Competition is good…when the competition is actually competitive.

But what has happened is games on are steam … which installs the launcher + game.

So it’s not a win at all. It’s actually a loss for us. If steam was to force “yeah you can publish the game on steam, but you cannot use your launcher”

The first major issue for me was that the launcher was a crypto miner and they didn’t tell anyone.

Since then, I have 0 trust in them and refuse to install the launcher. I don’t care for the “free games”

You can be but it’s very rare to find someone that is.

For programming I always tell folks you need 3 skills: adaptability, self-reliance, and strong problem solving (thinking outside of the box, etc)

The most lacking skill I see new students is self-reliance. Learning to do your own research, knowing when to ask for help and when not to, etc.

I tried nebora after I effed up my kunutnu install. I was doing some super weird stuff. (Tried to remove snap)

Nebora for me was the worst experience out of every distro I’ve tried. I went back to kubuntu and manually applied what nebora did with much better results. (This time around I removed snap before doing anything else).

Kububtu with snap removed has been perfect so far.

Yeah sure layoffs aren’t happening.
