Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

If you're specifically looking for gaming then there are two gaming-focused distros to look at: Bazzite and CachyOS. Former is based on Fedora and latter on Arch, if that makes any difference to you. I've heard good things about both.

Do note that Linux doesn't support kernel-level anti cheat of any kind, so if you want to play any multiplayer games that require this you categorically cannot use Linux, unfortunately.

I chose CachyOS after having benchmarked various games between Windows 10, Bazzite and CachyOS. CachyOs performed the best of the three (not much, but systematically so).

However for users who wants the best ease of use Bazzite is probably the way to go. Steam is pre-installed for example.

Fortunately, the most invasive anti-cheats seem to be popular on games I don't care for. So far my research has told me I might need to fiddle with Vermintide 2 a little but nothing else I play has it.
