They don’t make gaming better, they make it easier for people who want to switch to have a functioning system, and there’s no price tag at all. Some will learn from there, some will just keep taking the easy way and that’s fine too.
It’s gatekeeping because without them only people willing and able to get technical get access to Linux. Would it be better if everybody learned? Of course. It’s not going to happen though, let others have a way in.
Everything works, so keep gatekeeping if it makes you feel better
If gaming is a priority, Garuda is a nice one to avoid as well
I like the fossify forks much better than the simple tools, I used to only use the gallery (and even for that I switched to Aves) now I have many of them as default. Dialer is nice, though the integration could flow better.
It sounds like that those therapy groups suck, honestly.
I’ve never tried groups, but I found a really amazing therapist so they exist, hope you find one who helps you.
Before that stroke of luck, I found a few books that helped me a lot with self sabotaging and other issues. If you’re interested, I could share.
Best of luck out there.
Have you tried the fossify dialer?
Their whole set of apps is nice.
One of them is definitely Sync, don’t know about others
How are they choosing the bear? Both of those are actively hostile towards women, they don’t just “go their own way” to chill with the bear
If you’re curly, that means having straws in place of hair
I always try to be nice, but the motivation comes in handy when the person in front of you seems to be trying their darnest to be infuriating
I like URLCheck better, the graphics isn’t that nice but it works like a charm and you can set it to get rid of amp, redirect, anything you can script for basically
It takes 10 minutes for you. I know people who struggle to understand that the browser isn’t google isn’t the internet, try having them install a new OS. They don’t follow the guides, because they don’t even understand what they should look for.
Some understand enough but like the convenience, and again that’s fair.
Bedsides, gaming distros aren’t the mess you say they are, nor are they so much more niche than any other major distro.
Usually they just work, when they don’t you look for fixes in the underlying distro community.
You are gatekeeping, and you are condescendingly deciding the best path for everyone else. I get that you honestly think it would be better, still people are different, what’s best for you doesn’t need to be the best for everyone else.
