  • MX is my distro of choice.

    For most common tasks, I can easily pop open either a command line or a GUI, depending on my mood.

    It’s like the REM of Linux distros: it can appeal to all different kinds of users, and of all different skill levels. Plus, it’s not a resource hog.

    I have one antiX laptop - an old Chromebook with limited storage and low power. My gaming PC in the living room runs Bazzite. And I test plenty of other distros.

    But for my general purpose computers, I keep going back to MX with either Plasma or XFCE.

    Plus, I love hitting F4 for the drop-down console.















  • Video game staff has always been treated like shit by the big developers.

    This is another case of the big developers trying to convince their staff that using slop (and, therefore, further devaluing the people) is a good thing.

    If you make a game using “AI,” you’re standing on the shoulders of companies who became giants through theft and lies. They built algorithms, the algorithms stole, and now you’re being told to use those algorithms to benefit the companies who stole to build their databases.

    Yes, it sucks. You’re in a no-win situation. Things will keep getting worse, the way they’ve been getting worse for game development staff for years.

    Folks here will sympathize with your personal plight - unless you use the stolen databases yourself to earn your own livelihood. Because, once you do that, you unfortunately have become part of the problem. Even if you only did it to survive.
