I'm currently on PopOS 22 and I'm in the mood to try something different. I mostly game but I do need my system to have support for the everyday tasks I sometimes need to do, so I fell bazzite is a no go.

I see a lot of people recommending Cachy, will it be a smooth experience for someone used to linux? Is Endeavour a better choice? Will I have issued with my PS3 eye camera and x52 stick?

That was a "fun" debugging session...

Got Tachyon: The Fringe from GOG recently. I loved this game when I was a kid, and you know what? The game is still lots of fun! The graphics are still alright and it ran out of the box on Linux. My X52 even works with it!

I miss this era of short but sweet games.

I was looking at the protondb for Battlefield V and it has a gold medal despite the fact that it has been literally unplayable (the game won't even start) fpr 6 months now.

Are medals impossible to lose? Or do they run on some sort of manual verification? Is there some way to request a game to have it's grade changed.

For reference, the change in this case was the addition of EA Anti-cheat, which breaks linux compatibility and borked a considerable number of games, even older ones.

Almost 30 and I don't remember ever getting such a bad hangover. Heck, I used to get sober on the way home before even crashing on the bed.

Runescape Valheim is a weird pitch but I guess it looks ok

There was a recent update allowing for more options for viewing votes, which I believe has broken the app in this regard. When logging in from other instances tgat don't have these changes yet, it works as expected.

Not sure if this is the place to ask but I looked around and couldn't find a better place, nor anyone talking about this.

I currently can neither see upvotes and downvotes, nor vote.

Edit: I logged in my PC and they are there. I think it's something with Sync, sorry for the confusion!

I'll preface this by saying I've only used cherry mx brown switches before.

Recently I decided to try Akko Silver linear switch, and while it feels great when I'm gaming, for work I've been getting the tips of my fingertips hurting. Is it just me or are they not for this sort of thing?

Maybe you haven't been convinced by a good enough argument. Maybe you just don't want to admit you are wrong. Or maybe the chaos is the objective, but what are you knowingly on the wrong side of?

In my case: I don't think any games are obliged to offer an easy mode. If developers want to tailor a specific experience, they don't have to dilute it with easier or harder modes that aren't actually interesting and/or anything more than poorly done numbers adjustments. BUT I also know that for the people that need and want them, it helps a LOT. But I can't really accept making the game worse so that some people get to play it. They wouldn't actually be playing the same game after all...
