Dude writes code, that makes me a lot more comfortable recommending an arch install of some kind. Endeavour especially, as it sets you up at a very good starting point without doing messy shit like Manjaro.
It looks equally as good as any other game that released the same year.
Elden Ring is pretty, but this simply isn’t true.
When it comes to applying advanced modeling and rendering tech, fromsoft are amateurs.
Most famously, they have no clue what they are doing with shell texturing.
And the reason Elden Ring was a stuttery mess at launch on windows, was that they couldn’t figure out that doing directx shader compilation on the fly without caching, is a terrible, terrible idea.
No-one has commented on your mentioning VS and Flutter… I haven’t used it but I think VS is available for Linux?
I contribute to the Thunder client for Lemmy from my system running EndeavourOS with KDE.
I personally use android studio for this. I hit a pitfall on installing the android, flutter and dart SDKs from the AUR, but that turned out to be the lesser method. It was much easier to just let android studio install them to a folder, and thereby have it manage their versions.
The one downside was having to add their folders to PATH, so terminal commands like adb, dart, emulator, flutter, etc. work, but that’s not a big deal.
I started off with Manjaro, and updates kept breaking shit. Only reason it was usable for me, was that I kept timeshift going so I could recover from an unbootable state if updates borked something.
Especially if OPs system is unusual, I wouldn’t trust Manjaro. I’ve yet to need timeshift on my Endeavour install, but setting then up to do the same things was no more difficult.
If it means doing more deals like when Obsidian was allowed to make New Vegas, might finally mean that Bethesda franchises get some decent entries again.
Oh we know it’s there. Finding it isn’t the problem, giving epic any money, is.
I’m happy Epic spent their v-bucks on Remedy and let them use it to fund a masterpiece. But when it comes to distributing it, I think a quick visit to the pirate bay is a lot easier to stomach for a lot of people.
