a bit over the years, and used a lot of Windows, but yeah I am running Bazzite right now.  Popped into their Discord to scan for info, but Discord search is really really bad.

I like the idea of an immutable distro.  It's a bit of a pain to have to run a container for some things, but there's a certain cleanliness to it that I appreciate.  I like Fedora for being a good balance of bleeding edge and stable, and KDE is just a nice DE.

One day I might lose my mind enough to get into NixOS, but I'm not that far gone yet.

Re: permissions, Mr. Frenchies, they're something I have to deal with when working with servers, but don't seem to come up much in regular desktop use.  Though I can understand the pain of needing to mark things executable, finding the right octet value, and wondering what a "sticky bit" is.
As someone at work told me, "immutable distros are for idiots". I try not to talk to that person about Linux anymore. I'd definitely break something on Arch anyway, it's enough of a pain getting WINE to work with exes sometimes.

I used Linux for work. It was OK. I like that normal keyboard shortcuts work on it. (macos shortcuts make me very sad!) However basic sound and video things did not work properly and I did not feel like troubleshooting them anymore after a couple hours of running random commands without any improvement. I also found the permissions on directories and files extremely annoying. Another thing that I just don’t have the patience to figure out.

So I still use Windows, but I have disabled the updates. Updated software generally seems to be worse but also I am pretty cynical. Blah blah security. Whatever. My computer turns on and quickly obeys me!

I can't believe it's been ten years since we relaunched the forum.  How in the heck
I noticed you're in the Bazzite discord, it's the only server we share apparently.

I actually played it last year.  Ran into one bug which I reported, but it was a hoot.  The randomizer and accompanying map worked well.

My fire ability was hidden behind the flowers quest, so I ended up sitting and waiting for most of my group to finish before I could really begin.  While dawdling though, I did find an interesting skip which involved damage boosting off the random ghost event.  That let me explore a bit more than intended.

If any of you have heard of Archipelago, it's a cross-game randomizer where items are distributed across multiple different games. When someone else gets an item for you in their game, it's sent to you, and vice versa.

An Untitled Story has its own Archipelago mod that's pretty functional, I've contributed to it a little bit despite my lack of coding skill. Just thought it might be a little more interesting if any of you did want to replay it but were too familiar with it.
