As someone in my 20s who grew up on Windows XP era games, then lots of PS3 games, I’m very attuned to latency. My computer was lower mid-teir at best, and the performance standards for console games were nowhere near what they are today, so the first time I played a game on a high performance machine at 100+FPS/Hz refresh rate, it was like seeing color for the first time.
Considering I payed to play those campaigns, not watch them on YouTube, I’ll just save my time. Warframe has scratched the Destiny itch for me in recent years while also respecting me as a customer
From what I remember, this started as a solo dev’s passion project, and he refused most help fearing it could compromise his vision. Unfortunately it got to the point where development slowed and I beleive even stopped completely for a time. I’m not sure if he ended up overwhelmed, or maybe just got bored or ran out of funds, or maybe a combo of those, but a couple years back he decided to bring in a few more people to share the burden and finally get the project finished.
Does this mean that sunsetted content can be played again (ie the original campaign)? If so I would mayhe consider getting back into it. Otherwise I still have no interest in returning
In my experience of maintaining Arch, it’s as simple as:
-Keep your packages up to date -Keep your mirrorlist up to date -install a package called “pacdiff” and run it after every update (certain config files need to be manually replaced/updated after system updates, pacdiff handles this for you. This actually includes your mirrorlist).
Anything else really just boils down to individual issues with packages which could happen on any distro, or really and OS in general. As another user said, if you got Arch installed as a newer Linux user, you’re already doing well.
Been running the same Arch installation for a bit over a year. Minor issues here and there, but nothing out of the ordinary for general computer use.
Learning was hard. I’d say it took me a good year before I was really genuinely comfortable with Linux overall, and even then, it was quite a while longer before I felt I could call myself experienced or proficient.
I will say this, switching to AMD was a massive step up in terms of reliability. Also, and this is just my experience, but as someone who also started on Ubuntu, I’ve had far fewer weird obscure issues on Arch than on that, or any other distro I’ve tried. It’s daunting, but it’s so well documented that it’s almost impossible to have an issue with no known fix.
This really depends on what you consider “progress”. Some forms of AI are neat pieces of tech, there’s no denying that. However, all I’ve really seen them do in an industrial sense is shrink workforces to save a buck via automation, and produce a noticably worse product.
That quality is sure to improve, but what won’t change is the fact that real humans with skill and talent are out of a job because of a fancy piece of software. I personally don’t think of that as progress, but that’s just me.
