  • Personally I think its mostly a matter of preference and doesn’t matter all that much. I like to run a fairly stock desktop environment with minimal tweaking so my setup aligns with what receives the most QA/testing and that means I generally pick distro based on the desktop environment they ship, how much I like their defaults, and how much information there is to find online.

    I like vanilla Gnome so Fedora is a great pick. I was never super into how cinnamon looked so I never really gave mint a big try, though I did daily drive ubuntu budgie for a few years and liked my experience with that. Whether I am using yum, apt, pacman or dnf isn’t really that big a deal, they all work. Several years managing redhat servers professionally has given me a lot of comfort troubleshooting in that setting so I tend to go for Fedora. Also a nice bonus to have more recent software available without jumping through hoops.

    I do want to try out Pop OS and a few others and its cool to distro hop, but generally I just kind of like stock Fedora a LOT so I am not really that tempted to revisit other options and have to get all set up with a different workflow.

    Maybe look into a Wabbajack list for an easier experience getting the modding part over with so you can get to the gaming. I’d look for something very close to vanilla on your first playthrough, but I wouldn’t play with no mods though cause many of them fix issues and improve the game’s graphical fidelity and stability.

    Well this is somewhat disheartening to see since I have a gigabyte 3080 in my computer. Hopefully its not cracking since apparently can’t RMA it. Doesn’t seem like its sagging so maybe I am set? Not really sure what brand to buy from these days for gpus and motherboards especially since it seems like all of them have glaring issues.


  • Might be a slightly separate category, but I still think of it as a board game. I really like Call of Cthulhu. Tabletop RPG systems in general are typically good fun as long as you have a good group of people to share the time with, but mechanically I think CoC is particularly good. It is simple to learn and the mechanics really assist in the tense storytelling.


  • Mirrors edge is a series I always go back to. Really easy to fire up catalyst or the original and just focus on running really fast while I have an audiobook or some music on in the background. There is so many speedrunning techniques for each game that there is an endless depth to explore.
