The short answer is in many cases it’s just not worth it. Maintaining a Linux build is not free and the possible market share gain is fairly minimal. Add to that the possibility you get it for free through proton and your reasons for investing the dev effort shrink.

I’ve heard an argument for maintaining Linux builds because Linux users will provide better bug reports but that mindset is unlikely to ever survive in a big studio

-d is required if you’re on an lts until .1. If you’re on mantic you should be able to upgrade without it

Fwiw you don’t need to cancel or trial anything. Everyone can get free Ubuntu pro licensesbfor up to 5 machines

I get so tired of this talking point. New York times, Washington Post, and even Fox news each have an article (or multiple) on this event.

A prison system of labor camps. It’s literally the definition and part of the Russian name for them.

Gulag, (Russian: “Chief Administration of Corrective Labour Camps”), system of Soviet labour camps…

It’s an ebook

My group is almost exclusively dads with fulltime jobs. We play remote (FoundryVTT), run one game a week that runs between 2 and 4 hours.

Full disclosure I’ll say that remote is about 85% as good as playing in person, but I’ll take 80% and easy scheduling over 100% but constant missed games or conflicts

In another country where this wasn’t relevant perhaps?

That’s fair. I can’t say it feels more bloated to me, but the tablet/mobile issue is definitely a big one if relevant for your players.

Not really the topic, but why do you want to run owlbear alongside foundry? It seems like a slimmer alternative rather than something to use in conjunction.

To actually answer the title post I just run foundryvtt and I have a bunch of RPG manuals backed up in Nextcloud so I guess that too

Testability for one, but I would also argue that those functions are there for using. If some block of logic is sufficient to stand on its own, it should. I’m not saying do it arbitrarily, but it’s been my experience that small functions lead to more readable code and better testing. Most people write a 15 line function treating it as if it does a single thing when in reality it’s doing two or three discrete operations

Well named functions, called in succession increase readability, not decrease.
