I don’t have 24 free hours, but damn if iam going to try to spend them all on Factorio anyway!

Iam using mint, because it seemed like a good “beginner” distro

I jumped ship a month ago. Never really used Linux outside of some small school projects.

And my god have I had lots of issues with stuff that didn’t work or it was missing some packages that I had no idea how to get.

I have a colleague that have used Linux for +10-20 years. So having somebody to ask for help is very valuable!

But all the games I normally play is working so I don’t regret jumping ship.

I haven’t played RCT so not sure how I compares.

But Factorio is first of, a sandbox game. You can build however you want in your own tempo. Not sure what you mean by finicky?

But I don’t think it’s tedious micromanagement at all. it feels super good when you build something new and it works. And there is so many technologies and it’s jus fun exploring how everything works together and coming up with new designs!

There is also enemies, but can be turned off if you just want to focus on building a Factory. I mostly play with them, building up defences and killboxes and making automated train supply that comes with ammo, wall, etc.

It has a demo you can try out. It’s scenarios so you try out different base mechanics in the game. But the actual game is a sandbox game.

They changed that in an update a couple months ago, so it’s only the game that is being played that’s locked and not the whole library

Update: Steam news - Introducing Steam Families

Was taking 2 gap years in education. Where I worked a year, and took firefighters education for 9 month, where I met my now wife, after that traveled for 2 month, before I continued my education with computer science.

I got lured for my bandos armor back in the day, I stopped playing for a couple of years after that one

Thanks! OLED might actually be a viable option for me, if this new tech works out

Haha geez man, let’s hope that’s not the future we’re getting

I guess you’re right on the sleeping part, might not be the best idea. But I’m sure if the trucking companies could skip sleeping time for trucks and allow the person to sleep while driving. They would 100% do it.

A loud siren/alarm or something could wake you up I guess if something goes wrong or if you’re nearing your destination

You could get payed to just sleep or play games, seems like a dream job for some people.

But remote controlled driving also seems like a pretty good idea, if it works reliably
