The point of use flags is to make it so if you don’t want to print, every package that would otherwise pull in CUPS as a dependency can be compiled without it. Stuff like that.

Gentoo also has a good system for handling multiple concurrent installs of different versions of some packages, e.g python.

If there’s software you want to install from source that uses automake it’s pretty simple to build your own package for it.

Very much a system for doing things your way, and a good way to learn linux IMO. To that end, no there is no installer, but the process is not that complex. Boot a live USB, partition and format a drive, download and extract a base system, install a kernel (there is a fits-most-needs one available now), install a bootloader. Reboot into your new system and continue installing what you need from there.

Not for me, I fear. If I’m playing a turn based game I don’t want there to be reflex challenges.

Too much animation delay, imo

I remember reading an anecdote about a guy’s kid relative, who would describe a game they want to play (not even make themselves), and before describing mechanics even they listed out all the hypothetical microtransactions.

If I get under 300ms ping it’s a good day.

I personally prefer like/dislike over a star rating system. Maybe, MAYBE having a middle “meh” rating would be helpful but at the end of the day you either recommend something or you don’t. If you ask a friend “should I play this?” and they say “idk man” that’s basically a recommendation to not play it.

There’s hope for me yet, then. Though I think FS have long since sailed from what I liked about Soulslikes into something else entirely.

Sekiro is not a soulslike, it’s Ninja Gaiden. :P

No, you`re right.

This looks like a python programmer that is mad they have to write C# Java…
