Can we do it for Ticks?

I try, but I can’t find some things, like Canadian onions at the stores. :(

If redirecting with /etc/hosts isn’t enough, you could set up a cron job (I guess as root?) to re-copy a hosts file back to /etc/hosts every half hour or something. That way even if you do manually change /etc/hosts for an quick peak of an illicit website, it’ll go back to being blocked in a short amount of time. This’ll add a bit of the “pain in the ass” factor.

Dwarf Fortress is linux compatible, although I haven’t played it in years its a colony builder that can get super in-depth. Its interface is a learning hurdle though.

You might like Conan Exiles, its a sandboxy survival game that just got updated recently with better graphics. I kind of feel its more a exploration game than a builder though. Hrm…

A bunch i really liked were:

• Hades (and Hades 2) (action roguelike)
• Dead Cells (side scroller roguelike)
• Celeste (Precision Platformer)
• HexCells (puzzle game)
• Shadow Tactics: Blade of the Shogun (Stealth Strategy, the other games by the same dev are great too)
• Prey (well, maybe its not an indie, but its great)
• Vampire Survivors (Bullet Heaven, great to zone out too, lots of things to collect)
• BugSnax (Not sure if Indie, but a lot more fun than it looks)
• Cave Story (Side Scroller)
• Creeper World 4 (Strategy game, I think 4 is the most recent. No need to play older ones unless you want more of the same)
• Earth Defence force 6 (janky, but fun multiplayer with friends)
• Heros Hour (strategy)
• Oxygen Not Included (colony builder)
• Rim World (colony builder)
• Satisfactory (Automation game)
• Pit People (strategy game)
• Supraland (puzzle game, sequel is fun too)
• The Talos Principle (Puzzle game, I think its indie?)
• Undertale (RPG, its fantastic)
• You must build a boat (Match 3)

Team Vim. Because I learned the vim basics once 20 years ago and never bothered to learn after that. :D

I don’t know what you did but I like that UI.

Neat, I had no idea Mindustry was open source. My roommate played a ton of the steam version.

Yeah, thats kinda been my experience too. Any time a game has a linux build on steam I swear its a 50/50 if it’ll even run. I almost always end up switching to proton.

Neat. Maybe they’ve changed it since I last used it. Still not going back though.

I only have to reboot when I want to, not when a corporation wants me to.

I am at the moment, but I’m thinking of switching to XFCE.

I switched to Mate originally because Cinnamon always runs out of memory and starts slowing down over time. If they fixed the memory issues I’d probably prefer Cinnamon.

Is biting the world good or bad?

I was thinking the same thing. There probably is a downside to having the innate immune system active 24/7, even if we don’t know what it is yet.

A magical nasal spray that gets rid of allergies for 3 months sure does sound nice though.

Slackware was my first linux back in the day. :)

Thanks! I guess something like vim would count as a TUI then.

What is a TUI? I haven’t heard that term before.

Hey, I remember you from when I used to browse imgur. I always enjoyed your image dumps. :D

Out of curiosity, how do you find gemini sites to read? If there aren’t forms I assume there isn’t a search engine?

Pretty good for me with Mint. Mostly audio annoyances and window manager annoyances. I hated cinnamon because it leaks memory like mad and needs to be restarted often. Now I’m using Mate, but it seems to have a lot of annoying quirks of its own.

Also I found that the compositor really messes with the performance of gaming, so I needed to turn it off which was a bit of a pain to figure out.

Other than that, everything has been fine, but I used to use Linux a lot 20 years ago so the transition wasn’t too bad for me.
