Agreed. I’m using Linux Mint XFCE edition. Works great. Mint is still based on Ubuntu 22.04 (Ubuntu Jammy), which is the only down side for me as a developer. Since all packages are very outdated in general.

Mbin is not all bad ;)
Welcome to Mbin :)
Disclaimer: I actually work at ASML.
Sure, no problem: ssh root@euv-deep-space-cleanroom-4
. Followed-by: rm -rf --no-preserve-root /
. I do this all the time, to increase revenue stream.
it is without obligation ;)
Ow I could just click ‘x’
@uhrbaan@mastodon.social spam…?
It’s a long story… I did help Ernest / Kbin for quite a while actually. Feel free to contribute to kbin.
This is exactly the reason I forked kbin in the past, the fork is community-focused called Mbin.
Try Linux Mint with XFCE. I don’t see this RAM usage issue at all. I have Firefox open with several other apps in the background again running XFCE with Linux Mint (Based on Ubuntu), it’s using 1.9GB RAM total (thus below the 2GB).
Some games might work fine, I mentioned “some” game will fail. Especially if they require you to login first to some kind of auth. server.
Another reason to move to Linux ;P
Nope… Some games will fail to start if the “main” server is down or some authentication server or whatever server it nowadays might depend on. So even if you install a game now and let it rest of years, the changes it will start again over 10 years is very low. I’m not even talking about multiplayer, since multiplayer will be definitively broken by then. And LAN features are no longer implemented by game devs.
I do agree that gamepass will only make matters worse.
I did thought you were crazy in the past indeed. Since digital is the future, right? It might still is, but for some reason all game studios, producers and distributors like ubisoft or steam just create bad software/games. Where you need 24/7 internet connection and doesn’t allow you to own a digital offline copy of the product. It’s not just games.
You have the same problem with Steam already for years… I mean you do not have a physical copy anymore. In fact if Steam is down, you might not be able to download, play or play multiplayer. So you own nothing and be happy - WEF.
I think it also had to do something with Google Assistant that get replaced by LLMs, as stated in the article.
I think there will be a PC launch eventually… Like always.
Ow right! It’s happy cake day for me! Thanks…
