    I ignore certain games that don’t run via proton, because those certain games typically dont run because they have invasive and unnecessary DRM or Anticheat thats more malware than anything useful for protecting play.

    Which I wouldnt buy or have on my computer on windows, much less linux, anyway. So nothings lost.

    Linux Support Communities are a trillion times more welcoming, kind and understanding of new people today than they were 10 and 20 years ago.

    I still am scared to ask questions, but at least when I finally have no choice and resign myself to asking a question… its generally answered kindly, and if its not answered directly I’m at least put in the right direction. And that helps me build my own knowledge base, and helps me solve future problems on my own.

    Unlike when I did my first dip into linux a couple decades ago where you’d be called some creative combination of Windows/Microsoft and a sexual slur and told to go the fuck back to windows if you are too stupid to have been born without the complete comprehensive understanding of the terminal.

    I hope the community continues to improve, and welcome newbies and their problems like it currently does, so we can all grow and thrive together.

    and so many people are already searching for solutions to problems and cant find them, because they are locked away on discord.

    I fucking hate it.

    and its only gonna get worse with the years to come, as more data is centralized in discord and locked forever away from search engines, or worse, lost with the discord gets deleted or if the company goes under.

    and no ones saying to not have a discord. Just use it for what its meant to be used as. Social interaction. And stop using it for what it very obviously isnt, which is a information repository.

    as annoying as havin all the answers on reddit was, at least they popped up in a search engine so you could find an answer to what your problems were.
