Why is the picture so small? I really want getting into riverwm, but the tags system feels very weird to me, aka I still struggle to understand it completely, why yambar instead of waybar?

This needs to be at the top. Starforged is amazing, because Ironsworn is an amazing system. All the influences you mentioned in starting post are also mentioned as influences for the making of Starforged. The only problem I see, is that your focus on mechanical system for the ship stuff.

Ptba is inherently not as mechanical as other meta systems. But I highly recommend checking it out.

Second suggestion would be Stars without Numbers, Crawford is praised for almost every release he does. You can't go wrong for Sci Fi with his system, it offers quite more crunch than Starforged (from my knowledge, I didn't read or play SWN myself!). But it offers, similar to Starforged, amazing tools for building worlds in a scifi setting, which can be used in any other system you might prefer.

Your experience with FreeBSD compared to OpenBSD is very similar to mine 5 years ago. Didn't manage to get FreeBSD working but OpenBSD install was pretty easy. Although the performance still sucked compared to Linux.

Bots can be updated to, its the same game with hacks and exploits, it just depends on the resources available at each side.

To open Krunner no matter where you are, press ALT+Space

Or remind to any other keys and use those. (I use meta + d)

Imagine a state driven open source distro like deepin in some years.

Why would livemedia be slower than virtualbox? Just get a proper stick and its probably even faster.

Its not about features, its about "duct tape scripts" are rarely a solution for anybody else than the author, imo. Borgbackup seems like the proper suggestion here for the OP.

I disagree, playing around in VMs is not giving you much experience. Rather boot from livemedia and play around with the different preshipped DEs/WMs. After you know which desktop environment is to your liking, you are free to chose whatever distro you want. The only real important part of a distro is its packet manager and documentation. Everything else can be exchanged.

Uhm the game is free?

I didn't play PoE1.

AUR is kind of the worst feature Arch offers and I am not actively using Arch right now anyway. Because its used for the wrong purpose: "install any app you need/want". Thats dangerous and creates problems by itself. I'd rather rely on flatpak/appimages, but open for counter arguments.

Arch doesn't "break" you are doing shit you have no clue about which in turn creates problems, which you then have to fix. Still if you plainly install and update it, I doubt you will notice much difference from an Arch install compared to any other distro.
