So I see this game. Let me sum up what I actually see:
Reviews are mixed: not a great start
Requires 3rd-party account: fuck that
60 euros base game: expensive, especially when the game has mixed reviews
175 euros DLC’s: are you fucking kidding me? On top of 60 euros for the base game, there’s another 175 fees for content?
purchasable CoD points: so pay to win?
And they don’t understand why people pirate, run away from AAA games and go for indie games instead.
This is just a random example. I’ve quit playing COD after Modern Warfare.
To end this positively: I recently started playing Necesse which is really nice, and I started playing an old time favorite again after a long time: World of Goo. Both worth my money :)
I gotta be honest, there was, and always seems to be so much more to fight against whenever I use linux pretty much purely because there is just less third party support for it.
The number of things that I just give up on because I know itll be another multi hour fight for something basic are too high.
Like KDE Plasma is goated, but I just, from personal experience, just don’t buy the idea that you don’t fight more on linux. You have more agency, but you also have to use it more.
I have 2 modern desktop systems, so Ill probably continue to play with it, and I certainly will obviously keep using it for my NAS, self hosting projects, but in terms of a desktop os, oof; I don’t have the energy/fight/will and resolve.
I’ve used linux systems for years btw, in jobs, in my personal life etc, so really the only thing that was new was trying to use it as my main desktop self administrated OS for general purposes.
A lot of my recent experiences have been with arch and because it’s always up to date and AUR being as expensive as it is, I always seen to find an easy way to install something, even third party stuff. I’ve never hit any of the issues people have with saying an update can break your system yet, but then again I only install what I need and always uninstall stuff that I either installed accidentally or no longer need.
I tried fedora with nobara for a bit because I liked bazzite, but it wasn’t for me. I got too used to what’s available to me via arch or at least being used to know where to look for that stuff on arch vs fedora
