Also, are we considering btrfs to be reliable now?

It's the default for fedora, ubuntu, opensuse, cachyos, so i'd say yes, or at least it's feature set is worth it's "unstability".

Each has their own /root, and they share /boot, /swap and /home.

This would work just fine with mount points on btrfs, probably not on a regular distro as you can't usually customize them like this, but on a terminal based install like arch? not a problem.

Yeah i know about emulation, this is more about them opening up their platform than the quality of the game.

Botw is the greatest game ever.

Statements like these sure as shit ain't gonna help your case. I've seen a few videos of the game and it looks just about the same as every other open world game - with shit graphics. Let me know when the game releases on pc and i can actually try it though.

As long as you keep using the console you're still in the walled garden: you're giving them data to harvest, being exposed to their ads, padding their MAU numbers... Server costs are negligible - it's what allows F2P to work as a monetization model.

The series was supposed to be an anthology but the show got very popular so instead of doing a soft reboot for season 2 they kept the cast, which created a lot of narrative problems. Anyways the show plodded along for 2 more seasons - which were actually ok - so the writers' strike wasn't that big of an issue.

I doubt NBC ever regretted continuing heroes, strangling your golden goose doesn't help anyone.

Separating home is unnecessary these days with btrfs, Fedora for example will let you reinstall while preserving /home/.

Once the RTS is done they'll fork the engine to make Grim Dawn 2.

If they have any money left... RTS games aren't exactly a safe bet these days.

This is the reason i have a hard time recommending Fedora to new users, they can't even play youtube videos until they've pulled in rpmfusion and ffmpeg.

So a better scheduler for gaming distros

CachyOS is not a gaming distro, it is a performance distro, and this is from the mouth of its own developers. Everybody thinks their scheduler is the best - there's probably a meme about it somewhere, you'd probably get more aggressive scheduling with gamemode than regular cachy because gamemode expects you to be playing a game when you start it... and fyi gamemode is used by default in applications like lutris.

SteamOS is a desktop distribution now, that means full compatibility - at least once they start supporting nvidia. Maybe when they supported only the steam deck they could afford some targeted optimizations, but the more systems start running SteamOS the wider the target will have to become.

CachyOS is most definitely not "as close as it gets" to SteamOS. Cachy is performance driven whereas SteamOs much like Bazzite is compatibility driven. Valve's main goal is for their distribution to run on everything, performance is a low priority.

better scheduler

That's not a thing, the words you're looking for are "scheduler optimized for gaming at the cost of performance in other domains like power consumption", you also don't need it because common programs like gamemode already do this.

I didn't get it either till i read your comment... for those still in the dark it's about

There's like dozens of ways to open a lock without the proper key, it's probably not the best comparison...
