Ascension from Final Fantasy XVI.

Honestly that is probably the least fucked up infamous Reddit story.

I still remember hearing about a Ring 0 exploit in Windows (I may be misremembering, though) that required Ring 0 access. I think if an attacker has access to Ring 0, you’re already screwed anyway.

It was a PS1 emulator and one of the best ones. Shame about the developer.

None of the three things you listed need the CLI, except for a couple of distros. Most distros can use the GUI for those.

Gimp and Blender are both available on Linux. VS Code is on Linux (most coding stuff is on Linux). Linux file explorers work pretty well (Dolphin, for example). I’d recommend Kubuntu, KDE neon or Linux Mint for the distro, all are pretty similar in appearance to Windows. It won’t take much learning with them.

How is that McCarthyism?

poor service

bad library

too expensive

can’t share passwords

“How could pirates do this!?!??!”

Oh no. Poor Hollywood.

Anyway…

Kubuntu, KDE neon, Debian with KDE.

Mods, remove his balls

Game of Thrones is an odd one, because what they did was fuck up the characters. All of them. I don’t think a single character who survived to the end was left unscathed by shitty writing outside of a couple minor characters. It doesn’t really help that they obviously rushed the ending out, which only made it worse by making the actions of the characters make absolutely no sense.

The DS feature was called Download Play. It’s an awesome feature.

I feel like they intended to mention KDE neon (which is the official KDE distro).

It’s not that good. It’s ok (especially now that it’s been unshackled from the hell of UWP), but it’s not as good as most Linux options.

In a nutshell; it works with a lot of tweaks.

Wine can run most of those, not all. You can still dual boot Windows if you need to (VMs are an option, but they aren’t always the best).

Linux can handle pretty much everything on Windows. Very few games can’t be run through Proton or similar.

Fire OS, but it was just a fork of Android. There are mobile Linux distributions (like postmarketOS), but Fire wasn’t one of them.

This is probably the best option for Lemmy.world. It’s not being run by a big company, after all. Normal people often get screwed when their servers have anything related to piracy on them.
