I don't miss AUR. Well, I do but opensuse has OBS. Technically OBS is better as packages can be rebuilt automatically when dependencies are updated, but there are a lot more users on the AUR than OBS so AUR has more stuff on it.

OBS packages are less likely to break your system in an update, but the AUR is just flat out bigger.

There hasn't been anything I've needed that I haven't been able to find either on OBS or as a flatpak. When something isn't in the disro repos, I look for a flatpak first, then check OBS. Mostly cause flatpaks are easier to search.

The only game that is a PS5 exclusive that I really want is the new Gran Turismo. But I'm not going to buy a PS5 just for one game.

Every other game I want on the PS5 is eventually going to be on PC anyway.

There's a workaround where you can install Chrome then install ipp/cups printing from the chrome web store, then save whatever file you need printed to Google docs.

I didn't play much of it but it ran well when I tired it. I just decided it was the type of game I wanted to plat with all the settings maxed on my laptop.

I ran Arch flavors for a while, (Endeavor, Crystal, Garuda, and mostly CachyOS) and I eventually got tired of the tinkering, so I'm back on Opensuse now. Benefits of the perks of rolling release with less tinkering than Arch.

I personally use Tumbleweed, then I use Slowroll on my media PC and my dad's laptop.

Did you miss a required manual intervention on an update? A while ago there was an arch update that needed manual intervention cause of a dependency circle. Might be worth looking up the past year or so of manual intervention newsletter posts for Arch.

Last time I had a dependacy issue I was able to remove the conflicting package, update, then reinstall the package and it worked fine afterwards.

My own system was working great for a long while on an Arch flavour. But a bit ago HDR stopped working properly after an update and I just couldn't get it running right. Would display very dim.

Eventually gave up on my 2 year old install and went back to Tumbleweed.

I loved all the tinkering on Arch, but I just don't have it in me to do the tinkering anymore.

Eventually yes, but no estimate on when that will be, I know there has been a statement by the PopOS team that they're working on it.

Right now if you want HDR you pretty much have to be running KDE for your DE.

Mint with KDE if it doesn't support it already it will the next major release.

No idea when Gnome HDR support will come.

I'm really looking forward to using their Cosmic DE once HDR support is in.

I'm on Tumbleweed right now. Used to be on Arch flavors, Garuda then Cachy OS.

Tumbleweed is almost as fast for gaming performance, I just don't have it in me to do all the tinkering anymore. Just want something up to date that works.

Arch was... great and pretty reliable, just got tired of the tinkering.

Pan fried this stuff was good, mixed in with a bunch of stuff in a rice cooker, just awful. Every other fake meat I've tried works fine for lazy rice cooker cooking, not this stuff.

Saw one waxing poetically about how good fracking is.

My favorite ads I've seen are ones that play videos about basic traffic laws.

"When you're out driving, remember, it's illegal to pass on a double yellow line! It's the law!"

Thing with the video, I already get it from alternative means even while paying for it because Amazon doesn't like to play in full quality on Linux.

For the longest time I resisted, but I snagged a 2 tb sabrent drive.

What did it for me is I needed a new thumbdrive, and instead of doing the smart thing and spending $30 for a random generic thumb drive, I instead decided that a small nvme enclosure would be a neat thing to have. So I've got the new drive coming from Amazon and a neat little enclosure coming from aliexpress https://aliexpress.us/item/3256805196761444.html To shove the original 512 deck drive into.

Also just got tired of the dance of "What do I need on the ssd for performance, and what will be fine on the SD card"
