I use it for my general distro as well:

• atomic
• fractional scaling
• seamless background updates
• tiling window manger

All out of the box. Not something I’ve found with any other distro.

You can do all that with KDE without using the terminal.

No, you can’t.

there is flatpak

Sometimes there is. Many times there is not.

In using it right now. And have been for several years. Don’t know why you would assume otherwise.

When basic tasks like changing the scaling, setting a default power profile, or a default audio device, or just installing software don’t require use of the terminal, call me back.

I’m not a “Linux hater”. I love Linux. I’m just being honest. Normies aren’t going to be able to use Linux until Linux developers and community decide it shouldn’t only be usable by developers.

reminding us that Linux is the only OS family that ever needs troubleshooting

No one said that, you literally just made it up.

What year is it?

That’s a great question

Terminal is pretty much optional these days

LOL good one

Your workplace probably doesn’t want to spend millions (depending on size) teaching their employees how to use the terminal.

I praise things that are worthy of praise and call out things that are worthy of being called out. The only reason I tried it out was because the concept is appealing.

As is Playtron

You could say the same thing about Bazzite or SteamOS. It’s the convenience of having all of those preconfigured “out of the box” that makes them popular.

E: Lutris is developing it, along with Heroic.

Theres no need to back out of Steam to open and configure Lutris. It boots right into a cross-platform launcher.

You’ll have to excuse my ignorance, I’ve been a petrolhead all my life and the only context I’ve ever heard it used is to derogatorily describe modified Japanese cars. The people on the receiving end definitely took offense to it, because that was the intention.

Exactly!

Yes that’s definitely what I meant 🙄

It just seems like it could have very easily been replaced with “customization” without the conflict.

What what?

Is no one going to comment on the racial slur that is “ricing”?

Ah yeah I forgot about that as well.

Its just more tailored to gaming outside of Steam, which is a legitimate benefit.

I think it’s safe to blame that first one on Linus’ absence.
