To add a couple of issues with Dynamic Libraries, and why someone would choose Static Libraries:

• The dynamic library being updated can break a program due to a change in the library. Think a math call goes from divide(a,b) to divide(a,b, precision), so now the old call doesn’t exist.
• Some languages don’t have a “stable” way to talk to itself. This means that if you have a program and library compiled with compiler version A, then later compile an update to the library with compiler version B, the program won’t know how to talk to the library correctly, even though the call is still there.

Like a lot of things, there are tradeoffs, and there is no universal correct choice.

Oblivion: introduced predatory micro transactions

Emacs with evil-mode or when I am banging around the console, neovim.

Wait, there is nothing after second life? What is the point of second life without third life to give it meaning? /s

Sundered. I would love to see the equivalent of Rogue Legacy 2 for that game, where the sequel completely supplants the original while expanding upon the storytelling and lore.

As a vim user who recently started with Emacs, if you ever want to try it, use evil-mode to get vim motions.

You can run i3 inside XFCE on a per user basis, but convincing my wife/kids to swap users when they need the computer for “just a second”…

I just take the win that they are on Linux and use a shared account.

XFCE. I also like tiling WMs, but I often have to share computers and they are too unintuitive for the rest of the family.

The beauty of Linux at home, you get to choose what works best for you.

Also, you can configure sudo to prompt every time if you really want.

I was on a system that was configured that way for “security”, so I would just ‘sudo bash’ which is obviously much safer /s.

N64 controller. It’s insane, but I love it.

I totally expect one day a XFCE (Wayland) option will show up, I will click it, forget I did, and use it forever more.

XOrg is my daily driver for these reasons:

1. I mostly use XFCE, which doesn’t have Wayland yet
2. last time I tried Wayland (long time ago now on Gnomr), it was buggy and didn’t work
3. I don’t change my setups that much, so I haven’t tried it since
4. I don’t need the features Wayland offers/XOrg covers my use cases
5. Wayland drama

That being said, I have no fundamental opposition to Wayland, and will probably use it someday.

To follow on to this, the “best” build may not be the best for you and how you play. Try out various things to see what feels right to you. Sword and board, magic, gish, dual wield, big two hander, bigger two hander, etc. All of them are viable to beat the game, so find the one you like the most/is easiest for you.

Slackware was my first real distro (many moons ago), glad to see people still enjoy it.

Similarly, I like to toy around with tiling window managers, but then someone less technical needs to use the computer, so back to XFCE we go.

I do love the “shorts can be no more than 1 inch above the knees”, but “cheerleaders get to wear the equivalent of bathing suits to class because it is a ‘uniform’.”

Probably because of what happened to CentOS. Who owns the Fedora trademark? How independent is Fedora really?

I am not saying anyone should avoid Fedora, I can just understand why someone would.

+1 Void Linux revived my old ThinkPad very well.

Use the image with XFCE and glibc for the easiest time.
