my memory isn't great, so trying to remember all the terminal commands is pretty tough for me (personal issue).

but also, flatpaks can be frustrating to work with. for example, i've been trying to run a DAW set up on my PC, and getting it to read a MIDI keyboard, or run most plugins (flatpak or not) is a headache. i have even tried messing with flatseal, but even that can break applications, and as an end user, even the flatseal GUI is hard to wrap my head around. perhaps another personal issue.

not as bad, but modding games can be rough in a similar way. i think it's sandboxing or bwrap that can cause issues with mod managers, which often forces me to manually add/install files to the desired game, and pray that i didn't add the wrong file to the wrong folder. unmodded games are a breeze to play, however.

but other than that, i'm pretty happy! i'll take these issues over my previous windows issues any day.

not just use, people still pay for this shit

crunch makes them lazier? i'm not sure if i agree.

I agree, in that most games that I play (not using UE5); I just set the basic settings I want, and get above 90fps.

messing with the settings (to get above 60fps) in an UE5 engine game is a chore, and most times frame gen barely works, upscaling looks like shit too.

but imo devs didn’t get lazier, UE5 + upscale/framegen made it easier for them to not have to optimize a game, and then (more often than not) when they are forced to crunch, optimizations are frequently out of the question, especially on launch.

I would tell them that, any president can be your war criminal, rapist agent- given the right glaze (and price, of course).

all money isn’t real if you really think about it, I’d keep spending it!
