Nowadays it’s easy AF pretty much everywhere nowadays. Sometimes there are simple GUI tools that get you there with just a few clicks. Hardest it will get is having to look it up in a wiki for the distribution you are using (if it doesn’t have them preinstalled) and then following simple step-by-step instructions
I get you, like “been there, done that”
Nowadays I have like 10 if not 15 extensions (most of which are not essential to my workflow) and they make the already wonderful Gnome base just better for me personally
this is why I usually wait with recent distribution upgrades, another upside is: it saves me a bunch of headaches too since – by the time I do upgrade – all the little bugs have usually been fixed
On Fedora, Btrfs has been the default for years now iirc. It’s a modern and rock solid too (as long as you avoid Raid 5/6) and has some features I can’t live without nowadays:
I (unfortunately) have to heavily recommend against using Nobara, especially if you have an Nvidia graphics card. It’s an amateur distribution in the original sense of the word and also lacks a large community, neither does it have a company behind it.
This leads to a lack of proper QA and testing in general. It’s OK but I would not recommend it to anyone
If you want to go with a “traditional” distro, go with Linux Mint, simply the most solid out there. I’d also recommend you check out Bluefin, it’s atomic (meaning that you are basically guaranteed to always have a working system, even after upgrades) and quite modern
This is why – if you want to keep your extensions – you wait with upgrading to a new Gnome version until your extensions support it…
AFAIK there is no stable extension API, leading to breakage with every version upgrade
It’s lead dev is also so full of himself, it’s insufferable
FILE, File, file, and FilE should all be the same thing at all times.
“Let’s point many completely different combinations of characters at the same file”

Luckily I’ve always kinda seen (at least aspects of it) as an interactive book on steroids, which is why I always read everything lol
But I rly regret save scumming in my first play through, took quite a bit of magic away as in “I’m bending the experience to my will and not enjoying it fully” which I’m trying to remedy now
But ye, it is truly a masterpiece and a wonderful work of art. The experience is just 👌.
The fact that we’ll never get a true successor might just be the most disco thing about it all…
But I’m always save-scumming to get Kim on the dance floor no matter what
“understandable, have a nice day”
Mostly “Disco Elysium” (translates from Latin to “I learn [the world of] Elysium” btw. OFC it’s disco AF too)
And yes, it’s been 6 years since release and 4 years since “The Final Cut”… ((:
I love this game SM. It’s such a welcome break from the neoliberal postmodernist slop, being a genuine piece of art. I love it’s materialist and politeconomic perspective on society; in general, the writing is just superb (there is no going back after it too, most games and art in general (including novels and films) might just seem mediocre afterwards)…
The writers did their research about basically everything they wrote about (even racial “”“science”“”, OFC depicted negatively), with a focus on psychology, political economy, sociology and philosophy.
Initially played it in 2021 (but save scummed a lot :/ ). Both me as a person, and my understanding of political economy and philosophy have grown quite a bit since then.
I tried replaying it in 2023, but didn’t get very far (mostly due to mental health)
Recently my interest in the game rekindled and I’m trying to play as a progressive social democratic superstar hobocop this time lol
I’ve also been getting back into Counter Strike 2 the last few eeks, but it’s taken a major backseat to Disco Elysium (a large factor being: I want to make a deck of Anki flashcards to memorise util lineups of the current map rotation; but I just can’t summon the motivation for it, so it “blocks” me from playing)
valid, I just feel like Gnome is a rly solid base for me, with one of the most intuitive workflows and consistent designs out there
the ecosystem of apps is just superb too
