barrett9h,

missed a lot of good games, like:

Freeciv

Battle for Wesnoth

all id Doom and Quake games up to Doom 3

barrett9h,

but arch wiki is the best resource to troubleshoot linux and learn how to make things work

barrett9h,

I still use Mate, but switched the window manager to i3.

barrett9h,

why not mpv?

barrett9h,
  1. Install OpenBSD
  2. ???
  3. Profit!
barrett9h,

192 kHz for music.

The CD was the worst thing to happen in the history of audio. 44 (or 48) kHz is awful, and it is still prevalent. It would be better to wait a few more years and have better quality.

barrett9h,

because if you use a 40 kHz signal to “draw” a 10 kHz wave, the wave will have only four “pixels”, so all the high frequencies have very low fidelity

barrett9h,

I use one called Dark Background and Light Text.

barrett9h,

Nothing wrong, if don’t spend daily hours editing text (or code).

Did we kill Linux's killer feature?

A few years ago we were able to upgrade everything (OS and Apps) using a single command. I remember this was something we boasted about when talking to Windows and Mac fans. It was such an amazing feature. Something that users of proprietary systems hadn’t even heard about. We had this on desktops before things like Apple’s...

barrett9h,

so ditch this nonsense and use a better distro?

barrett9h,

Why make the effort to switch to Firefox, if the browser that came installed with your device works?

Or, more realistically, people don’t even grok the concept of a web browser.

barrett9h,

xbps felt like a million characters to type which I hated

Ever heard of alias?

For me it’s alias pks=‘xbps-query -Rs’ and alias pki=‘xbps-install’ (package search and package install).

barrett9h,

Before Void I was using Debian (then Devuan), and I used aliases for the package manager commands there too.

Anyway, I think the “the program name is too long” argument is even worse.

barrett9h,

Darktable is a great photo editor (similar to Lightroom).
