Hi I’m Tim.
I’m AuDHD - officially diagnosed ADHD and self-diagnosed (for now) with ASD. I also suffer from a great deal of Imposter Syndrome.
As the only platform that cares about gamers I would say it’s your only choice under Windows also. Unless you pay for boxed versions and then rip/crack them so your not messing with physical media constantly, but then disk space becomes and issue fast.
“It obviously needs some tuning, but this is the radical left blowing a small thing out of proportion.”
Do remember this is the guy who did 2 full Nazi salutes at an event for his presidential candidate, and America voted Trump in anyway, they give zero fucks about “blatant”. And training his AI on Nazi material is going to make his bot pro-Nazi, not rocket-surgery.
I mean this was kinda the plan for Twitter, and for his AI all along. This isn’t a bug, it’s working as expected.
Nice, will need to try this out when I have a sec.
I had no doubt that it was, I guess my post was more that they have both been around for a bit doing close to the same task. So for the people pretending this is “Gnome abandoning things like they always do” I think it’s kind of silly to not expect a “default” app that is more than 7+ years old to be replaced with something newer.
Especially because these are the “default” apps that I would expect to be replaced once someone learns the DE and outgrows the defaults.
Evince:
Evince is a document viewer capable of displaying multiple and single page document formats like PDF and Postscript.
The gitlab repo for Evince was created May 22, 2018 and looks to be last updated yesterday.
Papers:
Papers is a document viewer capable of displaying multiple and single page document formats like PDF and DejaVu.
The gitlab repo for Papers was created March 29, 2022 and looks to be last updated 3 months ago.
I think in my years of using Gnome I’ve never used either, and had to search apps to see if I even had them installed. I have Evince under the fantastic title “document viewer” which is fixed in that commit yesterday. As for Papers, I don’t even have it installed on 49-alpha.
So this is Devuan with some weird anti fascist nonsense thrown in? I don’t get it.
Reading that “article” likely written by AI, provided nothing positive or anyway it is different from Debian/Devuan. Seems like a “project” by someone that wants to feel like they are doing something but 6 months down the road will be chasing another shiny instead.
*Edit - holy shit that site is like AI word vomit, and their mirror list doesn’t exactly scream “we know what we’re doing”.
A KDE developer made a blog post on the 21st talking about X11 stats on KDE and the numbers show the majority are already on Wayland.
At this point in time, our telemetry says that a majority of Plasma users are already using the Wayland session. Currently 73% of Plasma 6 users who have turned on telemetry are using the Wayland session, and a little over 60% of all telemetry-activating users (including Plasma 5 users) are on Wayland.
Well from the bottom of the article apparently someone is looking to carry on with X11 and has started Xlibre (with what looks like TONS of new drama).
They are essentially doing the same as KDE, whose statement was linked in the article.
KDE
For now, the Plasma X11 session remains in maintenance mode. That means critical issues—like login failures or major regressions—will still be addressed. However, minor bugs are unlikely to get fixes unless funded, and new X11-specific features are off the table entirely.

Gnome
First things first: Xorg isn’t being abandoned outright. It remains maintained and is receiving necessary security patches and bug fixes. However, active development has effectively halted, with most of its original contributors now focused on Wayland.
Edit - added Gnome quote effectively saying the same thing.
My nemesis, choice paralysis, how you are the bane of my existence.
Indeed, I also do this with texts and voicemails. Then the shame and anxiety monster eats me and I either breakdown and read them or swipe them away and hope for the best.
Work emails I do better because it is my job at stake, but only just barely. Voicemails are 100% ignored though, and currently have 30 “missed calls” I’m never going to look at in the hope they vanish through the power of some outside force.
Yeah I’m only playing balanced or whatever the middle/default difficult is. I have 263hrs as of right now and have really been enjoying it. And I’m doing Dark Urge so I’m missing a bunch of content just because of “bad decisions”, and the way I ended up in act 2 I also know I missed a bunch of content. I’m not even close to being done with Act 3 (I don’t think) and I’m already debating if I will do another playthrough afterwards, or play something else from my ever growing backlog. And I’ve never been a 100%'er and usually happy/lucky if I even finish it. 😂
Indeed, I often times will play for a few hours and find all sorts of cool things, but nothing that moves the story along.
Case in point, I have been playing BG3 for months a few hours here and there and I’m only in the beginning parts of Act 3. And before that I dumped probably 400hrs into Elden Ring, and then went back in for many, many more when the DLC came out.
A /64 block of IPv6 is 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 available IP addresses.
If they don’t have the IPv4 addresses they can’t. Could always ask about IPv6, have seen ISP’s give out more than you’d ever need for a home LAN (like a /64).
Edit - I should add, do make sure you have a setup firewall as you will no longer be “protected” by NAT and all the IPv6 addresses are routable to the open Internet.
I guess Mortal Kombat, Golden Axe, and Streets of Rage on Genesis, and Mario RPG on SNES. Not a lot of games that standout and hold up. There were a lot of games I played on my Genesis, but there were better games in previous gens and afterwards.
What do you consider “gen 4”, because I’m guessing we may not be thinking the same if you consider the gba “gen 4” era.
I have the 8BitDo Ultimate controller and just store it in the dock when not in use. I’ve not had any connectivity issues (does Bluetooth & 2.4Ghz), battery life (22hrs), or ever have it just shut off. Also has rumble , motion, and hall effect sticks. The configuration of profiles can be done through a mobile app or Windows/VM.
It is a bit of weighing the convenience of Steam dealing with your catalog of games, making them all just a download away, and keeping them outside of Steam and needing to come up with your own currarion method. And if you are buying (licensing it - because apparently nobody actually owns their games) the game outside one of these storefronts, you still have DRM to deal with most likely anyway.
Just have to weigh the pros vs cons.
