Unfortunately I can’t help you with Nobara, but I’m surprised you’re having troubles with EndeavourOS.

EOS has been working out of the box for me for almost everything.

Why anyone would spend 1500 dollars and 300 hours on a parody is beyond me but it’s impressive work nonetheless for a solo dev.

The gameplay was fun to watch, but mostly just because the characters steps sounded like their shoes were sticky after they stepped into some spilled cola or zombie guts or whatever.

Reasonable

I don’t think I understand your point about them impersonating users? It seems to me like an account gets created for everyone using the portal. It then provides you a password and you can start using that account. I tried it just now and it seems like your account gets flagged as bot on creation automatically. So most people posting from that domain, might just not have unchecked that “I’m a bot”-tick and are actual former Reddit users.

Creating an account doesn’t make a user active though, but for the question if a bot posting stuff counts as an active user or not, I honestly can’t say.

It’s active users, not total users. I’m not sure on the exact metric, but users need to post, comment, vote or whatever to be counted for this statistic.

No one told me before I bought it, and it’s not mentioned on the steam store, see the point of the specs. So I don’t quite understand what you mean with “if they hadn’t told people”, because they sure didn’t unless you’re on that specific social media they did it on.

I’ve watched all those feature videos before and they don’t mention that I shouldn’t get my hopes up.

Anyways I don’t want to occupy your time and argue, in the end I’m just super miffed and disappointed because I had a free weekend for once and was looking forward to binging CS2.

I strongly disagree. The game has massive performance issues and I’m getting 10-20 FPS on the lowest possible settings with my 2080 Super. At that point it looks worse than CS1 and performs worse.

Also the 7 FPS or so on the main menu are ridiculous, unless they’re using my pc to mine crypto in full force.

If they release a complete game for 50€ or 90€, then I expect that shit to be a super smooth experience, even on the minimum recommended specs, which do in fact note a GTX 980 if I recall correctly.

So either get the specs correct, optimise the game properly or get out of the business. I’m a programmer myself and I’d be deeply ashamed if I released software that performs so poorly.

In case you’re interested I’ve tried out a few things and kinda settled on fish, but will still use bash for scripting.

Fair point. For me using a distro dedicated to making Arch accessible just is more attractive than having an installer and being on my own afterwards.

But yeah, EndeavourOS is pretty much just an installer with purple space theming.

Definitely. For now every fix that worked for Arch, also worked for me.

I think EndeavourOS profits greatly from being so close to Arch, because right now every fix that worked for an Arch user also worked for me.

Idk much about other distros, but maybe try Pop OS first and see if you like it.

As I mentioned I’ve ran into really weird issues with steam because of some missing dependencies that are mentioned on page 49 of google search results.

This will send me down another 4h rabbit hole today, thanks 😬

Yes, I was also very surprised. The userbase is surprisingly small, even though it runs quite well.

But if I wasn’t into IT, I’d probably have run into issues that I wouldn’t be able to fix. Just little things like proper directory permissions, ownership and such.

I already do, haha 😄

Thanks for the advice. I’ll definitely check it out. I’ve killed my Raspberry Pi twice due to bash typos, so with this being my main system I want to be extra careful.

Thanks for the hint. I’m kinda curious about Arch, so I’ll definitely check out EndeavourOS.

Unfortunately for work I’m still bound to Windows then because we use Visual Studio. I guess I can just use a VM if I ever need that for personal use though!
