  • My main needs are gaming

    Most gaming needs, you’ll have to check protondb to see if you’d be comfortable not being able to play certain games. (games not on steam, you can look to Lutris for community made installers)
    While Gold and Silver means games require slight setup (setup is usually explained by user-reports), Platinum means you’re good out of the box, Borked means no chance, you especially want to watch out if your game has an Anti-Cheat (and read the latest user-reports on the game if you’re truly desperate to see if things changed in the last week, like sometimes something like Gundam Evolution quietly enables the linux option in EasyAntiCheat)
    If you have a steamaccount, you can log in to get the list of games that you already own on that account to easily see their ratings

    local AI

    Guides are straightforward, you just have to worry about whether you have nvidia or amd

    browser stuff

    no issues



  • Having the option to have multiple versions of a dependency without needing to have duplicates of the same version alá flatpak seems like it should’ve been a no-brainer on any linux distro.
    With that said I’m very comfortable with my current system, so definitely not until I get majorly fucked by my life-choices
    Definitely sounds like a competent player in comparison to most distros though.

    And I feel like the terminal isn’t as big a barrier as everyone makes it out to be (part of why I say that is because I think the entire concept of “beginner friendly distros” only makes the terminal seem more impenetrable through that wording)

    All-in-one config is definitely something I would’ve hoped Arch had as well, and as a bonus I would love a system that kept all things related to the user in /home (I’m not completely sure Nix does but I may as well throw that in) (homed does not do that as it still has entities outside of /home that you better back up, in fact you’ll risk being locked out of your user if you don’t)


  • I was zzz until i heard having the ability to have different versions of packages installed at the same time without having the flatpak issue of having to have duplicates of the same package.
    All-in-one config is definitely something I would’ve hoped Arch had (I just like the idea of everything user-related stored within /home because that makes fucking sense, no, homed doesnt do exactly that) so I’ll definitely check it out if my harddrive ever crashes or something.


  • The name HD 189733 b is derived from the naming convention used for astronomical objects. Let’s break it down:

    • HD: HD stands for Henry Draper Catalogue, which is a stellar catalog containing information about thousands of stars. It was compiled by Annie Jump Cannon and her colleagues in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
    • The number represents the specific star in the Henry Draper Catalogue. In this case, HD 189733 refers to the star around which the exoplanet was discovered. The number of the star has no meaning outside of that it was the 189733rd catalogued one in HD’s catalogue
    • The letter “b” is used to designate the first known planet orbiting the star. (a is for stars) If additional planets were discovered in the same system, they would be labeled with subsequent letters in alphabetical order (e.g., HD 189733 c, HD 189733 d, and so on).

    Therefore, HD 189733 b signifies the first planet discovered orbiting the star HD 189733. This naming convention allows astronomers and researchers to identify and differentiate between different planets and their host stars in a systematic manner.

    TOI 849 b is TESS Object of Interest’s 849th discovery of interest. The numbers are essentially arbitrary outside of that numbers before them have already been taken.
