Because its not on a powerful google server, it’s just a volunteer. Some instances allow proxying to hide your ip but i believe it is more taxing on the server

Is it that hard? I’ve played stone hard games like dmc/dark souls but this seems very different
neosheo@discuss.tchncs.deto Gaming@beehaw.org•What games do you think are unfairly snubbed when talking about the best games of all time?5·1 year agoI think for best games of all time i think fallout new vegas. Its super well regarded amongst bethesda fans but i dont hear it listed as one of the greatest in general and i think i definitely deserves to be up there. The size of the world, the zaney humor, the amount of quests, weapons, amd your effect on the world. There’s just so much to this game

Don’t forget to run

tho. The program is actually still installed, the symlimk to $PATH is just deleted after exiting the nix-shell
neosheo@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?5·2 years agoThis is a first for me. I was able to pick up nixos pretty well but gentoo scares me
I went to increase the lvm portion of my / and /home by taking 10G from /home and adding 10G to /. Instead of writing -10G i wrote 10G on my /home volume and changed it from 450G to 10G instead of 450G to 440G

neosheo@discuss.tchncs.deto Privacy Guides@lemmy.one•Privacy friendly Ubuntu antivirus ?English1·2 years agoFor the automating of reinstalls what do you mean?
Is it just a playbook that installs the distro, them installs the same packages, and then restores things like /home from backup?
I recommend bodhi linux. I was looking for something similar to arch and i think this is a good alternative. I have been using it for about 3 years now and had no serious issues. They recently updated to 7.0 and now the packages are much more up to date.
It is based on ubuntu 22.04 and uses apt as a package manager. I find installing nix package manager alongside it can help get any packages it doesnt have, but i havent really had much issue with that since moving to 7.0
Its designed to run on old hardware, and i can vouch it works fine on a system with 2gb ram so it will not use much resources.
It comes with thunar as manager and terminology as terminal. I have also used pcmanfm and mate terminal on the system and they work fine as well.
It uses moksha desktop environment which is a fork of enlightenment but i have also used lxde on it as well and switching was not hard.
I dont really game on it since it is on low end hardware but it should have no problem with retroarch on a more powerful system.
It has synaptic package manager for gui installs but tbh i haven’t really used it since i use cli for that. You shouldn’t have any trouble installing flatpak on it as well. And you should be able to use obs on it (tho i haven’t tried)
I would say this distro should do most of what you want extremely lightweight and mostly out of the way (don’t really get notifications on it).
It requires a bit of tinkering at first because it is minimalist and only ships with the minimum required packages but this gives the option to put the packages only you want on there. But once you’re set up you really won’t have to change anything
I’m not one hundred percent on the train of immutable, however, i have undertakes nixos and don’t user flatpak/snap. The nix configuration file is where i install everything.
But while.i agree its not super hard to switch DEs on something like ubuntu etc. But one cool thing on nix (which i think you can do on any distro with nix package manager installed) is that you can test the package without installing it at all. The roll bavk id also nice cuz ive had situations where apt gets “broken” ive always been able to fix it with a little searching but its always frightening. Knowing that nix can go back to an old config at anytime makes me a little more comfortable

I just rsync my home dir to a backup and then rsync it to a new machine
It gets more confusing when you read their user name
