Good idea, but I 100% expect the bios to be locked down and force secure boot. Hopefully there would at least be a work around to enroll new keys, but don’t count on it.

I feel like we go through this every time Bethesda releases a game. Yes, every other engine is just as old. I’m sure there’s some ut99 code still in unreal, and maybe some quake code in source 2. The difference is those other engines already work pretty well, and have improved over time. The creation engine is still somehow just as janky every time, and somehow still has bugs dating back to skyrim or oblivion. I want to believe they can fix it, but their track record does not inspire confidence.

Similar idea to powerline adapters, except over coax lines instead.

Looks like TrueNAS.

Yes. Microsoft owns Activision Blizzard, as of Oct 2023

Yep. They rewrote the progression/leveling system like 5 times.

Yep, the captchas are great. I’ve got mine set to an NFC card in another room. It forces me to get out of bed and walk to another room to tap my phone on it to turn off the alarm.

I disagree. Not everyone wants to spend the time to completely customize their system. Distros like Manjaro and Endeavor give people a decent “just works” install while still giving them experience with the Arch ecosystem. The forums are usually a good resource, and everything on the arch wiki still applies. It might just be because I had previous linux experience, but I’ve learned a lot running Manjaro.

The average person is not going to jump straight into vanilla Arch as their first distro, but after a couple years with Manjaro, they might try it.
