Popped into their Discord to scan for info, but Discord search is really really bad.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 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.

« Last post by hubol on April 15, 2026, 04:15:52 AM »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!

« Last post by SquareWheel on April 14, 2026, 08:42:43 PM »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.
