Sure, but you still need to package Steam for all different “Linux distributions” (I put it in quotes, because I dislike the term) separately, or use things like Flatpak, which some people might be comfortable with, and others not really.

And if you go to page like ProtonDB, it shows that people have all different hardware and software configurations and it’s a big mess, because you are never sure if game will work or not, until you try (and maybe try different “hacks” to get it running). I have problems running ETS2 (Euro Truck Simulator 2) on Debian, even though it run on Windows fine, and let me say: I don’t have time for this shit.

I use Linux, because I am fed up with Windows, and I don’t really play games anymore (or at least modern titles) but if I replace my computer this year to get new build (will run Debian of course), I think I will just install either Bazzite or Windows 11 (or both) on the PC I am currently using, and let my brother play games there.

The problem with Linux is that you can’t target… Linux. Because there’s no single Linux.

I mean… when I was a teenager I literally used my DSi with it’s built-in Opera browser for porn… well, at least I was able to see some pictures, because I don’t think any video playback was possible.

My university forces us to use Microsoft products and I hate it.

The only good thing is that most MS products are available through web browser nowadays, but they have random quirks that make me bash my head against the desk.

I don’t know. I use KDE on Debian on my desktop, but I have set up Linux Mint Cinnamon on family laptop and it runs and looks fine.

What do you want to eat after universe ends?

I was using Ubuntu and Linux Mint more than a decade ago, then I switched to Debian, so I guess I skipped most of this curve, lol.

For me it’s like:

• PulseAudio - Bluetooth Audio doesn’t work
• PipeWire - Audio sometimes work, sometimes not. Reboot and figure it out.

Literally me. One time I was asked “What is happiness” or some other similar shit. It’s not like I think about stuff like that at regular basis, lol.

Kolorpaint is decent if you don’t care about layers.

How do you do any kind of work without having layers?

It is, but most modern software doesn’t work at all in Wine. I have 2 apps (Paint.net, and SketchUp Make 2017) which don’t have any real alternatives (or they suck) for Linux and they don’t work in Wine.

It’s Windows. You don’t need a license to run it. I mean you should have it, but it won’t suddenly stop working like in old days.

Ah, the zoomer distributions /s

Whatever works for other people I guess. A good Linux administrator is a person who can work with the default configuration on their OS, and I am trying to be that person and eventually learning inside-outs of systemd.

Me: kill -9 $$

It’s only a joke btw.

Imagine going back in time thinking you will be able to get the same partner but earlier, but after like few minutes of conversation it turns out that the other person thinks you are a fucking creep and doesn’t want to have anything to do with you ever. It would be a fucking nightmare.

I wouldn’t spend so much fucking time on a fucking computer… maybe.

I don’t think they do anymore with trixie, which is a bit surprising.

Although to be honest it makes sense, given how cheap you can buy relatively new computer nowadays.

I don’t think there’s any reason to use rmdir unless you write (Ba)sh scripts, and you want to make sure that the directory is indeed empty. Just use rm -r.

Also note that you can use rmdir -p this/is/some/path to remove all nested directories including the parent (this here). But this will only work if there’s exactly one directory per parent directory, and the last directory doesn’t have any files (including directories). This might be helpful for some scripts.

rmdir -r isn’t a thing, because that would invalidate the reason this command exists.

That works, unless you mistype the file name, and delete some unrelated directory by mistake.
