haha in fact I was thinking of installing Windows 95 instead, because I wasn’t sure if Win 98 was too new. xD Its all just to play games.

being smart about it means not using an unsupported os

Or do not connect to the internet. I have Windows 98 SE installed in an emulator… I know it’s a bit old, but I don’t connect to internet. :D

SteamOS is focused on gaming, so its not a full replacement for Win10. There are ton of Linux operating systems for general use (even those that SteamOS is based on), without gaming focus and being a “normal” operating system like Windows. And if you want a gaming oriented OS, then there are plenty alternatives already: HoloISO, aiming for a SteamOS like system, and bunch of other: https://github.com/ChimeraOS/chimeraos/wiki/OS-Comparison . So there is no need to wait for SteamOS to open up as a general installation media on desktop.

The biggest reason why I don’t want maintain so many Vms is, because all the maintenance and updates that involve doing so.

I was using capital letters in the past, but they look so alien and are not fluid to type as small letters only. After some time I wasn’t sure which commands where capital and which were small letters, so left that concept behind me.

But as a Vim user, I think of using single capital letters to open specific documents and files directly in Vim; emulating the global mark functionality of Vim. At the moment I have a convention of small letter+“rc” that will open configuration file in Vim, like this:

alias brc='nvim ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc'
alias mrc='nvim ~/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf'
alias nrc='nvim ~/.config/nvim'
...

But I might replace them with single letters brc as B in example.

While the effects of cheat codes are not copyrighted, its probably still possible to patent them. But that would cost the company lot of legal fees and complications, for cheats. Also thankfully the cheat codes themselves are not copyrighted. But I feel like Konami could potentially trademark the “Konami Code” (which is even named and known like this). This EU court is only about Copyright, which is a good thing and is what everyone gets for free. But trademarks and patents could still be a problem if companies really want to be an ass (like Nintendo, Konami or Rockstar).

Here is another such list of DRM-free games on Steam: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_big_list_of_DRM-free_games_on_Steam

Edit: I think this is an outdated version of the list. The following one is more up to date: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games_on_Steam

According to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tails_(operating_system)

Tails was first released on June 23, 2009. It is the next iteration of development on Incognito, a discontinued Gentoo-based Linux distribution.[9] The original project was called Amnesia. The operating system was born when Amnesia was merged with Incognito.[10] The Tor Project provided financial support for its development in the beginnings of the project.[8] Tails also received funding from the Open Technology Fund, Mozilla, and the Freedom of the Press Foundation.[11]

In fact typing these commands by hand all the time won’t save you from a fuck stuff up anyway. The update-alias is the exact same command I would have typed. In fact, as an alias its less likely to make a typo and fuck stuff up. I’m doing this since 2008, when I started with Linux, and named it always “update”.

Using the update command I’m always aware it changes the system. Not at least because I also often expand the alias to its full command with a shortcut (update will be replaced in the terminal with the actual commands), I also see what the output of the commands. And without my password it wouldn’t do any system changes anyway.

So typing these commands everything out won’t be safer, as you suggest.

But this statement is splitting the Linux community. xD

The biggest threat to the Linux Community is the Linux Community itself.

It’s just bunch of commands run with a single call, an automation. As long as I know exactly what each command is doing and if I wrote the alias myself, then I think its not a problem. What problem do you see with an update-alias such as I did there? The update-command does exactly that, it updates the box with all relevant package managers.

However if other people are also using the box, then its obviously a different situation. I wouldn’t want to be reckless in the operation either; respect other users, even if you can do whatever you want.

Davies Media Design is a fantastic channel. Additionally here are links from the developers:

You mean https://www.android-x86.org/ ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android-x86

Wow that is probably the longest update cycle I ever heard of any Arch user. :D Nothing wrong with it, its just unusual.

Thanks for posting. But isn’t this a bit too much for every time you update your system? Like rebuilding the mirrolist each time?

The initial problem with Flatpak thinking it would be a good idea to add dozens of Nvidia drivers and re-download and update all of them on every update (causing a few gigabytes of downloaded files on every run of a normal flatpak update even if nothing needed to be updated)

100% agree! Up until last year I was also using Nvidia and the Flatpak drivers for Nvidia got out of hand. I was using just a handful of applications in Flatpak, yet I had 6 different versions of the driver, each 350 MB and every of them was downloaded fully and updated every time. And that is besides other updates and other stuff. I would have needed your function so badly back then. :D

It doesn’t matter who does this, if Linux or cheaters or regular players who are not happy. Stopping others from playing the game is always bad behavior.

There are even popular YouTubers with millions of subscribers, who show proudly how to defeat the Anticheat tool day one. This will make Rockstar more harden and probably go for a deep Kernel level anticheat.
