Thing is, I think we’re already past that weird transitional period where there exists a good solution for X common problem in linux gaming, but is only shipped in some nieche gaming-oriented distro, instead of any general purpose distros. Most desktop linux distros are already “bloated” (in a sensible way) so it’s not like they would lack whatever components we need for gaming. Sure there can be nice extras, but that’s mostly only useful for the miniscule cross-section of people who consider themselves powerusers but are afraid of installing programs from the package manager.

I mean from a literary viewpoint this text is pretty well built, I’ve almost believed it for a moment.

it’s in her rational self interest

this comment made me cry a bit on the inside
