Cool, thank you for informing me.

Same thing, both words describe the same thing.

Ive heard very good things about CachyOS, tho I have not personally tried it. Seems to be the gaming distro of choice when people want a more normal linux, aka not atomic.

What issues did your LCD deck have?

As far as I know Bazzite just needs to be on its own drive. It doesn’t or didnt play nicely with any other OS on the same physical drive; I Know that is the case for windows. Bazzite should not be installed on the same drive as a windows install. I am making an assumption that holds or at least held true for other linux distros as well.

I personally dont have any other distros installed so I cannot be sure on the above.

I have been using Bazzite as my main os for nearly a year now. I tried to swap to linux a few times over the last ~15 years, and always had to go back to windows. I like the atomic nature of it, while it does making installing some software a little harder the peace of mind I gain more than makes up for it for me.

As @winsens says WoW Forever is basically Vanilla+ or Classic+ there are a mountain of changes but a very top level view is the world will never go to BC, it will remain on Azeroth forever, 60 cap forever, new raids, new dungeons, new areas, new stories, it is a complete divergent timeline vs the OG vanilla>tbc>wrath>etc.

One thing I am curious about Longer term is the devs only said staying on Azeroth, which means Nothrend is still on the table, as are many continents retail wow unlocked over the years.

How close is it to Classic? Id say closer to classic than TBC or wrath, even tho several changes form those expansions have made their way into Forever, like unified hit for melee/spells, and a host of other tweaks. https://wowguide.net/en/guides/what-is-wow-forever

Plainsrunning looks so cool! I did consider Tauren too, but since I am planning shaman I figured ghost wolf will have to do.

Druids just got some more changes like days ago I think, some to feral and resto.

My friends and I are going PvE this time (Did PvP in classic and we all universally disliked it, We remember P2), Horde. I am going to go Shaman, but I am unsure on race, But I am leaning Orc over Troll at the moment, the ability to decurse myself will be huge in raids (I assume).

I had almost played shaman back in og vanilla, but ended up with Hunter. This time I am going with my first pick of Shaman. I am planning on being Resto/Ele at 60, tho Ill likely level Ench, so maybe Ill stick to that for my dps spec at cap.

I dont know what that is. SOH took like 1 minute to get working, I downloaded it, added my legally obtained ROM, then started it.

Ok I looked into quiver launcher it seems super neat. I’ll need to look into this more later.

From my logs nothing bad happened to any of my services. I turned off my entire homelab for a few days until every single app/service had an update. Then I turned everything on, updated and that was that.

One cool thing I have is https://github.com/lklynet/hypermind totally pointless, but I like it.

I know it isn’t the new version, but Ship of Harkinian is great especially with HD textures and a bit of tweaking controls. Being able to make my controls like Dark Souls was pretty cool. Oh setting the camera farther back was also super nice, I forgot how close behind Link the camera was. Just finished collecting all 100 Golden Skulltula’s this morning in fact.

I think the you/techtuber community loves to ride Protons D*ck. I would call many of them fanboys.

They own us at literally all infrastructure projects. I visited China in 2023, I went to a small rural town with a small population by China standards (less than 50k) and in my 2 weeks there I saw major road work done that legit would have taken months in my home city in the states. One of the major streets needed work (large holes, uneven, breaking sidewalk, etc etc) it was torn down in one day and rebuilt in 2/3ish, this included the road, the sidewalks, multiple light/power poles.
