Kinda. Redox uses a microkernel architecture and tries to keep only the most important functionality in ring 0 while they push everything else in userspace. It's great.
Endless Sky is amazing and under continuous, active development.
You can build your fleet as large as you want too, which can get insane. There's no cap hard coded in the source - one player I talked to built his fleet with thousands of freighters until his computer started lagging.
Veloren is amazing too. I love collecting lanterns, and taming animals and mounts is great gameplay.
I just bought the Steam Deck. Its amazing. More and more games keep becoming Deck Compatible and the community has uploaded so many controller configurations.
Linux is a gaming OS now and its wild
I read so much bad news every day now, and then something nice like this pops up and I think "well gee maybe things aren't so awful"
This ad blocking tug-of-war game is absolutely fascinating in so many ways. One cannot help but be entertained by the two sets of opposing engineers fighting each other for technological dominance
I love it
Alpine is cool. apk is freakishly fast. I mean, like FREAKishly fast.
PostmarketOS is using Alpine as their base as well.
I had problems with containers though. I would like to revisit it and see if I can get them working
I like seeing work being put into musl as well.
Boxkit, which is Alpine based, is probably the most useful OCI container OOTB: https://github.com/ublue-os/boxkit
Lots of cool stuff. Don't stop the learnin'
I'm frustrated too. So much toxicity and bigotry. It hurts the soul and makes you wonder if it's even worth it. But.. there ARE great communities out there. The fantastic ones that make it all worthwhile. I've made some really great friends in my niche communities I've found.
Don't give up, and keep searching for the good people in your online life. Keep them close!
For me its gotta be Donut County. I was baked out of my mind and my best friend was like "Dude you gotta play this game" and handed me his controller. It was awesome.
The images with the nvidia drivers baked in are one of the greatest selling points for Universal Blue. Its the easiest and simplest way to run Linux with nvidia, hands down.
Immutable is awesome. The user instead uses flatpak, snap, and/or nix to install their packages and apps. If you want a mutable environment, you can use containers and their many system integration tools like distrobox.The system has rollback functionality thanks to ostree, abroot, or similar technologies, so in case an update goes awry, you can roll back to a previous working image. Update anxiety no longer exists for me
Blood sweat and tears went into this project and I'm so glad they've finally released version 1.0.0. Congratulations to everyone in the team!
The Linux Mint team produces excellent software for making the end user experience gorgeous.
My favorite bit of software of theirs is webapp-manager. I have it installed on my Pinephone, and it allows me to make "apps" from websites.
I love that they embrace Debian as an alternative base. Debian is one of my favorite operating systems
Linux Mint = Good
