Is Linux (dumb)user friendly yet?
  • I don't use flatpak but i assume there's a delay between discord and flatpak updates, or even if there is no delay

    just go to software store and click update?

    This would update everything, right? That's usually not what i want when i'm opening discord.

  • Is Linux (dumb)user friendly yet?
  • Sure

    #!/bin/bash
    DIRNAME=$(dirname -- "$( readlink -f -- "$0"; )");
    cd "$DIRNAME"
    wget -O discord.tar.gz 'https://discord.com/api/download/stable?platform=linux&format=tar.gz' && tar xvf discord.tar.gz && rm discord.tar.gz
    

    Edit: DIRNAME is just to find the script location and download/extract there, in case u call the script from somewhere else

  • Mint should be pretty easy to get used to, solid choice IMO, as for the programs

    Word, Excel, ect(I'm fine with alternatives)

    If you're fine with libreoffice, no problems

    Spotify

    Don't know.

    Gimp (would have been a make or break, so I'm glad it's supported)

    No problems

    Brave browser (browser is a browser)

    Not sure if there's a flatpak, U might need to add a PPA, but it's just a one time copy/paste a few commands.

    Steam

    Works fine, but some games might not run or require some tinkering, check games u play on protondb.com

    Discord

    It's a bit annoying because they require u to have the latest version all the time, it won't auto update, and the package might take a while to update, so u either download and update manually every time (it will be a different install than the flatpak package) or use the web version, peraonally i just run a script to download and extract the tar.gz version when there's an update.

  • He can vote too
  • It's the way people classify stuff for some reason, you get 3rd place you're in "top 3", same thing for percentages, get the 91% smartest people (almost everyone) and this guy's in it.

  • Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now
  • AFAIK u get a half release before to get some attention and media/youtubers coverage and people to test your game and make suggestions.

    Then you get another release when exiting EA (notifies whishlist and steam gives boosts visibility to released games for a short while and it gets extended if it goes well)
