The story is in the fact that they’re even asking.

I hear good things about Chimera OS feeling a lot like Steam OS when you’re trying to get a similar experience for laptops, if that’s what you’re going for.

Keep a small Windows partition if you play any of those games with anti-cheat that don’t allow Linux.

Otherwise, almost everything else just works with Proton. It’s a lovely age.

My two favorite distros as well.

Mint Cin is a solid first distro. UI feels a lot like Windows and gives a comfy environment to learn in.

Honestly, Google did this to themselves with not properly vetting the advertisers that they sell space to, and with oversaturation of ads.

If they’d have stopped granting ad space to scammers and malware spreaders, and if they’d have stopped adding advertisements at the line most people find tolerable (which seems to be a single ad between videos… not multiple at a time, and certainly no mid-rolls), they wouldn’t have triggered quite the level of ad blocking that they did.

I see this “problem” that they have as being entirely of their own making.

They found it, it crashed in SC.

Common Amazon deception. Mark up a product’s base cost artificially, then take a “percentage off” to bring it back down to near the base price it always is. Maybe slightly more expensive or cheaper, but usually just a smidge away from the normal cost. It’s for the illusion of “being on sale.”

Use an Amazon price tracker site (like camel camel camel for example) so that you can always call out Amazon and make sure that you’re getting their actual lowest prices when you have to buy from them.

Feel your pain. I’m constantly thinking, what the hell do I have to do to get r/orioles to follow me over to Lemmy to grow the numbers? They are one of the only things left at Reddit that I regularly look at. But 99% of the mod and user base there just doesn’t care about the the issue.

Conversely, that means that at least sports spaces are among the least bot-spammed places on Reddit. So there’s that.

Please definitely don’t be discouraged in the slightest, TPM.

Single-game forums were almost always the smallest gaming subreddits on Reddit, often times being several orders of magnitude smaller than the “gaming in general” communities.

But that special feeling of having other people passionate about that specific game you love can’t be beat. Hang in there, and you’ll definitely grow and get that engagement in time.

With likely worse, less experienced volunteer moderators. But Reddit seems committed to rolling those dice, as evidenced by their communications and actions. We’ll see how that works out for them.
