    Skipping straight to action instead of main menu and options is annoying.

    When I started playing [game name here, atm can’t remember it, it’s from warframe people] it immediately started a plot cutscene which wasn’t available later on. I sure wanted to see that plot presented in a 720p medium settings on my large 1440p display.

    Sure, in the grand scheme of things the plot in the game is irrelevant as it can be, but damn it, let me enjoy it full screen.

    They have likely fixed, but holy hell, why was it like that in the first place. Abysmal new player experience.











  • you can always add eg. a swap file later if needed - apparently not as good as a swap partition, but it is more flexible. With 48 GB of ram I hardly think you’re going to have issues, but that depends entirely on what do you do with the system.

    Firewall isn’t really helping the system against you, it’s to block ousiders getting in - more or less.

    install locations: if you just use what’s in mint’s repositories, you don’t really need to think about it. Out-of-repository stuff like steam games etc generally live in ~/.steam or so. Or in some dedicated path you configure in steam/whatever.

    As for snap/flatpaks/whatever, haven’t used a single one. But in general: I’d favor the distribution’s repos, if at all possible for installs. If the app isn’t there, but is in snap… fine, I guess? As long as it’s managed by some kind of package manager for easy install/update/uninstall. But having to manually download and install from a website? Rather not, that’s when the maintenance becomes manual.

    And of course, opinions are opionated. Your system, your rules. :P
