I know, right!

It’s my headcannon, but I give Gandalf points for forcing the fighter jet into a helicopter arena.

Someone just removed many lifetimes of CO2 emissions with a couple of lines of code.

Shame that usage will just expand to fill the gap. Thanks late stage capitalism. Degrowth.

I like FreshRSS in a container, works great from a browser, and you can hit it from your phone on the loo...

Bazzite (ublue fedora kinoite derivative). Distrobox lets you install containerized alternate OSes, so you install stuff there, isolated from the main OS. If something breaks, you can just blow it away and start again without affecting bootability etc. Such is the beauty of immutable operating systems.

Yeah, I was younger then, perhaps less disciplined, and as always, given enough work you can decompile or regenerate anything. Still, I contend, the nature of Perl, powerful as it was, lent itself to unmaintainable messes, and I'm not talking regex's, which is why it has faded, no amount of get gud withstanding.

Very nice, love it, most evocative. Thanks for the heads-up...

I upvoted you because I consider Perl write only (used to know it, now it inspires readable code as a high priority)

Damn, well done on the photo manipulation...

Your use case seems fine, all of that works (in flatpak). FWIW wouldn't consider bazzite particularly gaming-centric, although it's good at it, it's immutable fedora with add-ons, so it has all of fedora behind it. The ublue project also has non-gaming variants. I'm a dev, but I have it on my desktop as I game, still develop on it (in distroboxes (basically containers with an OS, I mostly dev in Arch for AI stuff for example, but my main OS doesn't get touched by my random mucking about)). Have a poke around in my history, I've said a bit on it, I find it good...Feel free to question later.

You don't say what else other than gaming you want to do, so it's harder to advise. Still, consider bazzite KDE, easy, stable, relatively close to the bleeding edge without all the cuts, everything you need for gaming in the tin.
