With a 2025 release, is may not even come out for Switch, it may release on Switch 2/successor.

fpslem,

Puppy was going to me my suggestion too, before I read that you’d already used it. Maybe try some of the other versions? If you used a Debian- or Ubuntu-based Puppy, you could try a Slack-based one, or vice-versa. Puppy’s organization is a little confusing, in my opinion, but it does give a user some options. You also might try some of the “puplets” that aren’t official Puppy distros but are part of the Puppy family.

fpslem,

Native support. 👍 I haven’t played it yet, but at this price I’ll give it a try.

fpslem,

I’m fine with this, particularly since you can just tick the box and still access them. Linux Mint is such a good gateway for new Linux users, it makes sense to hide unverified flatpaks until they understand the risks. Plenty of people (perhaps myself included) won’t ever need to worry about unverified flatpacks if their needs are simple and they don’t add much beyond the standard software.

fpslem,

I appreciate when ads say “Free to Play” up front so I know not to play it. (There may be a few exceptions here and there, but as a general rule, that has served me pretty well.)

fpslem,

Yep. sigh I guess I’ll go replay Portal 2 again. It really is fantastic, I should be happy that we got it when we did.

I don't know anything about Linux and the idea of installing it frightens me. Where do I start?

I bought a laptop yesterday, it came pre-installed with Windows 11. I hate win 11 so I switched it down to Windows 10, but then started considering using Linux for total control over the laptop, but here’s the thing: I keep seeing memes about how complicated or fucky wucky Linux is to install and run. I love the idea of open...

fpslem,

Mint

I definitely found Linux Mint the easiest version to switch to, coming from Windows. All the menus and icons were basically where I expected to find them. I couldn’t have cared less about Wayland support, I just wanted to do basic tasks and for my printer to work, and Mint did that out of the box.

fpslem,

Finally got around to Talos Principle (the first one) and it’s as good as people said.

I also started playing some space battles in Empire at War on “Star Wars Day” (May the Fourth) and find that level of not-very-challenging RTS kind of soothing, so I’m back to playing that for a bit.

fpslem,

I dunno about it being Rougelike, but I did love me some Torchlight 1 and 2. (Haven’t played 3.)

fpslem,

I played quite a bit of Tricky and SSX3 in college, I should dust off the GameCube and fire it up again.

fpslem,

Okay, that actually looked pretty fun, I need to dust that game off and try the multiplayer!

fpslem,

You’re not wrong, but it was also kind of a cultural moment and it’s weird that it was disappeared entirely. Most games like that have long tails of focus creep, neglect, crapware, or irrelevance, but Flappy Bird went out with a pop.

fpslem,

Naw, people on foot and on bike mix pretty well, it’s the 2±tonne metal cages that ruin cities.

Use work laptop as personal device by dual booting on a separate internal drive?

I currently have a Dell laptop that runs Windows for work. I use an external SSD via the Thunderbolt port to boot Linux allowing me to use the laptop as a personal device on a completely separate drive. All I have to do is F12 at boot, then select boot from USB drive....

fpslem,

Honestly, this is good advice. It’s much better to keep personal computer activity on a personal device, whether that’s on a ThinkPad or anything else.

fpslem,

I hope they focus on the fun. With that pedigree of devs, I think they’ll get the balance good and have good maps, but that illusive fun factor needs to be there. (Like what the Torchlight devs did after some left the Diablo teams.)

fpslem,

I have a soft spot in my heart for Puppy Linux, I had a laptop hard drive fail on me when I was in school and I couldn’t afford a new one. I made it through the last semester booting Puppy Linux from a USB drive. It was no-frills, but it worked.

fpslem,

OG PvZ is perfection. I’d love to have more, but it never can hold up.

fpslem,

Upvoted just as a PSA for what not to buy.

fpslem,

I think taking a more friendly position towards unions was also part of Microsoft’s strategy to win regulatory approval of its acquisition of ZeniMax.

fpslem,

Unrailed! with a few friends, it scratches the same chaotic-couch-co-op itch as games like Overcooked or Moving Out.
