Some updates after sleeping on it and trying some morning debugging:
Maybe it's time to go back to debian...
For me it becomes an issue when I try to make decisions from my character's perspective. If I try to lean into the RP part of RPG then I often feel like I have to leave a load of content behind because it just wouldn't be a high priority.
I agree with the FO1 timer though. I ended up beelining to the necropolis and got trapped in an endgame bunker because I didn't want that timer hanging over me.
Unless, you know, they enjoy doing that
I can't imagine that's any more free than bitwarden?
In my experience it Just Works ™️. I spin up a distro/toolbox, compile some software (e.g. Emacs) then run the executable inside the container, and up pops the GUI window.
If you use distrobox, you can even distrobox-export desktop files, at which point a containerised gui application is practically indistinguishable from one installed on the host system
Its all about how an application goes from "I would like to display X on a screen" to how X actually gets displayed. Wayland is effectively a language (technically a protocol) that graphical applications can speak to describe how they would like to be drawn. It's then up to a different program more deeply embedded in your OS to listen to and act on those instructions (this program is called a Wayland compositor). There's a lot more to it (handling keyboard input monitor settings, etc), but that's the general idea.
Wayland is a (relatively) new way of thinking about this process, that tries to take into account the wide variety of input and output devices that exist today, and also tries to mitigate some of the security risks that were inherent to previous approaches (before Wayland, it was very easy for one application to "look at" what was being displayed in a completely different app, or even to listen to what keys were being typed even when the app isn't focussed).
Thing is, change is hard, doubly so in the consensus driven world of Linux/FOSS. So, until the last couple of years or so, adoption of Wayland was quite slow. Now we're at the point where most things work at least as well in Wayland, but there's still odd bits of software that either haven't been ported, or that still rely on some features that don't exist in Wayland, often because of the aforementioned security risks.
Whilst I've heard lots of talk that lunduke is getting increasingly politica, and I disagree quite strongly with his politics, I'll have to agree with him here. IA did something unnecessarily risky (redistributing unauthorised copies of print books), which has more jeopardised their mission of archiving the internet.
I also agree with everyone here saying that current copyright laws are ridiculous (and not just because they are "outdated", the Victorians had better copyright laws than we do). However, I think only the most radical overhaul of copyright law would condone what IA did, and that isn't coming any time soon (If ever).
I do wonder what percentage of Linux users reject the survey compared to Windows users. Not that it's changed much, but every little helps right?
I do wish that people could take their health more seriously without being guilt tripped about struggling pubs.
If its the courtyard I'm thinking of, a well placed fireball can also be the most satisfying spell of the game.
My favourite spell for Shadowheart was always spirit guardians. Partly just because it was funny to watch her dashing around the map, mopping up weaklings.
Games.
Other than basic things like Tetris (Quadrapassel) and minesweeper, I've not yet found an open source game I've enjoyed nearly as much as the countless proprietary games I own and play.
Just to lob a controversial thought in there: There may be some challenges the game industry faces that aren't solely "capitalism bad". The most compelling one I've heard is that, as games as a medium they have to increasingly compete with a growing back catalogue of classics.
Between that and the rise of indie games, it gets increasingly risky to invest in large projects.
(To try and preempt some comments: I am not saying that investors are "right" to pull out of the games industry. I just want people to consider whether the problem, and hence the solution, is more complicated than they first thought)
