Back then most of the synths came from Japan, if not whole product than the chips and other internals.

Same, I sunk so much time in that game and the music was a huge part of it. It’s great to hear the original synth tracks.

The ads in terminal show when you use ssh or only command line for the system. It happens when you log in so you mainly see it if you use Ubuntu server or use ssh to get into your computer a lot.

Souls like games. I tried, I’m just not built for them.

The final reason I still boot to windows, publishing apps.

Nothing all self contained like that but you can replicate it with most tiling window managers, a few terminal anpps, and some configurations.

It’s an android-x86 based OS. Basically android for PC. There have been builds of android for X86 for a good while now but I can’t imagine using that as a daily driver.

I completely forgot that grub could be themed… brb

Yeah, Linux drivers are all in the kernel and your hardware uuids won’t change except for the parts that get swapped out. You will have issues if you are changing cpu architecture though. I haven’t tried moving from x86 to x86_64 but I can imagine that it will cause problems.

I didn’t like it. I got it on sale and tried it. I just have muscle memory for Xbox style controllers and that didn’t give me any advantages that made it worth retraining.

The problem with making a Minecraft game is that people who like Minecraft will be upset that it’s not like Minecraft and people who don’t like Minecraft will be upset that it’s like Minecraft. Both groups will be excited about it until it’s released.

Unless you use Linux, your OS knows a ton about you. On top of that, with root access to your computer they can do whatever they want and if their system gets hacked you become a member of a bot farm or crypto mine.

It doesn’t, installing the game does. The terms of service just let you know that you are willfully infecting your computer with spyware.

Be warned, these games have turned into literal spyware. Installing them gives 2K/Gearbox root access to your computer and collects a ridiculous amount of info.

You literally posted the answer to your question. Here is an expansion of the details.

about 20 years ago. Early 2000s I started messing around with Redhat and was suprised that a full OS that did most of the windows things was available for free. when Ubuntu gained traction I jumped on that and tried distro hopping a bit before landing aolidly on Debian derivatives as my linux of choice. I remember catching a ban in WoW because WINE was detected by their anti cheat for a while.

When I said 3rd party I meant non mojang jars, not hosting providors

Not when compared to the third party servers. Not only do they run better but they give the option of using plugins or mods to further improve performance and enhance gameplay.
